July l. 1879 p. m.-Deiayed in transmits
sion)--A Cuban messenger from the IN
surgents near Manzanilo. province of San
dago de Cuba. who landed near here to-
day from a sail boat, brought the intelli-
gence that the Spanish troops, numbering
about 5000 men. which left Manzauillo on
June %, to March to Santiago We're called
back by Gen. Pando. 1t appears that
when the army had reached the vicinity Of
Bayamo, Cen. Pando was not with the
troops as had been reported. He was and is
ia Havana
The relieving army. the Cuban says, was
not supplied with food and the roads are
almost impossible, and the artillery could
not be dragged along them. Thus getting

there appeared 20 be Impossible, hence the
recall of the troops.

Berlin, July 2.-On the best authority
the correspondent here of the Associated
Press is informed that Germany, France

1t is said these three Powers do not in

All the great Powers win be invited
to Join, including the United States and

will then demand a slice of the Philippine
Islands or other compensation in the far
east
The correspondent of the Associated

above facts from authentic sources.

BERMUDA WOMEN.
Peculiar Laws Which Apply to Them
as Property Holders.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
There are perhaps, larger number of
spinsters in Bermuda in proportion to the
population than in any other place on
this side of the Atlantic, and il is a curious
fact that this is the law of the land.
The semi-tropical climate of the islands
and their isolation have made of the inhab-
itants of English stock a quiet, almost
sluggish, folk of a simplicity nearly Ar
cadian. The women, especially, many of
whom live very narrow lives, never leav-
ing these islands, are remarkable for their
old-fashioned hospitality and a natural
ease of manner which seems to rise from
an entire faith in those with whom they
come in contact. Perhaps the fact that
il would be very difficult for a criminal to
escape from the islands may account for
ii, but, at any rate, crime Is very rare
there.
Bermuda women are excellent housewives
and bring up large families of children.
some of the most favored young folk being
sent to the United States for educational
advantages. In matters of etiquette they
are far more strict than Americans. AS
a rule, they are Well-to-do, and live COM
fortably while some of them possess am
pie means and enjoy much luxury. In
Detufuud, as lu England, property, eSpe-
cially real estate, remains in the same
family for long periods, and some of the
descendants of the first settlers stin pos
seSs lands which have never passed out
of their families. 1t is just this conserva-
tism about property which causes the SUI
perabundance of spinsters. No alien can
acquire a title to land in Bermuda, either
by purchase or Inheritance. This is chiefly
a precautionary measure against the
Portuguese, who flock to the country and
so In largely for onion growing. But the
law provides that If a woman marries a
foreigner she shall lose her landed proper
ty, and shall also become incapable of in
heriting any. This law is naturally not
popular with the women, who see their
brothers mate with Americans and other
aliens, and would fain have the same lib
erty. Occasionally Bermudan girls re-
nounce their birthrighis for loves sake,
but. as a rule, the charms of penniless
maidens are not sufficient for young men
TO desire them for wives, and thus many
girls are doomed TO single blessedness in
Bermuda simply by the law of the land.
