A ROMANCE IN GUBA.

| the extreme heat of some months each
wear is unhearable You remember
| the entrance to Havana harbor is
guarded by Moro castle The garrison
! numbers about two hundred men. Three
wears ago last June the temperature
! rose beyond all previous records, and
| the suffering was intense. The authori-
! ties were drcadingthe possible invasiOH
of Cuba's deadliest scourge yellow
! fever News came to the city Of the

| Immediately steps were taken for the
complete isolation of the fort No
boats were allowed to land from the
infected locality, and none were brave
! enough to venture the casting of their
| lot with the garrison.
"Thc heat waNed in intensity as the
days went by. Long had the distress
signal waved from the fort flagstaff.

of salute, their number deuoaug how
many brave fellows had succumbed
that day.
Cone morning the climax appeared
to be reached. The suns rays fairly
penetrated ones clothing and scorehcd
