Colonel PARKER, who accompanied
Senator Proctor Oh his recent trip tc
Cuba, says: The warfare has reduced
the island to a state of devastation. Ga
our trip to Sagua We saw only two
sugar plantations grinding cane. All
the others had been burned. This Is
the condition of the entire island" II
the Colonel" had visited the track
made by General Sherman's army on
its march through Georgia, or that
made by General1Sheridsn in the Valley
of Virginia, he would have witnessed
scenes of far greater devastation that
it was his lot to see in Cuba, and
though the war in the South was of
aonger duration than that in Cuba, ne
even now can't understand why any
body should have ever thought a for
eign nation should have interfered in
that war.
