of tho execution of a prisoner of

field at Santa Clara, near Havana.

Cuban fanner, who had joined tho
insurgent. Ilo wia a bravo and
handsome boy, who met death with
the courage of a hero With Ma
hands tied behind him ho waa
mu died to tho field, a half mile
from his prison, and there in tho
early morning light, just before run
rise, a volley was fired into his back
alter the priest had oflered a brief
prayer, while the soldiers stood un
covered. Then tho aijuad was
matched off to tho barracks, tho
body left lying where it had fallen
in the wet grass, and later on a bul
lock cart broiiifht a rough enllin
and it wag removed. This fceiio is
repeated, according to Mr. Davis,
over and over again. Kvery morn
ing for a month thirty prisoners of
war were shot at daybreak under
the walls of Santa Claia. Probably

over two months to make a com

without extremo difficulty, how

The traiu-SitK!rian railway, which
will doubtless lie completed before
tho present century expires, ia to
cover a distance of 7,."u0 miles. It
will cost a fabulous sum of money
to carry out such a mammoth un
dertaking, but tho result of the en
terprise, if successful, will lie a com
plete change in the route over

travelled tor years.
Still another effect which this
great enterprise will have upon the
world's progress will bo in the en
larged commercial opportunities
which it will give Kussia. It will,
furthermore, enable that empire to
dispute with England the suprem

has so long enjoyed.
To pleasure-seekers this railway,
projected through the north of Asia,
will open a vast area of countiy
hitherto unknown and explored.
That Russia will succeed in her

which she has started upon the great
