his whiskers. Then FROM the same
repository he took few hens eggs, a
couple of bright bandanas, and other
things. Now, gentlemen, said he, any

between for patriots In Havana and
those in the field. Diaz has not been
allowed 10 communicate with anyone
since his arrest. and II is whispered
that Weyler will order him tortured
