They acted quickly clearing up the

HABITUALLY INSURGENT.
[DaNenport Democrat.l


1t is nothing new-the mental pic
ture of the Cuban, gun in hand, hiding
out in the swamp living on the bounty
of the planter, in land where the
soil is productive and the market slack.
He is an insurgent, a rebel, a patriot,
perhaps, military hobo. He has milf
tary dreams, of the texture of cigaret
smoke. If he has an odd brass button
or two or an old Spanish forage cap,
he acquires companion or two as
idle as himself and is then a general
He is against the government, be it
Spanish or American, or of native
connection. Therefore he makes war.
He fights sometimes and eats always
Making war has less wear and tear as
a means of livelihood than working
There are many Cubans that have
grown gray in the occupation of in
surgenting. The living is not rich, but
it is without cost. The capital OF the
insurgent is a sorry gun or a corn
knife or cane cutter they call a ma
chete. Shafter got acquainted with the
Cuban army of independence when the
United States loosened the grip OF
Spain on the ever faithful isle. what
he said about its membership destroy
ed illusions and lined up the Cuban
insurgent among the insincere ana
shiftless of the earth.
