Villages Plundered and the Inhabitants
Robbed—A Private Letter Furnishes an
Account of the Rebellion Heretofore Un
published—-The True State of Affairs on
the Island.
KEY WEST, April 4.—Advices from trustworthy source iu Havana have been received here. They show that it is definitely known iu Havana that over 5,000 fully annod rebels are in the field. The rebel Sonera]. Guillevmon, who was aimnunred to be dead by the Spanish authorities, is alive, but is extremely side, lie is sulvly hidden iu tlio western part of the island.
The iusuryenrs following the leadership uf jSIa.-.-eo, Habit, Atiro, Sartorio and :v[aihn a avi.i dashing al.f»nt- detached bands, pursuing a guerilla warfare. At Yavenii one of these bands swooped down on the village and plnniL'-red t-iie residents of N-.LOO and a quaiUiryof jewelry, geriing av.'r.y unathi'J.. Tia'ii they proceodi-d to Damanian.

They profess yet to believe that the patrol of the coast prevented him from landing, and that he was compelled to go ashore

one of
the Bahama islands. The auth.iriiies in the Matan/.as district, which is but a short distance to the eastward of Havana, have captured on a cattle ranch a number of rifles and machettes, 2,000 cartridges and 200 revolvers.
TRUE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
A Private Letter Furnishes Details Heretofore Unpublished. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 4.—A spe
cial to the Florida Citizen from Tampa says: The following letter litis been received by a prominent Cuban here from a friend in central Cuba: "It is the object of this letter to give you some account of matters around here. The autonomists here are very much afraid, but bye and bye they will take tho pr iper way, and it will not be before they get into the rebellion.
The reformists are quite disappointed with affairs, but are waiting for Martinez Campos. They are preparing for the election of a deputation unique. The government is disposed to give them all they want, but the country does not want that. The conservative party, it is said, wants the annexation of Cuba to the United (States. This is the last account. "At Santiago there are 10,000
11,• 11
with the insurgents. They light tho Spanish troops every day iu engagements of two, throe and four hours' liriug. A great number o!:' the Spanish ti'oupshave come over to the Cubans and besides that they may go on in this way for Spain has no money to pay the army and necessity will oblige them to desert the Spanish flag. At tho very moment that I write this, news has reached me that a large party is under arms at Jagtiey Grande and this, as you know, is iu the province of ALutau^as, It is ihit sirangi! that- after this will follow so) i(! new uprisings, for there is gr.-at excitement all over flie country. The American fleet is around this shore and all the Spanish men-of-war are at, port on account of the panic that has already taken possession of them. But this is not enough, it thinks the Americans must send some more vessels here to give .more protection to Cubans who are Ameiiean eili/.ens. "The people here arc ready for the contest. All we want from you is to send arms, ammunition and plenty of powder, if there are some men wanting to come hero to help us, it is necessary that all be iu accord. The mail now is opened by the Spanish authorities so that you must be careful when you write to me. The arrival of Maximo Gomez is awaited with great anxiety. Do not answer to my name, and as you can write to me in Greek, it seems better to do so. You know why I tell yon this."
As a postscript there is added that for $(0,000 the writer can buy 10,000 small Remington rifles. It seems that these were purchased some time since by a wealthy Spaniard from some European army from which they were discarded at an exceedingly low rate, and now he is offering them to the insurgents.
The following news comes from Santiago: "The steamship Julia has brought 51,000 uniforms from Spain with which th(! Spanish are being equipped. General Lachambre will go out with the uniformed troops, which is very necessary, for the scant troops at the command of Generals Garrich, Santocildes and Zbikouski have their hands full maintaining their positions at ManzanillO, Buire and Bayamo. "Count Pochi, a nephew of Pope Leo XIII, residing in Santiugo, missed his linest steed and stabloman from his stables. Some days later the liorse was returned by an insurgent chief, who stated that the horse was not good for the rebellion, but .that the servant was just the man for a rifle and maohette."
La Union Constitionale, a Spanish oflioial organ of March 30, says: "As everybody will see, we are receiving from Madrid the reports regarding the troubles here in Cuba. It is strange such news should not lie given here before it over saw the ocean twice. It would greatly facilitate the publication of official news which can not be excluded from the knowledge of the government which must know the truth. Every occurrence of the insurrection is kept away from us, and when the news at hist arrives, it occasions more alarm 011 account of our total ignorance of affairs. We do not mean to reflect on the government
011
account of this roverse,
on the contrary we think it right where it answers the prudent patriotic ideas aud for this reason wre have concurred in it, even submitting of our own accord our work to the censorship of the authorities in the shape of the first letter from our correspondents iu the eastern department."
AN OHIO RIVER DISASTER.
The Iron Queen Destroyed by Fire Near Antiquity. POMEROY, O., April 4.—The
Tron
Queen, the finest stern wheel passenger and freight steamer running on the Ohio river, was burned to the water's edge at 8 a. m. AVednesday at Antiquity, O.
The stern of the hull is lying in 30 feet of water, with the bow against the bank. Only a few pieces of burned wreckage shows above water. The hull was not scuttled, and burned to the water's edge before she sank, consuming much of the valuable freight below decks. One hundred barrels of whisky, oO barrels of lard and 140 tons of pig iron was in the hold, besides other articles.
The disaster was caused by a deckhand knocking down a large brass lamp on the after deck as he was about to throw down a bunch of hoop-poles. It was rite only lamp burning on the boat ut tile time, the electric lights having been turned out. The burning oil fell among a lot of hou.-ehold goods. The hose was turned
011
in less than a min-
tire but served only to spread the lire more rapidly. The flames leaped to tho cabin floor, communicating at once to tho engineroom and (0 tons of straw forward. The cabin was consumed in less than 10 minutes.
All rbe passengers and crew rushed forward to the head of the boat, which was lying close to tlie bank. Mrs. Mattie Malloy, colored, first chambermaid, from Cincinnati, rushed back to get some clothing. The flames had enwrapped the cabin before she could get back, and siie attempted to climb down a stationary stancheon 011 the shore side near the wheel. In doing so she fell into tlie river and was drowned 40 feet from shore. The body has not been recovered. It is being diligently searched for by the officers, with little hopes of recovery, as the water is very deep at this point. It is reasonably certain that this is the only life lost.
Mate Shriver and Second Mate Hod Knowles had narrow escapes. The officers lost all their clothing except what they had on. The farmers in the locality took cure of tho crew and passengers until they could be sent" away by rail. Captain Calhoon and his chief officers will remain 011 the ground a few days. This is Captain Calhoon's first disaster in his long experience as a steamboatmuu in 4V, years. Mate Knowles had never before lost a life or hiid a boat burned.
The total loss is estimated at $100,000. The insurance is placed with Pittsburg companies. The Queen was 2 years old in March.
Mrs. Gertrude Green, wife of W. S. Green of Pittsburg, had $1,80 worth of furniture destroyed. She had shipped it from Cincinnati.

Dismissed From the Stock Fxeluuige liecause of Gross Fraud. NEW YORK, April 4.—The board of directors of the New York Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange, at a special meeting ordered the expulsion of Edward Morton, the head of the firm of Edward Morton & Company, bankers and brokers. The charges which caused Mr. Morton's expulsion were kept secret, but tho cause was announced as obvious fraud.
Mr. Morton, up to a few weeks ago, had a branch store iu Boston, and it was because of dealings of the branch house wilh 2sew England customers that tho charges were brought. It is understood that a large number of persons who intrusted sums of money to the Boston branch to be invested stocks, allege that Morton appropriated Lho money lus own use.

PEARCE AND PLENTY
WHERE THE TOILERS AND THE MOILERS EAT IN LONDON.
13art Kennedy Describes a Restaurant
Where a Meal Can He Had For 6 Cents.
The liritisli Workingman at Close Range,
A Place Where All Are Suspected.
I Special Correspondence.
LONDON, March 25.—Pearco's ivstaurant stands 011 the corner of Waterloo road anil New Cut, in tho parish 01 Lam\ieth. It is patronized solely by the very poor, for this is the southeast part of this mighty London and is lived in by scarcely any one save mechanics, laborers and others whose lot it is to work tho life out to keep the life in.
To tho right as you go into tho restaurant, is a great counter, behind which the cooking is done and the orders attended to. (lirls do the cooking, and two frowsy looking boys a.-t as waiters. The tables at which the people sit and eat have marble tops, the reason of which, I suppose, is because they are easy to clean. They are set in rows through high wooden stalls.
A a I
I lord "you can get things very cheap." For'' a penny you can get a thick slice of bread and flutter and a cup of c.if'i'oe or tea or cocoa. For threepence you can got a rasher of bacon and an egg. For a penny you will gel* a grilled boring, for halfpence a grilled haddock. A piece of currant oako is a halfpenny. Yorkshire pudding is a penny. A plate of roast beef and potatoes
is foiirpence. And so it goes. Sixpence will get you all you wish to eat, Tho quality is not tiie best in tho world, but to the people that come here quantity is the thing. I Hanging abovo the main door is tho sign, --Pearca and Plenty." It is a bad pun, to bo sure, but to tho heart of tho
English from high to low tlie pun is very dear. The point is 011 tho face of it, so to speak, and necessarily doesn't tako long to iind out.
Little school lads como hero at noon and get ii halfpenny cup of tea or coffeo or cocoa, as tho caso may be, to drink along with their lunch. Now and then two of them will share a single cup together, each drinking from tho saucer in turn. They rango from 5 to 10 years old, and some of their beads hardly reach to tho top of tho counter when they aro giving their orders. Their lunch, which usually consists of a couple of slices of bread and butter, is given them by their mothers in the morning before they leave for school. This is wrapped up in paper and stowed away in the biggest jacket pocket along with marbles, string, a peg top and other treasures. They aro interesting little fellows, and it is a pleasure to study them. You should havo soon tho eyes of 0110 of them open with delight yesterday when I bought him a big pieco of currant cake, lie told mo all about himself in three minutes between bites.
Tho men and big boys that come here at noon are nearly all covered with the grime and blackness of tho neighboring work-

shops. Like tho school lads, some of them bring along their own lunches. All comers havo the privilege of doing this if they give an order at the counter, however small.
A Iead!y Monotony.
They aro a strange, haggard looking people, these London toilers. Tho wear and tear of lifo in this city of cities show in their faces. They havo that peculiar eager look which belongs to certain habitual dwellers in all great cities—that look which presages tho horror of revolution.
In the restaurant they talk over tho affairs of tho workshop and its relation to themselves—what they aro doing, how they .are doing it, how much a week thoy get and so oil. If you say a word to them of America, however, thoy listen eagerly. They look upon it as a desirablo land for the workingman, and thoy long to go to it. I Iind that tho fact of their hearing bad roports about it now and then doesn't bother them at all. I guess tho real cause of tlio wish to loavo their own country is the deadly monotony of thoir lives and tho nomadio instinct which is moro or loss in every man.
They are not so big or so strong looking as tho average American workingman, nor aro they as intelligent.
There is a statue of Queen Victoria in this restaurant. It is life sizo and stands in a liicho in tho wall off over to tbo loft. Near it is a picture of a Usher maiden looking out wistfully over tho sea, presumably for tho return of her lover. On the walls are temperance and godly inscriptions such as, ''Use not intoxicating drinks," "Wino is a mocker," "Trust in tho Lord" and 60 forth. High up ovor the counter and nearly opposite to tho "Trust iu tho Lord" inscription Is a business inscription which reads, Wo givo no trust."
No Chances Taken.
It would bo impossible for a dosporatoly hungry man to ent a meal iu this restaurant without paying for it. You pay for your food tho instant you got it—right on the nail. No chances are taken. It isn't like it is in America, where you got your 1111 first and pay the cashier afterward. No, Indeed. The London business principle, at least this phase of it, appears to be that a man is a thief till you have found out that he is not, and even tlion that it is as well to troat him as one, so as to bo on tho 6afe side. And hero I may say in passing that suspicion and general distrust of every ono appear to be the keynote of the character of London's lowost class. A stranger is looked upon as a wolf seeking those that ho may devour. If he goes to look for lodgings, the landlady surveys him from head to foot in that timid, shuddering way which belongs to those that have lived their lives in tho midst of meanness, squalor and grinding down of soul and spirit. A woman strangor gets no earthly show at all. Half past 5 in the morning is a busy time for this restaurant. Then it Is thronged with workiugmen, young
"hnd old, **ho have to be at their work 6 o'clock, and who drop in 011 their way to get a hot cup of coffee and to take a bito of bread. The business done at this time Is tho least prying of tho whole day, for then all tho men bring their own bread along, just as tho school lads do at noon.
All that they need is a half]? nny cup of colTec, for this is not their regu. ir breakfast. It is only a sorted' temperance cocktail—a physical bracer of the moral order. Breakfast time for them is from 8 to half past 8 o'clock, when they fill up tho placo again, with more paying rosults for tho proprietor.
Ouality of the Food.
The order most in vogue at this time is for a rasher of bacon, a fried egg, two slices of bread and butter and a large cup of coffee. This comes to fivepcnce. I must say that the rasher and egg are delicious, for I havo tried them. They are just as good as what you can get on the Strand for live times the price. But tiie coffee is villainous. Ye gods! I defy the most expert chemb.t alive to give me tho small chango of it. It seems to 1110 to be a sort of biend between tea that has been overboiled, ink and a suspicion of stale coffee grounds. Tho bread, however, was good, but tho butter, which had been spread thinly over it beforehand with a knife, was on tho same plr.no of excellence with tho coHee. '1.ho only good thing concerning it was tho fact that the restaurant people had been careful not to spread too much of it on. At o'clock in tho evening it closes up. Pear00 withholds his ••plenty" till the coming ol another day.

POSTWAtTCR GENERAL D1SSELL.
Ho is Popular In liuil'.ilo and Was Well iiked by Yale College Mu^cnis.,.,[Special Correspondence.]
BfFFAT.n. April 1.—The resignation of W. ri. Ei.ssoll, which, when it takes effect, will add the prefix "ex" to the title of postmaster general, has sot a lot of his Buffalo acquaintances to telling' stories oC bis younger days. Although he was born in Oneida county, his parents moved here when he was 5 or 6 years old, and much of his boyhood was therefore passed in this city.
His middle name being Shannon, he was always called Shan by his schoolmates, with whom he was very popular, and he is remembered by many middle aged men hero who knew him then as being tall and stout for his age, with a face in which tho red glow of health was always prominent. His best friend was Ben Lander. Lander sat next him at school, and the homes of tho two boys wero adjoining. With a third, Horace Parmolee, they built a flat bottomed boat, from which they usod to fish for hours in the waters of Niagara river.
Iu their fondness for fishing these boys were like most others, but Shan and Ben had one other amusement', not unique, it is true, but still not adopted by many. It was keeping a menagerie. This menagerie was located back of the Lander home. It consisted of snakes and turtles, a woodchuck, a Hying squirrel and quite an extensive collection of white and liold mice. These mammals and reptiles were kept in a lot of old barrels and boxes and their care occupied a good deal of time on the part of both boys. Sometimes Shan used to take baby snakes with him tr school in his pockets, iuit whether he was ever thr.-e.hcd for doing this is not of jrecord. In tho summer time the boys wi re wont to mako near Bufup spcci-..

After iy:i In": ih-.i ward school at the age of 12 ''.i --'ell was !V!.aral for col!e at the Hopkins (iramm-ir school in New liav ii. lie entered Yale at tbo age of *. lie was then feet 10 inches tall, i»r. 1 r. a iter to Horace 1'armeleo which is s.il' p/..served he mentioned tho fact that every one told him he was growing and announced his height in an underscored paragraph, in college he was very popular, being made a member of the' .-.poons" committeeof his class and of the Skull and Bones secret society. Tho importance of this latter, from tho students' standpoint, will bo understood by the non-Yaie man when I explain that but, hreo members of each eiass aro allowed to join the society.
In spite of the fact that most people associate cigarette smoking with slender waisted men of the dude type, Mr. Bissell smokes tho paper rolls, or did so recently, with much enjoyment. He began t.heir use in lSS^J during (irovcr Cleveland's campaign for governor. Bissell was t.hon Mr. Cleveland's partner, and when the to bo president first saw ti cigarette between tho lips of bis legal coworker and political supporter there wero words of expostulation. "Bissell, said Mr. Cleveland, "I wish you would stop smoking those paper things. I would rather buy your cigars myself than to sec cigarettes in your, mouth."
Bissell said never a word, but Mr. Cleveland bought him a lot of cigars all the same and shortly afterward announced that if elected governor that fall he would bo delighted to sign a bill for tho suppression of cigaretto smoking. Such a bill was passed during Cleveland's gubernatorial term and signed by him, but it prohibited the sale of cigarettes to boys only and is quite as much a dead letter iu this state as it would bo in any other.
During Mr. Cleveland's first term as president tho New York reporters used to 6eizo upon overy possible occasion to interview Mr. Bissell regarding national politics, and this finally booamo so distasteful to him that nine times in ton when ho went to tho metropolis ho madeit a point to get into his hotel as late as possible, got to his room without registering and leave in tho morning without oven waiting to pay his bill, which always followed him to Buffalo. Mr. Bissell's signature is vory much like Mr. Cleveland's, being vory small, though the strokes of tho letters are formod more boldly, aud tlio lines aro heavior than thoso in tho president's signature.

Chinewe Indifferent to Pain. "During four years of service as pollco surgeon in San Francisco," said a physl' clan, "I saw some pretty severe cases of wounded Chinamen yos, and Chioil women too—and I declare thoir insensitivoness to pain seemed to bo almost absolute. Part of it, I havo no doubt, is due to racial, inherent stoicism, but Iain also inclined to the opinion that tho Chinese do nob fool pain as wo do. Now, I remember tho^ ease of a woman who was brought down to tho city prison ward from ChlnatowiT with her head literally split open in five places by ono of the highbinders' hatchet men. From the very first to the last—I think she died—she gavo 110 indication of pain and did not even rofer to her injuries. The Chinese dislike our surgical ap« pliances, our knives and saws, not, how-' ever, because of tho pain thoy produce, buft because that sort of troatment is foreign to their ideas."
