SPANISH PARTY L. clues.
Annexation to United States Favored.
Army Disbandment Hindered.
HAVANA, April 13.—Marquis de Ra-
bell announces the formation of a Span-
ish party in Cuba under the honorary
presidency of Marquis de Aguelles, the
richest man in the island and the prob-
able future representative -of Spain
here, although not yet officially ac-
credited. -About 30 prominenr“ Span-
iards in and out [cf Havana \, —.e called
into conference, and the annexation of
Cuba to the United States is the unani-
mous desire of these gentlemen, al-
though no-reference is made to this in
their general address .to the Spaniards
in Cuba, as they regard it inexpedient
to agitate the questiOn just now and
thereby to cause still greater political
unrest. . ’ '
At an opportune 'time the subject will
be taken up and vigorously advocated.
The address of the new party, which is
signed by Marquis de Rabell, is en—
tirely devoid of political references and
simply announces the fact of organiza-
tion and the election of‘officers, all of
whom are men of prominence.
It asserts, however, as the controlling
feature of the party’s programme, a de-
sire to promote the peace and pros-
perity of Cuba, to which the members
of the party are “bound by the most
sacred ties,” and it earnestly advises all
Spaniards here to “act nobly together in
upholding the honor, dignity and tra-
ditions of Spain.”
The American authorities are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily in the work of
preparing independent lists of the Cu-
ban soldiers entitled to share in the
distribution of the 533,000,000. The spe-
cial committee of the late military as—
sembly 'has not yet delivered the mus:
ter rolls to Governor General Brooke.
although these are expected shortly.
Following their old policy, the obstruc-
tionists will probably refrain from de-
livering the rolls until the Americans
really have no need of them.
The Cubans have taken no steps for
disbanding the 'army, and General
Brooke is waiting to hear from General
Gomez in the matter. The announce-
'nient is made that the Cuban general
will consult with General Brooke today
and decide upon the method of dis—
banding.

43E When DeWey Comes
1E - By George 'Ade
"5 NCE in‘awhile I gee something
funny in a, newspaper, and this
is the greatest joke of the century,”
said Mr. Sweet, up at our boarding
house. .He was looking at the morning
paper, which was folded and propped
against the sirup pitcher in front of
him. As he spoke he seemed almost
pleased. The expression of saturninc
ferocity softened into one of malignant
glee.
Miss Baxter, the art student, Mr.
Crosby, of the wholesale grocery, and
Miss Dixon, the stenographer, looked
up in surprise. No wonder. Mr. Sweet
did not often praise any Work of man.
He had an especial contempt for puns
and witticisms. He winced at the
repartee which sent the young women 5
into hysterical giggling. Therefore, for 5
Mr. Sweet to say that he had found
something funny was altogether out of
the ordinary and for him to give the ,
opinion that a certain joke was the
“greatest of the century” was simply .
astounding. _
“For goodness’ sake, read it to us,
Mr. Sweet!” said Miss Baxter. “I didn’t
‘v . .
know that you
cared for jokes. If
is funny it must be
“I don’t care for
a joke unless it is

week after you read it, a joke that will
present new and humorous aspects
every time you take up the study of it.”
“I never heard that kind of a joke,”
said Miss Dixon. “I just, laugh, and
then it is all over.” ‘
“Sweet, you’ve got me interested,”
said Mr. Crosby. “What is this thing
that you say is so funny ‘2”
“Well, it says here that Admiral
Dewey is broken in health, and so it is
proposed that he return to the United '
States and rest up.”
“Yes?” said Crosby, after a short
pause. “I read that. What about it?”
“That’s all there is about it,” replied
Sweet, glaring at his paper.
Mr. Crosby, Miss Bax’ or and Miss
Dixon looked at one anomer in silent
wonderment. -
“Well, that—that'isn’t the joke, is
it ‘2” asked Miss Baxter.
Mr. Sweet trembled with wrath as he
rearranged the paper in front of him:

thing remarkable in the proposition

The horse of the undertaker, dravn'ng
the black and sober wagon, is common~
ly.driven, not at a walk, but a trot,
though a. trot. that is never fast. There
are times, how-ever, when the horse
‘ seems to take on an added touch of
briskness and animation, in keeping
with its surroundings, as, for instance,
when it is seen, as sometimesitmay be,
with its black wag'on,,_in the busy, quick-
moving throng of vehicles that fills the
streets in the neighborhood of Broad-
way and Thirty-fourth street, at the
York Sun. ' . ‘
Here and at this time, in this constant
.Weaving of light and motion, of cars
running back and forth on the elevated
road overhead, and moving cars, cable,
trolley and horse, on the streets below,
intermingled with all sorts of vehicles,
including carriages of all desciptions,
coaches, broughams, hansoms, electric
cabs, and: so on, everything and every-
body seems to be in a-hurry; or, if notin
a hurry, to be going with a rush, quick-
ly, eagerly, with the anticipation of
pleasure. The. cars are crowded as they
rush by, and every carriage isdawn
briskly.
Emerging from the busy traffic may
sometimes be seen an undertaker’s
wagon, its black, varnished sides glis-
tening in the electric lights, its silver
plate. shining and its horse going right
along smartly. The wagon is just. as
black, just. as decorous as ever, and the
driver the same, but it seems as though
the horse. had caught the spirit of the
throng. '
THE MACHETE’S DEADLY CUT.
Lieut. Lyng, from Havana, Tells
How a Spaniar‘d’s Body
“’39 Severed.
The execution possible with a machete
when wielded by a brnwny Cuban
horseman is told by Lieut. L. Lyng,
assistant surgeon U. S. A., who is home
in Minneapolis on a furlough from Cuba.
During his service in Cuba Lieut. Lyng,
'Whose swarthy complexion causes him
to be mistaken for a. Cuban ofiicer often~
er than fora native of Norway, which
he is; collected many photographs and.
relics, says the Chicago News.
“While I was in attendance in one of
iard was brought. in who had been all
but cut in two by a machete. The blow
severed his left. arm just below the arm—
pit, and proceeded through the man’s
body until it encOuntered the spine and
breastbone. Few soldiers who fell afoul
of a deft fencer with the machete ever
lived to tell the tale." '
Among Lieut. Lyng’s collection of
photographs is one of a. gigantic heap
of bones of reconcentrados whose bo'd-
ies had been thrown in'a pile on the cute
skirts of Havana and covered with
lime. Another picture shows a pit full
of skeletons, where the work of the
quicklime had been left to vultures.
These were bones of persons. whose
bodies were dug up and moved cut of
