THE MORNING CALL. -— VoLX. No. 13. FRENCH comers MUTINY. Dreyfus’ Guards Ordered to Kill Him Before Releasing Him- LoMPONrßepi. 21—A d> patch from Paris «y« ‘be deputy rep re-enling French Guiana in tbecham ber has received a diepatch announcing that a mutiny has taken place among the convicts at Cayenne, the capital of French Guinea. The mutineers, it appears overpow ered and murdered their guards, then stormed the military storehouse and eised the armsand ammunition there They are now, according to the dis patch, besieging the principal prison, and it is feared they may succeed in freeing the 4,000 convicts confined in the building. Reinforcements have been telegraphed for to the island of Martinique but it is said they will not arrive in time to suppress the mutiny. Devil’s island, where Albert Dreyfus the former captain in the French ar tillery, is confined under sentence for having sold secrets of the war depart ment to a foreign government, is but a short distance from Cayenne. It is probable that the revolt of con victs may be the death knell of the prisoner whose condemnation has so stirred up the French nation, for his guards are under strict orders to kill him if any attempt is made to release him or if there is any possibility of bis escaping. Cuba May Prove Troublesome. The impression is very general that the only trouble the peace commission will have will be in connection with tbe Philippines. There are reasons for thinking, however, that it will not be altogether plain sailing in the mat ter of Cuba. What is the situation in respect to Cuba? Congress has declared that Cuba ought to be free and independent, but this country has never recognized tbe so-called Cuban republic, and no other nation has recognized it. One of our peace commissioners is on record as saying that there was no Cuban republic when war against Spain was declared, and there has been no republic established since. To whom, then, will Spain cede Cuba? She cannot cede it to Cubans, because they have no government, and she is doubtless glad that she cannot cede it to them. She. will have to cede it to the United States, says tbe Savannah News. And in making the cession she is likely to insist upon a stipulation that they shall maintain a force in the is land sufficient to protect Spanish in terests, and Spaniards who remained loyal to Spain. A stipulation of that kind could not very well be refused. Would not such a stipulation mean tbe permanent occupation of Cuba by this country? , In this connection the New York Herald rather pertinently askt>, And when Spain has ceded Cuba to tbe United States and the treaty has In it tbe stipulation that an American force shall remain in the island to protect the interest of Spaniards, who were loyal to Spain, where will be found authority in tbe constitution to cede Cuba to tbe Cubans? Putting it that way makes a very interesting ques tion, and one that may give our peace commissioners trouble. Remarkable Rescue, Mrs. Plainfield, 111, makes tbe statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a mouth by her family physician, but grew worse. He told bei she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her.

Havana, Sept. 21.—There was no exchange of notes today between the American and Spanish evacuation commission. Boxes to the number of 463, con taining records of tbe Spanish military departments, were sent to Spain today on the steamer Alfonso XIII. Thir teen boxes belong to tbe militsiy gov ernment of Havana, 136 to tbe super intendent of infantry, and the rest to the departments and to the batteries that will embark first, to return home. Generals Gonzales, Carroll aud Gu gueroa Herenandez left for Spain to day, with their staffs Several other officers went on tbe same steamer. In accordance -with the prevailing belief that tbe autonomist cabinet will remain in office for a long time, Senof Montero, the secretary of finance, has made arrangements for drawing of the Havana lottery for six months more, ahd tickets are being sold for the drawings that will not take place un til December The city continues quiet The recent trouble between the mil itary officers and civilians were of no political importance. Steamers continue to arrive here, crowded with Cuban refugees, who re turn unmolested to their homes. * The insurgent newspaper, La Es trella Solitarioj is sold on the streets of the city without interference by tbe press censor. La Verdad, a paper under the di rection of tbe editor of the organ of the Cuban Junta at Key West, is also sold without molestation. Part of the Cuban army is still en camped in tbe outskirts of Havana. The soldiers, despite tbe fact that they have no food, don’t trouble the farm ers. They depend altogether upon tbe bounty of tbe citizens to keep them from actual starvation. The American commission pays 11,000 a week for board at tbe Baton and Trotcba, at El Vedade. The American flag has been raised over tbe building and a guard of American marines put around the building. Tbe case annex has been closed to the pub lic in order to protect the American commission from annoyance. Admiral Sampson, Gen. Wade and Gen. Butler are sight-seeing today. They will visit tbe Cuban camps, out side the city, also of tbe Cubans who have visited tbe commissions to ex press themselves as highly satisfied with tbe declarations that the United States is acting in absolute good faith to carry out its expressed intention to establish Cuban independence and a stable government. # The Ladies The pleasant effect and perfect safety with which ladies may use Syrup of Figs, under all conditions, makes it their favor ite remedy.

Charged $5 for “Sass” A story is told of Fanny Kemble, whose favorite summer resort was Lenox, that on her first season there sbe employed a self respecting villager, who bad a comfortable turnout, to drive her about, says the Boston Re cord. He, feeling it to be bis duty to make the drive as entertaining as possible, began to call her atlentipn to the beauty of tbe scenery—which sbe wished to enjoy undisturbed—and to tell her who lived in certain houses as they passed along, until finally Mrs. Kemble, being unable to stand it any longer, said, in the high tragedy man ner somewhat peculiar to her: “I havh engaged you to drive for me, sir, and not to talk ” The dliver ceased talking, pursed up his lips, and m all their drives bis only remarks were such as he found necessary to address to tbe horses At the end of the season be banded in bis bill for the summer ser vices. Running her eye down its awk" ward column*, she panted at an item that she didn’t understand. “What is ibis, sir? I cannot comprehend it.” With equal gravity be replied: "Sass, |5. 1 don’t often take it, but when I do I charge.” She paid the bill with* out comment, and continued to em ploy the i»me driver during many summers she spent there.

Proctor Knott’s Rabbit Story. Ex Gov. Proctor Knott and a dis tinguished professional gentleman of Danville were discussing tbe claims Os Sampson arid Schley to the credit of smashing Cervera at Santiago, says a Lebanon, Ky , diapatcb to the Louis ville Times. The professional gentle man took the ground that all the honor of that memorable conflict be longed to Admiral Sampson, and was inclined to ignore entirely Commodore Schley’s part in the affair. Tbe gov ernor listened until his companion had finished and then, with that char acteristic twinkle in his eye, said : ‘My dear sir, it is exceedingly grat ifying to me to hear you take the position you have in this matter. It is like a balm to my conscience and settles a point that has worried me many a day. * I was walking through the woods with a boy friend of mine when wo saw a rabbit run into a sinkhole. We stood around tbe bole a while; then I told tbe boy to keep watch while I went to get some fire to smoke tbe rabbit out. When I returned the boy had the rabbit. I promptly took it away from him, claiming that it be longed to me, because I had told him to catch him if he came out. "That was over fifty years ago, and you are the first man who has ever agreed with me that the rabbit was mine. I feel now that I was right io taking it and my conscience is at rest.” Tbe gentleman looked solemn for a few moments, then smiled a feeble smile, and changed the subject. Bobbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was tbe subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and aides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec tric Bittersand to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decid ed improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, aud am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should tail to try them. Only 50c per bottle at J. N. Harris & Son’s and Carlisle & Ward’s drug stores. NOTICE.
