He had earlier boon told that his life would be In dantfer If ho remained in Havana, but paid no heed to the warning. On Wednesday of last week a Spani nrd who is a business man in Havana, and who Is under Kreat obllRatlons to this Amerlcun representative, came to him nnd said: "I implore you to ko away as soon as possible after you have heard what I soy. You are nmorn? those marked out for nssas.ilnatlon in case war begins. If "worst comes to worst, and war comes before you ean Ket away, come Immediately to ray house and I will hide you, although It will be dungerous for me to do that." Another warning coming from a source which this man was bound to heed satisfied him that he would be In deadly peril if ho remained In Cuba, and ho therefore departed on Thursday and is now in this city. He is a. man of Spanish descent, although born in Porto Hlco. He was educated In the United States, became an American citizen and has for some years repre sented one of tho greatest of New York's commercial Institutions In the West Indies. This morning he met some of those who are interested in the company he represents and some other business men of national prominence, nnd was nsked to relate from his own experi ences, which as a business man hav ing connections all over the island of Cuba, have been extensive, what he thought of the condition, Its cuuses and its determination. LEE WAS IN DANGKK. He said in the first place that the ae eusution made by the Havana news papers that General Lee had lied from Havana because he lacked courage was far apart from truth. On the contrary there has not been a day for the past month when Lee's life was not in dnngor and the consul gen era has been aware of that. As proof of this assertion, this man said that about two weeks ago he was dining with a prominent Spanish naval ofll cer, and In the course of conversation this officer said, "one of these days General L,ee's life will be taken. It will be done by an element In Havana which has become Intensely hostile to him and the plans are already ar ranged." In reply tho American said that he did not believe that any Spaniard could be found in Havana so low and so foolish as to assassinate the Ameri can consul general; low, because as asslnation is the woik of a vlllan; foolish, because the assassination of Lee would be followed by such ven geance as might leave scarcely a ves tige of Havana. Nevertheless the naval officer assured this friend that the plan had already been prepared. A day or two later this American was conversing with a Spaniard with whom he had close business relations, when suddenly this Spaniard pointed to two men, saying; "If General Lee is killed you see two of the men now who will have a part in that act." On the following day the American saw one of these two men lurking around tho Amerlcnn consulate. He said that he felt it to bo his duty to thereupon call upon General Leo and warn the general that he might bo in danger, and to give the reasons for that apprehension. LEE WAS WARNED. General Leo replied that this was only one of a number of friendly warn ings ho had received, some of them containing such detailed information wan no was satisueu tnnt there were grounds for believing that such a plot had been arranged, "Hut," ho said, "I cannot do anything other than I am now doing. I must stay here until my Government tells mo to Ko away, and I must take my chances of life or death." Other thlng3 which this Ameri can business man learned satisfied him that there were several times when General Lee's life dependd upon a mere chance or happy accident, and that he got away from Havana alive. In his own caso the warning came from those whom he had served nnd who had special reasons, partly of a business nature, for wishing that his life be preserved. Ho had been, with others, selected for assassination be cause It was believed that although he was nominally a civilian, nnd ns a business man not personally interested In the conflict, nevertheless ho had se cretly given advice and encouragement to the Cuban leaders; besides It was known that he had once or twice sought General Lee upon other thnn consular business. He saw u partial list of American citizens who had been marked for assassination, and, while some of them have now departed from tho Island, others nre still there, per haps lEnornnt of the Intention (if the conspirators.

In Havana, ho says, the vindictive nnd rubld hatred Is first of all centered upon General Lee, who Is believed to be chiefly responsible for tho nttltude of tho Amerlcnn nation. Next to this nnlmoslty In fierceness nnd Intensity Is that entertained for tho American newspaper correspondents, nnd nfter that the feeling of bitter resentment nnd of ugly hatred for tho entire Amor lean people Is very strong. THn FJIE13DOM OF CUHA. Every one of Intelligence In Cuba, tho Spanish soldiers, the nrmy nnd navy ofllcers nnd the business men, knows that Spain 1ms lost Cuba. There Is no expectation that Spain can ever conquer tho Insurgents. Since tho first of April, when the proclnumtlon re quiring every man capable of bearing arms who Is between tho ages of 10 and M to register, hundreds of Cubans who had before that time taken no part In tho troubles, have gone to tho In terior to join the Insurgents, nnd tho Cuban nrmy Is now rapidly Increasing In numbers for that reason. Hut the freedom of Cuba, In this man's opin ion cannot bo secured without a con test of nrms. One decisive victory over the Span ish forces or Its navy would probably cow Spain, nnd would certainly lead to n great demoralization In its military nnd naval forces. The Spanish nrmy in Cuba is made up, this man says, of men of two widely different qualities. A part of the army consists of men who are generous, sympathetic nnd who at heart believe that the Cuban cause should succeed and will; the other part is made up of men who seem nlmost whollv destitute of moral or humane Instincts, and these are the moil who are relied upon to do the work of ..ruoltv. Some of those who heard the ex tremely Interesting nnd graphic de scriptions given by this business mnn, asked him to explain tho policy of con centration as viewed from the busi ness man's point of view. I'UOPOSED 15Y CAMPOS. He said that the policy was first proposed by Captain General Campos and as a military act. It, however, hail no other purpose than the weak ening of the insurgent army. General Campos proposed that all the non combatants on the Island should be brought to the cities and that upon the cities should be devolved the responsi bility for feedings and sheltering them. Immediately there canv to Campos delegations from the different cities to inform him Unit It would be Impos sible to feed these people, since the cities now found It very difficult to care for their own poor, many of whom were suffering. Upon that representa tion Campos practically abandoned the plan. He did not want the non-combatants who were entirely Innocent to suffer. After Weyler came he decided to adopt the plan, not wholly upon the grounds which hud Induced Campos to look upon It as u good military policy, but unquestionably because Weyler realized that the order was virtually an order for extermination. Upon no other theory can Weylor's campaign In Cuba be explained. His view was that Cuba could not bo conquered until Its entire population which was not loyal to Spain was exterminated or driven oiT the Island. "In that view." said this American, "Weyler was correct. Spain can only hold Cuba by either killing or starving every person upon the Island who will not swear allegiance to Spain, or by driving eveiy one, of that class from the island. Hut even in Cuba, among the Spaniards, there Is a strong feel ing that the day has passed when a policy of extermination can be put into execution and defended ns one neces sary to put an end to a revolution. Weyler understands perfectly well that Spain must exterminate or expel from the Island Its entire Cuban population, or It must give up Its sovereignty there, and It was with that understanding that he issued his reconcontrado order, and maintained It with Its' horrible elllcleney." WEYLKIl'S CJtUELTY. The question was asked whether the reports of Weylor's personal cruelty had been exaggerated, and the reply was Instant and emphatic. Two facts which came within this man's know ledge from eye witnesses were spoken of by him ns horrible proofs of the absolute lack of human sympathy or of the ordinary instincts of humanity, which especially characterized Wey lor's rule. Not long after Weyler went to Cuba a company of Spanish soldiers had fallen upon a little vlllago and had killed all of the adults In that village. A child only L' yours of age was found unhnrmed amid the awful carnage. Some of the Spanish soldiers took the child nnd made a pet of it. Instances of that kind were not Infrequent, and there nre today little children whose lives were spared, who have been ndopt ed by some of the Spanish tioops. The little thing was bright and playful, and became a general favorite. It was ten derly cared for, and Its pranks were the delight of the men who had taken tho child under their protection. They taught it to speuk a few words, and In a spirit of Jest had taught It to say. I when anyone linked, "Who lives?" l-UIKl 11VCS. One day General Weyler enmo into camp, and, seeing the little child, ntked how It came Into tho camp. They told him that It had been adopted by the soldiers, and then one unthinking otP cer said: "Ask It, Genernl who lives0" Wevler did so, and the little thing replied: "Live Cuba." Thereupon Gen eral Weyler drew his revolver from his pocket and placed the muzzle of It at the mouth of the Infant nnd then said to It, "Plow into It." As tho child did so Weylfr discharged the revoher, al most blowing the head of tho Innocent child from lis body. The soldiers protested, horrified. They snld to Weyler that tho child did not know what it was saying, nnd that It v"iild have said "Live Spain," Just ns willingly had It been taught to do that. Sunday School Lessoi for The BY J. E.

Or ders for sumo should bo sent at onco to Dr. J. K. Gilbert, Washington, D. C.) INTRODUCTION. CONTEXT. Fully six months elapsed between tho events of our last lesson nnd tlioso of today's lesson. Tho tlino was occupied with incidents of tho utmost Im portance, recorded chiefly In Luke, chap ters ix-xlx, and John, chupte'rs vil-xl. During theso months Jesus went up to tho feast of tho tabernacles at Jerusalem, In tho autumn of tho year 2t, whoro Ho delivered discourses to His disciples and to tho Jews. Returning He made a orlot stay in Galilee, concerning which wo know but little. When tho spring time approached Ho set out again southward, pnesod through Pcrea, where Ho eumo into close Intimacy with the disciples, de livering to tlum by parable nnd other wise advices according to their needs. Going on still toward the south Ho en tered Bethany, raised Lazarus from tho dead, retraced His steps toward the north and returned, going up to tho Passover feast at Jerusalem. April hud now coino and multitudes thronged tho way. GEOGRAPHY. Jerusalem was built on n series of bills (Gen, xxil, 2). On its east side was tho valley of Jehosiiphat (Joel Id, 2; lleb. Iv, 2), a natrow und preclp Itlous glen through which tho brook Kc dron flowed from north to south. 11c yond tho valley enstward was tho mount of Olives, tho scene of Important events In tho life of David and Solomon (II Sam. xv, :, I Kings xl, "), tho themo of pro phecy (Kcch. xlv, 4). Rcthphago was a small duster of houses, perhaps fifteen furlongs distant from the city wall, oc cupied by those who wero engaged In tho culturo of the olive tree and th vine. Two miles further away, at the beginning of the ascent to tho mount of Olive, was liethany, u more Important village, the home of a quiet and more peaceful rural population. PARALLEL. The lesson for the day Is given by nil the evangelists, John being less complete than tho other three (Matt, xxl. 1-11; Luke xlx, 29-41; John xil, 12-19). This fact measures the estimated Impor tance of tho event. One hundred and fifty incidents in the life of Jesus, or live, sixths of nil, are omitted by one or an other of His biographers, being deemed unnecessary to the purpose of tho writer. Twenty-five sketches found place in all tho Gospels, the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, being one of them. These, ar rayed by themselves, taken out of thir connection, laid side by side, In parallel, and studied consecutively, present several lines of precious truth, seen nowhere riw, for which there is not ppaco hero so mura as to give an outline (John xx, 31). Ho who cares to muke tho proper study will not fail of Ills reward. EXPOSITION. PREPARATION.-Aftcr leaving Ucth nny for Rethphage Jesus sent two dis ciples to an adjoining village with In struction to bring Hint a colt, that they would find, nnd, If any objected, to.Tepl, "The Lord hath need of him" In this He showed His authority (Mark vl. 7; xlv 12. and Ills knowledge both of tho animal and Its owner, who must have been u pious Jew willing to devote his property to religious uses (Ps.tlm xxlv. 1): 1 Citron, xxlx, 12-1S). Tho disciples obeyed (Matt, xxvl, 19), found the beast and brought it, Weyler shrugged his shoulders and turned on his heel. ORDERED A MASSACRE. This anecdote, some hint of which has before reached this country, w-ns vouched for as a truthful report by tills business man. He also said, and h spoke practically from his own know ledge, that one day Weyler was with some of the Spanish troops, and seeing in the distance a crowd of people, h asked who they were. The reply was that they wero roeoncentrados. Wey ler Mini, there are insurgents behind them, "lire Into them at r.nee," Thereupon, the otlicer in command, advancing to General Weyler. said: "General, I know that to disobey the command of the superior otlicer is to Incur death. 1 submit myself to that penalty, for I will not give the com mand to lire upon those women, old men and children. I came here to fight the insurgents, and not to commit a mnf-sacre." Weyler hesitated a moment, then realizing what the consequences might be were he to order this otlicer to be chot for refusing to execute his order, ho commanded htm to return to Ha vana, and afterword sent him bnck to Spain. There were other anecdotes il lustrating the inhumanity of Weyler viilch this mnn was able to tell as from personal expoiience, but it needs no mon than these two to confirm those who nsert that tho methods adopted by Spain in Cuba were meth ods which Nero himself could not have surpassed In Ingenious cruelty. NEW YORK FASHIONS. Pique and Linen Dresses Waists. Sleeves White Lace Skirls Ties. Sashei Collars. Spoclal to tho Scrunton Tribune. Now York,v April 30. Nothing more clearly Indicates the urcat popularity of Independent waists than the present variety of ready-shaped circular skirts; the newest being of white, pink, crim son, light blue, navy bluo or black French pique cut In seven Bores, with whlto Hamburg embroidery in every seam, and a pique rulllo around the lower edge, finished with similar em broidery. The same Idea comes un in plain colored embroidered lawns, where twelve pieces compose tho skirt with black lace Insertion In every seam. These come In patterns with material for the waists, at $18 and tho pique skirts tit $10. The circular llounco Is much employed on plquo dresses, with whlto braiding at both edges, and a blouse with reveres trimmed with one or two rows of embroidery has an open neck, requiring a shirt waist or chemisette below. A CRIMSON PIQUK JACKET, with largo embroidered and ruilled collar, revers at the front, a sailor back and crimson ribbon belt, Is very dashing for young girls, the same stylo being nlso shown In tan or blue, to bo worn with whlto pique skirts. I.lnon suits are very severe, short, plain jackets, and tho circular flounce Is often headed with a simple fold, or an apron front may be thus outlined. A strong demand exists for Foulard silks, the ground well coverd by small designs. Irregularly placed polka dots being In especial favor, maao up with a deep flounce curving Into an opening at tho front, and a second above It, each edged with narrow lace. TMMMINOS now como up in front and down at tho back, which Is a novelty, as it was Just tho opposite In the early part of tho season.

PROCESSION. Tho company then moved on townrd Jerusalem. Some broke off branches from ttees (Lev. xxll, 40) nnd others cast their garment in tho way. Learning of tho approach muny who had come up to tho feast went out from the city to meet tho advancing column (.lorn xil, 12-13). And so It csmo to pass th.it somo preceded and somo followed tho Saviour. Then began wild demonstrations of Joy. Some who had seen Lazarus raised from the dead (John xil, It), re cited the wonderful work of Jesus (Luko xlx, a"). At length a long nnd united shout tilled tho nlr, "Hosanna to tho son of David" (Matt. I, C). "Hlessed is He that comMh in the name of tho Lord." nnd words of llko Import (Luke II, II). liio Pharisees who mingled In tho crowd, ex postulated with Jesus, seeking to eneck this ovation In Ills honor, but Ho rcpliod thnt If the people wero sMcnt tho stones would cry out (Itch. II, 11; Luko xlx, SJ-lin, Palling In their purpose tho Pharisees whispered one to another (John xil, 19), that the world had gone nfter Jesus, thnt It was becoming a serious case of popu larity which they wero unnblo to check, demanding violent and oxpedltlous meas ures. WEEPING.-Another scene, directly opposite to tho former, perhaps witnessed before it. demands attention. On coming to nn eminence where the city was fully exposed to view and indescribable sorrow rame to tho heart of Jesus. Ho paused. The procession bf.lted. The tumult of ac claim was hushed. The glad cries sank Into silence. As He gared a rush of di vine compulsion welled up from His In most soul. Here, over fallen Jerusalem, IIo wept nloud. Hut why? He w.ij gazing with tho easle glance of precon ceived pronheoy. on a far distant scene. And ns the Islcn of the future tushed upon Hit gnze. as He lecnlled tho prom ise of p?aco which the very namo of the city breathed, and knew that she would see peace again no more, tho Saviour, who was soon to bo crucified, cried out, "If thou luulst known, even thou at least la this thy dny, the things that belong unto thy peine, but now they are hid from thine eyes." See Knriar's "Silence and Voices of God." So Jesus mourned Hie fate of the J.-wiill metropolis (Mult, will, '.'), whose obstruction by the Ro man army in the year "0 A. D., was tho execution of divine Judgment for long continued and desperate wickedness. There has been much speculation, Inno cent and natural, if not proiltable. con cerning what might have been, hnd Jeru salem accepteil the Lord, as Messiah. RECEPTION.-Ilow long the Suvlour mourned over the fated city we are not Informed. The procession passed on again, down the slope of Olivet, across- the ravine, through the gate. The cxclttd es cort renewed the Joyous demonstrations, and the metropolis, filled with strangers from all parts, was greatly moved by tho shouts of the multitude. "Who Is this''" The eager Inquiry spread from lip to Up (Matt, xxl, 10-11). And the answer was round yoke and blouse effect. The chiffon, passementerie, or lace and satin yoke, extends down the front to the waist, and the blouse sides are cut away to form a point at each side, just below the yoke. This outline may be simply edged, or a revers at back and front Is much more stylish, opening nt the top of the sleeve (through which ft Ills are visible) and at the center of the back, thus exactly matching the front. It must be clearly understood that In fancy waists, the revers never extends across the front, but Is sim ply an ornamentation, for sides and back, and now that fashions In general are on n settled basis, with persons of moderate means, the work of renova tion begins, and as new plain cloth tailor suits may be trimmed with very narrow striped silk rullles, the best parts of half-worn gowns, or rem nants lying by may be turned to ac count, and If wnshed with Ivory soap, the colors como out fresh and bright, thus avoiding the expense of new ma terial.

On a turquoise bluo and black net dress shown by a leading house, tjiero were sixteen rows of bluo satin ribbon with a black edge, between tho cuff and the rullles set In the nrmholes. White satin sleeves may be used when white shows In tho dress fabric tucked In clusters with bands of gilt passement erie between. White net skirts ornamented with gilt spangles are for evening wear, nnd white satin ribbon put on In dou ble points dotted with spangles forms a very attractive border, or satin rib bon may bo placed at intervals all the way up the skirt. A ribbon trimming Is not obligatory, as tho spangles in themselves nro sufllclontly ornamental, BODICES in keeping with these skirts uro shown In great numbers, and leaf, bow-knot or waving ribbon patterns In white satin or net, outlined with Bilt (war ranted not to tarnish) are brought out for fronts or vests, at $7 and $S per yard, so great Is tho demand for such trimmings.

CONCLUSION. KINODOM. The lemon bears directly nnd forcibly upon tho Messianic kingdom. It Is evident thot tho shouting multitude, Including tho disciples, thought they wero ushering in tho king who would break tho Roman yoke (Acts 1, C), and revive the national hopes. Probably they were disappointed when Jesus did not assert Himself and nssume the throno (Luke xxlv, 37). Hut what was Ills purpose? In ordering the colt did lie merely Intend to offer opportunity for such popular ex pression, thnt Ho might disslpato the mistaken notions? Or. did He by this meek and Inoffensive method Intend to Il lustrate the nature of His Kingdom (Luko 1, 32)? Coming not on a war horse, nor yet with weapons of war, but with the glad acclaim of followers and admirers. Ho may have Intended thus to show forth the reign ho sought to establish (Isa. lx, C-7). PRACTICAL. We sen that cities ns well as Individuals nre accountable (Ezek. vll, 23). Their Judgment comes In this world. Raised up for a purpose, possess ing opportunities nnd blessings, they may be spared for a time, but, if unfaithful, God will punish and destroy (l'sulni ix, 17) Sodnm, Gomorrah, Jerusalem their names are warnings to all municipalities. who "know not the day of their vislta- I tlon." Neglected opportunities, resulting i In Jerusalem s overthrow, excited Jesus to tears. Every gift of God is prompted by love. An Infinite Heart yearns to be stow, and then sorrows when the recip ient abuses the gift (Hob. x. 29). A stranger gave Jesus his colt for the ask ing. How much are we willing to glvo for the spread of Ills kingdom? (Psalm I, 10). Will we help to swell the anthems that now may bo heard around the globe? (Phil. II, 11).
