entrance to the camp nnd the other
liaiallellng It In the Hist division's ter

of them all told and thev dispense
about everj thing a man needs, horn
cigaiettes to salvation. Pive V M. C.

devoted to the lattei. Ice cteam, soda

Photogtaph galleries are found In

side of the business population of tho

boll's acies.
The canteens formed a pan uf tho
camp's meicantlle mako-up t.ntil th
Prohibitionists succeeded in having
them closed. The buildings arc desert
ed, but the proprietors continue to do
business, selling fiom wacons by the
ense or keg. The onlj dlffei erne in con
ditions effected by the PiohlbltUmists'
crusade was to make tho beer moro
expensive for tho soldiers. It, i'issihlj.
also caused more diunkenness bteait-e
when the canteens wete opened Jho men
In ught a bottle or two and dtank It
when they felt tho need of It. N w a
croup of them will finish a keg or easy
at one sitting.
All that Is necessary to secuie tho
beer Is a note from a commissioned oftt
cer stating that It 1 for his use and is
to bo dellvcied at his quarters, a li
cense the army regulations give to offi
cers. The business has grown to such
proportions that several of tho beer
firms that make deliveries on the
tcround havo hart printed forms made
up In pads on which to make the beer
regulations.
Whiskey selling Is forbidden entirely,
but there is hatdly a d.iy passes that
nn finest Is not made for a violation of
this rule. Yesterday seven of theo Il
licit venders vvete taken In tow by Pro
vjst Mnrshal Volroth. Five of them,
white men, had a wagon load of liquor
In Hip woods and were peddling It from
their pockets throughout the company
stieots. Tho other two, n colored man
nnd his wife, had a speakeasy estab
lished on a rath thiough tho woods
connecting th camps of the Kltst and
Second divisions, rt toute never fre
quented b the patrols of the ptovost.
The gtojf shop vvns discovered by a di
vision officer who happened to pa
that way. The ptlsoners were held In
the nichth Ohio guard house till even

civil authorities of Fairfax county. Thu
penalty Is JI.0J0 line and three month

From the Fortnightly Ttevlew.
Matanzas, although far smaller than
tho capital, Is decidedly better built,
the streets being much more regular.
Santiago de Cuba, the old capital, i
situated on one of the most lovely
ba In the world, but It is nothing like
ns clean nnd piopperous looking as
Havana, although It has much hand
somer public gardens Puerto Principe
has the advantage ot a chaiming nat
utal position nt the nead of a lovely
bny, and Its Alumcda, 01 public prom
enade, I marvviuubly beautiful, with
Its otately rows f ppneock acaclns,
mange tiees and cocoa palms. Matan
zas Is, aftet Havana, by far the moat
ngicenblp plnr of rcsldencr In the
Island, and s situated in a delightfully
fertile district Independently of Its
famous cijcstul enves, which hip of
great extent, and fotnipd of the purest
and clearest of took civstal, Matanzas,
close to the v alloy of th Yumuil, has
the good foitune tu be the most llden
llke spot In the West Indies It Is Im
possible to describe the charm of this
"happy valle." 00 rich In its vegeta
tion, and so delightfully is it watered
by tho River Yumurl and trlbutnry
sti earns, so delicious, even on the hot
test summer dajs, is its atmosphere
tempered '' the Atlantic breezes If
the environs of Matanzas nro attract
ive, I cannot eay much for thoe of
Havana Itself. The two pilnclpal sub
urban icsoits, Marianno and Carrnelo,
are not particularly pretty They
bonst of a number of wooden restau
rants, -ind public gardens blazing with
every sort of gorgeous creeper, the
blue convolvulus major and tho trum
pet vine being the most prevalent
Heio of n Sunrtav afternoon the Euro
pean cleiks, the Oetmann and their be

sufficient enterprise to make n road

Thmls might be easily done, and would
be of the urcateat udv untune to tho

If Havana vvr over to fall into the
hands of a mor. enter'iilslng not. 011

verted Into a flrst-ihiss winter station.
From November to tho beginning of
