"HELL HAS NO TERRORs
NOW"

London. June 2s.-A dispatch to
the Daily News from Port Anton;a,
Jamaica, says :
"The conditions in which the
Americans entered the battle at
Sevilla show that their fighting was
really magnificent. When attacked
they were bysterical and half out oi
their minds. All courage would
have been scorched out of less
thoroughbred men. Their tongues
were swelled from thirst aud their
throats shriveled."
"Hell," said survivor .has no
terrors for me now.''
The Americans appear to be suspi-
cious of the insurgents who could
give immense assistance in bush
whacking. "But how can we be
sure" says an American officer,
"tbat any one of them is not Span
lard ready to lead Us into trouble
We cans talk their niger Castiilian
and when they guide US we have to
go it blind We should trust them
