Barcelona is a great trading port,

ards sister, Mrs. Henry Kitterman Of

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 8, 1888.
DEAR SISTER, received your letter
Of June 9Th, last night, and was glad to
hear from home. am we'll as usual.
We are not living high enough to give
one the govt, and 1 am pulled up like
a shoe string. The hardest time We
had was on the transfer boats. We
we're 10 days on the boats, 800 Of Us,
about half cOlOred troops. We landed
June 23d, at Serbine, 20 miles from
Santiago. Wemade a march Of IL miles
the first night, and got into a scrap the
next morning at o'clock. 1t only
lasted two hours and twenty minutes,
but it made me feel spotted while it
did last. There we're II Of our men
killed and about 80 wounded. They
could not stand our fire long and re-
treated toward Santiago. The next
time We found them was on the morn
ing Of July 1st. They surely gave Us
all we wanted that day. 1t SCUM ded
like popcorn in a pepper. The troop I
am in was support for the light bat
terry, so we found out what shells were
made for. I lay in the grass while they
were Smelling Us (they were about two
miles away, and I thought every min
ute would be my last. I have heard Of
bashfuI boys who would like to fall
through the floor. I don't know that 1
am bashfuI, but surely would have
liked to have fallen through the earth,
or a few feet anyway. Ny face has not
got Strengthened yet, where I hattened
it trying to lay close to the ground.
Troop G lost killed and Z wounded.
That fight lasted till noon July Sd.
There wasn't shot fired on the 4th
not even q fire crackeT-they don't
celebrate down here. There were about
100 Of our men killed and wounded,
dAu near doOuI @sDlD OF bD6 iC1dnlSug
but they won't stand our work when We
get started good. They all run, but we
have them now where they won't run.
They are surrounded and can't get out
unless they swim out. We are in camp
about one and one fourth mile Of the
city. We have a trench all around the
city, so all we have to do is TO lay and
watch them. I don't know what the
delay is about, but 1 think they will
throw up the sponge before long, or
starve out. Their non cOmbatants and
women are all in our lines and two Of
our regiments are guarding them.
I viii close for this time with love
and best wishes to all

Goodtaud's SideW allzs.
There is an antiquated joke, which
in its pristine innocence enjoyed quite
an enviable nOtariety, and which even
now finds its way into local print, con-
corning a certain man of convivial ten
denotes, who, returning home late at
night, was hit on the back Of the head
By the side walk; said side walk. &C
COrding to his half humorous and mis-
titled fancies, clipping it up" in order
to accomplish that fiendishly delectibIe
performance
In GOOdland, however, a person s
being hit by the sidewalk is no Joke,
nor hyperbOIe, nor figure of speech,
but literal, cold, cruel fact. Here, in
our otherwise progressive and tidy
city, portion Of the sidewalks resem-
bic rubbish pile Of old lumber, which
our citizens have deceived themselves
into thinking was a sidewalk, actually
did, literally does at times slip up
and hit the unsuspecting pedestrian
in vasiOus portions Of his exposed an
stOmy, with all the malicious ingenu-
ity Of patent spanking machine.
Nor is this the worst phase Of the
felloniOus assault, with the intent to
do great bodily injury, of these mall
icious sidewalks. They are not con-
tent after landing a knockout blow"
but the PROSTATE victim is treated to
a series Of kicks and cuffs and then
hurled headIOng into a jungle Of gigan-
tic sunfioWers or unctious rosin weeds,
where he or she is left to ablaze" their
way out at their leisure, but without a
hand-axs or a Cuban machete this is no
light or pleasurable exercise, especially
when Luna mOekingIy hides behind
q cloud, or is of on an expedition to. the
Philippines.
IrrigatiOnists IN convention Assem-
bled have often advised the adamminQ
Of draws" as a means Of internal i'm
PrOvement, but on the subject there
is often division Of sentiment, but If
once introduced to Goodland's Internal
improvements, motion to adamn the
sidewalks" would carry unanimously.
