CUBAN CONSPIRACY FOR INDIE
PENDENCE.

In q private letter received by the
New York Herald from distinguish
ed Cuban now resident Of the
United States, Ii a most sensational
statement about tho plans of the ir.
reconcilable Cuban leaders. The
writer is conservative, and Is In a pc.
sition to know what is going Oh at the
present in Cuba.
Tho information is as follows:
@The latest story from Cuba, which
1 have reason to believe, having been
told by prominent Cuban whose in
timacy with the Cuban leaders in
Havana lends authority to the state
mont, il that the former revolution
airy element has decided to make a
virtue Of necessity and gracefully, to
outside appearances, accept Ameri-
can intervention.
"At the end of two years, however,
if the Cuban independence is not
acknowledged and the government
turned over to the Cubans, the torch
is to be applied from one end of the
island to the other, which means that
all foreign investments will be de-
stroyed.
"When it ID considered that the
wealth Of Cuba depends on it's agri-
cultural development, chiefly cane
and tobacco, and that firebrand ma
iciously applied in dry cane field
would cause the destruction of thous
ands OF dollars of property in a single
night, the enormity Of the plot be-
comes apparent"

CAPTURING STURGEON.
Mounted Russian Cussacks Finh
Through the Ice OF swift
. Rivers.

To fish while mounted on the bacl1 of
a horse probably would be beyond the
capacity Of gentle Izaak Walton of de-
lightfnl memory, yet that is the way
sturgeon is captured in the frozen
rivers Of the Ural mountains, Russian
Cossacks fish in large bands, saysa for
eign paper. They gallop along until
they reach the point in the rivers where
the current has it's swiftest fight.
There they dismount and cut into the
ice until they have cleared small pool
OF water which extends across the rapid
current almost from one bank of the
river to the other. A net is then sunk
to the bottom Of the stream and
stretched across it at the open pool so
that not a single fish can swim beyond
