HOW CUBANS LIE.

It is often hard to tell whether a
Cuban lies to you from ignorance or
malice, says Herbert Pelham Williams
in the Atlantic. On ordinary occa-
sions, and about matters that do not
promise to affect himself, he is fairly
truthful; but he seems to know no
reason why he should not tell lie if
he wants to- To the average Cuban
who has always lived on his own is
land lie is thing to tell whenever.
it will serve any useful purpose, -such
as getting him out of scrape, or Sc
curing an advantage, or getting money
out of somebody, or conciliating some
one, or creating a good impression.
Here the absence of a moral sense be-
comes apparent With the Cuban.
lying is not matter of right, but of
policy, his short-sightednes prevent
ing him from perceiving that today's.
advantage may be tomorrow's loss. The
statement, common among Americans
who have lived in Cuba, that the Gu
bans are all liars, is much nearer the
truth than most congratulations.
Though they usually tell the truth,
nearly all of them dissimulate or
equiyocate whenever they see occa-
sion. Hence it is not always easy to-
tell what Cuban thinks or how he
feels about the future of the island.
He sometimes tells you what he thinks
you want to hear. Every man of
property wants Cuba to be under
American control, but he Will not ad-
nit it before crowd, or even to an
other Cuban, unless convinced that he
too is heartily in favor of it. The
trait appears likewise in accounts of
the Cuban army. However, it is
only fair to say that the glowing de-
scriptions given by the Cubans of the
performances and the glorious Veto
ries of that somewhat mythical force
are not Intentional deliberate, cold
blooded lies Carried away by imagi-
nations as fertile as the soil of their
island, they actually believe their
own monstrous inventions. For, after
all, the Cuban loves better than all
other things on earth to strike an
attitude, to pose, to strut and brag,
and make himself out great man and
his gentle fellow islanders a great
nation Thousands of Cubans really
believe that there was once a band Of
men worthy to be called Cuban
army, and that they fought battles
Others admit that there were merely
little companies of starving stragglers,
who sometimes fired their two cart
ridges apiece from ambush at Span
ish scouting parties, and then scat
tered. But they all think they did
great execution. Get some American
or Englishman who was with them to
tell you his view of it. 1t will be
discouragingly different Cuba is in
tested with "after the war; soldiers,
braggadocio mock heroes who never
got within earshot of fighting.
