to find awaiting him q letter stating that
he had not been heard from for two
weeks and had consequently been struck
off the pay roll.
At about this time. however, our Jour-
nails awoke to the badness of their Gu
ban news and decided to try fresh plans,
During January most Of the papers hav-
ing correspondents in Cuba changed
them, sending to replace them, in many
cases, the best men on their staffs men,
who, for the most part did not speak
Spanish and who had little war expert
ence. but who had nevertheless been
tried in many different situations and
were trained for nearly any service that
could be exacted. When these had fairly
gotten to work in Cuba the true situa-
ton there was rapidly brought out in the
United States. Their reports were con-
firmed later, in almost every particular,
by the consuls and commissioners sent
to the island.
On my arrival the New York papers
were represented by George e. Bryson,
Richard Harding Davis, Stephen Bonsal,
g. b. Rea, Sylvester Scovel and T. G.
Alvord. Later arrivals were Karl Deck
er, e. M. McCreedy, r. G. Dawley, C. E.
Crosby and w. b. Stevens. Il. w. Steep
was already in Cuba, but not in Havana.
OF these men, seven tried to join
Gomez. Davis was turned back by a
premature publication of his intentions;
Scovel was arrested and had a narrow
escape from execution; Crosby was
killed in Gomez camp; Decker, Rea,
Steep and DaWley were the onlv ones
to return unhurt and without serious
trouble, though they all had narrow es-
capes. OF earlier correspondents in

They sat beside the kitchen hearth
One evening. Joe and Kate;

The clock proclaimed 1t late.
Yet Joe was in no haste to go;
Twas very plain to see
That ne had something on his mind
or which he would be free.
At length he found his voice to saw.
Dear Kate. I love you we'll
II you'll consent to be my wife.
My JOY I cannot tell.
There's not a girl in all the town

Dear Kate, accept them-do!"
Kate looked him squarely in the face;
II do not doubt your word"
She said, "but I must tell you, Joe,
OF some things I have heard.
They say that you go reeling home
About three times a week;
That cards and billiards are the friends
Whom you quite often seek.
Nov tell me. Joe, If this Is true:
Before 1 make reply,
ia like to know what kind of life
You live when I'm not by.
You know as well as amy one
1t would not pleasant be
For me to be the wife of one
Who's drunk two nights in three"
Joe WINGED, but said: 'I'll own, dear Kate
That part of 1t is true;
I'm very apt, when I'm In Rome
To do as Romans do.
You must not blame me for It, Kate:
Whatever Is, Is right
And marrying you will be the means
That will reform me quite"
I'm glad that you believe this, Joe,
Whatever Is, is right
You will not feel so badly now
AS otherwise you might.

To thinking just that way;
So consented yesterday

negroes, is the one that wishes the whole
truth known. This reverasl of the or
dinary circumstances develops many
curious conditions, greatly increases the
dangers OF the correspondents and
causes them to adopt many subterfuCes,
both in getting their news and in send
| ing it out of the country.
On Jan. 20, 1897, the date of my arrival
in Cuba, the greatest uncertainty pre-
vailed as to the condition of the rebellion.
No correspondent had returned from the
rebel camp for more than four months.
The Spanish press, flushed with triumph
over the recent death of Antonio Maceo
was filled with rumors, and even with
circumstantial accounts of the sickness,
desertion or death of Maximo Gomez,
the insurgent commander-in-ch chief. Gen.
Gomez himself, though this fact was not
known at the time, had recently crossed
the eastern trocha into Santa Clara
province, accompanied by President
Cisneros and his cabinet. Gen. Weyler
has just started on his campaign down
the island to fight Gomez if alive, and in
any event to try to pacify Santa Clara.
In the United States Secretary Olney had
defied the senate to recognize the bel
lligerency of the rebels. In a word, mat
ters were approaching crisis.
SHAMELESS CORRESPONDENT
The American press recognized this
and made strenuous efforts to find out
the truth of the various stories affoat
Up to this time the newspaper accounts
from Cuba had not been Of a sort to in
spire confidence. With few honorable
exceptions, the correspondents there
were of Spanish or Cuban descent,
chosen for their familiarity with the
language but, for the same reason, like
lily to be prejudiced. Most of them, too,
were not trained newspaper men. Sev-
eral were Adventures, who had been dis
missed from respectable newspapers,
but whose identity was not recognized at
that distance.
These men were utterly shameless and
sent the most outrageous falsehoods
broadcast. They were soon ordered out
Of the island, and moved, many of them,
to Key West and Jacksonville, where
some still keep up the business. They
were succeeded by far better class,
!clever and good descriptive writer's, but
men who had no experience in war cor
resrondence, and whose editors required
them to do impossible things. The ave-
rage American editor would not have ex-
pected one man to interview Lincoln,
Grant, Lee, Davis and Butler in a week,
and to go at will between Richmond and
Washington during our civil war, but he
saw nothing unreasonable in requesting
man in Cuba to interview Gomez, Wey-
Ter and Maceo and get his matter in with
in five days for special spread" on
Cuba. Such dispatch was actually
sent to correspondent here.
Some correspondents who tried to do
this and similarly impossible things
SON got into. trouble and were surprised
and indignant over 1t. All of them have
left the country before now, some suf-
fering with fevers bred by the exposure
In the swamps; some of them are dead,
killed In trying to cross the lines; some
have been expelled from Cuba by the
government and some have been dis
chargd by their papers. One young fell

Qulreus ana even IN districts Where WOOD
and water abound these engines are
gradually superseding steam and water
power. This is particularly true of the
Foos gasoline or distillate engine, for
which the s. W. Luintweiler company,
Los Angeles and Requena streets, Los
Angeles, are the general agents in Cali
fornia and Arizona The Foos engine has
been perfected more and more during the
past ten years SO that 1t combines all
the best features of other gas or gaso-
line engines without any OF their de-
fects, and is therefore pronounced to be,
s by impartial critics, superior to any
other engine of the kind in the market.
Among other features too numerous to
mention in detail is the simplicity of its
construction whereby any intelligent
man can learn to operate 1t successfully
In few hours. Another feature is it's
marvellous cheapness, the cost of oper-
ating being only one cent per hors,
power per hour with distillate at cents

CHAPTER

CHAPTER
During the last two years there have
been many articles published about
Cuba. The Spanish, the rebels, the
pacificoes, the naturalzed Americans,
have all been discussed in the fullest de-
tail. But, as far as I am aware, the
genuine born Americans and the news
paper correspondents have been totally
neglected. The former are very few,
and the latter, in describing what they
found in Cuba, whether in their papers
or in the magazines, have followed the
newspaper rule of suppressing their in
dividualities as far as possible and let
ting the facts speak for themselves.
Yet by this method great deal of in
teresting information has been sup
pressed. Cuba, as field of war corre-
spondence, Is totally unlike any other
place in the world, the so-called power
full civilized" force being the one that is
most anxious to suppress the news,
while the enemy. who is falsely claimed
to consist for the most part of barbarous

was propitious. The galleries Of the
house, save a small space capable of

reserved for ticket holders. The stair
ways and elevators were besieged in vain
BY an eager multitude. The tickets had
been distributed by senators and repre-
