CUBAN FACTS IN BRIEF.
Interesting Itc. us About the
Pearl of the Antilles.
HER PEOPLE AT.D EEP„ FBODUOTS,
All About tlie Principal Cities, the Kainy
SO»HOI), tlx* loudly M:i<:het« 112 the Yellow
Fever, the I!e\ol ut ioiiistn and Their
(ircat St ru £??!<* l'«»r Liberty.
Cuba from east to west is 700 miles
long. Its width varies from 20 to 135
miles. The island, with its dependen
cies, contains 47,278 square miles. The
entire coast line is 2,200 miles in extent.
The Cubans are the planters of the is
'and. The Spaniards, usually govern
ment officials or traders, live in the cit
ies. In the interior all Spaniards are
known as Catalans.
The rainy season in Cuba begins in
May or June and ends in November
The most rain falls in September and
October. The average number of rainy
days in a year is 102.
Though tropical, the Cuban climate
is an equablo one. Tho thermometer
never rices so high as it sometimes does
in New York, and sunstrokes are un
known.
Mountain chains extend from east to
west throughout the whole length of tho
island. Between tho mountains and tho
coast low tracts usually intervene which
in wet weather aro overflowed and are
almost impassable.
Cuba has 200 rivers, all small. In
tho low coast lands both north and south
are extensive swamps.
Yellow fever prevails each year in the
seaport cities of Cuba, beginning to
ward the end of June and disappearing
in September. Foreigners only are at
tacked by the disease.
HAVANA'S FLOATING DOCK AND THE ALFONSO NIL.
[Uncle Sam needs Havana's threat floating drydock and will doubtless get it. The dock
was built in England and towed to Cuba. The cut shows tho Spanish cruiser Alfonso Xll in
tho dock.]
Havana harbor, one of tho finest in
tho world, is entered from tho north
west by a channel which is narrow for
three-eighths of a mile and then opens
into a magnificent bay.
For Havana to surrender before a hos
tile force is not a new experienco in
its history. In the flr.st century of its
existence it was repeatedly sacked by
pirates and buccaneers, and in 1702 an
English squadron under Admiral Pocoek
bombarded tho city and compelled it to
capitulate.
The revolutionary government of Cu
ba was organized at Camaguey 011
Sept. 19, 18!)."), wht-a a president anil
vice president were elected ami a cab
inet formed.
Tho general in chief of the revolu
tionary army in tho field is Maximo
Gomez. Tho lieutenant general isCalix
to Garcia.
The headquarters of the Cuban junta
in New York are at No. 00 New street,
Manhattan borough.
Cuba contains many mineral springs
which are famed for their valuable
healing properties.
Despite its tropical situation the city
of Havana is a comfortable place even
for summer living. Tho houses and
dress of the people are adapted to secure
coolness, and the sea breeze by day and
the land breeze by night gratefully tem
per the heat.
Cuba lias not been generally known
as an iron producing country, yet in
several years before the outbreak of her
present civil war 500,000 tons of iron
ore and 40,000 tons of manganese,
amounting to $11,000,000 in value, were
annually produced for export at tho San
tiago de Cuba mines at tho eastern end
of tho island.
There are moro than 200 excelltnt
ports in Cuba.
It is little wonder that tho Cuban
patriot handles iliu maclieto well, as he
is trained to it u>:o from Jiis enrliof
Voyhood. To the countryman it is ax,
jackkuife, reaper, cleaver—in short, it
fulfills every purpose, great and small,
for which a cutting tool is required. In
his private quarrels he uses it with
deadly effect, and face to faco with the
Spanish enemy ho feels that in liis ma
chete lie has a weapon which ho knows
and which will not fail him.
Tho boxes in which the Cuban cigar
manufacturers pack their fragrant wares
are made from native, cedar cut on tho
mountain slopes.
Havana, Matanzas, Santiago—these
are the threo principal cities of Cuba in
tho order of their size and commercial
importance. The exports of Santiago,
the least of the three, amount in times
of peace to $8,000,000 annually.
In tho western part of the island is
raised the celebrated Vuelta Abago to
bacco, which has no equal in the world.

The reserve has been called onto sup
ply 1,100 men for manning the 152 gun
boats, patrol I.oats and torpedo boats
employed in thu gulf service, and it ::u
--nounces thut ir will bo able to meet the
requisition.
Tbc'lir.-t attempt made in the United
Ktatito establish a naval reserve was
in 1 >-.50, wbrn President Fillmore draft
ed a bill providing for a reserve of 50,-
000 men. Nothing came of the measure.
As early as 1885 every country in
Europe had a naval reserve. Englaud
then had it - -; royal naval reserve of 20,-
000 officers iiml men and its royal naval
artillery volunteers of over 2,000 officers
and men.
It was through the efforts of Lieuten
ant .T. (J. Soley, a retired officer of the
United Stales navy, that the naval re
serve was iir.-t established in the United
States. Under authority of the Massa
chusetts legislature ho organized a na
val battalion in 1800. New York was
the next, state to organize a naval re
serve.
There are naval reserve organizations
in 1(1 states, with a membership of near
ly 5,000 men, which could readily be in
creased to 20,000.
The traiued naval reserve man is a
mighty valuable recruit in these days.
Ho is no landlubber, but has bad prac
tical experience on the government ships
assigned for the use of the naval militia.
He understands elementary navigation,
signal work in all its branches, artillery
and infantry practice, the laying of sub
marine mines and the manning of tugs
and torpedo boats for coast defense.
Tho naval reserve is demonstrating
that it is practically a second navy. The
drilling, practice and patient learning
tho ropes during tho past seven years
are showing their good results in this
time of need.
THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Strength and Equipment of the Soldiers
of Our J'irnt Itcserve.
There are 10,000,000 men liable to
military service in the United States.
Tho actual strength of all tho state
soldiers composing tho national guard
previous to the recent call by the presi
dent for troops was 113,400 men and of
ficers.
A special feature of tho national guard
of New York is the efficiency it has at
tained in the military signal and tele
graph service. The signal corps attached
to a brigade is furnished with all the
improved United States army signal
kits, field telegraph instruments, field
telephones, flash lanterns aud helio
graphs, engineering and electrical in
struments.
Tho work of a signal corps in stato
camp includes besides signaling the
study of engineering, including making
road maps, lield sketching and bridge
and signal tower building.
Tho normal strength of tho national
guard in New York state is 13,28".
The number of males in tho stato liable
to military service is 942,720.
Next to Now York, Pennsylvania is
Strongest in its national guard, with
8,547 men. Wyoming, with a roll of
!! !5, has tho smallest enlistment, while
Nevada, with o4f> men, goes it 0110 bet
ter. Alaska and the Indian Territory
have no organized militia.
There were warm welcomes in New
York city for tho up stato militia a
they passed through tho town 011 their
way to Hempstead. Crowds of peoplo
at the railway stations and on tho
streets cheered and waved their hats
and shouted words of encourageme .t.
As the men were ferried to Long Island
City the whistle of every tug captain
in sight saluted them vigorously.
A substantial, soldierly set aro these
men from up the state now quartered
at Camp Black. There is lots of fight
in them. Many of them saw active
service at Buffalo in the big strike
where they iearned to know what camp
life really is aud how to make the best
of its hardships.
