private letter from an American gentleman
I'M Havana states an incident rs occurring AZ the

which is interesting II true. 1t IS that when
Col CRITTENDEN was told 10 turn his back and
kneel he impatiently exclaimed " No kneet

The guard stepped back. and he was lett to lace
the almost instant FIRE of the platoon, which he
did with the utmost GOODNESS. An American Is
usually man, whether as bravo. patriot, or
In almost any other phase OF life. The same
letter states that Gen CoNcHA deeply regret

compliance with the positive Oricrs 10 that ci-
feet which had been promulged ny the HoNrih-
ment. but there was 10 possible alternative -
This seems to explain the contrast drawn be-
tween this act, and the generally understood
character of Gen. CoNcHA. which IS that oil
generous and humane soldier.
There was another Fhbusiicr demonstration

destiny is great thing and the speaker IN
sisted that II uas a great thing, and that we must
have Cuba any how
II would be well if all Cuban demonstrations
were as harmless as this VS.. though one can
