gunboats really had retreated; and our
doubts were set al rest, To our great salts
faction, by deserving the Confederate flag
flying from Fort BeauTegard, high above
the little toa4loof .hssEFis onbIirg. After we
had landed, / presented nay letter OF intro
due ion from Gen. Herbert 10 Col. Logan,
who comma ndS the fort. He introduced
me TO a German officer, the engineer.
They gave me an account OF the attack
and repuise Ci the four Federal gunboats
under Commodore Woodford, and supposed
to have been the PittSburg (ironclad) the
Gen Price, the Arizona and another.
Fort Beauregard is a much more formid-
able looking work than ! expected to see.
and is strength had evidently been mucn
undenated at Monroe.
A hill 80 feet high, which rises Just in
rear OF Harrisonburg has been scaTped and
fortified. Ii is situated at an angle OF the
river and faces z long reach" Ot two miles.
The gunboats, after demanding an un-
conditional surrender. which was treated
with great contempt by Col. Logan, oIened
fire at p. m. on Sunday, and kept it up
till $50, throwing about one hundred and
fifty and 1i-inch shell. The gunboats
reo0cned again for about an hour on
Monday afternoon, when they finally with
drew, the Arizona being crippled.
The fort fired altogether about foTty-five
g pound shot (smooth bore. The range
was about mile.

THE CHILDREN OF CUBH.

What Miss Barton and Senator Proctor

The appalling accounts of the suffering and
starvation OF the women and children OF Cuba
are confirmed through private letters from
Miss Clara Barton. who is at the head of the
Red Cross distribution on that unhappy
island. Always guarded in her statements
Of facts. she tells but the simple truth when
she says that the most distressing aspect Of
the present situation is the large number of
iIiendless children, furnishing and clotheIess.
in the streets, their little bodies wasted to
skeletons and no one to pity them in their
distress.
TO the general statements OF suffering.
Senator Proctor, who has just returned from
Cuba, adds forcible testimony. The Governor
OF Matanzas told him that in the single wear
past that city ] al lost 5000 people from
starvation, OF which number nearly {. 900 had
Iii d in the past three months, notwithstanding
AL the aid that has been administered through
the United States.
When one recalls the fact that nearly all
the men who are able TO bear arms. or bows
cid enough to go, are in the insurgent army,
ii viii readily be seen that IL very large ma
lorIiy OF the victims are children Three
deaths took place at one Of the pens where
the women and children are ierded in the
few moments that Senator Proctor and his
party stood looking on, and they were told
thai the death rate was 80 day. Never, in
modern times, has the barbarous treatment of
these people been equaled
The attitude of the people OF the United
States in sending succor TO the starving
Cnbans, and the injury to our feelings, as
humane and generous coplc 10 rcaiize that
the worst form OF farta!isIn Is at Our doors,
has excited the admiration OF the world.

There are people who do not care for poetry,
1but who arc fond of their books; for them
we throw down the glove in the oft-repeated
Insertion that Dickens never drew, a gentle

contrary if they can.
As April draws near and the birds and

us realize that the most beautiful the most

Perhaps little flower much like the potenr

changes Of climate, of soil, and the efforts of
gardeners have brought about the wonderful
changes. So this little potentila is a very
interesting blossom. And those of the l.. II. ".

make sketches OF it if possible, trace it's re-
semblance TO any of its cousins, or give us an
account Of any one OF the r0sace;c or rose

EDITOR NATIONAL. TRIBUNE: Has not
Spain gone about far enough in trampling on
the rights of freemen?
1t is now four hundred years and more since
that Prince of explorers, Christopher Colum-
bus, set foot on the productive soil of the
island now called Cuba.
From that time to the present the history
of the island has been one of Spanish rapacity
and misrule. ,it 51f......ss
Three years have passed since the present
struggle was begun by the preconcerted action
of a number of Cuban patriots who loved
liberty and their country far more than life
itself The only great reverses the patriots have
thus far sustained are the death of Jose Narti
on the field of battle, and the ambuscade and
murder of Antonio MaceO and the assassina-.
tiOn of NestOr Aranguren. ,gS9J
The question which now confrOnts the
United States is Shall We considering the
treatment we have received at the hands OF
Spain, allow this bitter struggle TO continue?
For many long months we have stood by
and calmly watched the desolation of a
fruitful land, the destruction of millions OF
dollars worth of property, and the murder
aud starvation of a struggling people. l;r.
Let us now consider what we have received
in return for our patience and forbeafance.
+ Insults have been heaped upon us by the
Spaniards, because the American people as
ireemen favor the independence of our West
Indian neighbor. ai }4sf }-n
Growing these indignities comes the De
LONE incident and following closely comes
the climax, the destruction of the Maine at
Havana, whereby hundreds of oar brave
boys were hurled into the presence of their
maker without moments warning. -r
During our own civil war, Spain recognized
the Confederate States as beligerents, and,
besides, did everything in her power to aid
them. }tmgr -
Did we demonstrate by insulting her ruler
or destroying her property? Have we in any
way retalia ed during the present struggle
with Cuba? But let us put away all thought
of retaliation and revenge and look ut the
matter rs it appears to-day. ..Gs
The world is looking at US. Let us show
it that when justice calls we are ready to re-
spond. Let us set an example for other
nations, whereby the American troubles might
| be brought to an end 60, .,,,-i.
Our National honor demands that we take
some decisive step in settling the matter. A
peaceab!c settlement would, of course, be
preferable, butif'that cannot be obtained,
| then war it is, fna let it not end until Spain
is willing to Acknowledge the supremacy of
truth, mercy ,aaad Justice Earl CARR,

THE CANE or LIFE.

This life Is like game Of cards.
y. Which mortals have to learn:
Zach shufties. cuts and deals the pack,
"a nd each u trump doth turn.
soine bring high card to the top,
And some doth bring low;
some bold hand quite full Of trumps,
Aud some but few can show.
In playing. some throw out their trump,
Their winning cards 10 save
Some pluy the king, some play the der n
But many piay the knave;
Some play for money, some for love,
some play for worldly fame;
But not until all hands are played
Can any count his game.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules the hour;
No thought Of sorrow checks our Joys
In bcauty's rosy bower.
We laugh, We dance, sweet versss write.
Our cards ut random plan,
And while the heart remains on top
Our lIfe's holiday.
When diamonds chance to rule the puck,
The players stack their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won
by players, young and old.
Each one, intent upon the game,
Doth watch NTH eagcr eye
That be may see his neighb0r's cards
And beat ~ on the sly.
When clubs are trumps. look out for war
On ocean and on land;
For awful deeds Of blood are done
| When clubs nre held In hand.
Then lives are staked instead OF gold,
And dogs Of war are freed,
And sad II Is for any land
| When clubs are In the lead.
Last game of all is when the spade
IL turned by hand Of time,
He waits the end Of players games
In every uge and cline;
No matter how much each one saves
The spade will reckon up the game,
And dig the players graves.
