CUBAN INSURGENTS.
The Opinion of One of the Marines
of Guantanamo.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Elmer, Aug. 2.-John w. MaskeI. a
former Camden boy. with the marines at
Santiago, has written a letter home in
which he deals with the Cubans in very
plain terms. He also says that his senti-
ments, expressed in the letter, are the
sentiments Of nearly adj the troops at the
scene of action. A section of the letter
follows:
You have likely. read adj about the
Cubans, as seen through the eyes of our
writers for the great magazines, or the
reporters for our great newspapers or
perhaps you have read the speeches de
livered in Congress by delegates sent here
TO inquire Into the condition of things.
but for change you might be pleased to
bear the opinion of common ordinary
soldiers and ! will Try not TO write my
opinion, but to voice the sentiments Of
the marines here-GO0 as brave men as
were ever in one battalion.
we read in one of our best magazines
that the Cubans are brave and fearless
i'm battle. This may be- but they take
pains to never get in battle. When they
do, 1t is by accident, and then they fire
their guns into the air and yen like a lot
of Indians and promptly make themselves
scarce in that locality We read that
they are very intelligent They are
They know when rations are TO be given
out and when meal time comes around
better than any class Of people / ever
saw. We read how handy they are with
their machetes and how fearful the Span
lards are Of them. This is corerct. If
party Of hundred Cubans caught
Spaniard out alone there would probably
be mincemeat left of him. But let them
meet an even number Of Spaniards, and
watch the stampede. We have now fur
nished them with rifles and ammunition
az good as a Spauiard ever owned, 90 the
old cry that they are not armed viii rot
60 One of our men was on an outpost
with Cuban the other night and they
heard "A noise. The cuban cut for the
camp and left our sentry standing there.
and our man said he was glad to get rid
of him. This happened several times The
men say they do not mind them eating
our food or their being allowed to wash
their clothing in fresh water, while
we have to use salt water, or
seeing them lie in their ham
mocks all day, while we have 10 dig
bitches, build intrenchments, cut and
burn brush, chop wood and sleep on the
ground at night, but we do mind having
to be placed on a lonely outpost at night
with a Cuban who, when he hears a
sand crab crawling through the bushes,
Is more likely to shoot us than anybody
else"
Mr.. Masken also said that the marines
frequently debated what the Cubans
would do with their country after Il was
freed.

A MILITARY STATE FAIR
APPARENT THE CAMP MOUNT SOL
DIERS WILL BE THERE THEN.
Pay Rolls Completed and Sent to Chi
cagO-The POstOmce Now
in Tent.

Another irksome day was passed by the
men of the One-hundred- sixty first
Regiment yesterday. A drizzling rain in
the morning served to keep every one but
the sentries indoors. AS soon as the
weather had cleared somewhat the post
office, which has been located in the ex-
ecutive building, was moved to the head
quarters tent in the new camp. While the
postal detail was settling things in its de-
partment the different companies were en-
gagged in company drills in the barns where
they formerly lived.
The pay rolls were completed yesterday
and sent to Chicago, from which point will
come the money to pay the men for the
past month spent in camp.
The reason for choosing the present camp
ground is, according to the officers, the re-
suit of a careful study of all the contingent
cies bearing on the matter When the
statement was made that the men wished
to be moved to the grove west of the race
track it excited smile from the knowing
ones. The principal reason for choosing the
present location was because the chances
are the regiment will be kept at the fair
grounds all summer. In this event their
presence would detract from the general ap-
pearance of the fair grounds if quartered
in the grove which during fair week has
it's particular uses. Moreover discipline
in the grove, which must of necessity lack
tho privacy of the present location, would
be much harder to preserve AS it is, the
men are now where they will not interfere
with the fair and where the lines can be
maintained without infringing on the rights
of the public.
Colonel Durbn, Adjutant Tichenor and
Major Smith, the regimental surgeon, were
a2sens t, from camp mn last last night 81 All
wearing broad grins of relief at getting
back to their old element again. None OF
particular.

IN MEMORY OF BISMARCK.
German Societies Decide on a Fitting
Service.

Preliminary steps toward an elaborate
memorial service in honor of the late Prince
Bismarck were taken last night by many
of the leading Germans of this city, at
Maennerchor Hall. Since the death of the
great statesman not only desire, but
need, has been felt among the leading men
of that nationality here for some sort of
demonstration. Several of the more active
members Of the Maennerchor Association
took the matter in hand and, under the
auspices of that club, invited the co-opera-
ton of the other German organizations in
the city. The suggestion was enthusiastic
cally received and at $50 o'clock last night
a large gathering of the representative Ger
man business men were assembled in the
large rooms of the club on East Washing
ton street.
In the absence of the president, Vice
President Fred FRANKIE, of the Maennerchor,
called the meeting to order and in a brief
speech Of welcome explained to them the
purpose of the meeting. Fred Wenzel was
selected secretary and the business of the
evening began. With the exception of the
German House every German organization
Of the city was represented by three or mort
delegates. Among those represented were
the following: German Military AsSocia-
ton, German Turnverein, Independent
Turnverein, South-Side TurnVerein, Indian
apolis Maennerchor, Harugaru Lodge, In
dianapois Liederkranz Brewers Beneficial
Association, German Protestant Orphan AS
ISOLATION and the Indianapolis German Park
Association. Several speeches were then
made, embodying suggestions for the DEM
onstration and paying glowing tributes to
Bismarck, Every tribute to the statesman
was received with applause and with the
enthusiasm manifested last night carried
into the preparations for the service, a great
success may be anticipated After the
speechmakng, which took but little time,
committee. consisting of one of the dele
gates from each of the organizations, was
appointed to consider ways and means for
holding the memorial service and will make
report at a meeting, which is to be held
next Monday night.
1t is desired that the service be as simple
and impressive possible. A speech by
some leading German of the country will
probably constitute the greater part of the
service. This will be supplemented in all
probability by singing of the German and
American national airs. TabIeaux are also
suggested, but these are mere suggestions,
as the committee has complete charge of
the affair, which will be held next week.
