The Cuban question, which has engaged
the public attention for some time, has an
additional interest for Atlanta people since
the arrival In this city of a number of Gu
ban families of the higher class who nave
decided to make Atlanta their home ior tne
present at least
If you see two Cubans holding an anil
mated conversation. you may be sure In
nine cases out of ten that they are dis
cussing the terrible war now being waged
in their native land. In their conversations
with AmcrC ms they eagerly embrace the
opportunity to explain the unhappy cOndl-
tion of their country. the causes that led TO
the present war and the justice of the re-
volt against Spanish oppression. ThouSh
many of them have become American "lti-
zens and their material interests are lden-
tilted entirely with the land OF their ad"p-
tion, their patriotism has not in the least
diminished and their greatest desire is The
freedom Of the land of their nativity. As in
all similar wars. the women are as patriot
ic as the men, and are ever ready To make
any sacrifice for the cause of liberty. The
intensity of their feeling was strikingiy Il

In reply to questions as to the education
and rearinsl Of young girls in Cuba she said;
In our country We have no public school
system. The young girls attend private
schools or converts. Here they are taught
the languages and the arts but rarely. II
at all. mathematics or any of the sciences.
The girls devote most of their time 70 the
literature Of our own country and 20
French English, music. painting and en-
bro.dery.
