LETTERS FROM
THE SOLDIERS
Many Are Forwarded Through Consul
Snyder's Qeneroilly,
ALL LETTEnS FnOM POHT ANTONIO
WAY MUST UEAIl THE JAMAICA
ENGLISH TOSTAGE STAMP. WHICH
COSTS 5 CENTS-THE CONSUL HAS
ALItEADY SPENT MORE THAN HIS
SALAItY POIt POSTAGE FOR THE
SOLDIERS.
(Corrcsponderce of the Associated Press,
Cop right, Ki$ )
Port Antonio, June 29. The Ameri
can soldiers in Cuba arc having gieat
dllllculty In getting their letters
thiotigh to the United States. Almost
tlnlly thousands ot letteis are brought
in heio by the government dispatch
boats but only for the generosity and
patriotism of United States Consul
Snyder, at this port, very few of them
would get through. The British postal
laws lequiro that all letteis going out
from here must not only pass through
the Port Antonio postoftlce, but must
have tho Jamalcu-Engllsh stnmp,
which costs live cents. Most ot the
letters coming In hero have the United
States stamp, but that goes for noth
ing. Nor will the nuthoiltics here al
low any ship to take the letters to nn
American port unless thev bear the
Jamaica-English stamp. The result of
it nil is that the large bags and bundles
of soldlets' letters are taken to Consul
Snyder nnd fiom his own pocket he
pajs the Jamaica postage and sends
them on to Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York or Boston v la one of the
Boston Fruit company's steamers.
Since tioops Innded in Cuba postngo
on soldiers letteis have cost Mr. Snyder
moio than his salary. The postal au
thorities at Washington have been ap
pealed to and it is probable that some
adjustment of the matter will be made.
INTERESTING MISSIVES.
It is interesting to look through n
Inrgo bag full of soldiers' letters ns
they come from the lleet nnd the Cu
ban camps. At least two-thirds of the
missives are addiessed to "Miss" or
"Mrs." Pel hops the gi eater number
to "Mis," for under this title come
both the mothers and wives Mnny of
the letteis bear no stamps, but are
simply marked "soldleis letter" or
"ships' letter " In the 1'nlted States a
lettei so marked coming fiom u mili
tary camp or from a wni.shtp would
be carried to Its destination, tho
receiver being lequired to pay the
postage But this Is not the case In
Jamaica. The laws here will not even
permit an Ameilcan boat to take the
letteis in bulk to an American port
unless the full Jamaican postage has
been paid.
Many of the letters are addressed
w Ith lead pencil and now and then one
finds a little vvoul tacked on that tells
.something of what the contents of tho
letter must be. Ftequently tho words
"to my beloved wife," or "to my dear
niothei" aie seen on the envelope. Per
haps theie may be a symptom of Just
a tinge of homesickness In this, but
moio than all It shows the closeness of
the American soldiers to the Ameilcan
home. Occasionally an envelope has
something artistic on Its face. One en
v elope addressed to "dear old mother
In Ailnina" hud a beautifully diawn
minutiae of the landing of the troops.
Another bad diawn in one corner a
pencil sketch of a cottage In Massa
cliusbetts, to which the letter was to
BO.
