occasion he even fixed the stove so that
it would fall down in order that she
might be made to suffer for longer

Ranking among the foremost seaports
and commercial marts of the world Ha-
vana, the capital and great maritime
city of Cuba, lies on the west side of a
beautiful bay of the gulf of Mexico.
Havana is upon the northwest coast of
the island, almost due south and 30
miles distant from Key West. The
number of its inhabitants, owing to the
peculiar mode of census taking in its
colonies by the Spanish government, is
not definitely known. but probably it
comprises 800, people, white and
black. The city stands on a sort Of PEN
insula formed ON one side by the bay
and on the other by the waters of the
gulf of Mexico.
Within the past two years Spain has
squandered vast sums on what it con-
siders the strengthening Of Havana's
Notifications, but in spite of all that
the town is in no position to repel any
serious attack by land or sea. Hayana's g
defenses facing the sea may be divided
into two parts, those at the entrance of
and in the harbor and those which have
been recently put up along the coast

Once the Capital Of Cuba and Still One Of
It's Great Cities.
At the head of fine bayou, formed
by the widening Of the Santiago river
at its mouth ON the southeast coast OF
Cuba, lies the city of Santiago de Cuba,
the second town in political rank and
the third in commercial Importance in
the island. 1t was in early times the
capital of Cuba, and it is still the cap
itaI of the eastern department and of
the province bearing its own name. The
city is situated on the side Of a hill 100
feet above the bay. The streets are bad
and many Of them are very steep, but
all are lighted at night by gas and are
lined with we'll built stone houses. The
city is supplied with bad water through
an aqueduct, and as it is shut in from
the northern breezes by mountains the
sufsocating heat and the miasmatic
effluvia from adjacent' marshes render
it the most unhealthful abode in the
Antilles. The harbor, although one of
the best in America, is difficult of ac-
cess owing to the Darrowness of the
entrance It is defended by four forts.

On the slope toward the harbor SO small

good order that it is as perfect today as
it was century ago. The city, howey-

buildings are now outside.

ants and its commerce is large. 1t is the

in any Spanish country. It has not the
wealth or the grandeur of Havana, but
it is in much better order. The streets
are broader than in the old parts Of Ha-

to Jump at Duty's Call.
The readiness, good discipline and
seamanship Of the New York naval mi.
litia were we'll illustrated in the prompt
ness with which a detachment Of so
men went to Philadelphia, manned the
monitor Nahant and brought her to
New York for the defense Of the harbor.
These qualities were again illustrated
when the call was made for a ships
company for the auxiliary cruiser Yam
kee. The entire contingent, from first
lieutenant to landsman, embracing 1876
men, was at once supplied from the
New York reserve.
The Louisiana naval reserve has fur.
nished crew of nine officers and 95 men
for the monitor Passaic, which is to de.
fend the harbor of Port Royal, s. G.
The reserve has been called on to sup
ply 1,100 men for manning the 80 gun
boats, patrol boats and torpedo boats
employed in the gulf service, and it an
nounces that it will be able to meet the
requisition.
The first attempt made in the United
States to establish a naval reserve was
in 1850, when President Fillmore draft
ed a bill providing for reserve of Co.,
600 men, Nothing came of the measure.
AS early as 1885 every country in
Europe had naval reserve. England
then had its royal naval reserve Of 30,
600 officers and men ard its royal naval
artillery volunteers Of over 2, 900 officers
and men.

Prior to the outbreak OF the last rev.
