in single nle each man with his arms prepared for
instant action. On the roadside, opposite to our
entrance separated by the trail, the Corporal and
a soldier were in kneeling position, one behind q
little bush and the other In the clear space, still
as statues OF stone, with rifles prepared, in
the attitude OF breathless watchfulness, scan-
ming the road in different directions while
we fled through between them, they closing up
the rear when we had passed. We plunged into
the forest with speed that threatened danger
can only impart and rapidly put leagues between
us and the 'Camino Rea de la Isla,n or high road.
After nghtfall
OUR GUIDE LOST HIS WAY,
and we wandered about in the woods until near
midnight, when, perspiring with toll, weary,
thirsty, hungry, we came to q halt near the cross
ing OF o half dried up stream, in an exposed posi-
ton, few yards from the roadside. Candle light
was used the next morning to show the way be-
fore daybreak. We had now passed good por-
ton OF Southern Jguani, were in q rolling and
broken country, approaching the mountains. At
sunrise the Cobre road was reached at a distance
OF about fourteen leagues west and inland from
Santiago. As we journeyed couple OF miles cast

the Guanomao River, where noticed what seemed
to be good deposit OF marble AT eleven O'Clock,
near Limones, we had to ford the Contramaestre
River, to do which 1t was necessary TO
USDRBss AND WADE ABOVE THE WAIST,
through Its clear, deliciously cool waters. We
soon came to an fnstdncid, clearing in the wood
the new home OF Cuban family, where we passed
the night.
Five O'Clock the next morning saw us on the
road west from simones, through some pleasing
and pretty scenery, reaching the Magote River for
our midday rest. After FIVE O'Clock we got to
Arrayou, where Cespedes had passed some time
while on his way to the camp OF Modesto Diaz. 1t

THE FIRST INTERVIEW WITH cEspEpEs.
We had marched about twenty-eight miles that
day. We had climbed the rugged sides OF Mount

the branches OF the outrageous trees, looked

Arriving at Hornas there was no guide to take
us on to Corajo, and there was prospect Of being
detained on that account perhaps, ten or fifteen
days. The next morning messenger was sent
back to Cebolla Blanca to try and get guide
there. On the way the important person sought
for was met and brought back to camp in triumph.
he gave us fresh news OF the whereabouts OF Ces-
pedes saying that the President was
IN PARAGUAY, AND NOT IN YARAYAGUAs.
That did not matter much to us, both places being
in the sub-dstrict OF Zarza, whittier we were
bound. The day after finding our new guide we
continued the march from Hormas, descending
from the mountains and passing the rivers Guisa
and Bayamo, the former within four leagues OF the
town OF that name. We passed some pieces OF
lovely scenery in the interesting foot hill country
Of this district. We saw many rich spots, where
the rich isancias OF other days lay mouldering in
charred ruins. The midday hour and siesta were
passed in Corajo We halted for the night In the
woods, near place called Cayito
Resuming our march from Cayito we came across
a newly planted Cuban Gordon, detached post in
the woods. 1t consisted OF two men, whose duty
It was to perform the services OF courers and
guides. They told us 1t was about
TWELVE LEAGUES TO THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT,
and that we could get there tomorrow. The
rascals lied, though perhaps they did not know 1t.
Here our guides relieved each other. The new one
took us to q nearby sugar cane field, where the
men ate to their entire satisfaction. The new
guide broke the cane and squeezed the juice fle,ce)
out OF into a cocoanut cup, from which drank
heartily. At this part Of journey we were near
the Spanish fort OF FL Dati, and hence mad to con-
tinue the route with great caution.
SPANISH COW TRAP.
Going through the grounds OF a ruined istancia,
just after fording the Bayamo River, we came
across cable trap, or snare, artfully and newly
set, in trail, so as to catch the first cow that
might pass. 1t was the Spaniards, who could not
be far or, that had adopted this means OF supply
Ing themselves with butchers meat On this alter

was told that the President was permanently
camped at place called the Maeno, three leagues
of, and that could go there tomorrow after
breakfast This news was innnite balm to my
uneasy spirit; yet was so anxious and impatient
to consummate the one great object OF my mission
that sleep nearly forsook my weary eyes that night
even after having walked thirty miles under a
burning sun. I dined with Diaz that evening on
the usual camp fare-peef and potatoes. Julia is
seldom eaten here, there being plenty Of cattle in
the sdvannahs.
Mr.. O'KELLY's RETURN TRAIL.
During dinner the General told me that Mr..
O'Kelly had left camp for Manzanio about two
weeks ago. since when he had been a prisoner In
Fort Corona This greatly surprised me; for
before leaving Santiago, I had received assur-
ances, to be conveyed to Mr. 0'Kelly that the Cap
tain General had consented to punish him with
expulsion only from the island, provided he pre-.
sented himself was also informed that two days
ago the Cubans had attacked the Ingenias OF San
Francisco and Rosario Many arms and hun dreds
OF heads OF cattle were captured This news, from
evidences around me, must have been true.

pedes, President OF the Republic OF Cuba.
Ibreakfasted with General Diaz, who lent me
fine mule OF his own, and, in company with
couple OF onlcers and three or four men, started
for the residence OF the Executive. The route was
south from Bermeja, through the forest and across
the River De Los Machos, where saw in many fresh
bullet holes In the trees signs Of fight that had
taken place about week ago between the oppos-
ing forces. Cespedes' camp was now about
league south from the scene Of this late action.
On the foot hills above the little river were several
abandoned camps OF the Cubans. In a clearing
near one Of these tree stump was pointed out as
being the spot where Commandant Davan, the late
spanish commander Of CslisIte, had been shot.
