Much interest has been awakened in
England by the discovery of a prehis-
toric lake village near Glastonbury.
The dwellings were placed on mounds of
clay raised above the level of the water.
The framework of a primitive loom
was found under one mound, and the
number of broken bone needles and
bone splinters discovered in another
mound led the explorers to think that
it may have been the site of an an
cient needle factory. Very few human
bones have been discovered. but among
the interesting finds is a blue glass
bead, with waving dark line running
around it. One of the mounds contains
three hundred tons of clay. all of
which must have been dug from the
surrounding hills and carried to the
spot in boats.

Regarding the embarrassment of the
finances of Spain, the London Statist
says: 1.-The financial embarrassments
of Spain are naturally weighing heav-
lily upon the Paris Bourse. 1t is COM
monty estimated that French investors
hold together about G160,0O0, OOU
worth of Spanish securities. If, there
fore, there were to be an utter break
down in Spain the losses to France
would be very heavy. 1t is to be recol-
lected that France has suffered much
during the past two years from the
collapse of the African boom, from
the crash in the East at the time of
the Armenian massacres from the fall
In Spanish that has been going on so
long, and If there were to be another
breakdown the losses would be enor-
nous. The condition Of Spain ex-
plains much of the extreme quietness
at present in the European stock mar
kets, and especially Of the stagnation
IN Paris and the unwillingness to en-
ter into new enterprise"

New York, Dec. 3i.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Sal

luton. To protect American interests
the navy department, upon the request
graphed orders to the gunboat Mariet-
tn. which is ut Mare Island. directing
her to proceed as soon as possible to
La I.ibertad and remain until further
orders.
The Importance of this action will be
appreciated when it is understood that
the Marietta was being fitted for SER
vice i'll Chinese waters. The informa-
ton upon which the state department
acted came from John jenkins. consul
ut San Salvador. who cabled: 1.-The
condition of affairs in Salvador is
alarming: send warship."
The distance to La Libertad is about
$500 miles, and it will be covered in
two weeks. The instructions to Com
mander Symonds require him, upon
arrival at La I.ibertad. to communi-
cate with Mr.. Jenkins. and to take all
measures possible for the protection Of
American interests.
Mail advices from Salvador have in
Dictated that trouble was brewing.
The EZeta faction. which was ousted
in the revolution of two years ago, has
never rested. and repeatedly eNpedi-
lions have been alleged to be forming
in this country with view of pro-
ceeding to Salvador and wrestling the
administration from Gen. Gutierrez.
Gen. Gutierrez has faced considerable
grumbling among his political follow
ers. and it is said one potent cause of
dissatisfaction resulted from his ac-
ton in joining the Greater Republic
Of Central America. 1t is expected
that Honduras and Nicaragua will aid
President Gutierrez in return for SIM
llar services.

New York, Jan. LA correspondent
OF the Herald has returned to Ha-
vana after having visited the camp OF
Gen. Gomez. The correspondent asked
Gen. Gomez for his opinion as to
American Intervention and the annex
alton of Cuba to the United States. He
replied that intervention does not nec-
essarily imply annexation.
II would gladly accept the former as
I would accept aid from any quarter,
although believe If left alone we will
achieve our independence unaided. and
I am lOath that we should be robbed
of any share in the honor of the eX-
pulsion of the Spaniards.
LAS far as annexation Is concerned,
I cannot admit its possibility. To that
proposition l make the same reply as
1 do TO the autonomy plan-that our
object Is independence. We have
among us young men who have sac
rificed everything to this sacred
cause. For myself, am an old man,
who now has but one object in life,
and that is to see the flag of Cuba SUI
prcme from Cape Maysi to San An
tonic. We have already made fearful
sacrifices, and we stand ready to make
more in order to achieve this glorious
end. l know that the people of the
United States will never balk us in
this, our hour Of victory.
'"The idea of arbitrary annexation Of
this territory is inconsistent with the
principles on which the American re-
public is formed. If in the future, af-
ter Cuba has won her freedom, and it
is demonstrated that she is capable of
self-government, it became apparent
that her interests would be advanced
by incorporation into the United
States, would he the last to object
If NJ application should be made for
the honor of admission to the great
sisterhood of states. That is a very
different thing from annexation"
Asked what his views were on an
American protectorate over Cuba,
Gen. Gomez replied that he had no OBJ
lection. believing it would carry a
guarantee of peace ut home, with re-
spect Of all nations. and would per-
NIT Cuba to work out her destiny I'M
der the most favorable conditions. In
return he believes that Cuba should,
in her commerce. favor the United
States above all nations.
