Havana, July 30.--A telegram received at 3
o'clock tonight by Senior zero, Secretary of the
Interior. from Lieutenant Gonzales, who has
charge of the Rural Guard. says there is no
trace of any rebels, and that the story of an
insurrection is recognized utterly foundation
less Other reports received here said that the
sixty men who were reported to be insurrection-
lists were laborers employed by General Lacret
to work the timber lands along the Cauto River.
They may not have received pay, and so, quit
ting work, they may have crossed the river
and started toward Holguin. Civil Governor
Nunez of Havana is thoroughly acquainted
with the situation. ard he believes that the men
seen recently were timber cutters in the Cauto
Valley.
Havana, July 30-An official dispatch from
Bayamo. received at the palace here at 1880
p. m. tonight, says that no armed party OF
sixty men has been seen between Cauto and
Holguin, as alleged. Two men who had sep
arated from the original Pupu party before
these were captured were seen who had been
armed by civilians and who had intimidated
these people by claiming they had sixty more
men encamped near the road.

WouLa Succeed Leo.

Rome, July 3O.-People are now recaliihs
prophecy which at the time it was MADE pro-
duced considerable talk among the superstitious-
At one time it was held to be such good ihul-
cation of who would be the next Pope that sew
eral large bets were made on the strength OF
it's prediction. Many years ago the late Cardinal
Parocchi. who was not even then bishop met
an old woman in the country. She looked ike
a witch. and. planting herself before Parocchi'
she said:
THE Bishop of Santa Ruina will be the next
Pope"
The woman refused to say more Paroechi re-
peated the story, which gained added circulation
when he was appointed to that see, and before
his death he was considered to be the most
likely successor TO Pope Leo.
When Parocchi was dying ne repeated the
story of the old woman's prophecy. The IA
nous bishopric of Santa Rufina was afterWaro
given to Cardinal Serafno Vannutell. ana now
people are asking themselves. will the prophecy
come true after all?

English Public Schools.
. rom the London Spectator.

rom the London spectator
If we remember rightly 1t was Marcus
Aurelius who thanked heaven that he was
never sent to public school. The words
are taken out of their context, but they
would seem to represent fairly accurately
the spirit of good many Of the contribu-
tors of letters written to the newspapers
on the subject of English public schools
during the last few weeks. The public schools
have been fiercely attacked for an alleged
inefficiency. The masters have been told
that they cannot teach, or that they teach
useless subjects. or that they are obstinate
and refuse to make necessary changes, and
to move, in short. with the times. Perhaps
the chief complaint has been that far too
much time is spent on Latin and Greek,
to the exclusion of the teaching of French
and German. That is the perpetual COM
plant of the unitarian. who wishes to see
immediate value for money paid, and who
will not listen to the schoolmasters reply
that his object is to teach boys how to
learn: that he tries to send his pupils out
into the world, not. as it were, equipped
with a bundle of goods for immediate sale.
but rather endowed with an ability to buy
and sell wisely. The schoolmaSter's conten-
ton, unfortunately for him. admits of no
immediate proof or disproof; 1t can be JUS
titled or the reverse only by the records,
the work of succeeding generations of pub
lie school boys. 1t is at best a contention
deserving examination rather than angry
abuse.
