ported that the Cuban leader, Antonio
Maceo, was in-sorea need OF ammuni-

which can be captured or purchased from

mite gun is the most priced feature of this
expedition, and the men who are to
handle it and were sent down for the pur.
posed have had good practice Of the way
Of using II TO advantage.
