MOUNTED SOLDIERS OF CrBA's ARMY.

MOUNTED SOLDIERS OF CtBA'S ARMY. cording to the story told by one of Funstons s army comrades, the present brigadier general saw his fellow war riors for Cuba fibre deliberately vio- late the white flag and butcher q Spanish officer and forty-siX men, It was at the close of the battle that d white flag was raised over one of the Spanish ockhouses. and the officer in charge left it to barley with the Gu bans. The Cuban commanding the ln- surgents operating against the block house went forward 10 meet the Span iard, having negro subaltern with him. The Spaniard was alone. When the two officers met the Cuban gave d sign, and the negro chopped the Span iard to pieces with his machete. The garrison surrendered. and the entire force of forty-siX men was chopped down with machetes. This incident is said to have disgusted Funston so much that he forthwith quit the Gu bans and by the aid of Consul General Fitz- Hugh Lee returned to the United States.
 Horses are very important factor in fighting like that which has been going on in Cuba. The insurgents seZ- ed all the horses they could get at the outbreak of the rebellion, thus crip bling agriculture and industry, and the government bought many horses from the United States and other countries with which to equip the rural guard and the volunteer soldiers. The Gu bans are generally good riders and take to the kind of fighting in which horses are used.
 The American commissioners have praised the work of Alfredo ZayaS. president of the Liberal party. who as sisted them in every possible way in their efforts to bring the warning fac tiOnS in Cuba to an agreement. Dr. Zayas has been president of the Cuban senate Before the arrival ill the is land of Messrs Taft and Bacon there was talk among the insurrectionists and their sympathizerS of the organi- zation of aE insurrectonary govern ment Senor Zayas was spoken of as the head of such Il government.
