The situation I'm Cuba

Now that the Venezuelan question mas
assumed less acute phase. good many
of the papers of this country are again
discussing the Cuban SITUATION specu-
lating as to what will be the maj OUT
come OF the revolution, and making sug-
eestiops as TO what this government
should do in the matter.
News there Is in abundance from
Cuba, but when we attempt to get down
10 basic facts, and define the real situa-
ton I'm the island as bearing upon the
ultimate success or failure of the revo-
lutionary cause, we are very mucn al
sea. The kilograms inspired by the iol-
lowers of Gomez are exuberant ana san
ruinc. not to say picturesque, while the
dispatches that have been doctored by
The government side are confident ana
TEEN with assurances that In due ume
the .rebellion will be suppressed. How
eyer. despite the confusion thus engender-
ed. II would seem very clear that so far
the revolutionists have. from military
standpoint. entirely out-manoeuvred the
Spanish forces and put their leaders at
a disadvantage at every turn Ihey nave
practically promenaded from one end OF
the island to the other, enlivening their
lcisrrely advance by burning sugar-cane
and occasionally sacking town; have
sustained their revolt for some eight
months, and to-day have more troops In
the field than ever before since the IN
surrection or revolution began. They nave
repeatedly broken through the Spanish
lines. now have several of the provinces
completely in their power, and TO cap the
climax they selected for their most auda-
cious exploits the very season Campos
declared he was waiting for in order to
deal them a crushing blow.
Nevertheless. as against this condition
of affairs. we have the experience of the
long revolution I'm which Cespedes was
the leader. In 1868 the Cuban patriot
party. taking advantage Of the revolution
I'm Spain rose in revolt and succeeded In
keeping the island in a state of insurrec-
ton for nearly twelve years During these
years the insurgents scored some remark
able successes. and on occasions 1t SEEM
ed that liberty was certainly within their
grasp. Yet the uprising was finally put
down by the very Spanish general who
has been delegated TO suppress the pres
ent revolution, the island being left with
its trade thoroughly demoralzed and
debt OF ss5.cco,"o. Another important
factor TO be considered In specializing
upon the final result of the revolt now In
progress IL that since the long revolution
the home government has made material
CONCESSIONS to Cuba. In consequence oil
these concessions many influential men
have been alenated from the patriot OF
republican cause, and strong political
parties have been formed, which, though
striving for more freedom and more self
government in the island, are pledged &c
support the authorities as against tho
revolutionsts. 1t will be readily under
stood that the influence of these politica
forces initiates very potently against the
better classes giving the insurgents arm
ed SUPPORT.

Rriiroad Earnings.

The New York. Financial Chronicle, In
summarizing the returns OF the gross
earnings for the last calendar year OF
-four nfths of the railroad mileage of the
country. gets an increase OF As.so'st7
over the previous year. In 1891 tie same
mileage showed a decrease, ms compared
with 1896. Of SIP. 800. and III 1893. as com
pared with 1892. decrease of $2j,lss,s6o
While II will be seen from these figures
that the railroads are still far behind
IN the matter of recovering the losses
sustained since the panic. yet all things
considered. the showing for 1895 Is a most
encouraging one. Moreover. the revival
now going on In business and Industrial
circles. stimulates the belief that 1885

Your humble servant was in no good shape
to meet the enemy about that time, a his
gun and eyes were both full Of mud and
water, but he did feel like whipping about
500 OF 700 Ysnks that were having lots Of
fun at his misfortune.
During our four or FIVE months az mounted
infantry with the Cd Iowa Cav. they kept
Us on the 90 all the time. With such leaders
as Coils. Hatch and Corse we made il hob
for the enemy in northern Mississippi, capt

besides anticipating Gen. Sherman's famous
order by living off the country.
On our last raid I captured large chest
nut sorrel horse that was thoroughbred.
He had belonged to a Major of the Sd Miss.
Cav. At Shiloh the horse was wounded
on the right hip, the Major killed, and the
animal sent home. gave him to Col. Corse,
who rode him at the battle ofAIlatoona. The
horse was killed under him. Many COM
rades Of the old Fourth Division and the 6th
