(For The News and Observer
Queen of the Antilles.
Land of the Caribbees.
War-ravaged isle,
Thy cries have reached our shore,
Waited the deep seas DER,
From land all drenched with gore
A demons spoil!
Atlantic's rolling flood
Is mingled with their blood;
Thy breasts have nursed.
While high above the wave,
Where wild tornadoes rave,
Fell foes have slain the brave
Thy foes accursed!
Thy mothers, daughters. wives,
Have yielded up their lives
To glut the rage
OF Spanish hosts of Spain,
Whose sordid greed OF gain
First babe them tempt the main
In other age.
But fate far worse than death,
Which can but stop the breath,
Hath been their part;
Dishonor never dies,
Though still to heaven the cries
OF wife and maiden rise,
From broken heart!
Infant and hoary head
Are numbered with the dead,
Beneath thy sod;
O land of fruit and flowers!
Why is thine evil hour?
f,oo11,N,s.
O Freedoms God!
Let every coral reef
Behold her freedoms chief,
10 lead the brave,
Till Cuba's sons be free.
In blood bought liberty,
Or sleep all peacefully
In soldiers grave!
Let freedoms trumpet tones
Alright the tyrant thrones.
Where despots reign,
Till men of Sod-like soul
Hold in benign control
The world, from pole to pole.
Made free again!
Columbia, awake!
From gulf 10 mountain lake
Thy sons desire
To see thee in thy might
Assert thy god-given right,
Albeit with banner bright,
And wall of fire.
Be what thou shOuldst be.
The champion of the free,
Who dare the blow:
Then might'st thou hold thine own;
Reaping what thou hast sown,
Freedom from every throne,
And fear no foe.

CHINESE ARE INDIGNANT.
viii Offer Bail for Their Countrymen
in Future.

Chinese merchants held an indigna-
ton meeting at the rooms of the
United Society yesterday afternoon to
discuss the action of Agent Brown in
refusing a landing to Chinese who had
received permits to return to Hawaii
from the Republic prior to anneNa-
ton. There were some strong words
used, the whole assembly seeming to
be thoroughly aroused. 1t was stated
in the meeting that even the Consul
had been refused admission to the
China yesterday to talk to the men
on her.
The outcome of the conference was
decision to offer to Agent Brown,
upon the arrival of other immigrants
from the Orient, bail in the sum of
5000 for each man pending the hear
ing of habeas corpus proceedings in
the supreme court. This tender will
probably be made through II. Hack
field & Co., agents for the Oriental
steamers

REGULARS CO TO MANILA
SIN REGIMENTS ARE ALREADY
DESIGNATED.
Volunteers win be Brought Back in
the Order in Which They Reached
the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, December 12.-The
volunteers at Manila are to be relieved
as fast as they can be by regular
troops. The volunteers will come back
in the order in which they were sent.
Six regiments have already been des-
ignated to go.
The Fourth and Seventeenth infan-
try will sail from New York via the
Suez canal about January 5th, and the
other regiments assigned to the Phil
ippines. the Third, Twelfth, Twenti-
eth and Twenty-second, will sail from
San Francisco about the same time.
This will mean that the volunteers
among the first of whom to return to
this country will be the First Califor-
MIA. will not reach San Francisco I'M
til about the last of April. Every
mail brings applications to return
from some member of the Coast regi-
ments, and the reason which is alleg-
ed is the unhealthfulness of the Is
| lands. The Mobile and Mohawk are
being prepared for the trip through
the Suez canal. and will be used to
bring the volunteers back to San Fran
cisco.
1t may be that the two regiments
still held in reserve, the Twenty
! fourth and Twenty-ifth infantry, will
join the others before they sail. All
these regiments were selected i'm the
reverse ratio to the loss sustained by
them in the Cuban campaign.

UNCLE R R REMARKS.
The Old Man Was Not to BE Argued
Out of an Opinion of Long
Standing.

Uncle Jerry lives several counties
away from the state metropolis, but
occasionally comes down TO visit his
more prosperous brother, who likes to
joke Jerry because he had always OPP
posed the city in pursuit of fortune.
But Uncle Jerry is a good deal of a talk
er himself. and when his dander is up
can say pointed things about as fast
as a rapidefiring gun can throw shot

the family, in a self-satisied way, 81

in the country till I was a hundred and
never had such a fine residence and
such horses and carriages as l have
here. Besides that, my bank account
is swelling all the time"
SOS your head" snapped Uncle
Jerry, who hates a~ristocratic preten-
sions worse than he does potato bugs.
After an evening spread in which
the chatting dish played a conspicuous
part. the Detroit brother took another
occasion TO air himself, his chief pur-
pose TO Josh" his rural brother.

Uncle Jerry swallowed a couple OF
times so as to steady his voice, and then
said: "Bill, don't make a chatterin'
idiot outen yourself. We oontiner to
cat in the kitchen, the back stoop or the
yard, just as we like, but we never do

~0UICKNEss OF SENSATION.
Hearing with one Ear Is said TO be
Sharper Than with Two
other Functions.

Prof. Richet says that IL takes a
man about o~ne-eleventh of a second
10 think out each note Of a musical
scale. He explains the practice that
people will often follow of bending
their heads in order to catch minute
sounds. by the fact that the smallest
intervals of sound can be made better
distinguished with one ear than with
both. remarks the New York Evening
Journal.
Thus the separateness Of the clicks
of a revolving toothed wheel were
noted by one observer when they did
not exceed 60 to the second. but using
both ears he could not distinguish
them when they occurred oftener than
Is times a second.
Among the various ways in which
Prof. Richet tried 10 arrive at conclu-
sions as to the amount of time neces-
sary was the touching of the skin re-
peatedly with light blows from 5 small
hammer. The fact that the blows are
separate and not continuous pressure
can be distinguished when they fol-
low one another as frequently as 1000
a secord.
The sharp sound of the electric
spark from an induction coil was dis
tiuguished with one FAR. when the rate
was as high as 500 to the second.
The sight is much less keen. When
revolving at a speed no faster than p
lines a second. a disk. half white and
half black. win appear gray.
We also hear more rapidly than we
ran count. II a clock-clicking move
ment runs more quickly than ten to
the second we can count four clicks.
while with 20 to the second we can
count only two of them.
