A worthy Independent citizen waited
at the poll last Tuesday evening until
the count for Moseley reached l25 and
then went home to bed, confident that
"Pink" was all right. Waking up
however, about midnight, he heard to
his horror, terrible uproar, hopping,
halloing, the shooting of pistols, &C.
and exclaimed, "The id Radicals have
won after all No one else would make
such h-ll OF noise at this time of
night !"
He slept miserably until morning, but
an early walk convinced him that human
nature is the same all the world over,
and gave him, beside, a good appetite
for breakfast.

they admitted there were present over six
hundred men. In the night force of about
one hundred and thirty men were sent on
reconnaissance to Jiguani with
ORDERS TO FIRE ON THE SOLDIERS
in order to induce them to pursue the party.
Whether the Spaniards were advised or not

tachment arrived everything was as still as
death in the town. scout was sent forward
twice, and he reported the houses abandoned
as far as the trincherd, or Notifications. The
detachment which was under the command of
Lieutenant Colonel Saladrios,
ENTERED THE TOWN IN THREE DIVISIONS,
and arrived close to the barricade occupied
by the Spaniards. As the Cuban troops en-
tered the Spanish soldiers were crying the
alerta, and nothing transpired to indicate that
they were aware Of the presence of the Cubans

When the divisions reunited it was found
that two men had been killed and
eight wounded, two of the latter NOR
tally. The only compensation for this
severe loss was few articles Of clothing
found in the deserted houses. This check
seemed in no way to dampen the spirits Of
the troops, and the hope was constantly ex-

sesses the properties of mind necessary for
leader in the peculiar class of wars waged by
the Cubans Like the majority of the Cuban
officers, he has not had the advantage of
military education, and knows little about the
science of war, except what he has learned
during the four years struggle for indepen-
dence. The fundamental
PRINCIPLES OF GUERILLA WARFARE
are well understood by the Cuban officers,
thanks to the instruction Of
TWO DoMNIcANs, GENERALS GOMEZ AND DIAz.
General Gomez is a war-worn soldier, brave,
energetic and OF character Of iron. He is,
however, wanting in the higher education Of
an officer, and he has apparently received o
general education less broad than his pupil,
Calixto Garcia. He had, however, the advan-
tage Of very long experience Of war and a
thorough practical knowledge of irregular war
fare. In great part the successful resistance
of the Cubans during the first years of the war
was due to the consistency and unwavering
resolution Of Diaz and Gomez and, whatever
may be the final issue Of the struggle, these
two men must occupy prominent position in
the history Of Cuba. The news Of the estab-
lishment of
THE REPUBLIC IN SPAIN
was the chief topic Of discussion. There
seemed to be very general agreement Of
opinion that it would be of short duration
and would share the fate of most other Span
