POETRY AND BUTTONS.

While General Weyler continues his bar
harous warfare and General Maceo remains
dead longer than ever before. the prov
erbial poet comes upon the scene with his
soul thrilling meter. Colonel D. s. Harri-
man. who has taken an active part in
enrolling volunteers to serve in the Cuban
army, received yesterday in his mail.
among a half dozen letters from volun-
teers, several verses of inspiring poetry
II sent to General Weyler. his cruel heart
would no doubt be completely melted and
it is highly probable that he would imme-
diately desist from his butchery and recog-
nize the long deserved independence of the
Cubans. Among the verses is the follow
ing appealing strain:
Shall your struggle be so hopeless
When we our friendly aid can give?
Great hearts are in sympathy throbbing;
Then not in vain comes this wall:
Cuba libre, Cuba libre! Cuba libre!'
