| American union, the culture of our
country will have a decisive influence.
1t is necessary to give great impulse
| to popular instruction which, unfortu-
| nately, has been scarce as every statis-
| tic shows. 1t is necessary to diffuse
| the education of the boys and adults
| in order to endow the country with the
necessary eXigencies Of state of the
| Union"
The necessity Of building schools and
missions, etc, in order to spread educa-
| ton is then strongly urged. Thus it
can be plainly seen that with free
| schools, Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, Christian Endeavor and other
religious societies, the natives will
awaken, take on new life and in con-
sequence the whole island will under
go a vast change.
Sickness seems to be slightly on the
increase, and DR.. McAndrew, who is
well known to Scrantonians, Is kept
very busy. There are several cases
of dysentery. The men speak in high
terms of DR.. McAndrew. He is patient,
has kind word FOR everybody and
he seems obliviOus of the fact that he
ranks as an officer of the United States
army.
Somebody circulated a rumor to the
effect that wc are TO be paid tomor-
row, and in consequence search parties
have been detailed. Should the culprit
be captured, banishment to the lake
OF Pluto will be his fate.
BANANAS PLENTIFUL.
Bananas and oranges are plentiful.
No fewer than five massive punches
of red, green and yellow bananas are
hanging above my head now, under
going rlpening process. The oranges
are scarcely ripe, though they taste
sweet.
The surrounding country is certainly
beautiful. Bananas and oranges grow
wild, the former trees being twenty and
twenty-five feet in height. with leaves
nine feet in length.
The view from our window for beau
ty and natural splendor is simply in
describable. In fact 20 try to picture
IL in words would more than likely
draw forth phrases similar to the fol-
lowing: "Phew! How's that for Yam
kee Imagination"
Speaking Of the beauty of the coun-
try recalls remark made by one of
our non-coms,, during our first march
from Port Ponce to the camp. The
road was in excellent condition, hard
as a macadamized road, and all along
the way was lined with trees from
which hung down red flowers, resplen-
dent in beauty, filing the air with
delightful aromatic smell. Banana,

HAD A BULL FIGHT.
The Madrid Populace are Very Patriot

Madrid, May 49, p. NIT seemed
this afternoon as though the entire popu
lation Of Madrid was thronging tn the
bull ring. At the patriotic bull fight, to
raise funds for the navy as at the recent
performance at the Royal theatre there
was grand patriotic turnout. But the
latter was.a expression of patriotism on
the part of the aristocraoy and today it
was the people who expressed the popular
and patriotic feeling. The seats sold at
fabulous prices all the receipts bsing de.
voted to the navy fund. Every available
vehicle was requisitioned and thousands
on foot formed long procession, all
wearing the national oolors, the women
having the yellow und red of Spain in
their hair and on their breasts, the men
displaying the colors at their button holes
or in their cravets, while all the horses
were beddeoked with The Spanish colors.
The stores were closed and the cafes were
packed with people heatedly discussing
the probabilities of war. Nobody dared
to speak of peace
This evening the whole town is be-
decked with the national colors. The bal
comics are draped with red and yellow
and large flower tent has been erected

The bull ring today was packed to

white mantillas.
The opening procession was Of unpre-
cedented spIendor. There were ten
Alguazils, heralds and halberdiers, at

dressed and making q gorgeous spectacle.

were cut to pieces by the maohetes of the
Cubans, and they all left their arms and
ammunition in the hands of the insur-
gents. They did not lack courage, but
they were absolutely undrilled. They did
not know how to use their arms. The
modern rifle of small calibre, with smoke
less powder, was of less use to them in
the atfray than sticks would be. AS a
rule, they are all such now. They have
learned to fire, but they rarely hit the
mark. The experience of the insurgent
army is evidence enough for this state
ment.
1t is evident, therefore, what the result
of the campaign in Cuba will be. Even
without the valuable cooperation of Gen.

armed, will be able to clear the country
