is about our only relaxation. We were

while the general and his officers and cav
airy escort passed. and We then gave an ex-

have to encounter IL they should get gay
and have no doubt il made its impression
1.-The Cuban army is encamped ba ok of
the city. We do not allow them to come
in: only officers. Tha officers swagger
around with machetes and reyolVers or
dash around on ponies In ferocious way,
their horses being In size about sufficient
for a man to eat In four days rations.
I'VE are gradually taking possession of
all towns I'm this province. When next
you hear of M / will be in charge of a

Il fancy the United States has serious
problem on its hands respecting this coain-
