NEGROES BARRED.
They Are Refused Admission In First
 Cuban Cavalry.

New York, August 26.-That ne groes are barred from enlistment in the First Cuban Artillery is stated by the Tribune correspondent at Havana. One hundred and fifty Cubans will be enlisted. All must be 21 years of age or more and white. Negroes will not be received as candidates for enlist ment. Enlistment will be made simi- larly as in the United States, and will be for term of two years.
 One of the first questions to arise concerning the enlistment is as to who are "Cubans" within the terms of the order In the absence of General Wood Acting Military Governor Scott explained that in order to be eligible the candidate must be a Cuban citizen by birth or adoption" And now there seems to be some doubt as to how Gu pan citizenship Is fixed until the new constitution goes into effect.

THE QUEEN OF .vALoR.
Daring Feat of a Young Spanish Woman in the Bull Ring.

Paris Correspondent Baltimore American. A few weeks there appeared some allur- ing advertisements which were especially attractive to those Parisians who love excitement, and who had their appetite for such things tickled by the races of the Rue Pergoles. The attraction this time was a woman, Donna Tancreda, who, made up to resemble a statue, was to await motionless in the arena, the as- sault of the bull, and, to conquer it by her immobility. At the last moment this performance, which was to have taken place at Enghion, was forbidden. It did, however, take place in Roubaix. Here Is an account of what happened:
 At signal given from the president, the doors of the arena opened and a mag nificent carriage appeared, all draped in red velvet fringed with gold. In this carriage sat Senorita Mercedes del Barte, alias Donna Tancreda.
 ''The Queen of Valor'' is dressed com pletely in white Her face and her hair are powdered. The carriage stops just In front of the presiding party, and she gets out smiling and lowing, and throws off her mantle, talking with the ushers while the attendants arrange In the middle of the arena a pedestal of wood about two feet high. When all Is ready the impress sario addresses the public, and begs them
 
 ing the performances this Is indispensa- ble. Then Donna Tancreda mounts the pedestal, helped by the metadors. She crosses her arms and faces the door from which the bull will emerge. The woman looks exactly like a marble statue.
 The arena is empty. All the ushers have disappeared behind the barriers and shell ters. The deepest silence reigns in the vast amphitheater. Half a minute passes thus. Then the door opens, and one sees in the shadow the enormous head of the bull Gitano. The spectators hardly breathe. Many ofathe women cover their eyes with their hands. It is a terrible moment. The bull .is ,oa- superb animal, with a powerful neck, and long, straight horns He raises his head, looks around, and at once bounds upon the white statue.
 It is with the greatest difficulty that one can restrain cry of horror, ones sensations are too painful, and a long endurance of such emotion would be un- bearable. Donna Tancreda is as rigid as marble. The least movement would be fatal to her.
 The bull starts back looks at his strange adversary, and then with a terri ble bound, rushes up to the pedestal Anxiety Is at its height. But once more the bull stops short without striking He draws back a few feet, and, taking advantage of this Donna Tancreda jumps down and rushes behind screen, while the ushers draw off the bull The people breathe again. A long sigh escapes from all, and then thunders of applause are heard, and "the Queen of Valor" gets a tremendous ovation.
 Donna Tancreda, who was born in Par is, has appeared with success at Barce- Iona, Valencia, Castle, Madrid Seville. and for the first time France at Roubaix
