tine first line of the confederates and
the first line of Union troops struck
each other with such force that full
one-haf of the confederate regiment
came over our first line and turned
back to mingle in fierce hand hand
struggle. Just then our second line
caught them and they were compelled
to surrender. When they realized the
situation and when they heard the Or
der to drop their guns they were in the
very act of striking with dubbed mus

Il can see now the change in the ex-
pressions of those faces as the men
comprehended that they were helpless
and turned toward the men who had
the drop on them, and with an air
that was the very opposite of desper-

their cartridge boxes, and in five min

The condition of things in the cigar
factories of Havana could not be more
hopeless. Here is a statement made
by the head Of the leading cigar fac
tory, one year ago: In the depart
ment devoted to the preparation of
raw tobacco we employ 500 men and
200 women. Average daily production,
$4,000 pounds. In the cigar making
department we employ 200 men and
100 women. Average daily output, l.,
100000 cigars" Now. compare these
figures with others 1 have just OBJ
tanned by a visit to that same factory.
In the raw tobacco department, 30
men, 10 women; average daily output,
$500 pounds of tobacco. In the cigar
making rooms. men, 5 women: av-
erage daily output. less than $4,000 ci-
gars. From 1000. 900 cigars a day to
$4,000 a day in a single factory How
