WE WANT PAY.

Holders Of Spanish bonds, for which
the customs revenue of Cuba has been
pledged, have recently put forth the
claim that if the United States inter-
venes and takes possession of the ISL
and, even temporarily, it will become
liable for the payment of the Spanish
bonds pledged against the revenues of
Cuba. The question has been much
discussed by the senate, and authori-
ties on international law have been
quoted. The consensus of opinion by
senators, although not a unanimous
opinion-was that no act of interven-
ton could make us liable for Spanish
bonds, nor could federal recognition
oil the Cuban republic in any way af-
feet the relations of Spain and her
bondholders. The bonds might be
given by mutual consent an interna-
tonal standing and recognition, but
not as a consequence of our interfer-
ence. We are too deep in the affair
now to settle the matter on principles
of international law, and the question
is one of those that will have to be
answered in the future.

Rico. The island Of st. Thomas, to the
eastward of Porto Rico. has one OF the
finest harbors in the Caribbean seas.
The island belongs to Denmark, which
makes it neutral. st. Thomas IS 100
miles distant from st. Johns, Porto
Rico, matter of eight hours sailing.
The cable communications in this
neutral port would afford a means Of
conveying intelligence to ships; ia
naica, belonging to Great Britain, is
100 miles south of Santiago de Cuba
The port of Kingston has a good har-
Dor, and telegraph cable connection
with Colon, which brings 1t in direct
connection with us via the Western
Union Central American cables from
Galveston. It is plain that If the
choice of the scene of operations is to

fuses to meet US in those waters there

lowed up" said Henderson, land to-
morrow morning we'll consult the chief
OF police"
Bright and early next morning (for
we got but little sleep that night we
repaired to the chief Of police, and to
him l told my tale, Henderson acting
as interpreter.
The chief was very much surprised
and pleased by my information, and
after cautloning us to keep silent, dis
missed us by saying "we'd hear from
him in few days"
Two days later the foreign element
of the city was thrilled by another afro
clous murder. This time 1t was rich
young Englishman, named Burton, who
had come down from Lima to visit
some friends, and who, after spending
the evening with them, left about IL
o'clock for his hotel. which was only
two blocks away. Next morning his
body, robbed of all his valuables and
papers, was found, floating in the bay,
with a gaping dagger wound in the
back.
Burton's friends, who were rich and
influential, backed by the British Con-
sui. made n vigorous attack upon the
supine methods Of the police, and at
last aroused the authorities to some
thing like activity. Following up the
clew received from me, the "Jefe" took
personal interest in the matter, and,
within a few days, succeeded in cap
turing the gang, which consisted of five
persons-the girl, who was used as a
decoy-and four men. 1t was estimated
that more than two score foreigners
had been murdered by this gang during
the eighteen months of their sinister
operations. At the trial Burton's wal
let and passport, found in the robbers
rendezvous, convicted the men, and nv
Identification of the girl completed the
case. The men were sentenced, and,
according to the methods of that coun-
try, were shot three days after the
trial. The girl, owing to her youth and
beauty, was sent to finish her days in
the penal colony at San Carlos.
The years have rolled away since
then-years of danger and adventure.
Many time during the war of the re-
bellion have l looked death in the face,
and yet my blood thrills when think
of that nights adventure in Chilli
Philadelphia Times.

she fervently murmured her thanks as
she guided me up the dark and narrow
street. Here and there some building

moon, and among its grim shadows l

reached the top of the plateau, which
overlooked the town, and my guide
gracefully waved her hand toward a
light, like star in the distance, and
murmured:

mine, advanced steadily toward the
light. Everything was as still as the
dead and damp and chilly mist pene-
trated my very marrow.
As the moon shone out In radiant
beauty, my blood for moment seemed
to freeze in my veins, for there, before
me, cleaning brightly in the moonlight,
and winding like serpent among the
doddering crosses and moulderinS
graves of the Pantheon, was the path
that led to our destination.
The low-lying wall of the Pantheon
lay directly in front Of me, and my
guide quickly tripped up the steps
which led over it, beckOning for me to
follow. Though loath to go further.
