Indian war.
While Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt took the
most active part in its formation he
does not command the regiment. That
esponsibility was delegated to Col.
Wood, who is almost as well known in
the west as Roosevelt is in the east. he
entered the army as surgeon, but he
probably had much more to do with the
making of wounds than their healing.
1t is said of him that when he was
first assigned for duty to an Arizona
post he arrived at the post one night at
seven o'clock, and the next morning at
four was in the field and at work, This
was during the Apache campaign in
1885, and Surgeon Wood soon won for
himself the name of the fighting doctor.
He was conspicuous in the famous
Geronimo outbreak, having command
at various times of the infantry and
scouts engaged in the chase after that
willy savage.

lation of Cuba at the time the present
devastating war began The figures
for the six provinces are only approx
mate and are as follows: Matanzas,
300, 900; Havana, 100000; Puerto Prin-
cipe, $4,000; Santa Clara, $50 900; PinaI
del Rio, 10000; Santiago de Cuba, $780,
900; total, 1,762, 900. Of this popula-
ton 1925, 900 was white, 490, 900 negroes

cities, Havana and Matanzas, had, re-
spectively, 100000 and 10000 inhab-

devastation of war, pestilence and fam

American visitors into Darkest White

which, once seen. would never be for

still sights that knew not, and again
| wanted to know what might be shown
to visitors from over seas as fairly
representative OF the life and surround

II was not difficult to arrange to Join
party. A warning slip OF paper sent
with the notification that the explorers
would start from Charing Cross at
7:30 charged gentlemen not to wear
tall hats. but otherwise the preIlm-
mary instructions had nothing to note.
At the office we duly met. and to my
delight / found the party consisted OF
three charmingly typical Americans
two ladies and a gentleman-who had
done the grand tour, been received in
audience by the Pope. had visited
everything In Paris from Versailles To
the cafes chantants. had been to see
Windsor Castle and Stratford-on-
Avon, and who were positively thirst
ing for sensations and historical in
gate, travelling third class, as prep
aration. no doubt, for the squalor we
were to witness later. SO far the
American co-explorers had been in
cIined to think that the East End was
much less black than 1t had been paint-
ed, and that the Bowery OF New York
or the slums OF Chicago had far more
squalid wretchedness to show. spftal-
fields, however. rather led them to
change this view, and. indeed, Flower
and Dean streets, Fashion and Dorset
streets-names of such different sug-
gestion-reveal sights OF poverty dirt
and rags that 1t is hard to view I'M
moved.
Tiny boys and girls, their shoeiess
little feet in the gutter, gnawing n dry
crust; drink-sodden old women Keeling
along between others not much less in
toxicated than themselves: knots Of
shabby, broken-down men around the
public house doors were scenes wa NOT
ed, not once only, or even twice. and
sadly one thought how many there are
still unreached by all that Is being 40
nobly done. And yet, as It struck our
transatlantic visitors, some influence
must be at work, for in all the hours
we were thus wandering around there
was no rude word or remark PASSED
upon us, which some ten or twelve
years ago would assuredly not have
been the case; and though comment
might have been harmless. It would
have been rough and outspoken.
In the course Of this stage of our
perambulations we were on our way
to what was certainly one Of the great
sights OF the tour. This was the actual
room In which the only one of the
Whitechapel murders committed in
doors--that of the miserable Jane KEEL
Twas done. 1t is situated In one OF
the most wretched OF the courts abut-
ting on Dorset street, UP little pas
sage way 80 low that a tall person
must stoop to go through IL. At the
present time IL is occupied by a very
poor old woman. who works at flock
pulling for cheap mattresses.
The next phrase into which our In
vestigations resolved themselves was
