      The situation in Cuba remains much the same.

      The noteworthy event of the past week has been a sad and unfortunate shipwreck which occurred on October 16th.

      On that day a Spanish steamer was wrecked off the coast of Pinar del Rio, while making the trip from Havana to Bahia Honda.

      The Triton, as the steamer was called, was carrying soldiers' ammunition, money, and mules to be used against the Cubans in Pinar del Rio.

      According to all accounts the steamer was so heavily laden that when she started her decks were only a few feet above the level of the water.

      It was a very black and stormy night, and many sailors on the dock expressed fears that the vessel could not weather a storm in her heavily laden condition.

      The trip she had to make was merely a matter of four hours, and the captain declared himself confident of bringing his vessel safely to port.

      All went well till the Triton was within a few miles of her destination; when off the coast of Pinar del Rio she ran aground.

      As long as the vessel had been cutting her way through the water, the heavy lading had caused little inconvenience, but when she grounded the waves began to wash over her decks, and cause much alarm to the passengers.

      While the vessel was in great danger, she might still have been saved if it had not been for the mules. These beasts, becoming panic-stricken as the waves swept over the deck, stampeded to one side of the vessel, causing it to list over so much that the cargo shifted.

      This is one of the most terrible accidents that can happen to a vessel.

      The loading of a cargo is a very important thing, and
