A large crowd attended the masn meeting held at the Casino last night for the purpose of enlisting men for a new military company. It had been expected that Mayor W. A. Post and Mr. R. G. Bickford would address the meeting, but both of tbe.se gentlemen were detained by pressing business engagements. Among those who attended the meeting were many ladies with their escorts.-but it was ob? served that none of them urged their best fellows to ?nlist. Attorney C. C. Berkley addressed the meeting, stating that it was the pur? pose of the organizers to secure the names of forty-one men and then effect permanent organization by electing the officers. He explained that there would probably be another call for troops, and urged those present to enlist and thus relieve themselves of the stigma of be? ing drafted, should such a thing be necessary. The new names added to the list swelled it to twenty-six. and from now on a personal canvass will be made. Next Monday night another meeting will be held, when the company will be organized. Following are the names added to the roll last night: J. J. Woodhouse, Jr. Harry Bartlett. Dempsey Jones. H. B. Alexandria. G. Smlthers. W. B. lVeV. L. R. Todd. O. Martin. W. B. Furman.

METHODIST CONFERENCE. j Ordination of Bishops Chandler and Morrison the Feature of the Session. IBy Telegraph.) BALTIMORE. May 19.?The principal feature of today's session of tue gene? ral conference of the Methodist Epis? copal Church. South, was the ordina? tion of Bishops Chandler and Morrison, who were elected on Tuesday. The ceremony, which was a most impressive one, was presided over by the Rev. Dr. Keener, who resigned his bishopric und was placed on the superannuated list at his own request on the first day of the present session. Bishop Key read the Epistle, Bishop Fitzgerald read an extract from tine gospel of St. John and Bishop Wilson delivered a sermon, after which the newly elected bishops were presented for ordination. Former Bishop Keener then offered a prayer, Bishop Duncan delivered an addrss, and Bishop Galloway ottered prayer. Bishop Granberry addressed and cate? chised the candidates, after which came the solemn act of consecration, consisting of the laying on of hands by all of the bishops of the church. Each of the candidates was then pre? sented with a Bible by Bishop Hendrix, who at the same time exhorted them. This was followed by the benediction, pronounced by the venerable Dr. Keener, and the ceremony was end? ed. A resolution Introduced in conference by Mr. J. P. Strother. of California, and Mr. L. S. Woods, of Tennessee, was adopted. The resolution recog? nizes the late Mr. Gladstone's wonder? ful genius and the many-sided devel? opments of his thought and energies in behalf of every phase of civilization. The resolution calls him a great En? glishman, a friend of humanity every? where, the friend of America and the prophet of her greatness and the friend of God. Sympathy is tendered to Eng? land. Rev. Dr. Lambut, of Nashville, was elected to the missionary board on the first ballot, and Rev. J. H. Pritchett, of Albany, Mo., on the third ballot. Rev. Dr. P, H. Whisner, of Staunton, Va., a member of the Baltimore con? ference, was elected secretary of the board of church extension. Dr. Whis? ner received 155 votes. NOT A COMPLETE FAILURE. Something Accomplished by the Gus sie Expedition After All. (By Telegraph.) JACKSONVILLE, FLA.. May 19.? A special to the Times-TJnion and Cit? izen from Key West.

Spanish guerillas hat: been assigned to the duty of patrolling the shore. A boat from the Gussie landed twenty men. They hart hardly set foot upon shore before a furiotif volley was fired at them by the guer Ullas, who were concafcled in the thick? ets on the coast of the low hills. The American party advanced, were halted when in range and the order 'fire' was given.

NOT PREP?#&) FOR WAR In Sjilte uf K?mest: ElTurts No Positive Sturt ii.ts v?t Ugea Matte Toward Ha Uoul uy.Mie Army of Wf:". Oeeouatiou. (By Telegraph.) WASHINGTON, May 19.?With every disposition on the part of the executive to make the war short, sharp and deci? sive, it is beginning to be realized that the short-comings of our military serv? ice are so many that delays are Inev? itable and that much work will be nec? essary to put the nation in efficient lighting shape, livery day brings forth some weak spot that has to be strengthened or some hidden defect, such as the discovery at this late mo? ment that every regular army officer who accepted a volunteer appointment would forfeit-his commission in the reg? ulars and so become liable to be left out or the service entirely at the end of the war. Few officers cared to risk their future in that way, so a rush was made toward Congress to secure the necessary corrective legislation. Again it has been found that the equipment of the army, small as it I? in comparison with the great army of the rebellion, is sadly lacking. Nearly a month after the formal declaration of war the War Department today pur chase^ a number of shelter tents and It has just secured the hammocks that experts say are essential to existence in Cuba. These preparations Involve delay, so that it Is not remarkable that in spite of the Herculean efforts of the officers of the army no positive start has yet been made toward its goal by the army of occupation. Probably it la this fact, rather than any unreadiness on the part of the navy. that, causes the campaign to drag in its inception, for the Navy Department has announced that it stood ready at any moment to furnish convoys for the troop trans? ports, provided they were started from 'V' .-VKjunl. ooeu,4,-,.-.. .^i'Ti-.Mie army of 200,000 men To maintain' lV>H cost $30.000.000, ac for six months staSlrriaDiP.ared by Pay cording to estimate* Hid the lead muster General Station, a, -v-*^1" tliat ing officials are beginning to pPp^thls hostilities may run along beyon;. period. The reason is the growing co?rc viction on the part of some of the otti-' cers that they must not reckon any substantial assistance from the Cuban rebels in this campaign and moreover must meet the Spaniards in Cuba In their strongest sphere, that of the de? fensive. Naval authorities are relieved of a good deal of embarrassment by the consent .of the French authorities at Martini^Xi,*oJillTi"'.Jhe seou^ns vessel her repairs are compTei^tfr''"it wifisVffltM Iiosed at first that Bhe would be allow? ed only seven days' stay, and at the end of that time would be forced out to risk attack at the hands of some ambushed Spanish cruiser or torpedo boat. Work on the three monitors, Maho pac, C'anonicus and Manhattan at League Island has advanced so far that the department expects to have them in service within a week or two. They have been supplied with tubular boil? ers in place of the rusted out boilers they have carried since the war. These monitors will be a valuable addition to the coast defense ships. The absence of official news of any character from the fleets at the Navy Department today gave the widest Held for speculation and all sorts of sto- i lies were afloat as to the whereabouts of the vessels and the imminence of an engagement. The report that came from Madrid of the bombardment of Santiago received some credence, inasmuch as it seemed to show that General Greeley, the chief signal officer, has not set in motion the machinery of the navy to carry out his declared purpose of cutting the cables that afford the last connection between Havana and the outside world and thus isolate Blanco. It is not believed that the bombard? ment amounted to anything more than this. Judge Advocate General I-amley to? day completed the circular defining the chief characteristic of the sixteen tor? pedo boat destroyers and twelve tor? pedo boats, provided for by Congress In the present naval appropriation bill. The destroyers are to be of a larger type than any vessels of that kind we now have in the service, about 400 tons, but the torpedo boats will be about the size of tile average torpedo boat now in use. namely, about 150 tons. Bidders are left the widest liberty in the matter of original designs, but no bid will be considered which fails to guarantee a speed of not less than 2S knots for destroyers and 2? knots for torpedo boats. Not more than eighteen tnd twelve months respectively will be allowed to complete these boats, and shortness of time of construction will be an important element in determin? ing awards. The long expected appoint? ments of officers to the staff of the .'ourteen new major generals have been made, so that the way is now clear for the entry upon active duty of the ofli j cers who have been obliged for several I weeks to remain in Washington. U. S. SHIPS AT SANTIAGO. Drew the Fire of Batteries at the Har? bor Entrance. (Copyright 1898, by Associated Press.) KINGSTON, JAMAICA, May 19.?3 P. M.?Two American warships whose names were not discernible from the shore appeared off Santiago de Cuba yesterday while the steamer Adula, .Villah has arrived here from that poit ivlth refugees, was in the harbor. They approathed and drew the fire if the batteries at the entrance of the larbor. it is not certain whether the .varships replied to the Are. Tlhe firing ontinued from noon to 1 o'clock. Cap ain Walker, of the Aduila, when cotn ng out, could not see any marks on lorro Castle and inferred that the. .nierican ships drew the fire of the latteries to learn the range. There was much excitement in the ity. The regulars and volunteers vere called out and new earthwork latteries erected on each side of Che arbor entrance. The number and cal bre of the guns are unknown, but it is nown that there are twenty-one tor :Cdoes in the channel, electrically coll? ected with the shore. The cruiser Mercedes, whose boilers re disabled, has been anchored so she in rake the channel for three hundred ards. and the merchant ship Mexico, Barcelona,^ mounting four small, tulck-flring guns, is in the harbor, everal coasting steamers and schoon rs are at the wharves. A few days go a German steamer brought 16,000 ags of rice to Santiago De Cuba. Rice and sardines are the principal food supplies. Last night, when about sixty miles from Santiago De Cuba, seven large steamers, moving in two columns crossing the Adula's course, were seen going west. They were evidently war? ships, but their natlonat'ty eouii net be identified. The Adula brought 225 passengers. KINGSTON, JAMAICA. May 19.? The description given by the first mate and five seamen of the Adula agree as to the .leet that crossed her cours. a few minutes after midnight this morning. Four of the seven ships were large cruisers and three were small. They were about four miles -llstant when the steamer Intercepted them about three miles off the coast. There is no doubt they were Spanish vessels, it is feared that if they were on the way to Cienfuegos they may destroy the American blockade squadron. THE CIENFUEGOS FIGHT. Spanish Loss Much Heavier Than at First Reported. (Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.) KEY WEST. FLA., May 19.?The Spa-nish loss during the recent engage? ment at Cienfuegos is now known to have been much heavier than at first reported. Three hundred Spaniards were killed and several hundred woun? ded. Great damage was done along the coast. Soon after the engagement the United States cruiser Marblehead pick? ed up several Cubans in an open boat some miles down the coast, including Colonel Oriz, Lieutenant Olrex and three privates from an insurgent camp near Cienfuegos. They reported that the Spanish losses and the damage done by the shells from the warships were very heavy. The hospitals at Cien? fuegos, they said, were full of wounded, and fear prevailed everywhere that the American ships would return to com? plete the work of destruction. During the engagement, the Marblehead threw 450 5-inch shells into the Spanish forces and 700 shots from her second battery. The gunboat Nashville fired as many more shells and 1,500 shots from her second battery. Fifteen hun- I dred Spaniards were stationed in an imprisoned fortress in the lighthouse, and on this the ships concentrated their fire, and It was here that the worst destruction was wrought. Just after the lighthouse was blown up five Span lards who were running together In an attempt to escape were picked off by a shell from the Marblehead, the gunner being ordered to fire upon them by En? sign Pratt. They were torn to pieces. The men who manned the cutter did so under instructions, and they witk; stood the fire poured upon them w'tn the utmost calmness. The Cubans were supplied with 6.000 rounds of ammunition, and all but one of them got ashore. '^AGREEABLE UNDERSTANDING. 15 RjFYIendship Between This Traditionaf^??^ance t0 Continue.

If the report which comes from Ha? vana to the effect that a German war? ship insulted the American Hag while going Into that port, is true, the Uni? ted States should demand an explana? tion and an apology from the Ger? man government. If the snub is simply an indication of the feeling of the Ger? man people in reference to the Spanish American war the incident is of small moment. If, however, it expresses the leeling of the German govern men t it is of vast importance. At any other time the United States might afford to look over the Insult to the American flag, whether accidental or intended, but now, when it is imperative that we should know our enemies as well as our friends, an investigation should be made so as to find out whether Ger? many is our enemy or neutral. This country wants no trouble with the German Empire or any other na? tion, but there can be little doubt that the combined threats and enmity of all the continental powers would not serve to- make it deviate one hair's breadth sf-lrom the right and just course mapped out. An intelligent Frenchman writing foi one of the Paris newspapers displays his knowledge of American geography by saying the time has arrived for the Cape Verde fleet to strike the "New England coast, say somewhere about Delaware, and establish a base of sup? plies." So long as the Spanish fleet re? mains as far away from danger as Delaware Is from New England, It may not get hurt. It Is not surprising that the English speaking world should Join in heartfelt sorrow for the grand old man who peacefully met his end yesterday morn? ing. Statesmanship, patriotism, human itarianism, and philanthropy v re the guiding stars of a long and splendidly filled career. Not England alone, but the whole world should mourn th? death of William E. Gladstone. Unfortunately Honest John Wana maker's squadron doesn't seem to be fitted out with the latest improved Spanish disappearing battleships and cruisers. Therefore, that bold. bad piratical leader of the other faction isn't doing a single, solitary thing for bim. An esteemed London contemporary Is authority for the statment that "Admi? ral Dewey is disliked in certain quar? ters because he is a dude." We are re? liably informed, however, that the Spaniards have a more tangible reason for disliking the hero of Manila. Inasmuch as the United States went into the scrap without asking Prince Bismarck to either umpire or referee the affair, it is by no means likely that much sleep will be lost on account of his adverse criticism. The Illness of Bismarck may explain the Interview with the "Iron Chancel lor" which was sent all over the coun try yesterday morning. _ ._ NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, No great success at? tended any effort to awaken active speculative interests iu stocks today. There was in fact no very vigorous ef? fort to do so, the powerful influences in the market being apparently con lent to rest on their oars and wait for more definite information of the oper? ations of the opposing fleets in the West Indian waters. The measures taken by the government to stop all information on this subject have appa? rently proved entirely successful, and Wall Street was completely In the dark. There was a number of conspic? uous advances during the day, but th?y were by no means uniform nor were they simultaneous. A feature of the trading was the way in which stocks which have lain dor? mant for some time were awakened In? to movement, and in almost all cases this movement was sharply upward. There was also a considerable demand for small lots of dividend paying and higher priced investment stocks such as is always concurrent with a release of large sums of money and an extension of credits. Bonds showed a notable awakening into activity evidently a result of the more abundant supply of money. The Missouri Pacific issues were all in de? mand and were advanced from 1 l-2@ 3 1-2 per cent. There were very heavy dealings also in Union Pacific fours at a slight concession (rom last night's price. The total sales of stocks today were 259,600 shares. Atchison. J??

In th? early portion of his career, while yet unknown to fame, ho found the summer lapsing by without having secured an engagement. It was not until late in October that he received no offer to fill a vacancy that had occurred in a St. Louis theater. As the position ho was about to fill was a subordinate one, he was obliged to seek cheap lodgings. A chance acquaintance on the train recommended him to an obscure hotel on a back street. Weoriod with his long journey from New York?for there were no sleeping cors in those days?he begged to bo shown imme? diately to his room. As tbere was no gas In the hotel, a sleepy bellboy lighted u di? minutive oandlo and oscortod him to his chamber. 1 Just as they commenced the ascent of the second night of stairs they wore star? tled by tho most horrid laugh tor, apparent? ly from some ono iu a room on tbo corridor they were approaching. The servant hastened to explain that it was a gentleman who had been drinking too much aud was suffering with delirium tremens. My friend hesitated about proceeding farther, but on tho assurance of thu serv? ant that this was tho first tlmo that tbe sick man had mado any noise and tliut ho was in chnrgo of two friends who had volunteered to ait up with him Churley concluded to proceed. The wind was howling mournfully around the house, and tho rain beat wildly on tho window punus. Hastily disrobing himself and extinguishing tho candle, be enjoyed tho luxury of tbo first stretoh in 4t> hours. Ho fell asleep almost instantly. How long ho remained so ho could not toll, but some time during tho night bo was awak? ened by a quick, sharp noise at his bedside resembling the overthrow of u pieco of furnituro or the bursting open of a door. Starting up in his bod, he was horrified to sec standing near him a figure in white, with glaring oyus and disheveled hair, ap? parently about to spring upon him. Ho ut once realized tho situation. Tho victim of monia-a-potu had escaped from his watchers and obtained admission to his room. Almost as suddenly, however, tho apparition vanished. The disappearance affected him no loss seriously, for he knew not from what quarter to expect an attack. Anything was preferable to such uncer? tainty, and momentarily expecting to on oouutor tho maniac he groped his way in the dark to the tablo whoro ho bad loft his candle. It seemod an age to him before ho sue ceeded in obtaining a light. When itf feebio glimmer penetrated the room, to bin astonishment it was empty. Arming himself with his enno, ho aora menced a search, but without discovering tho intruder. Tho door was lockod on tin __insido and tho windows wero secured. tr^-L-- r?'iYfiHnu closet in tho room, ant Thuro was iStr^j'Jjji' ifi tbat was empty. '"-4ust"r??{..Could 11 Could ho have boen mistnifS?.ships, have been a dream f ^n. _thc At all events, there was no moro sleet for him thut night. After dressing him self he was about to go to tho olHco of tbt hotel and apply for another room, whan It occurrod to him that it would be rathci embarrassing to explain ills reason for ce manding a change, and in the hope that It was near morning, for ho had no watch, be wrapped tho bedclothes around him and sat in a chair awaiting tho break oi day. Tho candle burned to its sooket long be? fore day duwnod. Its first feeble glimmer had hardly matin its appearance whotl he descended to tbe office and waited his breakfast, with the determination of seek? ing othor quarters afterward. Ho hud decided to say nothing of his 6core, but whon tbe clerk, surprised at bis oarly appearance, inquired if he had not rested comfortably ho determined to con lido in him, with tho hopo of obtaining an explanation of tbo mystery. Tho elerk evidently believed that it was nothing but n dream, but lie sont to in? quire if tho sick mau had left his room during thu night. Ho received the positho assurance of both tho watchers tha? be had rested very quietly and that such a thing was impossible, as neither of them had closed his eyes. In the hope of setting his mind at rest tho clerk suggested thut he should sit near tbo door of the breakfast room and Inspect the faces of tho guests to identify If possi? ble the intruder. Tho arrangement was carried out, and after the last guest had breakfasted my friend was forced to bclievo that none of thorn could havobeon tho intruder, but the impression yet remained thut he couid not havo been deceived. Tho clerk determined to go up stairs and mako an examination of the room. This was dono in tho presence of my friend, who accompanied him without dis? covering any possible means of exit. Vexed and annoyed with himself for having invited by bis confession the ill ooncealcd amusement of tho clerk, he sat upon tho edge of the bed, endeavoring to recall all tho circumstances of the case. While in this position ho slowly raised his bead, when his eyes encountered'what seemed to be tho apparition that had pre? viously presented itself. A second glanco reddened his checks with shame when he recognized himself In a mirror. With this clow to guido him ho discov? ered that the noiso which had awakened him was made by tbo porter of the hotel, who overturned a chair iu un attempt to extinguish a lamp which was burning in tho corridor. Starting in surprise from a heavy sleep, my friend bobeld, by tho briof light of the lamp which shone through the transom of t he door, bis own reflection in tbe glass, which disappeared, of course, when tbo tight was extinguished. This is the veracious history of a man who was frightened by his own shadow.? Philadelphia Item. How He Shot. A Texas military company was out on the range recently practicing at rifio shooting. The lieutenant in command suddenly became exasperated at the poor shooting and, seizing a gun from one of the privates, cried sharply: "I'll show you fellows how to shoot!" Taking a long aim, and a strong aim, and an aim altogether, be fired and missed. Coolly turning to tbe private who owned tbe gun, ho said: "That's tho way you shoot.'* Ho again loaded the weapon and missed. Turning to the second man in the ranks, ho remarked: "That's tbe way you shoot." In this wty he missed about a dozen times, illustriting to each soldier his per? sonal incapacity, and finally be acoiden j tally hit the t-argot I "And that," ho ejaculated, handing tbe gun back to the private, "is the way X shoot."?Los Angeles Express. jjj^'j An ExcchhIvl- Rate.

Two thirds I of the measure has been read, the committee amendments generally ha ing been agreed to. Mr. McLaurln (Democrat), of South Carolina, opened the discussion of ti bill today with a carefully prepar: all transfers of stocks was considered Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, said the com mlttee had not carefully covered agree ments to sell stock, and that if it should be established that "agreement to sell" should not bear stamps unless an nctunl transfer of stock took place, agree? ments might be made and then a set? tlement effected between the parties without an actual transfer of stoc The paragraph was amended so as clearly cover all agreements y- \'.r stock, whether the stock. transferred or not.. J^.1-r"^e3 actually Mr. DanieL" UDon tho ir^i ?l Virginia, speaking -^^?^in?baeco schedule, expressed his ^??.?.enication that the Senate commit? tee had stricken out the House provis? ion subjecting stocks on hand to the ad? ditional tax proposed. He objected se? riously to the retroactive feature of the House bill as applied to the tobacco schedule. It had aroused a storm of protests in every commercial center of the country. He declared the adoption of the retroactive feature would result in the ruin of all small dealers and leave the tobacco trade in the hands of monopolies. The proposition to place a stamp tax upon proprietary articles and perfumeries now in stock aroused lively discussion. It was regurded as j retroactive legislation, ami as such, was opposed by many Senators. The para? graph has not been disposed f dually. At 4:55 P. M. the Senate went into executive session and at 5:35 P. M. ad? journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WASHINGTON, May III.?The ad? journment of the House until Monday postpones until next week any consid? eration of the Hawaiian resolutions. The impression that the committee on rules will provide tor bringing up the resolutions next week is strong. It is I said that Speaker Heed is ready to yield to the demands for consideration, and it Is believed the revenue bill by the middle of the coming week will well on its way toward passage in the Senate that action upon the Hawaiian.! matter In the House will promise delay in disposing of the revenue bill. This will remove the ground for what has been weighty objection to acting upon the resolutions upon the part of Mr. Dlngley and a considerable element in the House, and with that out of the way it is believed consideration of the Hawaiian question will follow speedily. An agreement to postpone consideration of the Brown-Swanson election case from the Fifth Virginia district until the next session of Congress was reach? ed. Notice that the case would 1 called up today was given yesterday. After passing the labor arbltratit bill, as amended by the Senate, and experiencing a brief political tilt, pre cipitated by a general political explan? ation from Mr. Tongue (Republican), of Oregon, the House adjourned until Monday. j As Man? Kinds of Turtle aa Fi? When, on occasions all too rare, you have Indulged In green turtle soup, have you ever given thought to the turtle? Did you know that there were tur? tles of eo many kinds that it required the mind of a naturalist to remember their names? And did you know that out of all these, only two varieties were convertible into savory soup? They are the Chelonia Mydas and a Tariety of terrapin. They are caught mainly In the Gulf Of. Mexico. The desirable weight for a turtle is from 110 to 140 pounds. It la a delicate being and requires ten derest care or it will inconsiderately die before being cooked. At the same time, by an almost feminine contradtc torlness, it is very tenacious of life, and while it may perish of a chilly breeze, it is quite likely to refuse to die for twelve or fifteen hours after having its head chopped off. The turtle which provides soup for Aldermanic banquets and that which provides combs for Aldermanic wives are not the same brand. The latter is the hawk's bill turtle. The common turtle Js the only am? phibious animal whose contentment Is proverbial, but whose brain is so small that it can't be taught a single trick. A?eo ABOUT ?-HK PIERS.

Have Been Stripped of Valuable Possession* Wulch a Little Tact auil tiootl Government Would Have Retained. The general rebellion of Spain's American colonies occurred in the ear? ly years of the present century. Not only were Spain's affairs in a desperate condition abroad, hut also at home dire dissension prevailed, in the autumn I of 1819 a considerable army had been brought together at Cadiz for the sub? jugation of their resulted possessions in America. But the officers and troops I refused to embark, and a series of internal disruptions followed. The revolt in Spain's Argentine colo- j nies in South America broke out in 1810. In that year Chile and Para? guay successfully rebelled. The war for Chile's independence lasted eight years. The Argentine Republic estab? lished its independence in 1810. Ven? ezuela. Ii iiador and New Granada, or Colombia, ei e lost by revolt in 1819. I The revolt in these States was led by Simon bolivar, named El Libertador for having rescued South America from the Spanish yoke. Bolivar also led the insurgents in Holivia and Peru, the lat? ter State being the last of Spain's pos sessions on the American continent to establish its independence. This was in 1S20. The Spanish conquered Peru early in the sixteenth century. Peruvian silver was freely poured Into Spanish coffers, and was drained out again to meet the expenses of the wars which the Spanish home government maintained. At the outbreak of the war of independence in South America, the Spanish Govern? ment had already declined greatly in internal strength. Spain was distract? ed with the dissensions of a regency, and was racked by civil war. Howev? er, in 1820 the Spanish Viceroy had an army of 2:i,0U0 men in Peru, aud all the large towns were completely in the hands of the Spanish officials. Brazil belonged to Spain in 1578. in that year it was wrested from the Por? tugese, who hud discovered it at an earlier date. During Spain's troubles with the Netherlands, the Dutch cap? tured Brazil, and from the Dutch the State gained lls independence. As to the States of Guiana, their ti? tles were much in dispute for many years. Spain owned what is now Brit? ish (Jniatia In 1580, and lost the V,"^^, Ince In 1002 to the Dutc^-^?m whom it went to the Y^flgllsh. Mexico w;)a lne richeBL ana most pop u-'tids of all the Spanish-American col? onies. Frequent insurrections occurr? ed here during the Napoleonic wars in j Europe. Tending the war for Mexican independence the most revolting atroc- j ities were perpetrated on both sides. The Spaniards conducted hostilities with the most wanton cruelty. The war was nne of extermination, the in? surgents being slaughtered like brutes. In 1824 the independence of Mexico was recognized by every( country ex? cept Spain. Spain relinquished Florida to the United States by treaty and purchase in 1821. The Bahamas, which were Colum? bia's earliest discovery, were depopu? lated by the Spanish and were never again settled by them. The English occupied them in 1029. After the wa*s with Spain and France the British se? cured the Bahamas by the treaty of 17S3. Jamaica, which was discovered by Columbus on his second voyage, in 1494, was taken possession of by the Spaniards in 1509. The inhumanity of the conquerors was so great that fifty years after the Spanish Invasion the native population is said to have en? tirely disappeared. Oliver Cromwell sent out a British expedition in 1055 which captured the island, and in 1070 it was formally ceded to England by the treaty of Madrid. Haiti's early history corresponds with that of Jamaica. Within little more than an age after 1492 tbe abo? rigines had been swept away by the re? morseless cruelties of the Spaniards. The eastern part of the island finally wrested itself from the Spanish in 1805 and established Santo Domingo. When Magellan, in 1519, circumnavi? gated the world for the first time, be claimed all the Islands of the East In? dies for Spain. The Philippines alone to-day remain under Spanish domina? tion. The other islands of this group fell to the French. English and Dutch during the wars waged by Spain with these countries from the time of Phil? ip II, to the close of the Napoleonic wars In 1S15.
