leaves bound around their foreheadS in

This acted as an effective disguise in
the bush. Others stripped to pair of
dirt colored trousers, tied branches
around their waists, reaching shoulder
high. and moving very cautiously, they
could even cross the open ground with
out being detected although some were
caught at the game. Another trick was
to make moving screen of two or three
big palm leaves, almost impossible to de-
tect. The Cuban auXiliaries were most
useful in pointing out these tricks.
There are so of these men now in
camp, mostly negroes, with Cuban
officers. They are hawk-eyed woods
men, breaking even with the Spaniards
in every device Of bush craft. The
American marines at first were inclined
to discount this, but this morning spoke
enthusiastically of their auxiliaries for
their daring. At night, in skirmish
time, the marines say the Cuban aux
iliaries go through the brush like rab-
bits. Their chief fault, however, is
their reckless handling of the new
magazine rifles.

saws:

eraic islands, the Canaries and Ceuta.
A reserve squadron, consisting of two
ironclads, one torpedo boat, one cruiser
and two torpedo boat destroyers, sailed
at dawn yesterday, but returned in the
evening. These mysterious movements
are doubtless intended to mislead, and
any alleged sailing Of the fleet should be
received with the greatest caution.
From hints gathered in official circles it
is believed the squadron will sail singly
or in pairs under sealed orders to meet
at given point. probably on the high

the headquarters of the Cuban civil
