.sv^lxlvrxi: It 5s now some time since that the
"jfc- 'ilSipnnjsh troops in difterent points of the isle
have carried on a war opposed to all ideas of
modern civilization. The murder of old men,
, women and' Cliildren, the mutilation of dead
bodies, and the assassination of nartics bear
ing flags of truce, the .sacking and destruction
of property of ihofteusivd citizens, and other
. , deeds which the pen refuses to put upon paper,
, ■ and the shamelessness of certain acts ordered
Ato be committed ■by the . Generals, Val
maseda 51ara, Hamela, Goyenecke, aiid others,
e yhave.iollowed each other in such rapid succes
!”;V sion as to have become „ a scandal upon eitili

yon • belong.- Really your antecedents in
t SpnnisH: polity, in the relations which it sus
tains to this country, hid iri; to suppose that
- your, conduct would hai'C been very different
from that observed by your predecessors. But
I’am pained to say; that the column .which left...
Camaguej'du :tlieir way to Cuba, did, going
and .coming; commit acts equal in barbarity to
those committed under ,tlie atispices of

which had retired to the woods, fnght-.

natural, waspersecuted by various lndiyidu

-1 * ing him! How is this? Did you authorize ;
Kiicliacts? Ho vouwish to -use the- volunteer
r - force in the same way as your predecessors
■did? I wish to know, my dear Sir, because,
' being as lam at tlie head of my country’s
arxnvi lilesire.to war, against Spanish domi
natibii '’until bur oppressors are dri yen
• into tlie sea, but 1 do not wish to

enlightened peoples. I have given proofs ot

• isli prisoners, among whom were ten officers,
and wlio were taken in a i-ont suffered by one
of vour columns on the 17th of April last, while
on its way from Minati, to Tunas. Tills is a
proof that our government invites our enemies
to the exercise of a proper Conduct and the
' carrying on of a war upon civilized principles.
And for this reason I promptly gave up these
political prisoners who had fallen into
mv: power. To resume, and reserv
.* • ing the right to adopt whatever
conduct in the other States of the island may

inwt-e'. your Excellency to let me know what

sentiments which, I repeat, your antecedents
induced me to suppose you uld, let me know
that the war is to be- carried on in the territory
occupied by your troops in tlie regular civil

BtAIB AT hONfi BRANCH.
Ills Attempted Apology for His Comlnct.
An officer who was present, at tlie Hong
Branch banquet when Blair insulted the com
'panv writes to tlie Tribtuu::
Vtfi’iv■: 111 tlie World of this morning is yet
another explanatory letter from Mr. E. IJ.1 J .
Blair in relation to his well-laid attempt to be,
again brought into notice. If I remember
aright Mi-. Blair lias already become somewhat
famous as a w-riter - of-explanatory letters. In
this case; however, he makes a sad mistake in
not allowing the most charitable view to b\,
taken of liis conduct on the Bth inst. Among
his other I infirmities Mr. Blair is somewhat
forgetful. The record of his speech is in_ my
possession as Secretary of the Society,
and I wish to call his attention to it.
He says: “I will.- : speak for a people
who were once our enemies, against whom
we contended, and whom we aspersed as
Rebels.” R’ow, Mr. Blair 1h not ignorant of
the use or meaning of the English language.
■ “ Asperse as Rebels.” Is it an aspersion to
w. call a person hv liis right name? There were
Rebels, bitter, cruel and vindictive, and tlie
soldiers of this country are not to he insulted
bv being told that they are “ aspersing” them
' it’thevsay so: This delicacy is the delicacy of
a sensitive political! who hopes for their suf
frage and fears their enmity. The eulogy of
W Bee and “Stonewall”. Jackson following in
. such close connection and in such an unhappy
-1- comparison, could not be misconstrued by the
• most stupid person. Mr. Blair in his fiehrt ,no
doubt, iegretsdiis blunder, which, in this case,
it was worse than a crime. ,
’ The “apprehension that these army reunions
-were being used as -Radical stalldug-liorses”
canjie. easily allayed, if Ms Hethean torgetful
ness will -pot.-.prevent Bis remembering that
tlie Constitution of tlie Society expressly pre
-1 eludes tin-discussion of politics, and its rigid
enforcement in his'particular case by Admiral
Earragm sliould have quieted him forever on
this iioint. There is no man connected with
' the Society who ever held a political office,
who wants a political office, or who through
• fear that jie can't get one. is afraid of calling
a Rebel by Bis riglit name. Keither will they
allow politicians,.Democratic or Republicnn,
-r to call'them to account for “aspersing Re
\\ bels.?' especially if - the .remark is illustrated
by, CbinparingXee and “Stonewall” Jackson
' \vith Eavragut and Sheridan, wlio were also
our guests and were then sitting with us at
our own table. Mr. Blair should recall his
classical reading and Sremember Philip, the
King of Macedon, who in liis most desperate,
condition was sagacious enough to be aware
of Ills two-fold character, and allowed an ap
peal from one to the other. Tlie charity of
the Society of the Army and Mavy of the Gulf
is with Mr. Blair, but the Society cannot he
held accountable if its hospitality was too gen
erousiv appreciated hy its guest.

I saw no more of him; Nevlin says: “T

Public Drinking Fountains.— There lias
been erected by the Philadelphia Fouutain So
ciety,'and noAV in full operation, free granite
fountains—one on Walnut street; two in In
dependence Square, on Chestnut street; one
in Arch street, between Front and Delaware
avenue, and one in Dock street, below Wal
nut. There are also in hand, tAvo in white
marble, one iii granite, one in Ohio brown
stone, and two m iron, all of which are under
contract to he finished before the middle of
August, making, in all, thus far, eleven foun
tains,to Avliich others are expected to he added
during the present month. The great advan
tage derived by the, imhlicfromthe.se foun
tains is slioAvn by.a count, made at the Walnut
street fountain (in Saturday last, Avhen 1,305
persons and 321 horses drank between seven
o’clock iii the morning and seven o’clock in
the evening. Taking tills as the aA-erage, the
five fountains hoav in use. would Avater 0,825
persons and 1,005 horses in twelve hours, a
blessing heretofore unknown in Philadelphia,
and one for Avliieli all classes of our citizens
ought to feel grateful.
Dr. \V. C. Sav.hiu, President of the Society,
in a' communication, says:
“We are appropriating the money contri
buted to this object to the b.!st, advantage; but
it should he recollected that our city covers a
iarge area, and requires a heavy expenditure
to satisfy the demands that are daily pressing
upon us. We, therefore, mnnot. anneal too
strongly to the liberality of all our citizens to
hill us in this noble Avork, and avo promise them
that the. fountains Avill be multiplied in pro
portion to. the means entrusted to our care. If
tlie religious anil other the mar
kets, the public institutions and the advocates
of temperance Avould aid us in this great
charity, Ave would put a large number of foun
tains in hand - this coming winter, and have
them ready for service in tho spring: and A\ - e
-hope this subject. Avill eoimneiid itself to the
favorable consideration of the benevolent and
pliilantlu'opie.” •
Fire in A Church.— This morning, about
half past 11 o’clock, a fire broke out in tlie
Third Beformeil Church, located at the north
east corner of Tenth and Filbert streets. The
flumes first appeared in the organ, in tlie gal
lery at the Avust end of the church building,and
burned rapidly through to the roof. The fire
then Avorked its way between tlie ceiling and
roof,through the entire length of the structure,
and burned stubbornly for nearly an hour,
before it could he subdued by the firemen.
The organ was completely destroyed, and
OAving to the difficulty m getting at the tire,,
tlie building Avas flooded Avith Avater. A por
tion of the ceiling fell in. Tlie organ cost
S-4,000. It was insured for §1,500 in the Ame
ricnii Insurance Company.
-Tlie church edifice isbailly damaged through
out. It will probably require an expenditure
of §5,000 or §B,OOO to put it in good condition
again. Tho.l6ss.is fully covered by insurance
in the American.
The origin of the fire is mysterious. The
sexton says that tho building was entirely
locked up and tlie keys Avere In his possession,
and there lias been no tire upon the premises
for several months. The fact that the Hames
first appeared In the organ increases the mys
tery. Fire Marshal Blackburn Avill fully in
vestigate the matter.

Recognized— The body of the/German
found in Gunner’s Bun on Sunday morning
lias been recognized as that of John Graff. He
was "a married man and resided with, Wm.
Boedscli, No. 528 West Girard avenue. He
left liis home on Saturday evening, and as he
was departing lie handed a number of articles
to Mr. Boedseh witli tlve remark—“ The next
time vou see me you will see mein the water.”
The snuffbox found belonged to the deceased,
and as the evidence before the Coroner’s jury
to-dav showed that it had been seen in posses
sion of one of the prisoners, it is inferred that
Graff had been robbed and ran into the creek
while attempting to escape from his assailants.

Herr Sehneil .and his Japanese are in fine,

put out a great quantity of the seed-nutjs of the
tea plant, Avhieli are coming up finely. This
is the beginning of a new ana important in

of the much better adaptabilityjof our foot

Avill hear plucking, as they Avill be then
four years old, and the quality of the beverage

vegetables, tends to delicacy rather than
strength in tills climate, and this tendency,
though objectionable in fruits and berries, is
favorable to tea. The finest qualities of tea
