THE CLIMATE OF CUBA.
Herman CUM Writes Interestingly
of that Country.
Fertile Soil-Sugar Plantations - Mineral
Wealth OF Inestimable Value.

Fertile Soil-Sugar Plantations = Mineral
Wealth OF Inestimable Value.
Joseph Deller received another let
ter short time ago from his son-in-
law Herman CUM, which we print for
the information of our readers:
CAIBARGEN, Cuba, March 10, 1899.
Dear Father and Aunt Eva:
1t was a great pleasure to receive
your valued letter of the 9th, and to
note your improving health, and |
sincerely hope that with the approach
of spring weather you have improved.
My experience SO far with the eli
mate of Cuba has been that after an
American has been here about
month, he will feel the effects of it in
some manner. Either in the form of
malarial fever or stomach and bowel
complaint. However, it is no worse
than we experience at home usually,
when the winter jumps into summer
all at once, and with proper care the
trouble will soon be over. The Amer
leans are not used to the mode of
cooking, and are therefore subject to
disorders. | have gone through the
mill. For eighteen days ! did not eat
bite of solid food. A glass of milk
was all / was allowed every two
hours. At first | thought | would
starve ON that kind of a diet; but |
improved, and when | began to eat
again, | was ready to digest olive oil
made out of cotton seed, nor did my
stomach raise any objection. The
fact is one need not eat as much here
as much as we do in the states, as we
do not exert ourselves as much.
Once acclimated, | am convinced
that Americans can stand this climate
better even than the natives, because
we have more vitality, and keep
cleaner about the person: which is
very important. OF course | am speak
ing only from experience during the
winter months. The natives make
much ado about the rainy season, and
are evidently afraid of it: but intel
ligent physicians tell me that the
difficulty is more with the people than
with the climate. In the interior, very
little difficulty is experienced, they
say: but in the cities, the people will
not take pains to remove the filth, and
therefore are exposed to the danger
of infection. The intelligent Cuban,
who is not an Office seeker and |
must say they are few for the reason
aforesaid, halls with Joy the advent of
American rule. They see, and say it,
that the Cubans are not fit for self
government, and the Spanish element
is certainly not to be trusted.
| do not like to write home concern
ing the political actions of the United
States government, because it savors
too much as if | was upholding the
administration; but the people of the
United States might as well make up
their mind now as later on, that the
United States has guaranteed an
orderly government on this Island, to
the world, and that several genera
