sion knows at the date of this letter what
it intends to do? Up to that time
there can be no hostilities between
Spain and America, and after that time
you well know that Spain cannot carry
on the war, for she has nothing and no
backing to carry out euch a plan. All
that can be expected up to that time is a
guerilla warfare with the natives, and
let me once more tell you, we did not
enlist to fight any other nation or na
tions than those who sided in with Spain,
and these insurgents certainly do not
come under that class."

"Major Eastwick was field officer of

evening he was making his usual
round. Of course it was the duty of the
sentry at every poet to halt, challenge
and call the corporal of the guard. Well,
on post No. 1J the sentry yelled out,
'Halt! who goes there?' Just then the
major slipped and fell into a mud puddle
and in a fit of anger he exclaimed : ' Je
sub Christ! (not a very appropriate
tname.) The sentrv called out: 'Cor-
poral of the guard, turn out ' the twelve
