Bueno. 1.-The Cubans all over the
island sympathize with the revolution

parts of the province of st. Jago de
Cuba with the revolutionary troops,
and wherever we have been we were
received with open arms. So much
sympathy is felt i'll the cause Of free
Cuba that even the scouts and guides
employed by the Spanish troops keep
us advised as to the latter's move

troops used to chase us around from

we have to look for them, for they are
not inclined to show much fighting.

at work in the Western and Southern

not encouraging and the plan now. and
the one being worked here, is to make
a payment Of $40 necessary to secure
the charter of lodge, which can then
initiate as many members as it chooses
and on what terms it chooses. The
money paid for charters is to go to

"No, nothing of the kind"
'What are the facts as you understand

Good Roads.

Hon. j. o. Sanford, in late address,
says: Having charge of the roads in this
town Stamford, I, he concluded to try an
experiment in keeping in repair line OF
six miles during the season. For this
work he selected a man who could be
depended upon to carry out his purpose.
The man furnished horse and board
ed himself, the employer a cart and tools.
For this he was to have 50. day.
He was to pay strict attention to his
work and not listen to or be influenced
by what others might have to say about
what he was doing or the manner of do.
ing it.
He was to go over one mile of the road
each day of the week, and follow this up
during the season, except few weeks in
haying when, on Saturdays, he was to
pass over the entire six miles, to see that
all was in order.
he commenced his work early in the
season and his first business was to drain
the water from the ruts and mud holes
and fill the worst of these places as far
as the time would permit. The next
week he plowed up the work and con.
tinued to do so until it was completed
that is, all of the bad places were filled.
This was done with as good material as
could be found for the purpose.
No attention was paid to raising the
road, the work was simply to keep the
surface in the best of repair that could be
done by the method pursued.
At the end of each day he retraced the
mile on which he had worked to see that
all was right.
The result of this experiment was emil
nently success, as this line of road was
kept in much better repair and at less ex.
pense than had been the case in previous
years under the management then pur-
sued The cost of this work was $25O.55
per mile.
The principal reasons for this success
we're, that the man who did the work at.
tended to it faithfully and at time when
it would do the most good.
All loose stones we're promptly re-
moved, the water kept from doing dam
age as far as could be, and any little
break in a sluice or bad place in the road
repaired at once, before there was a
chance for casualty or serious hindrance
to travel.
1t is the want of this prompt attention
to our roads that causes so much loss
and inconvenience to towns and the pub
lie, so this experience is given with the
thought and hope that it may be found

enough they were going by the thou

found we could get railroad

Chicago, and this on strap rail running
at very slow rate. But in time, don't
remember how long, we found ourselves

of Lake Michigan, in mountains of sand
darker than darkness. We were half a
mile or more from any dwell ng. A
steamer was at the pier rocking by the
motion of the angry waters of Lake
Michigan. The sound of those waves in
the dark night time, to me, was not very
pleasant. Do you think we took to the
boat that night? No, by the dim lantern
