such important nations.
Cuba is about $50 miles in length
and its width varies. 1t Is 12S miles
at the extreme eastern end. while from
Havana south to the coast is not more
than twenty eight miles. Compared
with the state of Long Island It is about
twenty-eight times larger. though bare
ly one-third of the island has been cul-
tivated. 1t has a good coast line. with
no less than twenty-seven harbors.
During the early history Cuba was
under the Spanish nag. About 1888
Havana was destroyed by the French.
and again few years later. and In the
seventeenth century was captured by
the Dutch. but in one of the treaties
was given back to Spain. For q time
peace existed. but always the cruel and
rigorous seryitude which the Spanish
enforced.
In 1862 the island was taken by the
English, and the next year, by foolish
piece of craftsmanship. exchanged with
Spain for a barren title TO Florida.
The United States during Folks ad-
ministration offered something like a
million dollars for it, which the Span

About the time our war OF the rebel

On the last day Of March, 1895. Maceo

by a mounted Spanish guard. After
fighting for several hours, having los

he traversed the woods and swamps,
until finally, in the hilly country north

had made himself known, he was re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the little
band, who rallied around him and in
the three trifling encounters directly
following he more than held his own.
It is interesting, right here, to note
that Antonio Maceo had made an In

way he could devise. At one time. 1t

at West Point as hostler, where he
absorbed much valuable knowledge.

THE WEEK.

With a volume of business re-
markable for the time of the year,
80 per cent. larger than a year
ago and 1914 per cent. larger
than in 1892 in payments through
clearing houses, it is not discour-
aging that one or two industries
are tagging. The demand for
more goods is more heavy for the
season, manufacturing works are
better employed, and orders
booked and prospects for the fut-
ure are more encouraging, than
at this season in any other year
of which equally definite records
exist. Exports of products con-
tinue surprisingly heavy in spite
of some rise in prices. Treasury
receipts from customs were larg-
er in twenty days of January than
in the entire month Of October or
of November, and apprehension
regarding the monetary future
is no longer felt outside of specu-
lative circles. Failures are con-
siderably smaller than were ever
known at this season, both manu-
featuring and trading less than
half last years. Railroad earn
ings in January thus far reported
have been I7.6 per cent. larger
than last year, and 1913 per cent.
larger than ii 1897. Nor are

gress supposed to have any
