EXPERIENCE OF A NEW CASTLE
MAN AND HIS WIFE IN CUBA.


MAN AND HIS WIFE IN CUBA.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. p. Holcomb, who are
natives of this city, who have lately
been travelling in Cuba, give a graphic
account to relatives here of their un-
civil treatment while in Havana, and
also of the lack of sympathy shown the
dead sailors Of the Maine. The account
has caused great surprise here and con-
siderable feeling.
Mr.. and Mrs. Holcomb dined with
Captain Sigsbee on board the Maine
two days before the vessel was blown
up. They also attended the funeral of
the dead sailors. In speaking Of the af-
fair Mr.. Holcomb said:
Il looked particularly at the Maine
while her hulk and the bay were light
ed up by the flames only a few mo-
ments after the explosion. Something
struck me to look about her very care
fully. But 1 saw no signs of craft of
any sort anywhere near her. Such in
tense excitement prevailed, and every
body was in such a state of shock,
however, that it would have been easy
for boat to have slipped away.
Captain Sigsbee behaved with the
though the signs of his grief were
strongly marked upon his face. On
Thursday last, while we were driving
out oward the captain-generaIs Sum-
mer palace, my wife and were jeered
at, and some stones came through the
air toward us. We were not hit, how
ever. Everywhere we were met with
sneers, as the Spaniards would muttez
'Americanos.'
while there were the usual express
sions of outward sympathy manifested
/ heard many a man say that the same
thing would be done to another Yankee
ship If one we're sent to take the place
Of the Maine. l attended the funeral oi
the victims, and l was shocked at the
absence of the American flag.
There was only one ensign shown
and that was scarcely more than foo
long. There were flags worked in tht
design Of the floral wreaths, but they
were almost hidden by streamers.
'But talk as they would the Span
iards themselves plainly showed thai
they were Of the opinion that the de.
struction of the Maine was brough.
about by some Of agency outside of the
ship"
