GOODBYE.

we are going to Cuba. boys,
To set the island free,
To drive the Spaniard from the ihaln
And establish Liberty.
We are taking our lives in our hands,
boys,
We may not return again,
But he who fights in Freedom cause
Nor lives nor dies in vain
Take a long look at the Court House
boys,
Silent. solemn and still,
And the sunny town that stretches
round
And each suburban hill
Take farewell look at the faces,
boys,
That bid us good bye" with pain.
For none dare say when he goes to
That he will come back again.
And Oh. it is hard for them, boys,
To wait and watch at home,
When all their thoughts and ali tnelr
hopes
Are with the lads who roam.
And many heart may break, boys,
When news comes over the wave
That Deaths keen blade loved one
In 2 far off soldier grave.
And Oh. how well want to come
nome, boys,
How we'll feel that we ought ana
must
All may that hope to come pacK
again
Preserve us from dangers thrust.
There's one thing we'll not leave be
hind. boys,
And that is our Country s flag,
But wen plant those glorious stars
and Stripes
Where hangs the Spanish rag.
And whether we march or bivouac,
boys,
Whether we guard or fight,
Living or dying. may Freedom nag
Be evef in our sight
And this be our motto and aim, boys,
As off TO the field we plod,
Always and ever to do our duty
And leave the rest to God.
Then, Hurrah for the Stars and
Stripes, boys,
Hurrah for Cuba. too
And hurrah for the hearts that are
true and brave,
The hearts that dare and do

Cuba's Case i'm n Nutshell.
From London Truth.

From London Truth.
All colonies have n right to become
independent Of the mother country if
they so please; but never had any colony
a better ground for adopting this course
than Cuba. The attempt of Spain 10
maintain her sway in that island has
been characterized by hideons atro-
cities. and the civil war has been en-
couraged by the persons sent from
Spain to end it. in order that they may
make money. Cuba IL almost ruined
it's people are starving The end OF the
war il as far off. so far as Spain Is con
cerned, rs it ever was. Under these
circumstances, the determination Of the
United States to secure TO Cuba her in
dependence is worthy of all praise.

The question Of coal supply is a
serious one at any time, and it can read
lily be seen that in the event of hostili-
ties between two nations which are
separated by three thousand miles OF
water like this country and Spain, the
question easily becomes first in import
ance. The navy that elects to place the
wide Atlantic between itself and its
coaling base will carry on its campaign
under an enormous disadvantage. Not
only must it maintain line of coaling
ships, but these ships must be conveyed
across the water, to which duty not
inconsiderable number Of its fighting
ships must be assigned Moreover. to
make certain Of the transfer of the coal
TO the fleets. some sort of coaling port
must be established, for coaling at sea
is both slow and hazardous and only
capable Of being carried out in fairly
smooth water.
AS the case now stands, Spain pos
sesses two coaling stations in the West
Indies, one at Havana and another at
Porto Rico, and as CuDa would pre-
sumably be the objective point OF both
combatants, it is reasonable to expect
that Spain would send her fleet to Cuban
waters and endeayor to strike a decisive
blow in general feet engagement.
Should she be successful in this, how
ever she would still be under the neces-
sity Of conveying her coal ships across
the Atlantic, a task which she could
moi hope to accomplish successfully in
the face of the numerous and powerful
auxiliary feet which we shall soon
have at our disposal.
On the other hand, it is quite possible
that Spain may choose to place the
burden Of keeping open three thou
sand mile line Of communication upon
our navy, temporarily surrendering
Cuba and Porto Rico, and choosing her
battle ground on the eastern side of the
Atlantic If she does this, there is no
denying that we should fight at great
disadvantage, and the success of our
feet would be more problematical.
One of our first objects, if we did not
rest satisfied with the acquisition of
Cuba, would be to secure base OF
operations wilhin reach Of Spain itself,
where coal might be stored and as much
reftting as did not involve visit to thu
IL -sr.d tgG
would furnish such a base, and it il
likely that collision between the fleets
would occur in the vicinity OF these
islands. III we encountered the full
force of the Spanish feet, it is not to
be supposed that our ships, even though
victorious, as we think they would be
would come 5cathless out of the fight
The Spaniards are strong in TORPEDO
boats, and we might even lose ship o
two in the general melee. 1t is likely
in any case, that the victor in moderr
fight will be ripe subject for the dry
dock ard navy yard IL 80. this woult
necessitate part of the victorious fleet
