Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 2-Five men
are dead and ten wounded as the re-
suit Of a fight between gendarmes and
disappointed Cuban soldiers at Cuevi-
Stas, three miles from Santiago, where
the payment Of the Cuban troops is pro-
crossing. Five thousand Cubans had
gathered there to receive payment and
after three days only $50 had been paid.
Thousands who had been disappointed
at other points had come to Cuevitas. A
rumor circulated that the paymasters
would leave Tuesday alarmed the men
who had not been paid. They began to
collect In groups and finally their
threats became serious.

Director of California Asylum.
San Francisco, Aug. 24.-The state
board of lunacy commissioners met in
this city yesterday to hear the report of
Governor Gage on the result of the in
vestigations of the board into the con-
ditions existing at the Agnew asylum
for the insane. situated near San Jose,
in Santa Clara county. Governor Gage's
report is doubtless one of the most
startling papers of its kind ever pre-
scented to similar board for it's con-
sideratlon. 1t is based principally on
the career of DIR. F. NJ. Sponagle, medi-
cal director of the asylum, previous to
his installa ton as such. AS result of
the investigation DIR. Sponagle and two
of his assistants-Drs. Stocking and
ICristal-have been summarily removed
the assistants not being charged with
anything more serious than incompe-
tency. DIR. j. III. Crane, of Santa Ana
Cal, physician of six years ex-
perience in eastern asylums, was ap-
pointed to succeed Sponagle.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Next to the
discussion of the plans for the coming

excites SO much interest in Washington

points to the hottest fight that state has

point of plunging in several times but
has restrained himself and his purpose

when his name first began to be men

more than three months ago. The demo-
Gratis are doing their best to keep him
out of the race, and the republicans,
while processing to be more or less in

rom the new OTk sun.
Boston, July 26.-In an interview on the
late Col. Ingersoll the Rev Minot ]. Saw
age of New York, who is spending the
summer near Boston, said:
Il do not think that it is fair to refer
to him as either an atheist or an unbe-
lever In the future life. My point is that
he was not dogmatic in those directions.
He said: 4 do not know, and the God
he did not believe in was the God Of popu-
lar creeds. Ingersoll did denounce and
deny the popular creeds, feeling sure that
he did know that they were not true. He
said in some of his addresses on funeral
occasions that he did not feel sure that
there was no other life. He simply was
not satisfied with any evidence that had
ever been presented and he did not be-
leve there was any such kind OF God as
represented in the popular creeds. He
found 1t impossible to worship or believe
in any such conceptions.
Let me say here ! think his position
was completely justified in its antagon-
ism to popular creeds. II was a natural
reaction from the old Presbyterian con-
fession of faith, and his criticisms, for
example would not touch al all my opin-
ions They would not hit or hurt the
views of a liberal, thestic eVolutionist,
but were perfectly valid. in my iudg-
ment, as against the old-hme CalVinistic
creeds The Presbyterian confession Of
faith teaches the damnatiOn OF non-elect
infants, and the Episcopal prayer book
teaches clearly. by implication the dam
nation Of unbaptized infants As against
the kind Of God who is represented in
such creeds, IngersoiPs position is unas-
sailable, and l will say frankly II ! had
my choice between the agnosticisn OF
Ingersoll and belief in any Of the old
Ca1viuistic creeds | would side with In
gersoll every time.
Il would a great deal rather die and
go to dust and that be the end of me. than
to take any heaven that the old creeds
offer me at the price of an endless hell
for the meanest man that ever lived"
