On the Outrage of Which NJ. Lnbori

Paris, Aug. 15.-The Paris papers
give expression as follows:
The Figaro says: In all the long
series of crimes on the pages of our
history this is the first time when as
sassination has struck down an advo-
cate. and that. too at the very hour
when preparing to plead in defense o..
his client, to establish truth and to
confound accusers.
The Journal Des Debats says: The
revolver shot is bound to be the end.
and one fine morning it will be closely
followed by the horrors of civil war"
The Liberte, which holds the gov
eminent responsible as the apostle
of the anarchy that has existed for the
last two years and that has sown
broadcast the seeds of civil war," says:
THE outrage is only an incident in the
era of catastrophes toward which the
country is rushing"
The Moniteur Universal attributes
the outrage TO the excitement caused
by the governments efforts to save
Dreyfus." and to the arbitrary acts
that have been committed in the abb
sence of the chamber of deputies.

customers. The senorita blows cloud
Of smoke from under the lace of her
fascinating, mysterious mantilla, white
uegresses walk along the streets puff
fing away at huge cigars. Children of
eight and ten may often be seen with
cigarettes in their mouths, and it is
no uncommon sight to see men and
women smoking in church.
The country houses around Santiago
are infested with mice and lizards.
The latter are very alert and active
and quite unlike the sluggish lizards
seen in northern climates. There is
curious kind of mouser whose presence
Is rather encouraged about Cuban
country houses. These mousers are
not CATS as one might suppose, but
large black snakes. AS they are quite
harmless, nobody thinks of being
afraid of them, and they come and go
as they please, unmolested.
All the young bloods in Santiago
wear white duck suits and straw hats,
and they may be seen lounging around
The city and the Club de San Carlos,
looking cool and comfortable, and
smoking, of course, for that goes with
out saying in Santiago. At the Club
lie San Carlos. which is the Union
League of Santiago, the Spanish Off
GERS from MORO Castle and the gilded
youths of the city make their idling
headquarters. 1t is pleasant place in
which to loaf, drink coling beverages,
smoke and gossip. The club house is
only one story high, like most of the
buildings in the city, and in front is
little garden with fountain and flow
ers.
Opposite the Club de San Carlos is
the Cafe Venus, where, an enthusiastic
traveller declares, as good a meal can

QUAINT OLD SANTIAGO
The Venerable city ON Which All Eyes
Were So Long Fixed,

The bottling up of Cervera's fleet in
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba is not
the only claim to distinction possessed
by that curious old city; for, as the in
habitants never fail to remind the
traveller, it has long been a disputed
fact whether Columbus landed first at
San Salvador or Santiago de Cuba.
However that may be, st. Jago, as the
Spanish call it, is far older than any
city in North America.
The peculiar narrow streets and the
facades of the houses remind one of
some of the old towns in Italy; but
there the resemblance ceases, for the
houses of Santiago are nearly all built
around a court. or patio, as they are in
most Spanish towns. With their high
barred windows and glaring plastered
walls, on the outside they look more
like prisons than like the American
idea of dwelling houses. But go inside
the patio and everything is different.
There are palms and shrubs and flow
ers, and in some OF the richer houses
even fountains. Me. Is are often served
in the patio in pleasant weather.
In Santiago as we'll as in other Gu
ban cities, the prorrietors of most of
the shops and warehouses live in the
same building in which their business
is conducted. The shops open about
nine o'clock in the morning and re-
main open till abort noon, when they
close up, and everybody goes to the
midday meal. After that every body
takes a nap in the heat of the day.
The shops open up again about two
o'clock in the afternoon and remain
open till half-past five or six. Go to
an office in Santiago at half-past eight
n the morning and nobody will be up
20 again at half-past twelve and every
body will be eating; go again at half
past one and everybody wiz, be asleep
In the evening the people sit around
and take life easy, and smoke, Of
course, for in Santiago everybody
smokes. men. women and children
Even the walters in the hotels and
cafes pull out cigarette and smoke
between the courses. The porters and
cabmen smoke at all times and sea-
sons. The stevedOres on the wharves
smoke at their work, and even the
clerks in the dry goods stores roll a
cigarette and take puff between two
