There was a pnrndo ] 111 tb* mOFDlDR Ani a requiem mass wa.s | ceielirateil Inthi; catiiedral. In Ihti aflrr- I Boon thera was a meeting iu tbe theatre, at wblob the dead soldier was eulogised,      |
The crowd tbat asaemblwd In the morn- I log w,is not orderly.    Carloa (Jircla, who I managed tbo affair, failfd to notify Culonel i Doncom, tbe Ailjiitant-deneral,  wbo is in i (lommaDd ol the cltv during the absence of 1 Ueneral Wood, and tbi> Americans  ituew I Dotblfig of the contemplated   procession j jiDtll n hundred Cubaus, armed wtth Rem- j togton   rifles, marched   past   tbe   palace. { These wero   followed   by twice as  many more bearing   maohetes   and pistols aud Cuban  fli.gs.   Thn American  nag bad do place in the procession.
At 9 o'cloclc nearly all the crowd entered Ihe cathedral to listen to thn religious ser¬ vices. Tbu armed Cubans outside fired two ¦nlntea with ball cnrtridgus, ond two ol Ihu bullets cbipped pioces of masonry from the cathedral ou{kolu. A roan wbo was ringing tbo chimes was so badly frightened by tlm close approach of tbe bullets tbat he cninn down and could not be induced to go into tbe oupola again.
When Colonel Beacom beard tbo volleys ha iiamediately summoned Carcia betori> bim and demanded by wliat authority he lirougbt armed men into tb» city. Garcia said hn thought that tho Cubans' plan to commemorate tbe death of Macoo was known to the American nuthorltioa. H« ; was ordered by Colonel Bencom to Im- mqdlately disarni tho men,  whioh bo did.
Thenlternoon procession to tbe theatre was more orderly. A half dozen spcoclies Were made in ttie theatre, tho spealtora conllning themselves to uttering panegyrics of Oeneral Maoeo and denouncing the tlpaniarda. No reference was made to the Americans. Tbe day was tbo Ilrst time armed Cubans have entered tbe city since tbs'Amertoan oooupation.
Toward night the cro%d became drunlt and boisterous. They thronged tho saloons and cafes ami tho plazas, mailing threats ¦gainst the Hpaniards and Americans.
At 6 o'clock three horlemen, led by n white man wearing tbe Insignia of a cap¬ tain In the Cuban Army, rode to tbe en¬ trance 6t the CIrcnIo Espanoi and knocked over three nolicemen who were guarding tbe door. They then rode into tho reception room, where they ¦phsbed twn chandeliers and some furni¬ ture, after which they rode out, with tbe white man still at their bead. He waved bis machete over bis head, and shouted in Spanish: "I am Juan Castillo, a captain of infantry In tho army of llbH.-iition of Cuba. I did this act on account of my inanhooj." Then, with his tbree companions, ho gal¬ loped dowu tbe street, followed by a cheer- \a'A crowd.
After the honemen bad diaappeared an¬ other crowd attempted to break into tbe club, but tbo entrance was blocked by i;at)taiD Bamon Mendozaol Oeneral Wood's staff.
When tbe matter was reported to tb* American military authorities Lieutenant Matthew Hanna brought a detail ot troops from tho Fifth Regulars and placed thnm as guard* at thn Spanish Club and tho Hpanlsh Bank, wllh order, to bayonet any ono who attempted further disorder. Lieutenant Hanna proiuptiy dis¬ missed tbe thruo policeraou who bad al¬ lowed themselves to ba run over without resistance and also six othurs who failed to prevent tho trouble.

The Ill-fated Londonlan left Boston on November 15, and on November 23 lu a vio. lent galo her cargo shifted and she almost capsized. Anally resting on ber beam eniM, wllh big seas breaking over ber, ller luck¬ less crew were belnless to riglit ber, and for two days she drifted about at the mercy ol the winds and waves. Assistance came at 6 o'clock on the morning of November 23.

Fir three hours the sturdy Britons battlo.i with wind and wave In a vain attempt to reach ber, but wero ilnally forced lo rctiiiii to their ship. Many attempts were uiiidc lo react the sinking ship wiiicli proved fruitless, and ns it grow loo dark to do aiiviliing more, Cnptain ll.irtlett signalled, "Will stand by you until luorulng."
The piteous signal, "For Ood's sake don't leave us," came back lu reply, and to tbo mute appeal everv man ol the gallant crow of tbo Vcdamoro "pledged bis life to rnscuo Ihe hclple«» ones. Iluring the night tho wind increased, nnd by morning it was blowing very bard. Then il was tliat an- othermoansof rescue was do.-idod upon. For hours life-bouys witb lines attached Woru floated to thn Londonlan, and at last her crew succeeded lu getting one aboard.
