New York, January 10th. ~
formation has been received heI1
from Washington to the effect til
the opposition in Congress to Cub
reciprocity, or to granting to the
Cuban planters any bounty ol
preference of any kind is growing
stronger every day. Every North
American interest which would con-
flict with the Cuban program bss
been represented at Washington,
and efforts Of every kind are being
made to prevent tie passage OF any
resolution which will in any way
assist the Cubans.
When the result Of the Cuban
elections was made public it was
believed by the Administration that
this strong anti Cuban feeling could
he removed, but the recent action oi
many Cuban journals and many
leading citizens in declaring that the
election of Palma is against the vii!
of the people and was procured by
unfair means, has led to an in
crease Of the feeling against Cuba.
The general argument now is tha;
the Cuban people will not under
any circumstances keep their faith
in regard 10 the. .Platt amendments,
and that in this regard the United
States government had already done
too much for the Cuban people.
Many Representatives bave stated
with a great deal OF feeling that the
best thing to do with Cuba is to
let that island take care Of itself
az once, aud to treat il in the sams
way that all other Latin American
statss are being treated.
That the Attitude Of the Cuban
people Is being resented a. Wash
ington there can be no doubt. and
i Is also . certainty that the refusal

RIOTERS ovERAwED.
Presence of Large Numbers of Troops
at Brussels Maintains Tempo
rary Quiet.

Brussels, April 14.-The rioters have
been temporarily awed by the over
towering display of armed force. Up
to noon Saturday no further disturb
ance had occurred here. The number
of police, gendarmes and soldiers at
the disposal of the authorities appears
sufficient to cope with disturbances,
SO long as the troops remain loyal.
The strike continues to spread in the
central coal districts. Elsewhere the
socialist leaders are trying to keep the
men at work until Monday or Tuesday,
when they contemplate an important
movement.
Perhaps the most significant event
of Friday was the open rupture be-
tween the socialists and the liberal
faction, heretofore associated with the
former, with the object of forcing the
government to grant universal suf-
frage. This split notably strength
ems the governments hands in the
present crisis, as the coalition of the
moderate parties promises to last as
long as the incipient revolution con-
tinues.
In consequence of the receipt Of a
letter threatening to blow up with
dynamite the faience works at La
Louviere, unless work there is stopped,
the. manager has shut down the fac
tory and has ordered the 1900 en-
ployes, who include 500 women, to inn
mediately leave the premises.

The tension OF my nerves. as lay

presently, when had heard and seen
nothing for what seemed to me q
long time, I felt as II I was going
deaf and blind and insensible to all

and at last was fain to open and
shut my cramped hands to assure
myself that was awake and alive.
And at the same time shut my eyes
and opened them again two or three
times.
The silence grew insupportable. A
horror Of what might happen to me
if I got out from my hiding place
seized me and made me use every eff
fort to control the convulsive move
ment of my muscles.
AS said before. though I have
faults enough and to spare, extreme
cowardioe was not one of them. But
it was as much anxiety. to know who
my unwelcome visitor was and what
he wanted as fear of danger to my
self that kept me waiting and listen-
ing.
At last, however, the unbroken 81
lence, the suspense, became more
than could bear; and moved my
head cautiously forward, and put out
one hand to touch the thing which
had been thrown from the bed above
me into the floor by my mysterious
visitor.
Even as did so became aware
that the mass which had obscured
my view, and which had supposed
to be the pillow or the bolster, had
disappeared. And this fact, of which
I carefully assured myself before at.

skeptical as to what had seen and

MT. Mullion, she said, will you
please come and move my chair for me Z
I want IL put under the awning, and
near papa"
Half a dozen Of us were ready to do
her bidding, but she would only give
up her chair to Dick. / knew as well
as possible that pretty Jennie, who
chose to play sort of Providence to
the black-browed young man, had clev-
erly devised this errand to extricate
him from situation in which she in
stinctively felt that he was not ap-
pearing to advantage. And was an.
CRY with the girl, while I liked her
for it.
My anger caused me to make what
was rather an injudicious speech to q
middle-aged American, who was stand
ing near me-. Mr.. Coates was long,
thin, sallow New Highlander, who said
little, but looked shrewdly on the
world through long eyes that looked
like Sits in his face.
There's something wrong about
that chap, it seems to me, )" burst out
as Dick Mullion went away.
The American turned his head
slowly, and gazed after the broad fig
ure of the retreating Dick with
steady eyes.
Yes" drawled he at last. "There's
something so transparency wrong
about him. so openly, undeniably
wrong, that" and he turned the
Sits upon me with a peculiar twinkle
in them. "that you bet he's all
right"
did not agree with Mr.. Coates,
but I said nothing more.
Netley kept to his dcterminatio
not to use my cabin again, and was
very glad to go back to IL. The gem
eral opinion was so strong that Net
ley had been the victim of his own
imagination that felt very little
fear of any disturbance myself. It
was neter my habit to bolt the door,
and although was just sufficiently
affected by Netley's story to draw
the bolt for two successive nights
after his alleged adventure, on the
third I either forgot it or looked
upon the caution as unnecessary.
Anyhow the door was unbolted
when turned in that night, and I
went to sleep without, certainly, Civ
ing thought to Netley and his
story.
When, however. I woke up sudden
ly before daylight had begun to ap-
pear, and at once became aware that
some one was softly trying to open
the door, my thoughts flew back to
the adventure, and knew I was to
have one on my own account.
Now, am not coward, and at
once thought rather of finding out
who the would-be intruder was and
what he wanted than of summoning

some dread OF exposing myself to
the sort of contempt that Netley had
drawn down on himself by ringing for
help when no danger could be dis.
cerned. Anyhow, slipped out Of
bed, and got under my berth, and
then waited quietly to see whethex
anything happened. I had scarcely
done SO when my door opened. I
couldn't see it open, but I felt the
draught, and heard soft tread
across the floor Of the cabin.
| The steps came nearer and nearer
until I could have touched the fell
lows feet. Something was taken out
Of my bed and thrown on the floor,
blocking my view. strained my
ears, but heard nothing more.
