it has rained every night that l have

how pleasant it must be to tramp
around in the mud and rain, and be-

Thursday we had quite march, the

Feed me on grub again. just for night;

Petritied hardtack a sledge could not break;
Tomatoes and beans in "a watery bath;
Sow-belly as strong as a Goliath of Gath.
Weary of starving on what can't eat,
Chewing up rubber and calling it meat.
Backward, turn backward for weary am,

Let me eat butter whose hair has been trim

Let me have once more an old fashioned

MENTEGO BAY, Jamaica (via Kingston

withdrew the Spanish garrison from Baya-
mo, one of the important towns of the
province of Santiago de Cuba on April 25,
and refugees who have arrived here from
Mansanillo. the port of Bayamo, by the
schooner Governor Blake, say that General
Calixto Garcia, the insurgent commander,
occupied the town the next day.
Bayamo, or San Salvador is situated
about sixty miles northwest of the city of
Santiago de Cuba. 1t has a population of
about 1000 souls, in times of peace. There
is no knowing what its population Is at
present. The Spanish merchants and resi-
dents of Bayamo, 1t appears, were in great
fear of plunder and massacre but General
Garcia issued a proclamation declaring that
the property of Spaniards and their civil
rights would be respected. The general
also positively assured the leading Span
iards of the place that they were perfectly
safe in remaining at Bayamo, with the re-
suit that business went on as usual and
tranquility prevails there. The people be-
gan bringing in vegetables and meat from
the country and the prices of provisions
fell. No cases of outrage have been re-
ported.

The interest and enthusiasm over the VIC

of the American losses 1t was a source
OF congratulattDn,. based upon the meager
details received, that the American gunners
had proved their superiority, and 1t is con-
idently expected they will win every naval
battle of the war.
1t may have been because Of this self
congratulation that the ships of the squad
ron at gun practice this morning showed
phenomenal skill In hitting the small, bob
bing targets. The thirteen-inch guns of the
Massachusetts and the twelve-inch guns
on the Texas swung around at all sorts Of
remarkable angles and placed shot in and
all around their targets, while the smaller
guns did equally good work.
The eight eight-inch guns of the Brook
lyn proved veritable destroyers as the tur-
rets swung quickly to given points, and the
hVe-inch rapid-tire and six-pounders nut
shot after shot in the small target A note
worthy feature of the shooting was that
every man at the guns acted as sighting
gunner and this in no way deteriorated
from the splendid craftsmanship.

tanned mt Present.
MADRID, May 3.-The proclamation of
martial law issued by the governor general
expressly prohibits the publication of any
news concerning the war or the move
ments Of the ships of the Spanish navy.
The city Of Madrid Is quiet today, and
things have resumed their normal aspect.
The principal newspapers advise calm
ness, 80 as to avoid the unpatriotic spec
tacle Of disturbances when Spains united
energies are required to avenge her recent
los.ses.'
Much attention centers in today's de-
bates in the chamber and senate, which
Will be raused by the republicans and Car
lists, who propose to hold the government
res ponsible for the countrys present posi-
ton.
Although the position of certain members
OF the cabinet is regarded as unfavorable,
1t is matter OF difficulty to find men who
are willing to succeed them under the
present circumstances All classes are de-
manding that a strong, military attitude
be taken up by men capable of coping with
the present situation
Nobody will listen to a proposal OF peace
until Spain has had another chance Of
measuring her strength with that Of the
United States.
AS precautionary measure, in view of
the excitement which may follow the de-
bates today in the cortes, the troops Of the
garrison have been confined to the bar
racks, and the guards at all the public
buildings have been doubled.
