THE DIVIDING FENCE.

there are so many children, both boys and
girls, on the street that it might be sup
posed that she would have accustomed her
self to them by this time.
There are three boys in the family rent
ing Mrs. Schutze's second floor, among
them the redoubtable Brick Turpie, who i.
known in Arbor street as tough KID,
and there are five or six more next door,
where the Richers live. Taking into ac-
count the natural perversty of al boys and
the proximity of these two sets, it is no
wonder that Mrs. Schutze is annoyed at
times.
The principal cause of Mrs. Schuitzos
complaint is that the boys will not keep
out Of her yard. Her house is the last of the
row and next to the alley, from which it
is divided by an enticingy high board
fence. When the Ricner boys come over to
visit the Turpies they invariably come over
this fence, although the gate is wide enough
to admit all of them abreast. The on y
time they use the gate is when Mrs. Schultze
makes a sudden sally from her back door
armed with a broom. There is nothing
particularly attractive in the yard. An Old
walnut bedstead, beached Ly the sun and
rain of two or three years, leans against the
fence, protecting a litter of broken flower
pots, one or two Of which contain earth
and withered skeletons of plants. There
are two cIothesine posts rugged to the
Louise with many-spliccd cords, and board
walk leading down to the street, whlch wal.
one must know very well to tread safely
after dark. The ducks are kept in sagging

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.--Captain c. F..
Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cutter serv-
ice has made report to Secretary Gage as
to the necessity of establishing a revenue
cutter service in Porto Rico for the pro-
lection of the customs and navigation laws
OF the United States. Captain Shoemaker
recommends that two revenue cutters be
built for the island costing from 100000 to
$4,000 each, and that one be stationed at
San Juan and the other at Ponce. He says
that these vessels, owing to peculiar con-
ditions, should be constructed on slightly
different lines from those now in the serv-
ice, and he also recommends that coaling
station be established at Cuanica.
Captain Shoemaker says the shores of the
island are indented with numerous bays,
shallow harbors and inlets. and in this re-
spect are peculiarly adapted to Smuggling
operations. During his recent trip the cap
tain visited Santiago and other Cuban ports,
and says that in his judgment several cut
ters will be required to enforce the laws
against smuggling in Cuba.

The change Of flags is likened in these hand
bills to a wedding, regarding which the
kinspeople and friends of the bride are told
that the marriage viii take place tonight,
but that they can celebrate the event a
month hence.
The city is quiet tonight. as it has been
for Two days. Encounters of individuals in
heated political discussions, such as occur
in an American city Of 100000 inhabitants.
are not considered indicative of a riotous
mood. Most of the Cubans are grieved and
distrustful regarding the ultimate purposes
of the United States rather than angered.
Colonel Bacallao, chief of staff of Gen.
Ruis Rivera, who has been confined for
long time, was released to-day. He looks
comely and in good health. He says that
he has been well treated recently, but that
he had a terrible time during his imprison-
ment in the Cabanas fortress, where he was
confined in a wet nasty cell. He will re-
quest the American authorities to try him
upon the charge of murder, in order to clear
his name. He was released upon his own
recognizance.

One Of the most difficult questions to be

selling the people to accept the situation, and
by their conduct to show their ability to in

marked influence. The committee did not
agree upon this report until after an all
night discussion, but the radicals finally
yielded. At first. in the insurgent camps,
outside of the city, much hot talk was in
dulged in by the younger officers, but they
cooled off. The Cuban commanders now de-
clare that there viii be no trouble from in
surgents trying to enter Havana, and they
seem able to keep their promise. The feel
ing of disappointment among the Cubans is
undeniable but they are controlling them
selves better than was expected. The sug-
gestion that the celebration ehould be held
in February, on the fourth anniversary OF
the beginning of the revolution, has been
accepted as a salve for present soreness,

tatcrs or even as guests of the United States
authorities, but they insist that the sur
render shall be made Jointly to General
Brooke and General Gomez and demand
an equal share in the authority as we'll as
the honor. From. their point of view they
make a strong argument. They claim that
they began the war and carried it on through
great privation and hardships, and that the
United States stepped in at the l.st moment
and snatched victory and authority from
them, and now proposes to prevent them
from enjoying the results Of their long and
fearful struggle.
General Gomez insists on his right to stand
on an equality with General Brooke and TO
lead the insurgent army ito Havana side by
side with the troops of the United States He
has sent word that he will not come unless
his soldiers can come with him. This cannot
be permitted for many reasons. chief of
which Is the discovery of an unquestionab BILE
purpose on the part of the Cubans to sack
the city Of Havana and punish the Spaniards
and the native Cubans who have been loyal
to the Spanish government. This,is also the
reason why the President has forbidden a
public demonstration or any ceremonies that
will attract a crowd or excite the people on
that day.
The evacuation commissioners have had
detectives among the insurgent leaders ever
since the latter have been allowed TO enter
;he city of Havana, and are familiar with
their designs. 1t is known that certain prom
'nent Spaniards and native Cubans have been
marked for death and their property for
destruction, and it would be a national
calamity if the conspirators were allowed
to carry out their plans. The very presence
of General Gomez in Havana would create
intense excitement, and it would be impossi-

The President and the authorities at Wash

suflcient military force to resist any concert

OF a citizen toward whom they may feel the
spirit of revenge. The police force is de-
moralized, and cut-throats, robbers. despera-
