BOOTH-TK KKR LEFT LAST M.HT FOR IIALI.IMiTr-N'S HOME. Mysterious Message from the American Coumaadcr The Rival Armies in Cleveland. NEW YORK. April 5-Friends of the Booth-Tu kr- claim ihat Commander Balling-ton Booth and his sister, Mrs. BoothTucker, will meet to-morrow. All the restraints relating to a third party being present at the conference by way of cuardinz against suspected misrepresentation on or.e I fcde or the other, are reported to have been discarded, and Mrs. Booth-Tucker in her anxiety to meet her brother was willing to accede to the request that Mrs. Balllngton Booth be permitted to hear the Booth family dialogue. Late to-night an emissary from Ballington Booth, who hurried over from the commander's home in Montclair, N. J., rushed ;nio the Salvation Army headquarters in West Fouriitnm street anu tola ungadier ierry that he des:red to see Mrs. BoothTucker, as he was the bearer to her of a wessaxe from her Drother, Balllngton Booth. lou cannot see Mrs. Booth-Tucker tonignt." said Brigadier Perry, "no matter What your business is or to what it relates." Tue messenger left the building somewhat chagrined at the action of Brigadier Perry and hastened around to the garrison headquarters in West Thirteenth screet, where it as seen he del.vertd the message. Then tnere was hurrying and considerable excitement, and it was subsequently reported that Mrs. Booth-Tucker, accompanied by her private secretary. MaJ. Alice Lewis, and her stafT captain, had left surreptitiously for Montclair. N. J. lnienliw with Booth-Turker. PHLUDir:PHlA. April 5. Commissioner Booth-Tucker, the new commanlar of the Salvation Army, conducted a. religious meeting in this city to-day. He was accompanied by Major Milan and a number of the Philadelphia officers of the army, and the hall where the services were held was filled to its capacity. Tae commissioner was greeted with great applause. In an Interview after the meeting he said: "The 'army is going along just the way that it always was conducted. Ballington Booth was a good Salvationist, and I see no reason to change his pians. There may be seme new developments in social schemes, iwwever. I propose to spend a week In the slums. Our idea Is to deal with tlie poverty wh!ch exists in the cities, and we have no Idea of making the army !n America a colony to be overrun by Ehglani. Ths personal feeling for Ballington Booth will last for awhile, but it will not continue. He is like a politician who will not work with his party. He tnlnke he can sweep the country by himself, without strings and without mils, but he cannot. I am as good an Amercan as Ballington Booth. I am of American descent on my father's side, althouga my .mother's family was French. My ancestors have lought !n the Revolutionary war, and 1 have a ous!n in Congress; therefore I have a rlg.K to be here. L am taking out naturalisation papers now. Among other things, wo will stop giving most of the highest positions In the army to Englishmen. Not only will Americans get their positions of promise in tnis country, but they will be sent to the higher offices over the world. Of course, they must have the qualifications of goodBess, ability and Salvation Army experience." In regard to Brigadier Fielding, of Chicago, w.io has gone ever to Ballington Booth. Mr. Tucker said: "He has resigned, but we have not accepted bs resignation. We hope to win him back to the army. Commissioner Eva Booth has gone there to try to settle the difficulty. She has great influence over him." Salvationists flush. CLEVELAND, O.. April 5.-There was a conflict between Ballington Booth's Amercan Volunteers and Corps No. 1 of the Salvation Army here to-day. It was a conflict Cf prayer and melody, however. The Volunteers held their first public meeting In the public square. There were about twentyflve of the Volunteers Most of thsm wore the old Salvation Army uniform and the iBalllngton Booth badge. A crowd of a thousand followed the volunteers from the Klrst M. E. Church, which had been packed at the Easter services. When the meeting In the square was In progress the Salvation Army corps, with a brass band, appeared on the scene, drowning the prayers of the Volunteers. The meeting went on, however, and soon the two bands of soldiers were praying in different parts of the little park. There were many patriotic speeches by the Volunteers. At the conclusion of the meeting the American flag which the Volunteers had carried was spread, with a soldier at each comer, and all who desired to contribute were ask1 to do so by flinging their money upon the flag. There was a shower of coins, and a handsome contribution was the result. Afterwards there were service at the First M. E. Church, that edlrlce being packed. Kvs in Chicago. CHICAGO. April 5.

A area; many matters were left entirely to the Emperor, anl :n sfich a case he has largely followed the advice of his favorite tutor, Weng Tung-ho. The Emperor has had no Joys in his royal position, but day after day, from the mi. arable hur cf 2 ' ljck in the morning, has had to bother his brain w!th a mass of most critical problems, as well as tiie routine of strict proprieties. The Empress Dowager, on the other hand, has had leisure for recreation, amusement and cnange. She has been supplied with all sorts of costly and attractive treasures by the central and provincial officials, and has been daily wait?d upon and amused by tne eunuchs of her palace. The princes ani nobles, wi:h the Manchu officials of the Imperial household, have been in attendance upon her as well as the Kmperor. Thus her life has, in the last few years, been one of comfort and pleasure. When the two officials. Wang Mingluan and Chand-lin. were degraded a few weeks since at the Instigation and by the order of the Empress Dowager, her power was at once felt and feared by all the capital. Since then the Official azette has chronicled nearly evry other day the visit of the Emperor to the Empress Dowager. This Is all that is mentioned, but no one supposes that this is all in reality. When the young man stands in the presence of the distinguished and strong-willed woman who first chose him for the throne and afterward looked after his training, selected his wife and concubine, and finally placed him in peaceful possession of a throne, which In his boyhood was liable to overthrow, it can be easily imagined that more than a few formalities are then observed, and that once again the Empress Dowager Is interesting herself in the right management of the affairs of the empire, and more especially the adoption of methods and means new but imperative. We shall hear more of her In the future.

ENGLAND AND SPAIN

Hff YORK WORLD CORRESPONDENT REPORTS A KW TREATY. L'nderstnndlnir Between the Two that Gives Finn-land Great Advantage Beyond Gibraltar. BRITAIN'S RETURN PROMISE SHE WILL OPPOSE THIS COIN TRY INTERFERING TS I I HA. More Explicit Derails of the Agreement Expected to Become Public In a Few Days. NEW YORK. April 6.-A dispatch to the World from London says: The positive statement came to your correspondent from a leading financier of this city (t! ie moneymaking part of London) that England lias concluded a treaty of alliance with Spain. His final message was: "Within ten days Europe will be startled by the official announcement of this fact." Continuing, the World's correspondent says: "I give this statement with the reserve which Its International Importance warrants, pointing out only that the sensitive money interests of the city are often better informed on such matters than is any other part of the community, except the highest official authority, and that my informant is now and for many years has been associated with the leading financial enterprises, conspicuously the international ones of London bankers. His name, if I cou'd mention it, would be recognized as very authoritative by every New York bar ker as well as every London banker. "Such a treaty would have a vastly important bearing on the continental situation. It would have a commensurately important bearing upon the Cuban question in the United States. "I quoted to my informant the statement in the New York newspapers reaching me by yesterday's mail that the Washington government had received a semi-official intimation from the British Ministry that Clieat Britain would approve of the recognition by the United States of Cuban belligerency. ' His reply was that exactly the contrary is the case, that in the first place the Salisbury Ministry is disposed to do anything it can with safety and in reason to check the pretensions of the American government to interfere in either West Indian or South American affairs particularly in the West Indies, where Great Britain herself has most important interests and that, secondly, Spain by this treaty has made Important concessions to England in return for the latter's more or less active support of Spain in her conflict with the Cuban rebels. "I can furnish no further details of this alleged treaty than that, according to my informant, it will include giving to Great Britain the right to harbor and refit her fleets in the Mediterranean ports of Spain. The harbor of Cartagena is one of the finest on the Mediterranean, and would shelter the entire British navy. The Salisbury Mlnlstery has openly and officially stated one of its chief reasons for that extraordinary movement, the advance on the Soudan, accepted as hostile by France and Runs i a, was to make a friendly diversion 1n behalf of Italy. All Euro.e has in turn accepted this assurance as proof of England's sympathy with the triple alliance, and even Germany showed appreciation of this fact by voting with Italy and Austria to assist England's war with the Khalifa." "France and Russia, on the contrary, are ablaze with hostile Indignation against England because of this movement. From all this the Importance of an Anglo-Spanish alliance to Great Britain is obvious. Neither Gibraltar nor Malta England's only two ports on the Mediterranean is capable of either harboring or refitting a fleet, but with both the Italian and Spanish ports thrown open to the British navy the French fleet at Toulon would be at England's mercy and Russia could hardly, make a junction from the Black sea with the ships of her French ally. "Such are the apparent reasons why Great Britain should wish to make such an alliance as above indicated. It would, moreover, leave her In safe possession of Gibraltar." INSTRICTIVE FIGURES. Look on the Harrison and Then on the Cleveland Picture. Rochester Post-Express (Rep.) During the administration of President Harrison the interest-bearing debt resting upon the country was reduced as follows: 1890 $125,000,000 1891 , 135.000.000 1892 40.000,000 1893 10,000.000 Total 1310.000,000 Thus far during the administration of President Cleveland this same national debt has ben reduced as follows: 1894 Nothing 1896 Nothing 1896 Nothing Total Nothing "Look here upon this picture and on this." During the Republican administration vt Harrison debts amounting to the prodigious sum of $310,000,000 discharged; during tie Democratic administration of Cleveland not so much as a penny paid. But these two tables, significant as is the contrast, do not tell the whole story. How much did the Hirrlson administration borrow? How much has the Cleveland administration up to date borrowed? Well, here are the two exhibits. The Harrison administration borrowed as folic v"s : 1890 Nothing 1891 Nothing 1892 Nothing 1893 Nothing Total Nothing Up to date the Cleveland administration has borrowed as follows: 1894 (February) $50,000,000 Interest ten years, at 5 per cent 25.0oO,0oo 1894 (November) 50,000.000 Interest nine and a half years, at 5 per cent 23,750 000 1895 62.315.400 Interest thirty years, at 4 per cent. 74. ..8 480 !g96 1 00,000,000 Interest twenty-nine years, at 4 per cent 116,000.000 Total $591,843,880 This $501,000,000 of new interest-bearing debt is the price the American people are called upon to pay for substituting a Democratic tariff for a Republican tariff. If Hirrlson had been re-elected and the policy of protection had not bejn Interfered with there would have been no occasion for any borrowing, since the Nation would have been abundantly able to meet all Its expenditures with its Income. ( APTIRE OF JEFF DAVIS. The Mn Who Took Him Onoe More Telia How It WnR Done. Washington Special to Chicago Record. William P. Stedman, the man who actually captured Jefferson Davis when the President of the late Confederacy was trying to escape, is now a messenger In the Agricultural Department, where he was appointed by Secretary Morton two or three years ago. Mr. Stedman is a resident of Owosso, Mich., and has been engaged in farming since the war. He Is an unpretentious man, but talks and writes well, and his recollections of the historical events In which he was the second actor of Importance is very clear. The story he tells is, that, while at Abbeville. Ga.. on May 9, 1965. Celonel Prltchari. of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, met Colonel Harnden. of the First Wisconsin, who informed them that Jefferson Davis and some other refugees from Richmond had crossed the river the night before: that he had been following them for two days, and claimed the right of way. Colonel Prftchard acceded, and offered to lend a part of his regiment, which Colonel Harnden declined, and proceeded south on the trail of Mr. Davis. Pritchard afterward learned that there was another road In the same direction, and. taking 120 of his best mounted men. started to follow It. That nljfht thy accidentally ran upon the camp of Mr. Davis's party, which they surrounded and waited for davlisht. "As I sat by In the morning." said Mr. Stedman, "some of our men went to the tent door, but were met by a woman, who asked them to keep out. as there were undresse.1 ladles within. Soon after she inquire j if we would let her servants go after

some water. Consent was given, when out came a tall person with a lady's water-proof overdress on and a small brown shawl on her head, a tin pail on the right arm and a colored woman leaning on the left arm. The tall person waa scooping over as if to appear shorter. I concluded It must be Davis in disguise, and as the guards did not halt them I rode around, recognized Davis and told him his disguise wouiu not succeed. A man by the name of Andrew Bee. a Swede, who was cook for Colonel Pritchard. came up on the run. grabbed bth hands into the front of the dress that Davis had one. Jerked it open and said to him. 'Come out of this, you old devil.' "Davis, at this attack, straightened up and showed anger. At the same time he rut his hand to his back under his dress, thought he was after a revolver and covered him with my carbine. But Mrs. Davis threw herself In front of the gun and cried out that her husband was not armed. Davis then took off; his dress and shawl, threw them on the ground and started back to his tent. The clothing is new in the War Department. "When Colonel Pritchard came up shortly after Davis was sitting on a log across the road from his tent, calm and cool. Colonel Pritchard asked him what his name was. He answered: " 'You may call me what you please.' "Colonel Pritchard placed the prisoner in my charge, and as we sat by the fire a soldier by the name of Lornch came up leading a fine bay horse and said: 'Jeffle. here Is your horse: you won't need him any more; won't you give him to meT "Davis did not answer, but Colonel Lubbock, one of his attendants, beoame very angry and declared that he would not see his president insulted.' Lynch responded with an oath: 'What is he president ofT Lynch and one of his officers afterward quarreled about this horse and on Saturday morning shot him. Lynch is the same man who got Mrs. Davis's valise containing her valuables, said to amount to several thousand dollars. He hid it near Macon, and went there and got it after he was discharged from the army. "There was no violent language used in my hearing except by Andrew Bee, when he tore open the waterproof on Mr. Davis." CONCERNS 5,000 MEN

GOWNS OF THE SPRING

THE: SI BJEtT OP DKESS .MICH DCSCISSED BY WOMBS J I ST SOW. Faahlonnble Materlnls. for Spring Costamee-SIlk Heada the Llt with Trail- parent Fabrics Xeit. New York Sun. The subject of dress assumes fresh importance as the final days of the Lenten season come around, and what shall a woman wear when the days of penitence are over? Is the absorbing question, beside which all the earlier resolutions of selfdenial become a foggy uncertainty. Fashion seems to put forth every effort at this particular season to entice all womankind Into her net, and fascinating combinations of color and materials of every conceivable kind are displayed in the most tempting manner. But the conventional new gowns for Eastern festivities must have some consideration, so women can easily gratify their vanity without much of a struggle with their conscience. Silks of every kind, except India and Surah, head the list of fashionable materials for dressy gowns, and mohair, alpaca, canvas and grenadines of silk or wool, or both mixed, are leading favorites in dress goods. In fact, all transparent fabrics are desirable In style for the coming season, and they are made up over black, white or colored silks. Wool canvas comes in varying degrees of thickness, both loosely and coarsely woven, and a finer quality is sometimes called etamine. Other kinds are still softer, and any of the grades. In shades of tan or beige, are sure to be good style; but not all of them wear well, as the threads sometimes pull out. Novelties in canvas have silk flowers on the surface, and are broken into large plaids by colored silk striies on a beige or gray ground. Grenadines will be much worn this season, and those with flowered stripes on a black ground, alternated with black satin, are especially elective made up over black silk. The tendency to light, transparent materials serves to extend the usefulness of gauze and chiffon, and the latest novelties in these are patterned all over in Persian or flowered designs in soft colors. There is a long series of thin fabrics between canvas ana gauze, and any of these open-meshed weaves made over colored silk has a changeable effect which Is very pretty, and decidedly a feature of the new in fashions. Old-time flowered grenadines and gauze will be the leading fabrics for elaborate gowns. Brown canvas over green silk and black over petunia red makes very stylish gowns, but of course the silk must be vivid in color to get a good effect, unless the dress is made in some way to display the silk in the outSide. For example, one fancy is to show the silk in a narrow band at each seam in the skirt, and, in combination with tne material in the waist, flowered silks are sometimes used, and one gown of tan canvas has a yoke, and the upper half of tne sleeve pufl of flowered silk. A narrow applique of yellow lace covers' the seam and finishes the edge of the yoke. Round or oval Ivory buttons are an effective trimming on gray or tan canvas. Foulard silks have come around Into style again because of their glossy surface, no doubt, as everything this season is to be stiff and shiny rather than soft and clinging. Oldfashioned glace silks, similar to those worn thirty years ago, and brocaded poult de sole are both very popular with tuffetas, striped flannel, checked and chamelon. of every degree of stiffness following In their train. Black brocades, plain satins and figured black taffetas are much used for the early spring gowns, and the last are especiallyserviceable for reallv hard wear. But these dresses are all made bright with creamwhite satin and lace, or some color in the waist, green being very effective. This is also the case with dark gowns of wool material. THE COAT BODICE. The coat bodice is the prevailing style, and in some instances it Is cut quite long, but in nearly every case the basque effect is there, even though it commences on the hips and forms a ruffle across the fca?k only. Fancy vests of flowered silk, satm or brocade in light colors, and the elaborate collar bands which are such a feature of the new gowns, make the plainest coat waist very dressy. Vests of accordion-plaited chiffon and net with lace edgings are quite as popular as ever, but the collar and belt are the points which receive most attention Just at present. Collars are cut higher in the back than they were formerly, and, besides the ribbon band and bow, there is a ruche of plaited silk, chiffon loops of black velvet ribbon or lace set In the edge. Striking contrasts of color are another feature o' the new collar, and bright green with blue is one of the favorke combinations. Belts are treated in the same manner as regards color, and they are of all widihs from the inch band to a folded pointed girdle of some considerable width, decorated back and front with fancy buttons and trimmed on the edge with applique lace cr rows of narrow ribbon. First among the coat models, which are equally suitable for silk or wool goods, is one of tan cloth, with wide collar, tabs, and square revers of petunia velvet, branded with gold and tan. The full vest of soft cream white satin Is shirred in three little ruches across the bust. The skirt which accompanies this is also of tan cloth, with a band of petunia velvet and braiding at the bottom. A second coat is pretty for light silk and evening wear, with dark silk skirts. Mauve with a cream-white vest and collar shaped revers is a charming eccnbir.iation. with white feather trimming on the edge and a Jabot of lace at the aoclL A stylish effect is gained in the third model, which is carried out In blue chameleon silk, by revers and vest of black s lk, embroidered in soft shades of rose mauve and green. These dressy coat waists are sometimes made with shorter sleeves, which reach Just below the elbow, and are finished with a frill cf laco. Another coat has very pointed revers. braided around the edge on a narrow band of doth in a pale shade of the same color, which is gray, and the vest is of green si-Ik with laoe bow and jabot t the neck. A Louis XVI coat of black satin is cut in one with the basque, which has the usual flutes at the back allowed at the seams. It Is lined with white, and the vest of white satin Is braided with gold and silver and fastened at one side. The under rever is of black velvet, the u: r one of white satin, and the effect Is plain but very striking. VELVET COATS. Velvet coats will be much worn on the street as soon as It is warm enough to discard outside wraps, and one dressy model in dark green has wide shawl-like revers which form a full cape over the sleeves, ending in the armhole at the back, and covered with wide cream lace. The belt of black satin ends in three loops at either side, and the vest of cream white silk has the usual frill of lace and bands of black satin braided with gold are on either side. White pique, trimmed with a row of small brass buttons is used in the same way, peeping out in a narrow band from either side of the coat, when the gown is of some dark wool, and the vest may be of white s.uin just the sarn . A tfown of brown silk strewn with shirred pink flowers, and made with a plain skirt and eoat waist lined wilh (ink, brown velvet revers, and vest of cream white satin nearly covered with Jabots of cream lace, Is one of the gems among useful and stylish dresses. Mohair and alpaca ngure largely on the list of new gowns for Easter and for wear .ater in the season. Alpaca and mohair are quite different In texture, althoujcn the words are synonymous in the minds of some people. Mohair is said to be the fleece of the Angora goat of the Orient. It is coarser than alpaca and always white, so it can be dyed any color. Alpaca Is from the goat of South America, and is usually brown or black or mixed colors, with very little white in its natural state: so anything lighter than dark gray is sure to be mohair. Many tailor gowns are made of mohair In the approved coat and skin style, and one example is n cornflower blue coarsely woven. The ccat Is piped all around the edges with white kid, and a narrow white kid belt passes across the back through the side seam, and underneath the front, across the soft vest of white silk, embroidered with pink rosebuds, which has a band of kid embroidered in cut steel down the center. The sleeves are plaited down from the top and up from the wrist, forming puffs at the elbow, and are cut in two points, falling over the hand. Very useful mohair dresses are made by the dressmaker, with p. round waist fulled slightly at the belt, both back and front a narrowleather or gold belt being very pretty and cut to turn back in wide revers in front The revers may be covered with moire pop lln In some contrasting shades, heavy cram lace, or lace to match. If the gown Is for ordinary wear, chemisette vests and collar bands of different contrasting colors mav be worn, making a nice variety with one simple gown. Brown mohair trimmed with bands of white silk embroidered with dull

blue and gold, and blue anu gold enamel buttons and belt buckle, is very effective and unusual. THE ODD WAIST. Despite all the rumors to the contrary, silk waists and old waists of all sorts seem to hold their own in fashion and bid fair to outlive the summer. The fact that so few tailor-male gowns are made with the close-fitting bodice Is conclusive proof that the silk waist will endure for at least one more season. The loose blouse effect is going out, however, but in its stead are draped waists with carefully fitted linings and pointed front, with either one or two points. The material is laid in narrow plaits up the back where the waist fastens, ani the scant folds are arranged crosswise on the front. The sleeves are drapeJ in a small puff at the top, wrinkled anl close below, and cut long, with a frill of lace falling over the hand. The collar band of this simple waist is very fancy, with draped silk and lace and a lace bow at tHe back. The cut of the new skirts is not ypt materially changed, for they are still full around the bottom, but not with exaggerated fullness, closely flttel about the hips, and made with an inside facing of hair cloth. The model with the wide box effect in front seems to be a favorite and this plait is sometimes stiffened across the bottom with whalebone to keep It in place. About the only variation noticeable In skirts is in the front breadth, which is often cut very narrow and flaring and trimmed down either side on the seam. Five yards Is a good width for the skirt around the bottom for cloth or any wool goois. But street skirts are cut short enough to clear the ground well. A costume illustrated is made;of Scotch wool material which is a mixture of hrown, bla k, turquoise blue and white. The collar, bands in the shoulder, and be'.t are of Jet sequined trimming, the vest and frills of black chiffon, and tdv? ban.is down either side of the front of turquoise blue velvet. Another and more simple gown of Lo cloth is trimmed with bands of white satin etiged with Jet, and cream Isce over the shoulders and draped acros the front, fastened on either side with brass buckU s. The collar Is of lace with lace loops at etther i-:lc. Brown canvas forms the next dress, cream satin the vest and guipure lace over white the collar. Milliners' folds of brown silk trim the skirt. Another model, easily copied, is carried out in green flowered silk. The bodice is srmply ful'ed Into a black velvet belt. The vest is of 1 blue silk, the frill on either side of laoe. and the blue collar has loops of black velvet, while the straight sleeves are trimmed with a deep frill of lace. ATROCITIES IN CUBA

RAPPLEYE, THE EXPELLED CORR E MH) M ) E T. TELLS HIS STORY. Statements Mioiviiift Truthfulness of tae Tales of Spanish Barbarity and Falsehood. New York Mail and Express. As for the facis which correspondents in Cuba have been able to give to the world as Illustrations of the barbarous methods which Spain is employing to overcome the i evolution, I can only say that they do not tell half the story. The horrors are simply indescribable, but out of every ten that are known to have been committed, the correspondents are able to procure absolute proof of barely one. This is because the efforts to prevent their doing so are made just as much a part of the military operations as the actual campaign against the rebels. It happened to be upon my own pass, which I had sent to General Weyler for renewal, that he issued his order prohibiting any correspondent accompanying a Spanish column. If a correspondent goes out Into the country alone he must have permission from the Captain General. That is the order, but I know of only one such pass having been granted out of all the applications which have been made by correspondents, and that pass was rescinded within twenty minutes after It had been granted, when It was admitted by the correspondent who procured it that his object in going to Guines was to learn what disposition had been made of the American citizen, Walter Grant Dygart. If a correspondent goes out into the country without such an order he cannot enter any city or town occupied by the Spanish, and if he is overtaken by a Spanish column outside of the cities in daylight he is, under a decree of the captain general, which has ordered every one into the cities, subject to at rest. The real danger is in his not being arrested, but in being shot by the Spanish troops the moment it is found he is an American, for it will be remembered that General Melguizo and Colonel Molina, at the moment they ordered the American, Dr. Delgado and the live Cuban boys and two men to be taken out and put to death, slapped Dr. Delgado in the face and said "that if they had the American Consulgeneral there they would shoot him, too." This applies to daylight. At night the fate of the American correspondent who may be overtaken by a Spanish column Is instantly settled by a decree which Is now operative a'.l over the Island "Be it known that all forces who operate in the territory of this u.vision (any division upon its hearing the reading of the order) have orders to tire without giving the halt to any person who travels at night on the roads outside the cities and towns." MORO DUNGEONS. If a correspondent, by any circumstance, should meet with a rebel force or should go out deliberately and attach himself to imrebel armies, the only thing in store 'for him upon his return either to send news to his newspaper or to leave the island is arrest and imprisonment in the dungeons of Moro Castle. This is what happened to Michaelson and Betancourt, when arrested in mistake for myself and another correspondent, whose name I do not feel at liberty to divulge without his consent, who had been In Guatao. This closes every possible channel of information which the Spanish can control, but it is not the en i of their efforts to prevent the correspondents from communicating even what news they can get after overcoming, these almost insurmountable obstacles. At this point they place the censor over all communications, and If by any means he permits an item to be cabled out of Cuba reflecting in the slightest manner anything but glory to the Spanish arms, and dishonor to the rebels, that censor is punishei by being removed from the Palace and sent out Into the field to fight. This has happened twice, the last time because a Spanish correspondent of a Madrid paper succeeded in conveying the information to his office tha.t Maceo iv.d invaded Pinar del Rio province, which invasion was not only already accomplishe I, but had carried with 11 three successively overwhelming defeats to the Spanish at Batabano, Caniolaria and Cavagabos, on the 13th, 16th and 17th of the present month, to which battles the correspondent had not even alluded. A correspondent must, therefore, under these circumstanoca, become a willing agent to the dissemination of the Spanish lies which are called "official reports." and send nothing else out of Uuha. or he must Si vise some mp-ini of gettrnjc his communications away from the is'ard in a manner which will elude the vigilance of the recognized authorities, as well as a horde of spies, whose duty it is to intercept everything they can get the'r hands on in the shape of a comspondent's letter or ab e" ABSOLUTELY TRUTHFUL. Tt Is known perfectly we'd how far the correspond emts have succeeded In outwitting all these precautions. The generally correct impression which the American people have to-day of the status of the Cuban revolution and its bloody, inhuman, merciless and savage slaughter of nonet mbatants and prisoners, which constitutes the Spanish policy of conducting the war. is due to the successful efforts of the American corresiondents to tell as much truth as they could. It certainly is nx from the Spanish official repons which are being given out at Havana, and. tunce the correspondents have refused to ex rd them, are now being cabled by General Weyler to Minister De Lome and being given out at Washington. The correspondents, from the beginning, have agreed in not sending any account of a butchery or outrage where there whs one link of the evidence missing, no matter how circumstantial the story might otherwise oe. That is why not one massacre or piece of barbarity which has be-n s-nt to th United Stare.! ha ever been dls.roven by the sccalled Investigations which the Spanish have conducted. This is the beet evidence that could be given to show that the Spanish government has ! i I ahstluteiy fair treatment from the American correspondents. As for the fate of the generals and officers of lower rank whose reputations have suffered because of the exposures of outrages,

PENALTY OF Bi:i; A HI SIORISVT. Kffect of Simple aetlons Wklcl Mark Twain Asked. New York Sun. Mark Twain, in common with many other men who are known as professional humorists, nas frequently to pay the penalty of his reputation in a way that must be annoying. Not long before he started on his present lecturing tour around the world he was invited to examine Sandow, the stronf? man, in his dressing room and feel his muscles, as was the privilege of guests. Bantlow's managers usually invited from a dozen to twenty people to come to the strong man's dressing room after the performance and look him over at short range. A physician, a burlesque actress, who has since married and left the stage, two other women and a dozen men, who didn't look as if they were anybody In particular, were gathered In Sandow's dressing room on the evening when Mark Twain made bis appearance. Two men. very conscious of the importance of their task, piloted the humorist into the room. Several newspaper men. who dropped fn later recognised Mark Twain, but to the other spectators he waa simply an unknown, with unkempt long; gray hair, which looked as if a little mora bleaching would turn it white, and sleepyltjoklng eyes, which gave the observer the impression that he indulged in frequent catnaps. Sandow Inflated his chest, exercised the muscles of his back, and then walked around the room to permit each guest to feel his arms and legs. The women present made their Inspection first. When Sand w reached Mark Twain the latter apparently woke up and became very much interested in the musculr.r giant before him. What do you eat?'' he asked. It was the first thing that he had Uti& since enterin'g the room, and his two pilots laughed loudly. The otner guests looked at them in surprise. When the pilots saw that they had attracted general attention one of them leaned over to the man sitting beside him, and In a whisper that could be heard by every one said: "This is Mark Twain, you know, the funny man. He asks Sandow what he eats. Ha! Ha! Ha'" "Good," said the man addrosed. "What he eats, eh? Yes, I see. Ha! Ha! Ha!" The other men present didn't want to tr considered dense, so tney passed the witticism around and laughed at it in turn. Mark Twain asked Sandow how much he slept. The listening pilot laughed at thia question first and then passed It around and everybody laughed. Mark Twain wj so Interested In Sandow that he diel not perceive at first the laughter which his questions were exe-lting. When he did notice it he looked puzzled. Then one of his .dlots said, in a stage whisper: ' They all know who you are." Twain had probably met the same kind of stage people before. A look of extreme weariness came over his face, his eyes partially closed, and, without asking any more questions he pulled his cape around him and walked out of the room. The spectators, remained h?.lf an hour longer, asking each other: "Did you hear him say this, or thatr and "Wasn't he funny?" What Bloomers De. Philadelphia Times.
