t won hi iw imnosibla to overdraw the
splendid picture presented by th? proces
sion of the afternoon ami ny tne illumina
tions of the night. No money has been
spared to make the coronation festivities
memorable in Russian history, and up to
the present all efforts have been crowned
with success. The Russian government is
said to have spent over '20.000,000 on the
fetes up to the present, and the city of
Moscow is understood to Jiave expended
nearly as much money, and more expenses
have to be met. j
$ome idea of the work done may be'
gained when it is stated that there are
nearly 6,000 electric lamps in the cele
brated tower of Ivan, that over iO.000 flash
from the towers or walls of the Kremlin,
and an equal number around the arsenal,
the barracks ' and the guard house. Here
and there, especially beneath the towers
of the Kremlin, are Russian eagles formed
out of small electric lamps, and, being
suspended in the air, these brilliant eagles
add: greatly to the attractiveness of the
scene. . , , . f

ings in succession, and will -cost several
imillions of dollars to the jgovermnent

The Frenc h government, epeiaily," hiis
been put to a very great expense for the
coronation fete. Two cf the largest pal
aces of notl?men have tean rented and
fitted out in the cotliest manner, for the
French representatives, one of the items
being a mile and a quarter of the most
costly. carpeting produced in France The
cost of the supper which their imperial
majesties 'will attend under the auspices of
the French delegation will cost over 100,
000, and the carriage! used- by tha French
envoys were the property of the Emperor
Napoleon, built especially for the christen
ing of : .the. late prince imperial. Ex-Empress
Eugenie allowed them to be sent to
Moscow for the ue of Comte de Monte
bello and General Boisdeff re, the rei
resentatires of France. ,
Both carriage are in Louis XV style,
with; seven - glass panels. That of4 the
Comte de Mon tcb'ello .was painte:l, picked
out and lined with green and amaranth,
and the vehicle used by General Bois
deff re was dark blue, striped with white
antl red and having rich mountings of
gilded bronze. The .hammer cloths were
gorgeous and the borderiugs were in fine
gold twists, with gold rope! and tassels be
hind for the footmen to hold on by. The
manes of the horses were plaited with gold
cord.
The head of the procession which es
corted the czar ?tarted from the Petro
sky palace at 2 :30, but it was some time
later before the royal family appeared,
headed by t he czar on horseback, and siir
roundc:! by courtiers who were superbly
mounted. '
The emperor upon entering the capital
"was received by the governor general of
Moscow, mounted and escorted by officers
and aides. The! governor general was
joined by the emperor's suit. Upon enter
ing the Zemlainoi the emperor was received
by the mayor and the council of the city
of Moscow, delegates of the chamber of
commerce, a committee of artisans, repre
sentatives of different companies with dis
tinctive signs, rep'reentatives of the
bourse, all formed into a committee cf re
ception. Inside the Kremlin the' imperial party,
with the foreign princes. dismounted at the
gate between the steeple of Ivan Veliki
and the Cathedral of the Archangel Mi
chael, and entered the Cathedral of the
Assumption by the southern gate,preceded
by the. grand master of the coronation cer

REBELLION.

This Country Have Been Successfully
Landed Statement' of a Gentleman Who
tor Forty-five Years Resided on the Island
--:---!- ...;'' " " -
A XeW--'Y6sk;-' May 25. A, gentleman, for
forty-five years a resident of Cuba, in an
Interview with a. representative of the As
sociated Press, gave the following timely
resume of the past and present of the'
Cnbiin rebellion of today, or that initiated
Feb. 2i, 1 S's)5. Owing, to his interests in
Cuba' and ' his strong sympathy for the
Cu-bansTie refused to allow his name to be
used. ..',.' -
. "The present rebellion," he said, "was
devised and planned bv Cubans in New
York, and had many
the best classes in
active agents among
central and eastern
Cuba. Eajdy in 1S;5 many of the colore;!
or working classes wci-e idle. . Then on tho
24th of Februarv, lSS, a number raise!
the flag of rebellion and demanded a Cuba
libre, or free Cuba. The standard of revolt
was set up in a number of places in eastern
Cuba, a rich province in which the blacks
greatly outnumbered the whites. The
blacks joined the petty leaders.
Simultaneously, in central Cuba', small
parties fojrmed.; At that time theKinove
ment was not deemed a really serioirs one.
However, the ' small parties maintained
their independence and grew in number
and strength. Then they had few or no
arms, but all had the death dealing ma
chete. , ' ; -
VThe Spanish officials, not believing that
th movement was serious, so informed
the government, and niale little of the
whole uprising. Later Spam became much
alarmed and sent out General Martinez
Campos, who, instead of bringing the long
promised reforms,brought soldiers, whereas
if he had come alone, duly authorized to
adjust 'all the differences, the extension of
the rebellion would have been prevented'
ahd a settlement reached.' -
"While the insular events were multi
plying Generals Maximo Gomez and An
tonio Maceo landed with a considerable
following. .After a long and dangerous

Oklahoma's Deadly Cyelone. j
Guthrie, O. T., May 22. A terrific cy
clone passed through the Osage reservation,-devastating
farms and ranches and it
is rumored killing a number of people. The
etorm was general over the territory and
"was the worst on record. . Small cyclones
Hre reported from Norman, Edmund Perr
kins and White Eagle, with much destruc
tion of property. Hundreds of cattle were
klUed.
and half liiegroes. The latter make the'
best soldiers. They sleep in the ; open and
cad march a whole day without food. ;
."Quite recently,", said he, "when Gen
eral Caliito Garcia landed, hundreds of
whites ard blacks instantly joined his
standard, iniany of them in excellent social
position, -They abandoned all to fight for.
a -"free ciba." Garcia, like Gomez and.
others, niide 4fine records in the earlier
rebellion.
t'The pojlicy of the Spanish troops is one
of makeshifts rather than of search and
battling vith the Cubans. The climate
now is a constant vapor bathj the new
troops are! not accustomed to it, : and their
constant marching and drinking impure
water endhngers"their lives. In 1895 over
20000 of tem fell victims to tropical dis
eases, andj :his ear the death rate will be
appalling !
"It hasjbeen claimed by the Spaniards
that Macao's men cannot cross the new,
trocha. Respite all statements to the con-;
trary the j-ebel cross the trocha whenever
they please by attracting the attention, of
the troops at one place while at another
point others dash across and are out Of
sight ere the small detachments can over
come their! surprise. This Maceo has done
repeatedly. .
'The: Cu bans have orders to i-elease- all
prisoners oaptured after securing their
arms and supplies. On the other hand,
however, Spanish co'mmanders are respon
sible for the shooting of hundreds of de
fenseless persons and reporting the affair
as a Spanish -victory. !
"The Cubans do not now hold any town,
village or port, but when advised of expe
ditions the rebels concentrate ; near the
coast and cover the landing of , men and
arms, having reduced this to a science.
The steamers iay to at night, outside of the

EX-SENATOR WALLACE DEAD.
ITor. Years lie Was a Power in Pcnnsyl--.
i vaiiia Polities.
New 1 Yohk, May 2:3 Wdliam A Wal
lace,' former United States senator from
Pennsylvania, died yesterday at 170 West .
Eighty-eighth street, this city, aged 67.
Mi. Wallace had beeh seriou-ly 111 for sev
eral months, and for a month past he had
been unconscious for a greater part of the
time. Paralysis of f ha brain was the cause -of
his death. t i
For a number of years William A. Wal
lace was a iower in the politics of tho
state of Pennsylvania. He divided tho
party and led the wing which opposed
Tilden for president, and' had for his an
tagonist Samuel! J. Randall, the earnest
advocate of the Cev.T York statesman. In
1S33 he was elected to the state senate, de
feating a popular -'Republican, -.'Lewis W.
Hall. His vote gave the legislature into
the ccntrol of the Democrats.
In 1S71; when speakerof the state senate,
he was urged to- )x? a candidate for a seat
in the United States senate. He. was op-
posed by Charles' TL. Buekalew, -but when
the vote was taken only six ; members of
his party voted lazainst him. He served
only one term-, (retiring'' In IsSl. Wallace
led t several campaigns in this state, the
most important being in 133$r when Grant
arid Wiliii apdj Seymour and 'Blair -was
running for president and vice president.
Pennsylvania ! was : the pivotal state, and
through Wallace's efforts the niajority for
General Grant was less than 30,000. -
In 1.833 he was again elected state sena
tor, and continued a member of the upper
branch of the legislature until January,
1887, serving altogether seventeen years in
that body, over which he presided in 1S71,
before the establishment of the lieutenant
governorship. Mr. Wallace wa3 a candi
date for the Democratic nomination for
governor in 1885, when Chauncey P. Black
defeated him, and again in 1890,- when
ljbert E. Puttison was nominated the
second time. I
