army, which increased rapidly until itfha
reached the numbers of SO, 200 men, but thu
ability of Spain to furnish war materials
and fresh troops was greater than that o
the insurgents, and the rank and file of the
Cuban army began finally to tire of the
struggle. From 1873 until February, 1878, the
war dragged along in a desultory way, and
finally ended with the peace of San Antonio
which guaranteed pardon to all who had
taken part in the conflict, and representa-
ton for Cuba in the Spanish cortes.
1t was during this war, in 1873, that there
occurred the incident of the steamer Vir-
ginius which came so near resulting in war
between Spain and the United States, and
which did result in some pointed CORE
spondence between officials of the two coun-
tries, and the execution as pirates at San
tiago of So persons.
The incidents of the last revolution that
started in 1894 and led to American inter
vention for the pacifcation and liberation
of the island are too we'll known to need
any reeounting here. The leaders who
focked to the Cuban standard were men
who had fought for Cuban freedom from
1S6S-7S. Jose Marti started from New York
in February, 1895, Gomez, Antonio and Jose
Maceo, Crombet, Cebreco, Borrero, Angel
Guerra and score of others gathered again
on Cuban soil from different points to again
begin the fight for Cuban freedom. In time
Garcia, Robi, Rivera and others joined

Petersburg, is Familiarity applied to
the vast forest areas of Russia in
Europe, which cover 464, 54s,000 acres,
or SO per cent. of the entire area of

that the country may be deforested
through the carelessness of private
owners. and the government is con-

the forests. In Russia houses built
of any other material than wood

FACTS ABOUT CUBA.

Cuba contained at the time of the break
ing out of the last revolution l00, 900 farms,
ranches and plantations, valued at $500, 600,
600.
No less than five minor revolts occurred
in Cuba between 1878, the date of closing the
''ten years war;" and 1894 when the last
| war began.
From 1927 to 1864 Cuba contributed direct
ly to the Spanish treasury the sum of $780,.
