CUBAN WOMEN.
Most Dangerous Foes With Whom
Spain Has to- Deal.


From the Woman's Hons Companion.
Cuban men in arms frequently present
themselves for pardon. No Cuban woman has
ever been known to barter fealty for mercy.
There are traitors in Cuba, but they are never
women.
Havana Is full of devoted women reared
in Incidence and luxury who are treless in
their successful efforts to get word from one
scattered rebel band to another, and to send
them food, medicines and clothing. These
women are far better conspfrators than their
fathers and brothers, for Cuban men must
talk and, therefore rarely hatch a plot be-
fore it Is revealed. The women in that coun-
try, at least, seem to know the value Of 81
lence They say little of war, even among
themselves, but to Americans they are singu-
larly confding. This instantaneous and per-
feet trust is at times startling, and makes
one breathe fervent prayer that 1t will never
be betrayed. 1t leads to many strange ex-
periences that cannot be treated as news and
sent to a daily journal. for the required pub
lication of names would tend to swell the al
ready overcrowded and vile quarters for
women in the island jails and prisons. Beauti-
full and delicate senoritas will impulsively
dress up in boys clothes to illustrate to Amer
leans how they steal out at night to the near
by haunts of lover or brother in the Long
Grass" as the insurgents camps are called;
how they secrete food in false pockets; how
letters whose envelopes have been dipped in
ink are hidden in their black hair; how med
icines are carried in canes, and cloth for
clothes or wounds concealed in the lining OF
their coats. One girl, disguised as a vender.
has frequently carried to the woods dyna-
mite in egg shells deftly put together. She
has had many thrilling experiences, but her
narrowest escape was when Spanish SOL
der by the roadside insisted on taking from
the basket an egg. to let its contents drop in
o hot and ready pan. He was with difficulty
persuaded to forego meal The dynamite
was made by another woman. who carefully
obtained the ingredients at various times and
at widely scattered drug stores.

pACKAGE OF POETRY IND pUNGENT pARAGRApHS
THE SONG OF THE SKIRT.

With accents heated and high.
With cheeks that were angrily red,
A woman Stood in unwomanly bags"
Scornfu-ly tossing her head.
AT Platforms front she stood
The claims of her sex to assert;
And there, with a voice of indignant pitch,
She sang this Song of the Skirt"
Work! work. work!
Oh, women though men may scofi
Work. work! work.
Till you've thrown this incubus off!
For. the skirt is the badge of shame
That man to our sex aHots,
So work till you've changed that humbling
badge
For pair of-you- whats.
LAS long as that skirt you wear
Your onward path twill block;
You must still mans dinners cook,
You must still his cradles rock;
You will still remain his toy
You will never bestride the barb
AS emancipated woman should
In bifurcated garbI
Twin ornens Of victory,
These garments should lead you on
I've grasped and l wear the prize,
And so may you all, anon.
Already has trembling man
Good reason to fear our raid,
For he knows that his citadel we shall storm
Through the breaches we have made!''

anchored vessels and put their crews
to great inconvenience if not in a po-
sition of positive danger. There is
scarcely any limit to the theorists
suggestions for using the submarine
diver as a means of offense in naval
campaigns. but most of the plans are
visionary and it is probable that the
most practical use to which the diver
can be put is to clean and repair the
ships of his own nation when it Is
necessary that the cleaning and re-
pairing be done eXtraneously and ia
cilitieS are not at hand to dry-dock the
vessel. The limitations of the diving
apparatus forbid any very dangerous
offensive work being done by the man
who descends in it. He cannot wan
der too far from his base of operations
on account of his dependence on the
air supply, and the boat from which
he is lowered could not approach very
near to a vessel or harbor in these DAYS
Of searchlights without being discov-
cred. 1t is probable, however, that dar-
ing souls will try the experiment be-
fore the present war is over, and naval
experts may have to find some way to
guard against a new enemy of the in
visible variety-the submarine diver on
blowing up purposes bent.
