fires and they spice the weary hours with
wit and wisdom. The average soldier
bears no malice, not even toward the foe
he has been sent to fight. Cervera and
Hobson are the best of friends and if it
is possible for us to like Cervera, it is
possible that the people who placed him
in high command have some redeeming
virtues. In our civil war the privates of
both armies exchanged civilties on the
picket lines. Stonewall jackson rebuked
them and once when a picket brought
him a New York paper he refused it
and said: Take nothing from them, sir,
and give them nothing but our lead. They
are our enemies" But the common sol
der has not considered the casus beli,
the aggravation from national stand
point nor can he, like Cromwell or Stone
wall Jackson, worship God by killing his
country's foes.
A soldiers life is good training school
and he soon loses some of his concet and
selfishness. When a boy who has been
hundred and petted at home becomes a
schoolboy and has to rub against other
boys, he soon learns to give and take and
tote fair with his schoolmates. Just so
these young soldier boys, when far away
uIlu SOOH ullu tlelll-
selves enduring Il common hardship and
III peril a common danger and it softens
their nature and takes away their vanity.
They learn from one another, and like
these commercial travellers, absorb know
ledge by contact. The best informed peo-
pie | meet with are the veterans of the
civil war; However dull and uneducated
were the boys when they entered service
in 1861, they were bright and genial
when they came out. I'll venture that
there was more good sense and more for
bearance, more real reflective patriotism
and less seltishness in the recent grand
gathering of veterans in Atlanta than in
any body of men ever assembled. i'm the
United States. These veterans all look
alike to me. Hard service has hammer
ed them down like steel used to be ham
mered out of iron. Their faces, their
hearts, their walk, their solidity. their
conslderate conservatism, all mark them
as men who have been tried and refined
in the crucible of wharf.-the dross expelled
and the pure gold left.
But war is bad thing-the worst
thing in the world. A philosophic friend
of mine says no and he argues that peri

lenoe or famine to purify hem, to purge

term from Great Britain and forthwith

term from Great Britain and forthwith
bestowed it on our own flag.
This proceeding was, of course, dis
honest and indecent, to say nothing of
its bad taste. and the protest of the
venerable eX-journalist will be indorsed
by everybody except the apes who have
no higher destiny than to initiate Eng
lish manners and methods. This side
of fawnng, the American people are as
ready to admire things English as they
could well be. They subscribe heartily
to old Commodore Tatnall's declaration
that blood is thicker than water; they
recognize all the claims of kindred and
descent; things potentially English are Il
part of the heritage; they hail with 4
deep satisfaction every evidence of a
better understanding and more cordial
relations between the two countries; but
it is impossible for any sensible person
to fail to perceive that the essence of
things American is entirely different
from the essence of things that are Eng
lsh.
Therefore, the application to our flag
of a term which has been applied to the
British flag for two hundred years is not
only affected: it is both insolent and
slavish. AS Colonel Stone suggests. the
names bestowed on the flag by our faith
ers-the Stars and Stripes and the Star
Spangled Banner-are certainly sufficient
to individualize it.

of their neighbors in San Domingo ap-
pears to have made Il profound impress
sion on them. Since 1925 Cuba has been
in a condition of combustion. Since 1850,
when the abolition agitation in the
United States gave them warning, curl
ously enough they have acted with in
finitely more discretion, intelligence, and
energy than the great Shareholders of
the South. They deliberately prepared
for the cataclysm, which they had sa-
gacity to see was approaching, but which
we did not. They brought Spanish col
onists, mainly from the Canary Islands,
apportioned them forty or eighty-acre
farms, built houses, sold them stock. and
fed them. The colonists cultivated the
land under the direction Of the pro-
prietor, and hauled his cane to the sugar
house, where he got his due share of SUI
gar. Under this system the production
of sugar increased so per cent. between
1878, when slavery was abolished, and
1888, and will increase still more when
peace is restored. Now, after this long
| introduction, to the point as to the adj
vantages offered to energy, intelligence,
industry. l put aside the question of an
neXation. A large per cent. of Cubans
in the field will oppose it; that is human
nature. After such struggle, they want
to enjoy the fruits of victory. Gomez
wants to be President, Garcia to succeed
him, etc"
/ Gen. johnson, however, contends that
| the forces of nature, the laws of So
| ciety, march with irresistible power, and
!, adds:
Il can see movement of the imperial
Democracy manifest toward the Antilles.
Cuba is a part of the United States as
surely rs Florida was-as the mouth of
the Mississippi was. The United States
| is bound to establish solid, orderly gov
| eminent there, and must occupy the
| country until such government is estab-
lished. The interregnum of military
government will fill the island with
American Adventures, just as Texas and
| California were filled up. The 1000
miles of railroad will be expanded to TO-
600 miles. for each great plantation will
| have its own system of railroads. Tele-
phones will net the country. In two
years the population of Cuba will
| double. It's area is about equal to that
of Pennsylvania. The yellow fever will

THE LITTLE REVENUES.

The little revenues on deck,
Awhile it's come to stay,
For Uncle Sans funny chap,
And found to have his way; :
The trouble started, us you know,
When they blew up the Maine.
And when you're licking revenues,
You get a crack at Spain.
What pretty little stamps today
We're. licking near and far
They give to Uncle Sam the stuff
TO carry on the war;
IT'S said that little grains of sand
Make up the mighty plain;
Therefore, each revenue you lick,
Is one straight shot at Spain.
The revenues build batteships
And pay the boys in blue,
They man our monsters of the deep
With many a yankee crew;
They send the big shells through the air
To battles harsh refrain,
So when you lick the colored stamps,
You're also licking Spain.
Don't grumble when you lick your stamps
The weather's hot-be calm,
For not a person should object
To helping Uncle Sam:
Remember this, tits easy quite.
| make the point again,
That while you're licking revenues
You're also licking Spain.

hundred and thirty new eases of yellow
fever developed. DR.. w. Il. Parker, an
expert who lives in New Orleans, in
formed me that twO-thirds of these cases
had been brought in from the front. DR.
A. Monae Lesser, q famous expert, and
his wife, who was q Red Cross nurse,
were both stricken with the fever on
the day we left. DIR. Lesser had told
me only the day before that he had a
certain powder which was a preventive
and had given me some of it. Wheth-
er he had taken his own medicine | do
not know.
About o'clock in the afternoon on
July 1st, / rode into Siboney from the
front in terrific rain storm. | found
the village i'm flames. the torch having
been applied by the hospital authorities
Every shack in the town. including the
postoffice and the one in which had been
living was burning. The rain falling on
the wood from which the flames were
shooting made a steam that blistered
everyone near Frightened horses and
mules were making narrowing noises in
| their fright At one end of Siboney
| the white tents of the hospital stood like
| sentinels guarding the fire. The hospital
| by this time was practically empty. The
wounded had been transferred to hospi-
, tai ships, while the fever cases had been
removed to the fever hospital in the
! hills
| There is Il type of malarial fever TO
which foreigners are subjected in Cuba
that is said by the natives TO be even
worse, if POSSIBLE, than yellow fever. This
disease, once it gets hold on mans
system. never leaves him and its victims
are held in its grasp for life. Many Of
the American soldiers. so | was IN
formed by intelligent Cubans, have been
seized with this type of fever and Il
large percentage of them are expected to
die of it.
OF the ordinary type Of malarial fever
there is an abundance. Almost every
man with the army has more or less of
this malarial trouble. Men who are as
strong and healthy now as when they
left home are few and far between. In
fact barring the negro soldiers, who
seem to be happy and healthy, our troops
| are all worse off for their experience.
Every man of them has lost considerable
| flesh and the longer they stay the more
they will lose.
