On Cuban Soil.

MANzANILLo, CUBA, October %, 1898.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
| will now write you few lines to
let you know we have left the United
States and are in Manzanillo, Province
of Santiago de Cuba, Cuba.
We broke camp at jacksonville, Fla,
October TO-, came by rail to Fernan-
dina, Fla, where we embarked De-
tober II on the L. S. transport, ''Rou-
mama" arriving here October Is,
at $50 p. IN. Signaled for pilot but
could not get one till the following
day at 10 a. IN. Anchored in harbor
that day and came ashore during the
afternoon of the 18th. Were assigned
quarters in barracks vacated by the
Spanish, and are yet in the same.
Col. Ray. with one battalion of the
Sd Regiment L. S. V. Infantry "Im
munes,' was here when we came.
Coming here we passed the entrance
to Santiago bay and Moro Castle.
The entrance is very small to look at,
but one can readily see how Cervera
was corked up. 1t looks almost i'm
possible for boat to enter if the guns
in Moro Castle were properly manned.
We also saw four of the destroyed
Spanish tleet-One in front of Moro
Castle and the others farther up the
coast. All one can see of each is a
big, red hull. We passed them at too
great distance to examine them close
ly.
ManzanillO Is a curious town to us.
The buildings are of brick, plaster ed
outside and in the roofs of tile and
no glass in the windows. There are
few over one story high. On the out
skirts of town are many huts made of
cocoanut bark and matched
roofs. The streets are narrow. In the
center of town is a park, or public
square, where the people gather during
the evening.
also visited block house made of
two-inch oak plank on the outside
then comes foot of broken stones and
two inches more of oak. They have
slanting portfolios from which one can
easily shoot out but it is almost impos-
sbe to shoot in. On the outside all
around is big ditch, and outside of
that comes the barbed wire. woven
every way SO that one cannot make
his way through it without cutting.
There is IA winding path through it
leading to the block house. At the
approach OF the enemy that is Melted

The co Intry is hilly aud the soil
looks rich. The government feeds
many Cubans here daily aud II great
many are to be found around the com
pany kitchens begglng.
To day the Cuban army disbandrd
here. Gen. Rabi, his staff and officers
of his command, accompanied by
town club, Col. Ray and staff Col
Petit and staff, and one battalion of
our regiment paraded the principal
streets. The Cubans lad two triumph

jackson" you are neither honest

To the MINING JOURNAL
Please allow me space to correct
several mis- statements made by Georg
ii. Wlttlg before Council at last meet
ing, as found in your report of the
proceedings.
Mr.. Wlttlg's proposition to purchase
part OF my property was answered.
that it was not for sale" The con-
versation about the oven had no con-
nectlon Herewith, as before the al
legged conversation the oven had been
complained OF as unsafe, when Mr..
Wittig said it was all right and no
danger. But when he was making ar
engagements to occupy his recent pur-
chase he then found the oven unsafe,
and wanted to tear it down, when |
stopped him. Why he wanted to tear
it down is not hard to understand.
His statement that | refused to
allow Mr.. Woods to occupy the room
Is false, as Mr.. Woods well knows that
he came to me and asked what the
rent would be after the LIST of April.
| told him and he said it was too much
for him. This occurred befole Mr..
Woods sub rented from Wittig. |
rented the room to John Chambers
from the LIST of next April and have no
objections to him getting possession
at once if he and Mr.. Wittig agree.
Why Mr.. Wlttig prefers to pay me
the rent and leave the room empty.
refusing to allow Mr.. Chambers to
take it off his hands, do not under
stand, and, in fact, 1t is none of my
business. as that matter lies between
them.
All | look for is my rent from
suitable tenant, to which | have a
right. WILLIAM THOMAS.

D. J. Lewis, attorney, is represented
as telling the jury that Robinson had
said things detrimental to labor
Here rises question
What is Labor ?"
Is it that effort upon the part of some
which, ignoring market conditions,
must have, for instance, 80 cents a
ton?
Or, is it that upon the part of
others, respecting market conditions,
who take 10 cents and are buying and
paying for their own homes with the
proceeds
AS matter of fact, the lawyer be-
fore jury, where the liberty of the
individual is at stake, should be held
by the court to a stricter construction
and treatment of terms than where
property interests are concerned.
If Lewis had been so restrained he
could not have stated that Robinson
had ever written word "detrimental''
to the interests of real labor.

The greatest achievement of the
Altgeld democracy is seen in the re-
suit which makes the United States
Senate a republican body for at least
eight years from next March.
Which means that for eight years
the only change that can be made in
both direct and indirect taxation of
the people, already high, is to raise it..
AS intimated, this is the straight, i'm
mediate result of the great apostasy at
Chicago in 1896, when the party
abandoned the faith of hundred
years by adopting a platform and
nominating ticket that THE
Old Guard,' which "dies but never
surrenders," could not support.

The Executive Board of the United Mine
Workers of America has passed resolutions
endorsing the action of Governor Tanner,
of Illinois, when coal companies attempted
to replace white labor with negro convlcts.
Only a few were ''convicts' Sex con-
victs' rather.
But whether ''convicts" or not, the
election returns from Virden and
vicinity show that the voters whose
work was sought by the negroes do not
agree with "the Executive Board" etc.

joy as much right to be shot down in
