THE SPIRIT OF THE CUBANs.
Had Rather See the Island Destroyed
Than Continue Under Spanish Rule.

Had Rather See the Island DESTROYED
Than Continue Under Spanish Rule.
A letter received by prominent whole
sale merchant of Savannah from friend,
Cuban cigar manufacturer of Tampa,
gives some interesting statements con-
corning the tobacco crop and the sacri-
fees which the Cubans are making in their
effort to obtain the freedom of their is
land.
The letter is in answer to one asking in
formation of the prospects for the next
crop of tobacco in Cuba. The writer says
there is no hope whatever for the next
crop. The entire crop, in a number of dis
tricts. which he names. has been de-
stroyed by the insurgents, who are now
marching into the Pinar del Rio district
the only district left in which the crop
has not been destroyed.
The writer expresses his sentiments i'm
the following language; 1T is hard, no
doubt, dear friend, TO have our rich island
destroyed, but better in ashes than to
have ii ruled by the Spanish government
l am very glad that the last place attack
ed and burned is my birth place, Beiucal
But no fear, Cuba must be free in spite
of interests OF any kind, and in a short
time she will take her place in the ranks
of the free republics. AS far as destruc-
ton is concerned, she is too rich, and her
soil will render enough the next wear af-
ter her independence to cover all possible
destruction. The Spanish government is
now at the doors of failure and Cuba.
partly destroyed. holds on to her banner
with the vow of liberty under its folds
We Cubans have to give up all personal
interests in the interest of our war When
l see my country people crying at learn
ing of the death of one of their loved
ones feel like giving up the factory and
going to the battle field to help my broth
ers with the machete and fight like a ii
ger in order to do something to gain my
good name as a Cuban, but have salts
fled myself 10 do all can financially to-
wards it. / have mailed you map Look
at it closely and you will see the situation
clearly"
The gentleman who received this letter
was in Tampa recently talking with the
writer. A cigarmaker came up while the
two were in conversation and called the
manufacturer aside. When the man had
gone the manufacturer said:
He tells me that If anything should
happen to him to give all his money to The
cause That means that he will leave
tonight and will probably never be seen
again"
The same gentleman says that every ci
garmaker in Florida is giving at least
10 per cent of his earnings to the revolu-
tiOnary fund.

Donnelly and Girard will be seen to-

actors have been seen here in other plays,
but 1.-THE Rainmakers" is said to be their
best.
The two comedians in the guise of sports
steal the explosives and paraphernalia

do business on their own account, al
though they are profoundly ignorant of
the uses of any Of the dangerous eXplo-
sives they have secured. Their first pa
iron is an actor, who desires a shower
at his country home The price is agreed
upon and the bogus rainmakers begin
operations by setting off the entire explo-
sives, dynamite bombs, rockets mortars,
and all. The result is scarcely what they
anticipated, for a deluge of rain follows,
and with it comes a thunderstorm that
makes the earth tremble. Then comes a
cyclone of terrific force. Houses are
and in a few seconds a scene of appalling
devastation and wreck ensues.
The company includes Ross and Fenton.

KISSES THAT MAY COST HIM DEAR

ed ON a Bad Charge.


ed ON a Bad Charge.
Nicholas Eleopoulo, a Greek. employed
in the candy store Of L, Eleopoulo, at No.
1Oi Broughton street was arrested yester-
day on a serious charge.
About 2:SO o'clock G. Finley, a steward
employed on dredge No. on the river
work, went to the police barracks and
reported to Chief McDermott that Greek
working in a candy store under the Mar
shall house had attempted to assault his
little daughter. Mr.. Finley said that
while in the city he had his meals sent
to him from a Chinese restaurant on
Broughton street His dinner did not ar
rive at the usual time yesterday and he
sent his little daughter Annie to the
restaurant to find out the cause of the
delay. The girl came back to the house
a short while later, he said, crying and
very much excited. When he inquired
the cause of her excitement she told him
that as she was passing the candy store
the man called her in and asked her if she
did not want some candy. She was glad
carried her into the back part of the
store, she said, and after giving her a
bag of candy, began to hug and kiss her
and to take undue liberties with her per-
son. She became frightened and breaking
away from him ran back to her father
His daughter was almost in a fainting
condition when she arrived back at the
him, pretty little girl about twelve years
of age. The girl corroborated her father S
story.
Chief McDermott at once sent Police
man Norris with Mr.. Finley to arrest the
Greek. Detective Scully coming in shortly
after. he was sent to assist Norris. This
was fortunate Norris went down Aber-
corn to Broughton, while Scully went
down Drayton. When he arrived at the
corner of Broughton street lane he saw a
man running in the lane from the rear of
the Marshall Concluding that this WA
the man wanted the detective gave pursuit
and caught him after a chase of several
blocks. TIE fellow had seen the apprOa Oh
of the policeman with Mr.. Finley and his
daughter from the front, and took to flight
from the rear. At the barracks, the man
claimed to be unable to speak any Eng
lish. lie was locked up on the simple
charge of assault, not assault with intent
to rape, and was later released on bond
one of his countrymen going bond for him.
If the case is carried into court, and the
little girl tells a straight story there, the
candy man is likely to pay well for his
kisses.
