s'Wiu you give me some Information

~ will tell you something about his teeth. In
the first interview which had with Cespedes did
not have very much time to examine him closely.
and in my description Of his person made one
serious error said his teeth were remarkably
well preserved, and SO they are, with only one ex-
cepton, and this is a very noticeable one. In q,
fall from his horse he broke slightly one OF his
front teeth, but happened to be looking at the
side which is perfect did not notice the damage
he had sustained. consider this very impor.
tant rectifcation."
ABOUT CUBA LIBRE
ssYou have told me something about the teeth or
the President, now say something about the teeth
Of the insurgonts.n
"If you want to know all 1 know you must frst
get me out OF this Furthermore, It is useless To-
touch the subject OF the insurrection In bits an6
scraps as It would only make wrong
Impression. Numerous columns must be writ
ten to make the state Of affairs In tho'
interior clear to the people Of the United States.
All can say is that nearly all the ideas popu-
larry entertained about CUBA Lfore are false or
exaggerated. 1t Is an absolutely unknown land,
misrepresented alike by friends and enemies"
'Have you seen any OF the deserters from tbs
Spanish army reported to be numerous among tho
insurgents ?"
"In the last tnsurgent encampment through
which passed there were some hundred and dfty
armed volunteers, with their families, in all NUM-
berng some six hundred, who few days before
had passed over to the Cabans, carrying with
them their commander, q Spaniard, who was shot
as prisoner Of war the day previous to my leav-
ing the encampment."

the insurgents9n y, ..,t...rr $3.50

was allowed every facility to acquaint myself with
the state OF their affairs. In fact owing to the
peculiar circumstances In which they live it would
have been almost impossible for them to prevent
my learning all that was passing about me-"
After some further conversation OF no public in-
terest withdrew, leaving Mr.. O'KeIy to bis
thoughts and his companions. the forger and the
