HAVANA CIGARS COMING.
First InstnIlment since the War Re-
eQfvad in, Many

FIRST InsfRllnient since the War Rc-
ceived in New York.
New York. Sept 2-The first cargo of
tobacco and cigars to arrive in New
York from Havana since the war reach
ed port yesterday in the steamer Ma
tanzas, of the Ward line
1t consists of 1,257 bales OF tobacco and
SOl cases of cigars. A trifle more than
one-hah of the cargo-795 bales and 167
cases-is consigned to the steamship
company and is probably. therefore, only
in transit.
The officers of the steamer said yeSter-
day that the cigar industry was the only
one in Havana that they did not find
paralyzed. 1t was explained to them
that the cigar factories had an outlet for
their goods at a port on the south coast
of the island which was not blockaded
and that there was at no time during
the war any interruption of manufacture
ing
The Matanzas was the first American
steamer to go to Havana since the war,
and still greater interest attached to her
visit by reason of the fact that she was
originally the Spanish steamer Guido.
one of the early prizes of the war. The
Ward line bought her from the Govern
ment for their Cuban trade. She carried
a full cargo of provisions to Havana on
her initial trip.
Capt. Rogers and Engineer carroll went

They were surprised at the number and
apparently formidable character of the
new Notifications that Blanco had built.
AS to sentiment they SAID they found
a predominating preference for annexa-
tion to the United States. 1t was de-
clared that the well-to-do inhabitants,
the business classes and foreigners gem
orally do not want a republic
One day while in port the captain en-
tertained a party of friends, who had
been in the city throughout the war. and
they told him that toward the end it
was almost impossible TO buy proper
food. Meat was selling at 81 a pound,

The age-herald., 1898-07-17

When the history of this Spanish war is written there will be braver deeds to chronicle than were written of Lander ana the Hellespont; yes, braver than Leoni- das at Thermopylae.
 In the few brief months of the war there has been chance for heroism; and right bravely have our men responded. Their only regret has been that the chances were not more frequent.
 At the beginning of the war, before our forces were combined with those of Garcia, it became necessary to communicate with the Cubans. They were located back of Santiago de Cuba, but in such way that we could not get word to them. Of course 1t would have been futile to strike into Spanish lines in Cuba without notifying the Cubans. It was necessary to do so in order to get their cooperation.
 ROMANS BRAVE DEED.
 But how could it be done? Only by spec ial messenger. And the one to volunteer was Lieutenant Andrew Rowan the hand some soldier whose face will be struck upon a medal of reward.
 The chosen one of over two hundred brave volunteers, he started on the dan- gerous journey-more than that, rfsked hls hfe-of conveying message to Genefal Gomez from the United States. Our troops were just being gathered at Tampa at that time and It was absolutely imperative that some communication should be had with the Cuban army. It was not like getting ready to fight in ones own country where every spot of earth is familiar to the sol- diers; on the contrary they were to be transported not only to strange land, but a land infested with the germs of every dis knn fo SpOrphtnO- Sultry climate. A long, full paper was prepared and with the precious document safe In his keeping Lieutenant Rowan set sail for Cuba by way of Jamaica
 On landing at Jamaica he struck back into the island He succeeded in getting to the camp of General Gomez Witnou. much difficulty, but on his return conditions were not so favorable The suspicious or the Spaniards were aroused and they laid wait for and pursued him. Like clever American the dashing lieutenant outwit- ted them and rode for his life, escaping in safety. Even then all was not fair sail- ing; for when he reached the harbor of Key West he was quarantined for nearly 3 week on account of having passed through so many camps where fever was prevalent. But facing all of these difficult ties he carried out his work gallantly and correctly, and when the history of the Spanish-American war shall haye been
  adventures shall be more conspicuously chroniced than those of the fearless Lieu tenant Andrew Rowan.
 l ANOTHER BIT OF DARING.
 But in sending fifty thousand men to Cuba. several messages were necessary and General Shafter found that 1t was only with the knowledge and cooperation of Eonez that he could succeed. Nothing would be easier than the landing of fifty ihonsand men -,--t in+n Spanish ambush.
The age-herald., 1898-07-17

Accordingly when the plans were matured it again became necessary to send man to Cuba. This time Lieutenant Whitney was selected-one out of fifteen hundred volunteers all wild to undertake the mis- sion.
 One dark night the Marblehead put Lieu tenant Whitney aboard torpedo boat; and with small escort conveyed him to the coast of Cuba. It was in Spanish possess sion, but no Spanards were in sight.
 THE JOURNEY.
 Lieutenant Whitney started inland along route that had been described to him and was lucky enough to reach Placetas, an insurgent town. Here he was receiv- ed as a saviour. The town had been in siege five years and had been burned twice by the Spaniards, until there was little to eat. But food sprang up as though out of the ground. The old women brought deli cacies out from their hiding places and the young women baked cake and meat for him. If he had had the appetite of a giant he could not have held all the feast. At dusk all the babies were held up to him to be kissed and all the old men wrung his hand; and amid their prayers he set out.
 most perilous ride brought him to the camp of Gomez and all that day and next night he remained with the old chief tain giving him information about the army.
 Next day he rode back with return mes- | sages from Gomez. He also carried a | complete plan of the Spanish forts. But 1 this time his trip was more exciting. He | came around a hill at daybreak only to 1 face 200 Spanish guerillas. They put spurs l to their horses and faced him. l But Lieutenant Whitney was not to be l slaug htered that way. Seeing that resist l ance was hopeless, he turned with his es- cort and all rode for their lives. And then Lieutenant Whitney's military training | came in good. He rode around the hill turning back, he hid in the brush, and l the guerillas lost him.
 l HERO ROBSON.
 l The brave deed of Hobson will live for ever. His bottling up of the Spanish fleet l in Santiago harbor was as clever and effi- | cacious as 1t was daring. Just what nap | pened will never be known until Hobson gets out to tell the tale. But this IS the | story as he told it to reporter of The | Age-Herald before starting: --
 "i shall go right into the harbor until | about four hundred yards past the Estreila | battery, which is behind Moro Castle.

 Four little deeds these but they form- ed points of vantage upon which the army worked Without them the safe landing of the troops, the capture of Cervera's fleet and the annihilation of Santiago would never have been written.

 A FIRE OF LEAD.
 Our soldiers fired first. They knew that if they could cut their way through the point of the wish-bone they would be able to defend themselves and hold their own until the other forces came up But the

At day break, after a hard twenty-four hours tramp through brush, they suddenly caught a glimpse of the enemy They were on a beautiful, high hill at the time, with pie turesque palm trees throwing their leafy shade oyer them.

so large was the number of people that
