1.-THE Cubans have orders to release all
prisoners captured. after securing their
arms and supplies. On the other hand,
however, Spanish commanders are respon-
sible for the shooting of hundreds of de-
fenseless persons and reporting the affair
as a Spanish victory. While the rebels can
adapt themselves to any situation, the
Spania1ds cannot. The chief diet of the
Spanish troops consists of bacon and beans,
a particularly rich and undesirable diet for
Inacclimated troops. The bulk of the Span
iSh army are ignorant men-Srossly ignor-
ant. They fight well when we'll led The
rough life eXhausts them. Under the same
conditions the negroes simply get into bet
ter condition.
Neither officers nor men in the Cuban
armies are paid. The Spanish troops are
paid so poorly and SO mistreated that many
have Joined the Cubans after having been
captured. There are a few Americans
among the Cubans, and they also are not
paid. Many of the ablest surgeons in the
island are with the Cubans. The Cubans
do not now hold any town. village or port
but when advised of expeditions the rebels
concentrate near the coast and cover the

this to a science
