J caused one shell to be filled with cotton waste 1n the front end, and much better fesults were ob- tained, the stiot penetrating six plates, before the explosion occurred. This showed that it was lin portant to determine with accuracy both the time ‘and place of the explosion. Frou 6 to 10 pounds Of dynamite were used. I was prevented from larger charges because of the breaking of windows and shattering of plastering trom te-ex- 1m the houses on the shores. ‘In the 4-Inch we tried an automatic Valve that worked per- , Insuring accuracy.

While the captain was talking nis assistant were engaged in throwing stereopticon views of the gun and of certain of the experiments he men- Uoned upon the wall of the room. One of the ‘ures Was that of the gun just after fring. The list spoken of appeared somewhat like a person Dreath on a frosty morning, and had the wall been a little ionger the captatn said that the shell might | hae been seen in Might “The aif pressure.” continued the captain, “in ‘what are known as the “firing reservoirs’ is from 9 100 pounds, While there are supply reser- ‘Yuirs that coptall air at 2,000 pounds.

If it should ever be deprived of that hope the effects of coercion in aggravating soctal disorders would become painfully apparent. Mr, Balfour, referring to statistics, sald thenum- ber of persons tried under Ube crimes act was 659, of Whoin 229 were acquitted. In 1886 Ube number of agrarian offenses reached a Lotal of 2196, while 1m 1887 the Lotal was only 1,837. ‘The Stauistics of boycotting especially showed the striking results of the crimes act. He claimed that the figures ad- duced justiied coercion, and proved that the gov- ernment’s policy had béen successful.

Mr. Geo. de B. Kelm, president of the coal and iron company, also sent MF. Hayes a letter, saying: “We are willing to dis- cuss tue gaestion Of wages with any person. repre. senting the men actually in the service of the com- pany. “When the uiiners return to work, If a con lerence upon the question of wages’ should be desired on their part, we suall be ready to confer | With them, with the understanding tuat no basis different from the one already in existence will be | established that will require tts company to pay more for labor for Lue same class of work than 1s paid by its competitors.” ‘Talk of Another Operation, Keen interest was felt in Berlin yesterday in the dispatches from San Remo, There was a great popular demonstration of sympathy in front of the | imperial palace.

Pract. cally beginning at Parque de la Punta at the seashore, ti extends almost due south to the center of the city, and thence at a right angle West, Unrough the residence portion, terminat- ing at the foot of a hill surrounded by the for- Ufled Castilio del Principe, where most delight- ful suburban calzadas and pascos, leading” 40 pretty villas and villages, are found. ‘THE YRADO is in imitation ofgthe grand prado at Madrid, and with its rich stretch of green-sward broken only by un occasional marbig fountain, and its splendid shaded promenades at either side, 1t comes up nobly from the sea to the beautiful ue _Cen- tral, with tts spacious Walks, parterres, its foun- talns, the Lapa d pg of which ts La Fuenta de la Tudia or the fountain of India, executed tn Italy at fabulous cost and representing an Indian maiden, allegorical of Havana, supporting ashield bearing the arms of the city. Just beyond this, to ‘the southwest, comes the fa‘nous Campo de Marte, formerly a drill and parade ground for the Spanish sokdiery. It 1s now Jaid out into broad walks and carriage crossings, and is surrounded by a high iron fence with colossal gates, This es ment was made under the government of Gen. ‘Tacon, the most hated and praised of Cuban rniers, ‘The four great gates to the campo, which are flanked by Immense square pillars, are called the gates of Columbus, Of Cortez, of Pizarro and of ‘Tacon, THE CUBAN CHAMPS ELYSEES. Turning to the west from Cainpo del Marte, you enter the magnificent Calzada de la Reina, a mile in iength, the continuation of which at the rand statue of Carlos III, forms the equally splen- did Pasco de Tacon, also amile tn length, ‘The calzada abd pasco ure one and the saine thing, and are to Havana What the Champs Elysées 1s to Paris, though here is no noble Bots de Boulogne to Jullll’ the promise of a majestic Arc de Triomphe, Indeed the Plaza de Toros, where the greavest Cuban Duil-tiguts occur, 13’ the most important olnt of interest to which the grand way leads, But at its right are some fine Cuban Villas, inciud~ ing the country-seat of San Ignacio andthe Quinta de los Molinos, or the governor-general’s villa, as also the infantry barracks and the botanical gar- den, Besides these parks and ways there is the weird old plaza, rire with an hundred sad romances ot tue profligate aristocracy, Cortina de Valdés, over there by the Boqueia wail, as tragic a spot as ever was beaten by the sea, all under the shadow of (he old cathedral; the little park of San Juan de Dios, for all the World like a dainty nest drop- ped among lilitputian balconies; and the Alaineda, de Paula, that jike the alamedas of many Jtaifan cities by the Mediterranean, bringing to the very | ocean's brink the glories of fled aud forest, skirts the harbor away to the south, opulently carry ‘the splendors of the tropics to the very presence the busy maritime life of the bay. IN THE PARKS. By day the parks are charming with color, sun shine and melody, Which you tay enjoy almost wholly by yourself. Possibly there may be hete and thére seen an old Chinese servitor picking and pruning about a bil, who ts too deat Lo hear and Loo old to talk; or another foreigner, like yourself, Who sits about, Dig-eyed and open-tnouthied, a tf wondering Where are the thousands who should enjoy these glories for their vodies’ and souls’ sake; or a beggar who has crept in here fora quiet rest from the rattle and clatter of the street; rarely, @ nifiera or nursemaid with a child oF ‘Wo, Who'sit in decorous quiet where there should | be lite and gladness; and with all the beauty and songful sound about you, you feel something as one inight If set down in a heaven which had just hada moving day. But you do thus have’ op- portunity to feast upon the delight in these won- erful trees and flowers, from palin to pendant campanile, And when night comes you then learn that the day—tie day of life and beauty here—has Just begun. All Havana Js 1p the parks and cafés OF on the housetops at night, AS the sun goes down it seems as though from every quarter come thousands for the nightly outing. Me streets. plazas, abd cafés dazzle with light Haring from the qualntest of burners and. fr and the brililant-colored glass, so universally and Fichiy used tn decoration, adds. beauty and charm Vw countless pleasing scenes. THERE 18 MUSIC EVERYWHERE. Here tn half-lighted, richly-decorated balcony is group of men and women chatting in low, must- cal tones, or listening to sweet notes of the guitar, Jn this entrada, with a court filled with rich lights, plants, flowers, and quaint corridors be- lund, in an atinost, oriental, Dackground are per- haps several families seated half out upon ‘the Street, “and among them somewhere 1s music. Here, there and everywhere upon the house among luxuriant gardens, are merry crowds, sing- ng; playing, oF dancing.” The halt lights Of tie night hide ‘aud reveal. Sound and light and Suadow iningle Until the ear and sight are ravished by What is heard and seen, and what 13 listened for and heard in thought. ‘Slelody in word, Laugh ‘and song, and from musical instruments of every nature ahd Ln every place—nothing loud and sond- rous, but everything soft and dreamful—pulses in hartouious chords above and over and through the streets, You may be alone and not of it, as I am, but it is all-compassing and it ‘you. You know it not; yet it has in Je the loving faintit- arity of the universal voice of mirth and music, 1v1S in a strange Longue; yet it Js as plain to you as the untaugt joy of ‘childhood, you ‘are ‘within the inluence and charm of three hundred thousand souls given up wholly to delicious dalliance, taclodious words and sounds, to the haif-Lone’S of coquettish pleasure, to the eloquence of bright eyes, and the passtonate passiveness of night 1n tropic land, where nature glows beneath, as Klow the stars above, ‘THE CITY AT NIGHT. ‘The whole city 13.98 a fairy land at night, It 1s the more bewildering to the beholder, because there arein It one-mlndedness and one-heartedness that make melody and gatety not only with the Well conditioned, but a3 truly within the grimy Walls of the chafcoal-man’s little stall; down at the waterside among the swarthy botéros; over their in Regla with the toll-scourged stevédores brilliantly lighted by electric ights and warmed by steam, ‘The smoking-car is elegantly fitted up ‘with cushioned arm-chairs, contains a lbrary, writing tables, &c, ‘The train ts supplied with everything necessary for comfort and ease, and there ts no necessity to leave it during the entire trip to Jacksonville. Contrary to the usual cus- Lom of tourists who tatry for awhile at Jackson- ville, We, arriving promptly on time, crossed the ferry, and taking the St. Augustine ‘train arrived in the ancient city in one and a half hours from the former place, and went immediately to the magnificent hotel, Ponce de Leon, Judging from tae exterior view'T shou.’ think ft Moorish 1m design, although It may >.

INTERIOR OF A FINE HOTEL. Entering by a covered way we ascended to the main floor and to the rotunda with elaborate carved columns and floors inlaid with rare tiles, ‘The 1d parlor, about 100 feet in length, 1s di- versified with arches and pillars which add greatly to the effect and the same oriental design 13 seen here in the frescoing, furnishings aud’ oll paint- ings Superb onyx tables, vases and other Works of artare tastefully distributed about tbe vast room. The dining-room is probably the finest in the World. It 1s & wing connected by an arcade Uo the main building, oval in suape and lighted on all sides as well as fromthe dome. The room ts made decidedly attractive by alcoves and magsive columns, and here was noted the clean-shaved faces of ‘the German waiters, evidenuy none al- lowed to wear moustache or whiskers except the head waiter and his two assistants, which custom migut well be copied by other establishments, ‘Three things were noticeable in this hotel—the entire absence of mirrors ‘and clocks, except in ‘Wash-rooms, and cut flowers, although beauuful Vases Were waiting to hold them, and we were in the land of flowers. ‘Of the attraction for visitors in the quaint old city I will mention a sail to North Beach, with its Coquina formation, and Anastacia Island, with its unique horse-cars, the museum, &c. We noted many Ane buildings in process of erection which shows St. Augustine will grow more and more in favor as a Wiuter resort with its soft baliny air and refreshing sea breeze. The old catuearal, burned last season, 1s being rebuilt on “a larger Seale, With its unique front and old Spanish bells stil preserved. Of course the old San Marco Fort 1s always Of special interest to strangers. ON TO PALATKA. After a sojourn here of three days we passed on to Palatka and the Putnam Hotel, where the genial host, Barron, the proprietor of four of the principal hotels in the White Mountains, meets all guests with a welcome at the door. We were struck with the air of comfort on entering. A bright wood fire was burning in the fire-piace, easy chairs ready for tired travelers, and the wails looked bright and cheery, with decorations of au- tuna leaves, ferns aud evergreens from the White Mountain region, put up with taste in parlors, ‘hauls and ai 1g-room. As we had yeurs before enjoyed two trips up the Ocklawaha, We ““atented ourselves With @ visit to Mr, Hart's fine orange grove across the St, Johns, and then sought for new and unexpiored fleids to us, taking the railroad recently opened to Daytona on the Halifax River, This region, like the Indian River, ts noted for it fine oranges. Daytona is pleasantly situated on the banks of the Halltax River, a shallow and sluggish stream, about three- fourths Of a mile wide, and only separated trom ‘Ubé ocean by a narrow peninsula, Crossing this you come to one of the Mnest beaches | have ever seen, so hard and stmooth you can drive over it for 30 miles. ALOrmond, a few miles above, is a new hotel, with all modern conveniences, located on the peninstla, Where one can enjoy the view of oid ocean, With the surf rolling in on one side avd the river on the other. A steamer ruus from here at uncertain intervals down the river, connecting with Indian River by means of @ caiial and so to Titusville and Rock Ledge. A BIG FISH STORY. Some Canadian capitalists have recently pur- chased the charter of a company for opening in- land water communication from st. Augustine some 300 miles south, which when completed will afford cheap transportation for produce and open a region rich with tropical fruits which has been but litte known. From here we went by rail to Enterprise, and On the rear of the train found the elegant private car of Mrs. Pullman with her lai Party and servants traveling Ubrough Florida for Pleasure. ‘The Brock House at Enterprise ts pleas- jantly located in the taidat of orange groves on the east shore of Lake George, and ts the headquarters for hunting aud fishing ‘in this region, Mere we met ex-Alderman Kernan, of New York, Who has been coming many winters for along stay and to enjoy fishing. He keeps a record of his catches, Last season he caught with the hook about 33 About 14s miles from here ts the elegant Mr. Frederic De Barry, an acquaintance of standing, and Who extended to us a royal ‘welcome and "generous hospitality.

From his article the following 1s taken: ‘The Emperor William is generally seen ‘wearing the iron cross and the star of the most distinguished order of the Black Eagle, Emperor Francis Joseph invartably wears the decoration of the order of the Golden Fleece, it betng one of the regulations of the order that every knight belong- pig Moe oe vate. iar a the Russian order ot St. George'to wear the But Cannon has rivalson the waxed floor.

A Stockholm letter in the Sweedish paper, Sean: | dinavia, published in Worcester, Mass., on the | 3d Inst, says: The question of Prince Oscar's mar- | rlage with Froken Ebba Munck has of late been | the subject of conversation in all circles in the | capital, and isa very interesting one. In former days, when a prince of royal blood flamed up for a girl of lower birth, it usually ended with a match— a left-handed one; that 1s, she became a kind of le- galized mistress, "In our’ time even princes seem to have learned that royalty’s glittering emblems are not anything to hold to, but like other mortals they go out and seek a bride where the heart makes its chotee. Prince Oscar—tf it 1s true that he intends to take off his princely crown and lay it at Froken Munck’s feet—acts lke a sensible young man, who places domestic happiness higher than briliant misery. If King Oscar hesitates to give his consent to his son's choice he acts both unwisely and wrongly. ‘And, besides, Queen Victoria has furnished an ex- ample in the matter of her daughter's marriage, whlch can be a precedent in this case. ‘The issue of the little romance isawaited here with deep n- terest, Froken Ebba Munck, who was born in 1858, 1s the daughter of the late Col, Carl Jacob Munck, of Fuiksta, and his wife, Baroness Henrietta Ulrika.

That Froken Munck 1s a beauty of the first rank there 48 no doubt. When she, as maid of honor, accom- panted the crown princess last year to the German court, the ola Emperor William 1s suid to have ex- ressed his especial admiration of the northern auty.
