WARFARE IN CUBA.
Ex-Lieut. Head of the Cuban Army
Describes Some of Its Features.

Ex-Lieut. Head of the Cuban Army
Describes Some of Its Features.
The transport Chester brought an ex-
lieutenant of the Cuban army to Savan-
nah yesterday. He was DR.. J. L. Head,
a dentist, who served with Gen. Eugene
Sanchez for seven months. The war is
over now. and. for the time being. Dr.
Head has had enough of Cuba. He is
well pleased with the island and may re-
turn, but he saw nothing in the prevailing
conditions to make him desire to stay any
longer just a present.
The doctor served with the brigade
which had the duty assigned 10 it of keep
ing the Spaniards within their trocha. He
says a peculiar state of affairs prevailed
The Spaniards were there about $4,000
strong, to keep the brigade of Cubans from
getting inside the trocha, and the Cubans
were there to keep the Spaniards from
getting outside. They did not want the
Spanish to get hold of cattle that were
roaming the ranges without the trocha
DR.. Head says the Cubans used to laugh
at the trocha. They found no trouble in
crossing it whenever they got ready. The
infallible plan, he said, was to make a
feint at one place and cross at another.
There would be a little firing, but that
was all. This was the way he found all
of his campaigning in Cuba.
Did you have any battles?" the doctor
was asked. "Oh, yes" he answered,
such as they were. Whichever side did
the ambushing always licked. When we
ambushed the Spaards they ran, and
when the Spaniards ambushed us we ran.
That was the way it went There was no
open field fighting. In the three battles we
had with the Spaniards we had but one
man wounded. They had three killed.
Ambuscades are the only practice that is
INDUCED IN by either side''
D.. Head described the troeha as sixty
miles long, extending across the island at
its narrOwest place. 1t is three miles
wide, everything within 1t having been
cleared away by the Spaniards. Along
oiffer side runs a double fence of barbed
wire. Inside the lanes thus formed, on
either side of the trocha, transverse wires
run, making it all the more sdifficult to
cross. But the Cubans did not find much
trouble. A big opening could be cleared
in few minutes with machetes. AT every
100 yards or so there is a block house.
The open space affords a good range for
the riftemen on either side when troops
VI the olnef are crossing the trochd.
At night was the time of the Cubans'
operations. They would strike the trocha
in one place in a small body. Electric
bell attachments caused alarms at the
blockhouses. Firing would be begun and
under the diversion caused thereby another
force, the one meaning business, would
cross the trocha at another place The
doctor seemed to look upon it all as a
good deal OF play soldering.
Starvation stares the Cubans IN the face.
the doctor says. They have nothing to
eat and he does not know how they are
going to manage TO live. The people
along the coast get supplies from this
government, he says, and fare much bet
ter, but it looks as if the people of the
interior will die for want of something to
eat

the boys from Morris in the field.

After supper for the rooters the

the fan. In the first half Hancock
secured a good lead through repeated
errors by Clipper short-stop and sec
