Mr. Daniel then introduced DR. Wynne,
who is now wen known to the public.
Dr. Wynne said that appearing in pub
lie was harder ordeal than facing the
Spanish army.
Spain, lie said, does not understand war
as we do. Since the beginning OF the war
they had sent to Cuba $50 900 peninsniar
soldiers, who, with the volunteers, would
make about 400 900 in all.
They believed in building trochas around
everything They take the cities and
keep the pacificos in the towns while
the insurgents are in the country, ha wing
plenty to eat aud generally are in good
condition.
The garrisops go out every morning
and catch or kill sick or wounded
pacifico, and they dOu't have any more
work to do that day. The press dis
patches do the rest The insurgents are
not making an aggressive war-certainly
not in the province of Havana, where
there were only 400 men. They are
divided up into little bands for special
districts, out of which they keep the
Spanish The insurgents have TO hus-
band their resources, while the Spaniards
have men to burn. So to speak Yet the
Official organs of Havana show that al

and more mules than ever were on the

The hospitals in Cuba were the Spanish
fighting grounds. These hospitals were

of brush, which lad to be moved from

where they were safe, as the SpanIards
never leave the trail.
DR.. Wynne said that the Cubans were
humane in their warfare. He had seen
an order from Gomez, in which the gem

wounded, should be released, and he
latter should be cared for. DR.. Wynne
made the statement that one of the
Spanish regiments had killed two children
and two women on rancho. A Spanish
officer killed sick man at the same
place, and the soldiers butte hered two
others at the same place. The children
referred To were also cut up. Dr. Wynne
said that he had asked the New York

these things for themselves, but the y didn't

Dr. Wynne closed his story witt a
relation of the manner in W hich he
