From Cuba.

A short time ago 1 enlisted in the Sth U.- s. army and was sent to this place, My regiment IS stationed with Tn the city. Some companies are in comfortable quarters which became vacant when the Span ish army withdrew from tue IsfaNd. My company and a few other companies are in tents; eight men in each tent We are very comfortable and happy at present. ""e are doing police duty in town and many and varied are the sights We see.
 The city has a police force quite large. but not sufficiently large to cope with the many cases that arise. My regiment is called upon all occasions where danger is imminent. 1 might say that my regiment is termed "the fighting eight"ss on account of the part they took in the Santiago affair. It was the first regiment to land on Cuban soil and was present at the battle of El Caney on July l. In that battle there were over 300 killed and wounded. We were engaged in the battle at San Juan Hill on July 3, were present at the seige and battle of Santiago on July 10, 12 and IA, returning to the states on August 19 and camp ed at Mountauk Point, l.. I. We were then sent to Hunts vile, Ala, and from there to our present place, where we may remain for two or three years.
 This city is beautiful. There are some lovely parks within the city, with bands playing right and left, the na-
