THE NORTHERN COAST OF CUBA.


 Gibara, Nuevitas, Puerto Principe and
 Sagua La e-Charaoteristic
 Scenes and Incidents.
 Especial Correspondence of the Journal
 and Courier.)
 Washington, July 19-Continuing our journey around the edges of Cuba. about twelve hours sailing, north westerly from Baracoa brought us to Gihora, another port of local conse- quence, though comparativeIyunkn to the world at large. No other island of it's size has so many ports and shell tered landings as Cuba-nore than twos hundred all told. Half of them are ac- cessible to vessels of eight hundred and of any size Though Gibara is only fif- ty miles from Point Maisi at the east ern end, following the undulating shore line, it is full degree farther north, owing to "the lay of thesland."
 By the way, many people find it hard to understand how Cuba, stretching long and narrow between the Mexican Gulf and the Caribbean Sea, can pre- sent such differences of climate-why, for example, Santiago, on the south shore, can be so much hotter than Ha- vana on the north when the island is nowhere more than forty miles wide. They fail to take into account that Cuba is almost crescent shaped, and that a curved line, seven hundred and fifty miles long, drawn through it's center, extends through three and half degrees of latitude; the difference between Havana and Santiago being about the same as between Boston and Memphis.
 Gibara is often begun with J but in either case is pronounced as if spelled He bah-rah. It is the port of the im- portant interior town of Holguin, con- nected herewith by the old camino real, or royal road" built by the early Spaniards; and all around Holguin lie rich sugar, coffee and tobacco lands. The steamers that make this circuit of the island In time of peace stop here a |2whole day, taking on cargo, So that the tourist has ample time to inspect all it's points of interest. Most historians, you know, mention this as the first landing place of Columbus in Cuba: and it is not unlikely, owing to its relative posi- tion to the island of the mid Bahamas, whence he came. The approach to Gi- bara is most picturesque, with detached mountains looming dark above green forests and low hills. The open bay is partially sheltered by sand-bMffs from the white-crested waves that break outside, and off the harbor rise the four tall peaks which Columbus mentioned in his journal as Conspicuous land- | marks" Though very capacious, the bay is not deep enough to allow vessels to approach it's wharves: so they have | to anchor some distance outside and be | loaded by lighters. The entrance is guarded by tiny fort whose two or l three anticipated guns keep up brave show of defiance, but which looks as> if good strong breeze, to say nothing of cannon-ball, would scatter it over the adjacent country. The town presents l that desolate, half-ruined aspect com- l mon to so many outlying settlements of | Cuba, which since time out of mind have been harrassed equally by noun l tain robbers and insurgent bands. A 1 high wall has been built around the in side of Gibara for defence against the

CoRBETT-McCoY FIGHT,

Buffalo, N, r., July 27.-Speaking of the proposed fight between Corbett and Mccoy Mayor Diehl to-day said:
 "I have never objected to boxing be- cause, as a physician, I think it a healthy sport. But when 1t comes to 8 brital prize fight, why, then I'm against it. It will bring an undesirable ele- ment to this city and it will have a bad effect morally. If any attempt is made to hold a prize fight I will certainly take steps to stop it."

many unknown. Our men and ships have
been tested in actual war, and we know
what they can do The Germans have
acquired a high degree of organization,
and apparently their equipment is of the
best They have, besides the national
traits of bulldog persstency, bravery and
machine-like obedience to authority. They
are far slower than we and effect things by
mass that we accomplish easier by indi-
vidual effort An American thinks twice
while German thinks once. And, as
this war has shown, it is the individual in
the crew as well as in the staff and line
that counts for most We could give
Germany far heavier tonnage and one
hundred more guns and then call it an
even match Philadelphia Inquirer.

Two Navies Compared.

Just as the press of the country COM
pared the relative strength of the Spanish
and American navies prior to hostilities,
so is the same operation going on, only
the word German is substituted for that
OF Spanish. The strenuous opposition to
everything American displayed by Ger.
many has given rise to this situation.
War with that power is not considered
probable, but under the circumstances it
is possible. To be sure, Berlin has given
assurances of friendliness, but she has not
withdrawn her fotilla from the Philip
pines, nor has she made any friendly dis
position Of the tariff questions which are
a constant source OF irritation.
So this nation has settled back COM
fortably to measure strengthen paper
with his Majesty the Kaiser.

York Herald from The Naval Pocket
book" (English February /, 1899 gives
