the stiffness of death now. Marin
has gone to hunt Gomez, but it begins
to look as il there is more danger

lily and hundreds leave on every
steamer for Vera Cruz, Tampa, New
York and other ports Havana is all
confusion and the soldiery seem as
much at a loss what to do as anyone
else. The ld-bloodedness of the new

Marin and attacked 1920 Spaniards
under Canella, defeating them, killing
200, with a loss of only so men. Gomez

United States and insulting American
residents since the action of the senate

women and children to leave the town

charity and seeking aims The insur-
gent forces in Santiago de Cuba are by
no means depleted, and numerous
