NEW YORK, September 1S.-Will-
lam Willis Howard, general manager OF
the Cuban industrial relief fund, and
who has recently returned from Cuba,
says:
Scuba is in a pitiful state. Instead
OF a rainy season, Cuba has had a
drought. Not since 1874 has there been
such long continued dry weather dur
ing the summer. The result has been
disastrous. The United States weather
bureau reports that aid small crops
have been ruined. Sugar cane has been
so damaged that the crop next year Will
be less than the crop grown this year.
The most distressing feature OF the
drought is the destruction of the corn
crop. Even under favorable circum-
stances the corn crop would have been
pitifully small, for it was planted in
driblets here and there, on the outskirts
OF the towns by poor people who had
no means of doing any better. The
weather bureau reports show that the
best of the corn crop in few favored
localities will yield not more than fif-
teen per cent.
On our relief farms we have better
corn that any that have seen in Cuba,
due, no doubt, to the fact that We put
more labor on the growing crop than
any one else was able to do. We have
one field that will give full crop, an
other that will give three-quarters OF
a crop, and third that will produce
from a third to half.
Business in the cities is desperately
dull The hotels are empty, restau-
rants are idle, and all small affairs are
lifeless. Large business concerns are
Scraping along as best they may, in
the hope that the future of the island
may be definitely settled. The gradual
withdrawal of the American troops has
materially lessened the amount of
money in circulation. The hectic flush
of unreal prosperity which many per-
sons mistook for genuine prosperity
has died out. There can be no return
CT prosperity in Cuba until the farm
ers have been helped back to their
homes.
In the country the desolation wrought
by war and Weyler still continues al
most without abatement. The big
planters have been able to do only a
little toward the rehabilitation of their
properties. They have as yet been UNI
able to obtain money with which to
resume operations. Money will not be
forthcoming until the political condi-
tions are settled. The sugar and tobac-
co growers favor annexation as bust
ness measure. Free trade with the
United States would serve just as we'll.
Cuban politicians and office-seekers
want independence. Any method of
giving them offices would satisfy them.
The bulk of the people want only a
chance to earn a living. Anything
other than Spanish rule will suit them.
Any one who denounces the Cubans
as a dirty, lazy, worthless people is
guilty of SANDER Any one who asserts
that the Cuban will not work speaks
without knowledge of the subject. Gu
bans come to our relief farms in
swarms TO beg for days work. Our
relief farms are giving support wholly
or in part to about $50 persons, of
whom about six hundred are dependent
women and children. We have work
ers in our fields who should be in the
hospital Some of them have insisted
on working until they dropped in their
tracks through sheer fatigue.

Capturing u Battery.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / have long
thought of saying something to the boys
through your valuable paper, and now the
time has come; l must speak. l saw three
articles in recent issues about the capture OF
the battery at Bragg's Headquarters, on
Missionary Ridge. on the evening of Nov. %,
1853. Just before the charge deplOyed my
company in front of our giment as skir-
mishers, then awaited further orders. An
Orderly rode up to ME and said:
"There will be 4 battery of six pieces just
in your rear that will fire six shots. At the
last you are to 90 forward with fixed bayo-
nets at Il double-quick, and take the enemy's
line at the foot of the ridge"
We did as ordered, drove the enemy from
their ritle-pits, killing and capturing a good
many. My men occupied the ditch. Just
at that time Gen. Sheridan came to me and
said:
81 have no orders to forward you. Can
you take that battery at Bragg's Head
quarters?"
l replied: "We can try. had rather 60
forward than remain here"
''Do as you wish," he said.
ran along the line and gave the order
" Forward i" We toiled up the ridge, keep
ing in front of the line-of-battle until we
reached the battery. Some of the gunners
stood to their guns until captured. At that
time Sheridan came up We went after the
fleeing enemy, and never saw the cannon
afterward. Some of my company helped
capture two cannon about mile from there.
When we halted and called the roll 1 found
that had lost half of my company. II.
