And what of the people of this interest
ing country? They number but PSI, 900,
an intnitesimal proportion of what the
area could support. When the Dutch went
there in the fifteenth century, tho forests
were the home of large tribes OF red Indi-

from the northern part of the continent
along the chain of islaslds across the Carib-
bean sea. Now, however, there are scarce
ly &c, 900 aborigines between the Orinoco
and tho Corentyn. The Caribs, the only
warlike and courageous tribe among them,
are practically extinct. The few who re-
main have lost their love of battle.
There Is no market for slaves such as
that established by the Dutch nearly 800
years ago on the Orinoco delta, and with
the cessation Of the trade in Indian labor
for the Dutch plantations in the Pomeroon
and Essequibo districts the Caribs found
their occupation gone. They have dwin-
died down to the vanishing point. The d.
minishing tribes that remain are inoffen

forest habitation they share. They make
magnificent boatmen and woodmen,
threading their way through the intrica-

them and from the forest they draw their

Gen. Lee on Cuba.

There was some WOnueffnent at the
appointment of Gen. FitZhugh Lee to
the delicate mission of consul general
at Havana. He was known to have no
training in diplomacy, for it was sup
posed that his training in war was the
only thing that recommended him to
the President, who up to this time has
not been able to determine whether or
flying rumors Gen. Lee has discovered
war there but has not found any addi-
ton to his limited stock of diplomacy.
He evidently desires the country to
know what he proposes that the. Presi-
dent shall know for it is pretty well
authenticated that in a private letter
to a relative June y, he said: They
do not regard the laws Of modern war.
nor the usages customary among civil
lied nations at ALL" he said, and
from every quarter there is the same
testimony concerning the barbarities
of the Spanish soldiers. Some of the
evidence | have heard would be beyond
belief, did l not know it to be reliable.
Violations of women, the plunder of
inoffensive citizens, murder, every
form of rapine, is the unvarying story
of prisoners and natives of the island
who happen to be under suspicion, and
it takes very little indeed here to place
you under suspicion"
Judging from Gen. Lees vigorous
expressions, the idea of the Spanish
authorities would appear to be to in
stitute condition of terror and
frghten the people into submission by
brutality.
The insurgents are tolerably we'll
provided with money. and they pay
cash for all they buy. This comes
from two sources.
The first and main one is in the con-
tributions of Cubans in Europe and the
United States. No people have ever
behaved more generously to their
brothers in the field than have the
wealthiest classes of Cubans who We're
fortunate enough to get away from the
island with their money, before the
storm struck it.
The second means of revenue is
from the remnant of planters who still
remain on their estates and property
owners throughout the island, small
traders In the interior towns. and bust
ness people who have something to
down, estates, residences, all classes of
property is granted a safeguard by one
of the leading commanders. and this
instrument is always respected. The
property of Americans Throughout the
island is carefully watched and cared
for by the insurgent chiefs and their
followers.
The sum derived from this method
is really much larger than would be
believed. 1t goes far toward keeping
the troops in cartridges, etc.
This system enables the Cubans to
convey intelligence to all parts of the
island in an incredibly short time.
The Spanish leaders have never sue
ceeded in an important movement that
was not made known to their enemy
before it could be executed, and a
counter stroke was always ready, if
they did not thwart their enemies en-
tirely.
Gen. Lee doubts if peace could be
made now short of basis of absolute
independence and freedom from Span
iSh control.
Considering the brief time Gen. Lee
had been in Cuba when he wrote that
and considering be could tell no more
than is already known, he seems to
have taken especial pains to offend
the Spanish.
