Cuban Weather.

tins.

tims.
Transforms command genuine respect in
Cuba at this reason of the year. The
storms astonish Northern persons who are
accustomed to see rain fall in drops. Here
it is a weak and inadequate smile to say
that it falls in bucketfuls. To be caught
in one is to get, not shower, but a plunge
bath SO far as saturation goes it doesn't
differ from falling overheard.
When it starts out to rain it Just rains.
\ on may be admiring the beautiful blue Of
the sky at the moment, or cOngratulating
yourself on what a fine morning it is.
Suddenly you notice that little cloud
overhead is darker than the rest, or per
haps you don't notice il.
Then it rains, and whatever you did as
TO the cloud, you certainly notice the rain.
1t forces Itself unhesitatingly upon your
thoughtful attention. Fish could rise
from the sea into that rain and feel per
fectly at home. 1t is as if the skies were
opened with can opener. 1t is spOnta-
neous prOdiga', overwhelming Where
you were standing on dry land a few min
utes ago is more than likely a rushing
stream now, the depth of water being any
where from foot up.
Meanwhile, you can see the fool sun
shine calmly going about its business on
three sides OF you. The rain itself doesn't
cover very extensive area. There isn't
water enough in the world. 1t is fantas-
tic shaped area. too, like a section of a
streak Of lightning.

C. c. Holton returned Monday night
from Montauk Point, where he has been
to see Corporal Albert L. Denison,
who was with Company l., Second
Massachusetts volunteers, at Santiago. He
was Joined by S. NJ. Denson, father of
Corporal Denison, at Chicopee Falls, who
tried to persuade him not to 60 as the
troops were held in quarantine and it
would be useless to 60, Mr. Holton, who
was a veteran in the civil war, thought
differently and made up his mind to do
what he started out to do.
They arrived at Montauk shortly after
one o clock Sunday, and after nearly a
two-mie tramp, during which they receiy-
ed different directions from each one Of
whom they inquired, they arrived where
they could see the camp.
Getting near enough so their voices
could be heard they asked for camp Of
Second Massachusetts. Luck was with
them, as that regiment was the first one
they came to, and Company l., also, the
first one on the outside.
lnquring for Denison was told he was
inside the very tent beside which their in
/ fOrmant was standing. Corporal Denison
/ on hearing inquiries stepped outside, but
neither his father nor Mr. Holton would
| ever have recognized him, with a full
| beard and moustache and the worn ont
! look apparent on all who have been IN

for he was not able TO hardly walk, turned
his head in an opposite direction and they
walked across the line into the tent wher,
they remained over three hours.
