I smelled electricity and think he ‘had some in his hand_and put it on me, and my jaw don't feel right. Please, sir, take it off,” pleaded the terrorized boy. “How does electricity smell?” asked one of the hospital surgeons, a broad smile overspreading his face. “It smells something like gas—something like that, sir.” ‘The surgeon examined the jaw and found absolutely nothing wrong. “It feels heavier than the other one,” the boy declared. “Then the best thing to do,” concluded the surgeon, “is to put a little sure enough electricity on your jaw. That will fix it all right.’ The boy could not be persuaded to sub- mit to any such treatment, however, and left the hospital, vowing he had been con- jured or “hoo-dooed.

PROGRESS IN THE WAKE OF WAR A Better Feeling Shown Toward ig merean Authority. gee A PIER AND CAMP SITE - ——— [Copyright, 1898, by Charles M. Pepper.} From a Staff Correspondent. MARIANOA, Cuba, November 19, 1898. Between six and seven thousand insur- gents have their camps in this neighbor- hood, within fifteen miles of Havana. One hundred of them are working on the pier and the little spur of railroad which the United States is building for the use of the troops. The others promise to go back to the plantations or to whatever work can be found as soon as definite word comes of General Calixto Garcia's mission in Wash- ington. They want something done about their pay and they would like to have a little of it in cash. When the American occupation comes and the military authori- ties begin a system of public improvemen:s, chiefly sanitary, part of these Cuban sol- diers will unquestionably be offered em- ployment, and it will not be refused. The majority, however, seem to be longing to return to the plantations and to their homes in the country. Some idle and vicious among them may be expecting to nang around the cities, yet these are exceptions. 1 have neticed here as well as in other places where the Cubans who have been in the brush for three years are encamped that they are not looking forward to staying in the towns after disbandment. That is the best sign of the future for them and for the island. In the Days of Slavery. Marianoa is so close to Havana that it might be called a part of the city, though the railroad takes forty-five minutes to travel the seven or eight miles. It is a con- servative English railroad, with a conserva- tive Scotch manager. The line passes through some beautiful suburbs and skirts the edges of the famous Toledo sugar plan- tation. This is the plantation which an ag- gressive Spaniard made productive and profitable with the blood of counuess slaves. Jt was once the boast of the Spanish thac slavery in Cuba was a humane institution ia comparison with the United States. Per- haps it was, but when the reminders of it are encountered there is the same story of the cheapness in which human life in bond- age was held by those who owned it. I did not mean to indulge in these moral reflec- tions, but often in admiring the Toledo sugar estate the history has been told me of its masterful owne* who enriched its soil with black blood and who died a tragic and lonely death in the midst of the wealtr he had created. The plantation remains in the family Progress in the Suburbs. Maricnoa proper lies on the bills. Before the war it was the home of many of the richest citizens of Havana, give the best idea of what Gences are in the tropics and its villas country resi- I have heard that the majority of its wealthy idents were Cubans, but do not know whether that is so. Sco many of the places were Gestroyer by Weyler’s orders that the statement is not improbable. Weyler did not destroy the property of Spaniards. Though it lies so close to Havana, Marianoa in its day has had its chapter of brigandage. It wa the home of some gentlemanly bandits, wno dat regular intervals and then reappeared and lived in luxurious. idlenes: The town complained, but was helpless. One day a new alcalde, or mayor, w: pointed. This alcalde did not lack for character. He o gent men residents who had no visible means of support, vet who lived at eas iy money to gratify his exper had been passably intimate young men. Said the alcalde: sponsible for the public order and safet in Marianoa. If wnybedy 1s robbed or hurt in my jurisdiction T shail have you shot.” His old friend protested that the public suspicion did him grave injustice, but the alcalde was inflexible. He knew nothing of the whispered gossip of the town. All he s that if anybody should be rob- bed or murdered within his jurisdiction he would have his old school fellow shot. This alcalde ruled ven years in Marianoa. During that period brigandage was not precticed. When he gave up his office be- cause of advancing age there was fear that it would be resumed, but the brigands had disappeared, and they did not come back. though Cuban born, was in- Spanish. He was forme colonel of volunteers, and during the blockade he uctive military service again, so might unsheath a rusty sword United States. Now that it is ation, so that his ae nts an be secure. He would not rican Hotel. going to have an American hotel somewhere on the hills that over- cok the sea. The capitalists, whose agent by here for a month, have decided t tk the place for it, rather than in has th: Havana. 1 say they are going to in- Vest $1,500,000, and as they have not been around seeking free newspaper advertising their statement may be credited. Tke ¢ tric railway from Havana out through the Vedado will also be built by American cap- ftalists. When that is done I don't know whether or not the steady little English railroad will continue to pay steady di dends. Investors in the United States however. may be sure that the English capital which is employed in various en- terprises in Cuba is not going to be 1 out. Some of it came here when an capi was hesitating. Londor is very tenacious of {ts Cuban investments whether in railroads or in other property The Play It is two or three miles from the village proper to the playa or beach, and ‘here is litde to see, except swamps and marshes. The Spanish troops moved away from the playa several days ago, end were courteous enough to send word to the insurgents, who came in and took possession, though their camps remain located back in the country The house of the yacht club ts the head- quarters of Gen. Menocal, who commands the corps in Havana and Matanzas prov- inces. He is in the thirties, is a civil engi- neer by profession, was educated in the United States, and graduated from Cornell College. A fine silk flag, with the single star of Cuba Libre, floats from the club house. Old Glory as an Advertisement. Further down the single street. over a poor-looking house, are stuck two cheap- looking American flags. 1 was curious to know whether they were the offering of some patriotic Cuban, and investigated, with results that were dis- gusting. The place is an “American bar room.” The enterprisirg proprietor has the flags out as an advertisement. I think there is a law in the states against dese- crating the flag by using it for advertising purposes. The pity is that no authority exists here for stopping the desecration. 1 asked one of the Cuban officers if they had no means of stopping the exhi- bition. “And have it complained that we ara tearing down your flag?” he said. He was probably right, but the nuisance is no less trying to reputable people from the United States. The Ameri- can bar room has been the first American Institution to establish itself in Cuba. It is sufficiently promin2nt in itself without the necessity of advertising by the use of the national emblem. The Cuban Flag. ‘To return to the Cuban flag. I wanted to know If the insurgents and their supporters and sympathizers understood ther2 would be a period when ft could not mean quite the same as it does today, flying over the “headquarters” of Gen. Menocal. In other words, that during American military oc- cupancy, while th? Cuban ensign might continue as the symbol of an aspiration, there could be only one symbol of authori- ty, which must be the stars and stripes. My inquiries along this ling fyfre pointed and thorough. They! were mé¥ifrankly. I was told that in the beginning there had been much misconcepijen, some violent counsels and a disposition to oppose the coming of American troops. ‘The situation had been met fatriy, tully explained and a_ better _ understanding reached. Now all the soldfers)in the “army of liberation” have acquiesced in the Amer- iean military control. General Calixto Gar- cia during his stay emphasized that the Americans were coming 4§firiends, that they would be on the islané for some time and that theirs was the authority which must be respected. At 9resent the 1 gent troops are more concerned over the arrangements for giving $bem the assu- rance of pay than over the immediate gov- ernment of the island. a The Cubans Will Work, Of course, the test of the_respect shown American authority and the willingness to return to peaceful pursuits, measured by acts rather than by words, is to come. On the other hand, the plantations which wii have cane to grind are not yet in need of labor and no publie works have been un ter- taken. Most of the Cuban soldiers who were working at the pier and on the rail- way spur were blacks. They were quite active. “Yes,” sald one of the officers, in answer to my observation, “they work well. Those hundred men were chosen from 2,000 who wanted the chance. They know if t lag somebody else wii! get their job. TI receive $1.20 a day in Spu itver. money is their own, and it is the first they have had a c¥ance to earn in three years. If the Urited States furnishes tue work I don’t believe you'll find many men in our ranks who won't jump at the chance of earning wages.” An American Insurgent’s Views. Lieut. Col. Jones, one of the Americans who has been with the Insurgents from the beginning—such Americans were not numerous—expla'ned the cxpectations to me a little more fully. Col. Jones is a native of northcrn New York, who found himself engaged as an electrical engineer cn one of the sugar plantaticns when the insurrection flemed up. “It was one thing or the other,” he said. “A man had to be either a Cuban or a Spaniard. The Cubans might not come up to our ideas, but no American living in Cuba could be a Span- iard. I went into the ficld under Gomez and staid there. It was a soldier's life all the way through—either a famine or a feast. May be it was oftener the famine than the feast, but that is all past. What we want now {fs to know something of the future. Take my own case. 1 have never received a dolar of nay. I am en- {itled to several thousand dollars. I don’t expect to get all of it, but I want some- thing and I would like to know how the matter is going to be arranged. I am go- ing to settle in Cuba and a little capital will be a good start. But I don’t wish to ask for a discharge and leave the army until I.know what is to be done. You will find it that way with the soldiers. They are waiting for a formal disbandment which will give them all an equal chance of something in the future. They hone Gen. Garcia and the delegation will be able to do something in Washington. What they say about annexation or against an. rexation is not of much account. "They all know that the American troops will be here a while before that question has to be decided.” Col, Estampes of New Orleans the com- mander of Gea.
