Peac e Jnbilee Addresses the Ueur j ria Legislat ure on the Xew Union and the Old Flag * . Atlania . Dec. 15. —President McKin- ley mad e memorabl e the first day of the Atlant a peace jubilee by a notable utterance in his speech before the joint se. =sion of the Georgia legislature yes- terday afternoon. His reception by the general assembly was warm and hearty in the extrem e, and his speech was in- terrupted with frequent outbursts of cheering. It is admitted on all sides that th e address marked an epoch in h.story and is on every lip. I' po n the presid ent ' s arrival at the capital he v.as greeted with a field ar- tillery salute and was at once escorted to Governor Candler ' s office. There a short informal reception took place. l" pt.n its conclusion the president was conducted to the assembly chamber , v. here he occupied the speaker ' s chair , with Govern or Candler on his right. When President Dodson of the senate called the legislature to order , t he gal- leries w-re thronged with men and wo- men. The body of the chamber was v. - fli f.Iird with state senators and as- semblymen , while the uniforms of va- rious oiik- ^TS and the governor ' s staff gave a touch of brilliant color to the gath erin g. On the first row facing the spea k er sat Sec retaries Gage , Lo"g. Wilson and Smith and Secretary to the President Porter. Beside the speaker ' s desk ar.d below the president were seat- ed Generals Wheeler . La vrtor. and Young in full uniform . The speaker ra pped for silence and introduced the presi- dent to the audience after congratu- lati ng the state of Georgia upon the presence of their distinguished guests. As the president rose the audience ap- plau ded. Durin g the course of his short speech Mr. Mc-Kinley referred to his notes and constantly paused for the cheers to stop. A scene of intensr en- thusiasm followed when , amid im- p ressive silence, these words fell from the lips of the president: "Every soldier ' s grave made duri ng the civ:! war is a tribute to America n " alor . and while, when these graves were mad- , we differed widely about the future of the government , those differenc es were long ago settlrd by the arbitram ent of arms, and the time has now- come, in the evolution of senti- ment and feeling under the providence of God. when in th- - > spirit of fraternit y we should share w:th you in the care of the craves of the Confederate sol- The President WIldJj- App lnnded . A wild cheer went up from every throat in the typical southern audien ce —a cheer that echoed and reached through the chamber until it was taken up by the crowd outside.

Ke sim- ply thank ed on be ' rra 'f of his men at Santiago the legislature and people of Georgia for their tribute to himself. Sec- retary Alger declined to speak , and the legislature dissolved. The president held a private reception in the senate and afterward a public re- ception on the steps of the rotunda. There were hundreds of southerners crushed and jostled by each other m their anxiety to shake a northern pres- ident ' s hand. Many had come from miles distant, and when the president left the capito! there were still hun- dreds bitterly disappointed because they had not been able to make their way through the surging throng to get a second ' s hold on his hands. Later the president reviewed the floral parade. Carriages of every kind were in line , all beautifully decorated. As eac h carriage passed the stand the oc- cupants saluted the president and waved flags, to which the executive re- sponded. A reception was given the president and party last night by the Capita l City club at their splendid house in Peach- tree street.

Gia nt Gns Tank Collapses. - A mammo th gas tank , said to be the largest in the worl d , located at the corner of Twentieth street and Avenue A in New York , collapsed on Tuesday evening while being tested with hydrau- lic pressure. There were about 9, 000.000 gallons of water in the tank , and when it burst the whole neighborhood was inundated , driving hundreds of peop le from their tenements.

General Calixto Garcia , the distin- guish ed Cuban warrior and leader and the head of the commission elected by the Cuban assembly to visit this coun- tr y, died in Washin gton Sunday at the Hotel Raleigh , where the commiss ion has i ts headquarters. Expressions of sympathy were ten- dered by President McKinley and other prominent persons . General Garcia , whose name will be ever linked with those of other patriots who have fought against unequal odds for the freedom of his country, has had a most active and varied life, much of which has been spent In fighting for the cause of Cuban liberty, which he had the satisfaction of seeing accomplished so short a time before his death. He was a man of culture and refinement , of s plendid education and came from a distinguished family of Jaiquani , in San- tiago province. He was born in Cog- quin Oct. 14, 1839, and was therefore In his sixtieth year. Leader In the Former War. General Garcia was educated in Ha- vana and in Spain. In 1864 he was mar- r ied to Isabel Velez. General Garcia was the original conspirator in the uprising of the Cubans against Spain in 1868, and in that war under Gomez he attained the rank of brigadier general. GENERAL GARCIA EXPIRES IN A WASHINGTON HOTEL. In October of 1868 he captured the towns of Jaiquani and Baire and ' re- cruited many hundreds of patriots. He had comm and of the eastern depart- ment during the revolution after 1873 and won many notable victories , in- clu ding those at Melones and Aures. GENERAL GARCIA. While the revolution was in a critical state in the other provi nces and its out- come was uncertain he maintained it with vigor in the territories under his command. In 1875, wh ile reconnoitering with his escort , he was surrounded by 2, 000 Spaniards. Preferring death to capture and sub- sequent execution at the hands of his ene my, he attempted suicide by placing his revolver under his chin and firing. The bullet came out between his eye- brows. For months he lay between life and death , but was saved finally by Spanish surgeons , who possibly owed their own lives to his mercy. The Spaniards , be lieving him about to die , gave him a pardon . For his participation in the rev olu- tionary movement General Garcia was sent to Spain , where for four years he was confined in castles and fortresses , rema ining there until the peace of Zan Jon . He then returned to the United States and together with Jose Marti at- tempted another revolution. He landed in Cuba with a few followers , but the country was tired of war and wanted to try the home rule offered by Spain. He capitulated to the Spanish forces in order to save his few remaining follow- ers and was again banished to Spain In 1880. where he remained under surveil- lance until 1S95, when the last revolu- tion broke out in Cuba. Then he es- ca ped to France and later to New York. His Return to Cuba. His movements since that time and his active participation in the war are familiar to newspaper readers. After coming to this country he endeavored to g et an expedition to the island of Cu- ba in the steamer Hawkins , but this met with shipwreck In a storm , and the cargo was lost. General Garcia was the last man to leave the vessel. Undaunt- ed by his failure . General Garcia made ano ther attempt to ship stores for the Insurgents , this time obtaining the ship Bermuda. He was Intercepted , howev- er , by United States authorities and was arrested on the charge of filibuster- in g, but was released on $3,000 ball. He forfeited this bail and in a final attempt landed on the eastern coast of the is- land with one of the lar gest expeditions that ever reached Cuba. After landing he succeeded General Antonio Maceo in comm an d of the troops of the eastern department , holding the rank of major general . General Maceo marchin g west with his men. At Maceo 's dea th Garcia was elected lieu tenant general of the Cuban arm y, which position he held to the close of the war. During this command he as- saulted and took by sl*ge Tunas , Gulsa an d Gualmaro and cleared the interior of his department of Spanish troo ps. After declaration of war be tween the United States and Spain , General Miles , commanding the American army, sent his representative to General Garcia and subse quentl y the American and Cu- ban generals co-operated in their move- men ts against Santia go. AH the officers who participated In the active work around Santia go bear testi- mon y to the grea t aid , ass istance and loyalty manifested by General Garc ia durin g the campaign. When the Cuban assembly met at the close of the war . General Garcia was one of the principal advisers and was elected chairman of the comm ission directed to come to the United States and confer with the au- thorities in Washington with reference to the work in hand. The funeral of General Garcia was held In St. Patrick ' s church Tuesda y morn ing, after which the body of the old hero was committed to a vau lt in Arl ington National cemetery, hut will la ter he removed for final Interment to Cuba - The obsequies were atte nded with mil itary and civic honors.

The closing days of Spain 's rule In Havana are be ing marked with blood- s hed and disorder. There are frequent exhibitions o£ bitter hat red between Span iards and Cubans , and on Sunday night there occurred an encounter In which three Cubans are reported to have been killed and several wounded. The following details are furnished in pr ess dispatch es from Havana: After the news of General Garcla ' s death spread through Havana early Sunday evenin g the Cubans wished to have all the places of amusement closed. The y succeeded In closing two places frequent ed by Cubans , but the man- agement of the Tacon theater refused to close the house. Allegrette , a former captain of insur- gent troops , got into an excited argu- ment with the manager of the theater and a Spanish officer , who struck him across tbe face with the flat of his sword. Then there was a collision be- tween the Cubans and the Spanish mil- itary men. Suddenly a shot was fired , and th« Cubans retrea ted into the Hotel In- glaterra. More shots were fired on both sides , and Arturo Tuzet , a French citizen born in Havana , was shot and seriously wounded. Still raore shots were fired , and the Cubans ran through the hotel office and made their way up stairs. Jesus Sotolonga , a Cuban , fell wounded on the stairs, and ano thei woun ded man broke Into the room oc- cupied by Lieutenant Fitz-Hugh Lee , demanding protection. General Greene and several members of his staff , who had been out on a balcony watching the crowd , heard the uproar in the hotel and went Into the corridor. As soon as the Spanish offi- cers saw General Greene , who was In uniform , they stopped the pursuit of the Cubans , saluted and retired. At the time the Cubans and pursuing Spaniards ran through the Hotel In- glaterra General Humphreys was In the lobby talking with Major Martin ot General Greene ' s staff and other gen- t lemen. A bullet shattered a mirroi near which they stood , an d two others splintered the staircase. R. S. Howland, editor of the Provi- dence Journal , and W. L. Riley, a New York contractor , were jostled by the sudden rush of shouting and fighting men. The violent scenes in the offic: an d on the stairs lasted , however , for a few minutes only. On Monday morning there was an- other encounter in the streets of Ha- vana , In which several prominent Cu- bans were wounded. About 9 o' clock v.hen a funeral procession which was escorting the hearse containing the re- mains of Jesus Sotolongo , who was kill ed Sunday night, reached the corner oi Infanta and San Jose streets , a violent affra y took place between members ot the funeral party and some employees of the military hospital and Spanish soldiers. The following were wounded: Dr. Betancourt . Cuban deputy for San tiago de Cuba; Rafael Portuendo , Cu ban deputy; the Cuban general Vidal. the Cuban colonel Armando Rives; Francisco Lucas Blanca, a Spania rd; Ra ymon Garcia , a Spaniard , and three women and two children.

Moreover , she is eure to be reminded of other peop le in the course of the search and never fails to look them up also. "A lady came in one morning, sat down and opened the book . She would linger over one part for awhile and then turn to another , keeping tho places with her fingers and bene apparentl y ou reading the whole thing. Meanwhile at least half a dozen men collected behind her , all waiting impatiently to get a chance at the volume. Ac last she tnrned around and was startled to see the crowd ' Are yoa quite through , madam? ' asked one of the men. 'Oh , yes , ' ehe re- plied , 'I was just running through it to see who was there. ' It' s an everyday occurrence for women to come in to wait for a car and get so interested in tbe directory tbat they miss a dozen or so. The book seems to have a weird fas- cination for the Eex. " —New Orleans Times-Democrat. "A Dangerous Han. " Here is a story illustrative of the ignorance of tbe colonies that once pre- vailed in the colonial office and is not yet entirely banished from Downing street. As we all know, the late Lord Carnarvon , when colonial secretary, officially recorded his opinion of Sir Gorge Grey so " a dangerous man. " Sir Charles Gava n Duffy, on one of his visits from Victoria , called upon Lord Carnarvon in Downing street , and in conversation chanced to introduce a reference to Sir George Grey. "A very strange and comprehensible character, " said Lord Carnarvon, with a shake of the bead. "I hear he has now withdrawn to an isl and off ' the coast of New Zealand and surrounded himself with a number of wallabi es. " "Ob, yes ; I think that is not at ail improbable, " replied Sir Charles. "You surprise me, " rejoined Lord Carnarvon. " What must be the state of morality in a country where yon make ligh t of snch a proceeding?" "Why, my lord , what do yon sup- pos e a wallaby to be?" "A half caste female, of course. Ia that not so?" "Certainly not; a wallaby is simply a small kangaroo. " —London Chronicle. Stati stics of Marriage. The chance s at birth that baby will eventually marry are 9 in 20, or rather less than one-half- This result may seem surprising, bat it is largely accounted for by the great mortality of persons un- der marriageable age, ; especially of in- fants up to the age of 5. No fewer than 88 per cent of babies die before they are 5 • years old , and 44 per cent of tbe whole population before the age of 18 In Englandi as in this country, accord- ing to belief , the females outnumber tbe males. Out of every 100 persons now living, 60 are single, 35 are married and 5 are widowed. So thai on. tbe average 1 per- s on i n every 80 you meet in tbe streets , in the train , or wherever it may be , will be either a widow or a widower , and 8 out of 5 will be unmarried. In England an average hnsband and wife on thei r wedding day may expeot to live together for .1? years , in Prance only 28 , in Holland and Belgium 23 , bnt in Rus- sia 80.—Nev? York Home j ournal.

The Port Jefferson post , office was broken into by cracksmen on Monda y night and the safe was wrecked bnt the robbers secured no booty ; They fired two shots at the ni ght watchman and then made their escape. The shots were intended for the officer, but it was only b y chance that the Assistant Postmaster was not even a better target. He fr equently goes into the office late at night to make up the morning mail , and it is not uncom- mon for him to sleep ther e. On Mon- day night he at tended a masquerade party and before leaving remarked that he would stop in the office. This was about 13:80 o' clock. He went directl y home, however. Undoubtedl y the bur- glars were at work on the safe at tho time, and had he entered by the . r ear door, as usual , he would have met with the same reception as tho officer. ENTER THE PORT JEFFER SON POST OFFICE. Officer Brown passed the office about 2 o' clock and seeing a light took it for granted that Mr. Dayton was at his post. To make suns, he tried the door, and called to the assistant. The burg- lars were prompt with a reply firing two .88-calibre shots, one of which passed through the g lass door and the other lodging in the- door frame. Both were fir e d through the curta in a nd as the latter was powder stained, the thieves had a close range. The night watchman immediatel y summoned as- sistance, but in the meantime the burg- lars escaped through the rear door, the same through which they entered. Postmaster Dayton and Constable Walker were called and on examination found that the safe door had been blown open b u t not hi ng taken from th e s afe o r iu fact disturbed about the office. The force of the explosion had forced the in- side door in so tightly that it was im- possible to get it open before the alarm was given. A jimmy, a new carpenter ' s b r ace, a cheap dark lantern , an old hammer and an iron bar were left and the tracks in the snow indicated that the men had gone toward tho railroad station. Next morning C. A. Squires , Post- master at Echo, found that his barn had been opened during the night and that his harness and sleigh and a horse be- longing to A. L. Wynne , a liveryman of Port Jefferson , which was stabled in Squires' barn had been taken. The tracks led in the direction of Putchogue. It is supposed that part of the tools were taken from Tillotson ' s carriage shop as his door was found broken open in th e morning. Postmaster Dayton says he had an unusually large amount of stamps on ha nd and fully the usual amount of cash. BAY SHORE.

Last Thursday 's session of the Coun ty Court here before Coun ty Judge Reeve , the case against U. S. Grant Ryer , the Shinnecock Indian , who is charged with assaulting Mr. and Mr s. W. O. William- son of Southampton , was tried. Mr. Williamson is cashier of the Southampton Bank , and a brother of Herbert Williamson of Sayville. The assault upon him and his wife occurred on January 22 last , while they were asleep in their home. The story told by the witnesses was that some time after midnight some one , alleged to have been Ryer, entered their apartments and murderousl y assaulted them with some instrument , supposed to have 'been a sandbag , and choked them until they were both uncon scious. Mrs. William- son was awakened by the intruder en- tering the room and pluclril y grappled with the man , but was overpowered. Mr. Williamson 's jaw was dislocated. It was so dark that the man was not positively identified by either, bnt when Mr. and Mrs. Williamson called for help upon returnin g to consciousness , Grant Ryer responded immediately. The assailant was in his stocking feet and without coat or vest when the assault was committed , and this was the condition of Ryer when he responded to the cries of Mr. an d Mrs . Williamson . The next morn ing a piece of a stock- ing was found in the hall, near the door where the intruder left the sleeping room. The stockin gs worn by Ryer at the time he responded to the call of the Williamsons were obtained and from one of them a small piece was missin g. The piece found and the stockings were sent to Dr. Witthaus , in Manhattan , for examination and he testified that both were of the same wool , dye, etc. R yer denied flatl y all connection with the case, sayin g he was intoxicated that ni g ht, and when the crim e was com- mitted, was home and in bed. The evidence was all circum stantial in Ryer 's case and while everything pointed to- ward him as the cul prit the jury would not convict him and the fellow was discharged. The case against Erastns L. Clark , editor of the Riverhead Cou rier , accused of criminal libel in having used defam a- tory language concerning Harry Lee , who is the Riverhead corres pondent of certain metropolitan newspapers oc- cupied all of Frida y. Mr. Clark was tried before Jud ge Reeve an d a jury. Rowland Miles , counsel for the defend- ant , began by interposing a demurrer to the indictment and asked for more time. He said that Mr. Clark had not been allowed to plead, and that the indict- ment did not sta te whether the article alleged to have contained th e libel was printed or written. Court records were looked up and it was found that the defendant had pleaded not guilty. Then tho Court of Appeals ' decisions were looked over and it was found that the indictment was all ri ght , so Judge Reeve, on motion of District Attorney Jaycox , who appeared for the people , disallowed the demurrer, and ordered the case to go on. The testimony was then begun and the case lasted all clay. That evenin g, af ter being out about ten minutes , the jury broug ht iu a verdict of guilty , recommendin g the defendant to mercy. On account of the man ' s age his feeble health and on account of his family, Judge Reeve said he would only impose a fine of $50, which was paid. Before the adj ournm ent of the County Court on Saturday Judge Reeve sen- tenced Richard King, t he negro found guilty of stealin g a horse and outfit, and who pleaded his own case before the court , to five years in Sing Sing, the fall extent of the law.

One Man In u Boat. v On Wednesday morning of last week William C. Robbins, of this village, hoisted his sails and laid his course for Amityville. After spending the night there with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samnel Velsor, he crossed the bay to GOl go Inlet , working there -with other baymen until nearly dusk. The tide was running low and darkness settling, he ran the boat aground on a sand bar , all his eff orts to get her off resulted in getting the harder aground. The wea- ther grew steadily cplder and the boat soon became frozen m the ice. On ac- couut of a channel , perhaps ten feet deep, it was impossible to reach the life saving station. Robbing, expecting to stay but a few hours , had taken no water and was without food for more than two days. His suffering can bo imagined.

Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is the use of makin g a l. ietter article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it? Ans.—A s there is no difference in the price the public will buy onl y theli ?tter , so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will bo much greater in the aggre gate. How can you get the public to isnow your make is the bes t? If both articles are brough t promi- nen tly before the public both are ci . rtain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one . This explains the large sale .i on Chamberlain ' s Cough Remedy . The peop le have been using it for yearn and and have found that it can alwa ys be depended upon .

ley mad e memorabl e the first day ofthe Atlant a peace jubilee by a notableutterance in his speech before the jointse.=sion of the Georgia legislature yes-terday afternoon. His reception by thegeneral assembly was warm and heartyin the extrem e, and his speech was in-terrupted with frequent outbursts ofcheering. It is admitted on all sidesthat th e address marked an epoch inh.story and is on every lip.

I'pon the presid ent 's arrival at thecapital he v.as greeted with a field ar-tillery salute and was at once escortedto Governor Candler 's office. There ashort informal reception took place.l" pt .n its conclusion the president wasconducted to the assembly chamber ,v. here he occupied the speaker 's chair ,with Govern or Candler on his right.

When President Dodson of the senatecalled the legislature to order , t he gal-leries w-re thronged with men and wo-men. The body of the chamber wasv.-fli f.I ird with state senators and as-semblymen , while the uniforms of va-rious oiik-^TS and the governor 's staffgave a touch of brilliant color to thegath erin g. On the first row facing thespea k er sat Sec retaries Gage, Lo"g.Wilson and Smith and Secretary to thePresident Porter. Beside the speaker 'sdesk ar.d below the president were seat-ed Generals Wheeler . La vrtor. and Youngin full uniform . The speaker ra ppedfor silence and introduced the presi-dent to the audience after congratu-lati ng the state of Georgia upon thepresence of their distinguished guests.As the president rose the audience ap-plau ded. Durin g the course of hisshort speech Mr. Mc-Kinley referred tohis notes and constantly paused for thecheers to stop. A scene of intensr en-thusiasm followed when , amid im-pressive silence, these words fell fromthe lips of the president:

"Every soldier 's grave made duri ngthe civ:! war is a tribute to America n" alor . and while , when these graveswere mad- , we differed widely aboutthe future of the government , thosedifferenc es were long ago settlrd by thearbitram ent of arms, and the time hasnow- come, in the evolution of senti-ment and feeling under the providenceof God. when in th --> spirit of fraternit ywe should share w:th you in the careof the craves of the Confederate sol-

The President WIld J j - App lnnded .A wild cheer went up from every

throat in the typical southern audien ce—a cheer that echoed and reachedthrough the chamber until it was takenup by the crowd outside. Continuing,the pr esident said:

"Th ? cordia ] feej ii^e which now hap-ni!v exists betwee n the north and southpro mpts tn:s grac:ous act. ana it itneeded further justification it is foundin the gallant loyalty to the I ' nion andthe f.ag so conspicuously shown in theyear just past by the sons and grand-sons of these heroic dead.

"Sectional lines no longer mar themap of the I 'nited States. Sectionalfeeling no longer holds back the love¦we bear each other. Fraternity is thenational anthem , sung bv a chorus of45 states and our territories at homeand beyond the seas . The I 'nion isonce more the common atlas of ourlove and loyally , our devotion and sac-rifice. The old flag again waves overus in peace with new glories , whichyour sens and ours have this year add-ed to its sacred folds. "

Of all the conciliator y spe? "he? whichhave V-ern made since Grant said . "Lettn-re be p-sce. " nothing ha? more deep-ly stirred a s uthern audience than thesimple words of President McKinley inth e Georgia state house.

When Pr esident McKinley had con-cluded , the -- were loud cries for Wheel-er , an i -.vh-n that li t t le man got up, hish--::d sc:ir c .-:y higher than the speaker 'sd-.sk . the audience once more gave ventt ¦ wild enthusiasm.

Wa« Here at the Read of a Cotamt *-¦lon In the Interest of Cuba 's Inde-pendence—Remains Temporaril yLaid to Rest at Arlington.General Calixto Garcia, the distin-

guished Cuban warrior and leader andthe head of the commission elected bythe Cuban assembly to visit this coun-tr y, died in Washin gton Sunday at theHotel Raleigh , where the commiss ionhas its headquarters.

Expressions of sympathy were ten-dered by President McKinley and otherprominent persons .

General Garcia , whose name will beever linked with those of other patriotswho have fought against unequal oddsfor the freedom of his country, has hada most active and varied life, much ofwhich has been spent In fighting for thecause of Cuban liberty, which he hadthe satisfaction of seeing accomplishedso short a time before his death. Hewas a man of culture and refinement ,of splendid education and came from adistinguished family of Jaiquani , in San-tiago province. He was born in Cog-quin Oct. 14, 1839, and was therefore Inhis sixtieth year.

Leader In the Former War.General Garcia was educated in Ha-

vana and in Spain. In 1864 he was mar-ried to Isabel Velez. General Garcia wasthe original conspirator in the uprisingof the Cubans against Spain in 1868, andin that war under Gomez he attainedthe rank of brigadier general.

GENERAL GARCIA EXPIRES IN AWASHINGTON HOTEL.

In October of 1868 he captured thetowns of Jaiquani and Baire and ' re-cruited many hundreds of patriots. Hehad command of the eastern depart-ment during the revolution after 1873and won many notable victories , in-cluding those at Melones and Aures.

GENERAL GARCIA.While the revolution was in a criticalstate in the other provi nces and its out-come was uncertain he maintained itwith vigor in the territories under hiscommand. In 1875, wh ile reconnoiteringwith his escort , he was surrounded by2,000 Spaniards.

Preferring death to capture and sub-sequent execution at the hands of hisenemy, he attempted suicide by placinghis revolver under his chin and firing.The bullet came out between his eye-brows. For months he lay between lifeand death , but was saved finally bySpanish surgeons , who possibly owedtheir own lives to his mercy. TheSpaniards , be lieving him about to die,gave him a pardon .

For his participation in the rev olu-tionary movement General Garcia wassent to Spain , where for four years hewas confined in castles and fortresses ,rema ining there until the peace of ZanJon . He then returned to the UnitedStates and together with Jose Marti at-tempted another revolution. He landedin Cuba with a few followers , but thecountry was tired of war and wantedto try the home rule offered by Spain.He capitulated to the Spanish forces inorder to save his few remaining follow-ers and was again banished to Spain In1880. where he remained under surveil-lance until 1S95, when the last revolu-tion broke out in Cuba. Then he es-caped to France and later to New York.

His Return to Cuba.His movements since that time and

his active participation in the war arefamiliar to newspaper readers. Aftercoming to this country he endeavoredto get an expedition to the island of Cu-ba in the steamer Hawkins , but thismet with shipwreck In a storm , and thecargo was lost. General Garcia was thelast man to leave the vessel. Undaunt-ed by his failure . General Garcia madeanother attempt to ship stores for theInsurgents , this time obtaining the shipBermuda. He was Intercepted , howev-er , by United States authorities andwas arrested on the charge of filibuster-ing, but was released on $3,000 ball. Heforfeited this bail and in a final attemptlanded on the eastern coast of the is-land with one of the largest expeditionsthat ever reached Cuba. After landinghe succeeded General Antonio Maceo incomman d of the troops of the easterndepartment , holding the rank of majorgeneral . General Maceo marchin g westwith his men.

At Maceo 's dea th Garcia was electedlieutenant general of the Cuban arm y,which position he held to the close ofthe war. During this command he as-saulted and took by sl*ge Tunas , Gulsaan d Gualmaro and cleared the interiorof his department of Spanish troo ps.After declaration of war between theUnited States and Spain , General Miles,commanding the American army, senthis representative to General Garciaand subsequentl y the American and Cu-ban generals co-operated in their move-ments against Santia go.

AH the officers who participated In theactive work around Santia go bear testi-mony to the grea t aid, assistance andloyalty manifested by General Garc iadurin g the campaign. When the Cubanassembly met at the close of the war .General Garcia was one of the principaladvisers and was elected chairman ofthe commission directed to come to theUnited States and confer with the au-thorities in Washington with referenceto the work in hand.

The funeral of General Garcia washeld In St. Patrick 's church Tuesda ymorn ing, after which the body of theold hero was committed to a vault inArlington National cemetery, hut willlater he removed for final Interment toCuba - The obsequies were atte ndedwith military and civic honors. Thefuneral ora tion was» pronounced byArchbishop John Ireland.

CUBAN HERO'S DEATH RIOTING IN HAVANASeveral Killed In Encounters Be-

tween Spaniards and Cabana. .The closing days of Spain's rule In

Havana are being marked with blood-shed and disorder. There are frequentexhibitions o£ bitter hat red betweenSpan iards and Cubans , and on Sundaynight there occurred an encounter Inwhich three Cubans are reported tohave been killed and several wounded.The following details are furnished inpr ess dispatch es from Havana:

After the news of General Garcla 'sdeath spread through Havana earlySunday evenin g the Cubans wished tohave all the places of amusement closed.They succeeded In closing two placesfrequent ed by Cubans , but the man-agement of the Tacon theater refusedto close the house.

Allegrette , a former captain of insur-gent troops , got into an excited argu-ment with the manager of the theaterand a Spanish officer , who struck himacross tbe face with the flat of hissword. Then there was a collision be-tween the Cubans and the Spanish mil-itary men.

Suddenly a shot was fired , and th«Cubans retrea ted into the Hotel In-glaterra. More shots were fired onboth sides, and Arturo Tuzet , a Frenchcitizen born in Havana , was shot andseriously wounded. Still raore shotswere fired , and the Cubans ran throughthe hotel office and made their way upstairs. Jesus Sotolonga , a Cuban , fellwounded on the stairs, and ano theiwoun ded man broke Into the room oc-cupied by Lieutenant Fitz-Hugh Lee,demanding protection.

General Greene and several membersof his staff , who had been out on abalcony watching the crowd , heard theuproar in the hotel and went Into thecorridor. As soon as the Spanish offi-cers saw General Greene , who was Inuniform , they stopped the pursuit of theCubans , saluted and retired.

At the time the Cubans and pursuingSpaniards ran through the Hotel In-glaterra General Humphreys was In thelobby talking with Major Martin otGeneral Greene 's staff and other gen-tlemen. A bullet shattered a mirroinear which they stood , and two otherssplintered the staircase.

R. S. Howland, editor of the Provi-dence Journal , and W. L. Riley, a NewYork contractor , were jostled by thesudden rush of shouting and fightingmen. The violent scenes in the offic:an d on the stairs lasted , however , fora few minutes only.

On Monday morning there was an-other encounter in the streets of Ha-vana , In which several prominent Cu-bans were wounded. About 9 o'clockv.hen a funeral procession which wasescorting the hearse containing the re-mains of Jesus Sotolongo , who was killed Sunday night, reached the corner oiInfanta and San Jose streets , a violentaffra y took place between members otthe funeral party and some employeesof the military hospital and Spanishsoldiers. The following were wounded:Dr. Betancourt . Cuban deputy for Santiago de Cuba; Rafael Portuendo , Cuban deputy; the Cuban general Vidal.the Cuban colonel Armando Rives;Francisco Lucas Blanca, a Spania rd;Raymon Garcia , a Spaniard , and threewomen and two children.

Tbe Woman and the Directory."1 hav e been amused many a time . "

taid a clerk in a drug store , "to notetho way women consult the directoryThey never turu swiftly to a name likea man, skipping down through the al-phabetical subclnssification , but poreDver it by sections , as if it were a novel .If a man doesn 't find a name exactlywhere it onght to be, he stops instantlyand walks off , bnt a woman will exam-ine everything under that letter beforeEhe gives up. Moreover , she is eure tobe reminded of other peop le in thecourse of the search and never fails tolook them up also.

"A lady came in one morning, satdown and opened the book . She wouldlinger over one part for awhile and thenturn to another , keeping tho placeswith her fingers and bene apparentl y oureading the whole thing. Meanwhile atleast half a dozen men collected behindher, all waiting impatiently to get achance at the volume. Ac last she tnrnedaround and was startled to see thecrowd ' Are yoa quite through , madam? 'asked one of the men. 'Oh , yes, ' ehe re-plied, 'I was just running through it tosee who was there. ' It's an everydayoccurrence for women to come in towait for a car and get so interested intbe directory tbat they miss a dozen orso. The book seems to have a weird fas-cination for the Eex. "—New OrleansTimes-Democrat.

"A Dangerous Han. "Here is a story illustrative of the

ignorance of tbe colonies that once pre-vailed in the colonial office and is notyet entirely banished from Downingstreet. As we all know, the late LordCarnarvon, when colonial secretary,officially recorded his opinion of SirGorge Grey so "a dangerous man." SirCharles Gavan Duffy, on one of hisvisits from Victoria , called upon LordCarnarvon in Downing street, and inconversation chanced to introduce areference to Sir George Grey.

"A very strange and comprehensiblecharacter," said Lord Carnarvon, witha shake of the bead. "I hear he hasnow withdrawn to an island off 'thecoast of New Zealand and surroundedhimself with a number of wallabies."

"Ob, yes; I think that is not at ailimprobable," replied Sir Charles.

"You surprise me," rejoined LordCarnarvon. " What must be the state ofmorality in a country where yon makeligh t of snch a proceeding?"

"Why, my lord, what do yon sup-pose a wallaby to be?"

"A half caste female, of course. Iathat not so?"

"Certainly not ; a wallaby is simplya small kangaroo."—London Chronicle.

Stati stics of Marriage.The chances at birth that baby will

eventually marry are 9 in 20, or ratherless than one-half- This result may seemsurprising, bat it is largely accountedfor by the great mortality of persons un-der marriageable age,; especially of in-fants up to the age of 5. No fewer than88 per cent of babies die before they are5 • years old, and 44 per cent of tbewhole population before the age of 18In Englandi as in this country, accord-ing to belief, the females outnumber tbemales.

Out of every 100 persons now living,60 are single, 35 are married and 5 arewidowed. So thai on. tbe average 1 per-son in every 80 you meet in tbe streets,in the train, or wherever it may be,will be either a widow or a widower,and 8 out of 5 will be unmarried. InEngland an average hnsband and wifeon their wedding day may expeot to livetogether for .1? years, in Prance only 28,in Holland and Belgium 23, bnt in Rus-sia 80.—Nev? York Home journal.

TWO CRACKSMEN "

The Safe Blown hut the Men DisturbedBefor e Any Booty was S . ..red.They Fire -on an OHIcer , Steal aHorse and Sleigh and Escape.The Port Jefferson post , office was

broken into by cracksmen on Monda ynight and the safe was wrecked bnt therobbers secured no booty ; They firedtwo shots at the night watchman andthen made their escape.

The shots were intended for theofficer, but it was only by chance thatthe Assistant Postmaster was not evena better target. He frequently goesinto the office late at night to make upthe morning mail , and it is not uncom-mon for him to sleep ther e. On Mon-day night he at tended a masqueradeparty and before leaving remarked thathe would stop in the office. This wasabout 13:80 o'clock. He went directl yhome, however. Undoubtedl y the bur-glars were at work on the safe at thotime, and had he entered by the . reardoor, as usual, he would have met withthe same reception as tho officer.

ENTER THE PORT JEFFERSON POST OFFICE.

Officer Brown passed the office about2 o'clock and seeing a light took it forgranted that Mr. Dayton was at hispost. To make suns, he tried the door,and called to the assistant. The burg-lars were prompt with a reply firingtwo .88-calibre shots, one of whichpassed through the glass door and theother lodging in the- door frame. Bothwere fired through the curtain and asthe latter was powder stained, thethieves had a close range. The nightwatchman immediately summoned as-sistance, but in the meantime the burg-lars escaped through the rear door, thesame through which they entered.

Postmaster Dayton and ConstableWalker were called and on examinationfound that the safe door had been blownopen but nothing taken from the safe oriu fact disturbed about the office. Theforce of the explosion had forced the in-side door in so tightly that it was im-possible to get it open before the alarmwas given. A jimmy, a new carpenter'sbrace, a cheap dark lantern, an oldhammer and an iron bar were left andthe tracks in the snow indicated thatthe men had gone toward tho railroadstation.

Next morning C. A. Squires, Post-master at Echo, found that his barn hadbeen opened during the night and thathis harness and sleigh and a horse be-longing to A. L. Wynne, a liveryman ofPort Jefferson , which was stabled inSquires' barn had been taken. Thetracks led in the direction of Putchogue.

It is supposed that part of the toolswere taken from Tillotson's carriageshop as his door was found broken openin the morning.

Postmaster Dayton says he had anunusually large amount of stamps onhand and fully the usual amount ofcash.

THE 'OOUNTY COURTEditor Clark Fined $50; Ryer Ac-

quitted.Last Thursday's session of the Coun ty

Court here before Coun ty Judge Reeve,the case against U. S. Grant Ryer , theShinnecock Indian , who is charged withassaulting Mr. and Mr s. W. O. William-son of Southampton , was tried.

Mr. Williamson is cashier of theSouthampton Bank , and a brother ofHerbert Williamson of Sayville. Theassault upon him and his wife occurredon January 22 last , while they wereasleep in their home. The story told bythe witnesses was that some time aftermidnight some one, alleged to have beenRyer, entered their apartments andmurderously assaulted them with someinstrument , supposed to have 'been asandbag , and choked them until theywere both uncon scious. Mrs. William-son was awakened by the intruder en-tering the room and pluclril y grappledwith the man , but was overpowered.Mr. Williamson 's jaw was dislocated.It was so dark that the man was notpositively identified by either, bnt whenMr. and Mrs. Williamson called forhelp upon returnin g to consciousness ,Grant Ryer responded immediately.The assailant was in his stocking feetand without coat or vest when theassault was committed , and this wasthe condition of Ryer when he respondedto the cries of Mr. and Mrs . Williamson .

The next morn ing a piece of a stock-ing was found in the hall, near the doorwhere the intruder left the sleepingroom. The stockin gs worn by Ryer atthe time he responded to the call of theWilliamsons were obtained and fromone of them a small piece was missing.The piece found and the stockings weresent to Dr. Witthaus , in Manhattan , forexamination and he testified that bothwere of the same wool, dye, etc. Ryerdenied flatly all connection with thecase, saying he was intoxicated thatnight, and when the crime was com-mitted, was home and in bed. Theevidence was all circum stantial in Ryer 'scase and while everything pointed to-ward him as the culprit the jury wouldnot convict him and the fellow wasdischarged.

The case against Erastns L. Clark ,editor of the Riverhead Cou ri er , accusedof criminal libel in having used defam a-tory language concerning Harry Lee ,who is the Riverhead corres pondent ofcertain metropolitan newspapers oc-cupied all of Frida y. Mr. Clark wastried before Jud ge Reeve an d a jury.Rowland Miles , counsel for the defend-ant, began by interposing a demurrer tothe indictment and asked for more time.He said that Mr. Clark had not beenallowed to plead, and that the indict-ment did not state whether the articlealleged to have contained the libel wasprinted or written. Court records werelooked up and it was found that thedefendant had pleaded not guilty. Thentho Court of Appeals ' decisions werelooked over and it was found that theindictment was all ri ght, so JudgeReeve, on motion of District AttorneyJaycox , who appeared for the people ,disallowed the demurrer, and orderedthe case to go on. The testimony wasthen begun and the case lasted all clay.That evening, af ter being out about tenminutes , the jury broug ht iu a verdictof guilty , recommendin g the defendantto mercy. On account of the man 's agehis feeble health and on account of hisfamily, Judge Reeve said he would onlyimpose a fine of $50, which was paid.

Before the adj ournm ent of the CountyCourt on Saturday Judge Reeve sen-tenced Richard King, the negro foundguilty of stealin g a horse and outfi t,and who pleaded his own case beforethe court , to five years in Sing Sing, thefall extent of the law. Henry Mitchelland Herbert Smith were both sentenc edto the Elmira Reformator y.
