The day comes when they have ar- ranged to go, and still Lady Leigh is ignorant of the name of the man whose house she intends to inspect. She deer. not lilo, to ask again for fear of amusing suspicion, but she feels a strange excitement as they drive " ong the road, and is half afraid to an- alyze or inquire even of herself what the cause can be. 7 "Who is the owns-rt" asks Lady Leigh, and the crucial question once put. she donmtly wishes iI. unsaid. for Mr. Meade has followed, and is again hessbte them with his irritating smile.

In the meantime Lady Leigh hat, Numbered on to the window sill with- out oasistance, and has jumped into the room with the ngility of a. schna- girl, then turning round she bids the young men follow.

Lady Leigh listrns to all but says nothing. She talks more on their homeward way, and mentions casually that she was feeling unwell when she left. so abruptly, confessing that she was a little unnerved at seeing any one In mrmm which she had naturally expected to find empty, and which might reasonably be supposed. from its antirmilv, to possesa at. least one. ghost to haunt its walls.

But svurcely had she crept in and drawn‘the three children after her when another shell. leaning the cannon’s mouth at Kalatat nearly two miles away. dropped into the same hole, and blew mother and children to atoms. To the Turks the grim ex- ception was a vivid illustration of their doctrine of kismit, or fate. The woman's hour had come; kismet led her into that hole; it was the place assigned for her departure fromesrth. Another shell struck the angle of . house. tore down the wells. and re- duced one-hell of e room to ruins. In the other half of the room' were a.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE UNITED STATES, SPAIN AND CUBA. THE m NATIONS MI WAR Spain's peace army comprises 350,000 men, while that of the United States is only 30,000. Bat on a war footing the United States would have 3.000.000 soldiers, twice as many as Spain. which would have 1,500,000. In area the United States is ten times as large as Spain, Uncle Sam's terri- tories including 3,632,990 square miles against 366,076 in the country rated by Alfonso and the queen regent. Spain has 25,600,000 population. That of the United States is 74,500,000, two and a half times greater. The tonnage of the armored vessels built and huilding owned by the United States is 152,000 tons, while that of Spain is 90,000 tons. The United State" is than 1.7 larger, and this does not include the old monitors. In unarmorod displacements, includ- ing gunhoats under 500 tons displace- ment. the United States is twice as strong. having 100,000 Lona while Spain has but 50,000 tons. 'i'he tonnage of the merchant steam vassels flying the American flag is l,- 200,000 tons. against 314,000 tons tor Spain, the United States exceeding Spain nearly four to one in this re- Spain has one-third more torpedo craft than the United States, its fleet numbering twenty-seven vessels while the United States has twenty -0ne. IN COMMERCE the United States is five and " half times as great as Spain, having a. for- eign trade of $1,800,000JKM, while that of Spain is but $345,000,000. The two countries have about the same debt-81,R00,000,000. The first organized attempt made by the Spaniards to colonize Cuba was in 1511 by Diego Velasquez. who brought over a small force from Santa Domin- go, the large island to the rust of Cuba. Velasquvz was a typical Spanish con- queror. and resorted at once to typi- cal Spanish methods. The, gentle and simple natives were frightened when they saw the Spaniards on horseback, and [led before them. Velasquez pur- suedthem amltrrarnped them beneath his horses' hoots. Cubs. was discovered by Columbus on his first voyage, in 1192. In the course of the. tirat fifty years after Velasquez settled Cuba the nu- tive population of 500,000 beings was swept away and extprminaUsd. Spain has already restricted the commerce of the island, with a, view to reaping all its benefits herself. she forced the inhabitants to draw from Spain most of their supplies of all kinds by imposing prohibitory duties on tht product? of other nations. Spain has occupied Cuba for 387 years. except that its capital, Havana, was captured by the English in 1762. The British ships engaged in that con- quest were chiefly manned by Ameri- can colonists, who enlisted in the colonies of the Atlantic. seaboard. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware and Virginia. - - .. . .. One insurrection has followed anoth- er since the first organized outbreak against the Spanish power in 18:56. In each war the Spaniards have practiced the most on the Curans, but never until the present war has there been an organiz- edand deliberate attempt made to ex- terminate the women and children as well as the male residents of the ia- land. The governor general of Calm is en- dowed by law with despotic power. He is even authorized to diarvgard the laws of Spain, which are applicable lo Cuba at his pleasure. In fact, his will is the only law of the Cubans. and all the judges. police officials, civil offi- cers and military aria his creatures. The area of Calm is estimated at $5.883 square miles. including the ad- jacent Isla de Pinon. the smaller is- lands and keys. The population in 1890 was 1,631,687. Sixty-five percent of the population is ohite, and the rest. negroes. millattoes and Chinese. Havana has a population of 250,000. Other Important cities are: Mammal. 87.760; Santiago dts Cuba, 71307; Cien- {11ng. 65.067. and Puerto Principe, MI, ll. . THE PUBLIC DEBT of Cuba before the war was $133,000,000. The so-called debts of 1878 and 1880, and the floating debt up to 1886, amounting to "4,000,000, " ere conso- lidated by royal decree. The annual income of the inhabitants is estimated at 8m,000,000.
