Of the raccoon, is the only other animal Of
Importance that is found. Birds in great
number and variety here make their
homes, and many migratory fowls use
the island for breeding place.
The political situation Of Cuba is so
complex as to be totally indescribable.
The air is full Of prophecies and contra

great and everpressing question, "What
next?" there is nothing to do but wait.
If you make pilgrimage into the
heart of the island, the first thing that
strikes you forcibly is the extreme prev
alence of the soldiery. The railroad
trains are all guarded, much as they
were in the western states during the
strike. Every town seems to have its
resident garrison, and in exposed places
little forts made Of heavy timber enable
half dozen men to guard commu-
nifty. The lightest Of artillery would
knock most of these into match wood,
but they are perfect protection against
the insurgents rifles. Then there are
travelling forts-cars like an ordinary
freight car, but lined with boiler iron
and supplied with Sits, through which
the soldiers can shoot while their enc
mics bullets can never reach them.
There are soldiers everywhere. You
meet the officers in every first class
