The awful tnaHMiicrt of the Cubans by starvation as well us by bullet and sword bus numbered among its victims ninny child martyrs to the cause of liberty. There are little ones in the Inner gent camps to-day whose playthings ere cartridge shells; whose lullnhy Ik the trumpet call and the noise of bat tle. This reTolution miint always live in history as one which numbers in Its list of martyrs, baby patriots whoKe blood lias stained their country's soil with that of their fathers and mothers. These children die, most of them, from fever and Insufficient food. They are gaunt little specters of childhood, with wan eyes that have looked upon terrible scenes of carnage and death. Some of them die on the field, where they march beside their fathers with tiny hands clnsping some Implement of war. Others are stricken down with machetes, or trampled upon by horses' hoofs In the wild charges of the insur gent army. And these little martyr souls pass away without a mother's prayer or a mother's arms around them. Their re quiem Is the cry of "Cuba Libre!" echo ing fro!! dying lips. Their little bodies A CUBAN BOY lie unburied beneaththe southern auna, until Heaven in benediction marka their resting places with Cuba'a most fragrant bloom of lilies and roses, springing from the very life blood of these infant warriors. The presence of women and children on the field of battle has been' used as a reproach by the enemies of Cubn. There have been stories of armies of "Ama.ons"-Klescribed as rough mascu line creatures leading the men on with their fury. To those who know the real nature of the Cuban women these stories seem like fairy tales. The women of Cuba are intensely feminine In their natures domestic, womanly creatures, fond of t.helr children, to whom they devote themselves from babyhood. The Culinn baby is a veritable mon arch in the home of Itn parents, and In times of peace the education and the guidance of the child almost consti tutes its mother's whole existence. The presence of women end their children on the field of battle is only due to the fact that every Culnui insurgent knows the Spanish volunteer will wrenk his vengeance on women nnd children left unprotected in the towns. It Is for this reason that, whole families hove fought together children side by Ride with their parents baby hands sometimes loading nnd reloading rifles for the men and women. A Cubnn boy or a Cubnn girl often enn handle n machete with ns much skill ns a man much more dexterously than the average American who tnkes up the weapon wondering at its weight and apparent clumsiness. Put the mnchete Is really a household Imple ment in the homes of the Cubans. It is iited much as a hatchet is used in un American household, but with far greater diversity of uses. The Cuban boy cun peel a cocoanut with a ma chete as easily as an American boy peels an apple with a jackknifc. The machete is used to cut sugar cane, to trim vines and to cut the great cacti and palms that abound upon the island giuuts ia their growth. ' There havo been many child martyrs to the Cuban war for liberty. There are only a few names written on llic death rolls, for the children Iiuvq not been counted in with the soldiers. Somcwhero in Havana, maybe, the names of those little ones are written in gold. Quo case came to my memory, that of Joso Priest, a 15-ycar-olil boy living with his mother and two sisters In Ha vana, llirt father was upon the field, and the boy helped to support his mother by -selling fruit and flowers along the Prado. , I had bought many bunches of rosea from him, and had heard many bits of news from tlio field which ho would whisper to mo as ho stopped each evening at the window of the Hotel Ingleterra with his wares. This boy died Hko a hero during my stay in Cuba. . It was at the time when tho lack of ammunition was driving the Insurgents to despcratiohi Several filibustering expeditions, carrying arms and ammn- uilioti iu plenty, bad been prevented from UnUiug within the month, and the condition of affairs as desperate. And it la this fact that makes tbe ma chete charges of tbe lusurgenta the wildent niid most terribly picturesque forms of battle. The men sometimes faced their for with only one bullet apiece to Bgl. with. When this bad been sent Into tli, face of the Spanish volunteers un trained and weakened from marrhln through swamps the insurgents would raise M heir machetes In the air, ami with the cry of liberty upon their lips, tears streaming from their eyen In the dexperate realization of their pom tion they would charge, a-tionw. a-foot. up to the very muxles of the Spanish muskets, carrying atl before them In the fury of the charge, hewing down the volunteers like sugar enne. One night. Joe t.ld me thnl his fa ther had sent a message saving that he had been so near Havana the night be fore that he had set his wntcli by the evening bells. "And I am going to see hhn to-morrow," he said, and showed me the letter, written In Spanish, ihnl had come from the field nppeulitig for aid from the city especially askfng for ammunition. The next day .lose took a loud of fruit out toward Mnntanzns. The mule moved slower than ever under his pan niers, for they were filled with cart ridges. It was long afterwards that I heard the boy's story. Towards night fall, when be had nearly reached t.lie Insurgents camp, the tired little beast refused to proceed further under Its heavy pack In spite of persuasion and even blows. Jose loosened the bogs from the mule's back and slung them over his own shoulder. Where before he had been only a peasant peddler, be FATRIOT. was now a auspicious looking person, and was sure to be detected if he was seen by anyone. He stumbled on in the darkness, realizing his danger, but determined to reach his father. Be fell many times In that journey; hla cloth ing was torn from his tired lees, but he plodded on'until a sentry's challenge rang out somewhere In the night. Then he started to run. still carrying that heavy load; but two shots whizzed after him, one striking his shoulder, lie hid behind rocks by the roadside until the lazy, half-drunken Spanish sentries hud ridden away; then he started on again. He reached the cu nip fire of the In Hiirgent detachment, where his father waited his coming, and fell forward il the feet of the surprised mm, whisper ing that he had brought the bullets nnd the loaves of white bread that his mother had sent, and a flask of red wine. Tho boy died two dayB later, his wound Inflaming and fever setting in ns a result of that terrible journey through the marshes. llucUo Hernandez was one of the girl Mourns oi the war. she wus only 11 years old, and living at Cardenas. She was playing one day with some other children, when u stranger approached and aiskcd her to carry a package to some one in tho town. The little one iiiuoceutly consented, and was ou her way to the house indicated when she was arrested and the package scied. It happened to contain letters from an iusurrecto to a woman relative. Iluedu was charged with conspiracy against the government, and was cast into u foul prison. 1 do uot know her ulti mate fate. Tho children of Cuba have sufTcrcd by this awful wur as never children have before. War devastates homes and leuves hearthstones desolate in all eases, but this has beeu a war of ox termination. In the children of Culm Spain sees another generation ol CulmtiM, even stronger in their patriot ism than their fathers who him gladly given their lives in the cause m liberty. livery Cuban biy and girl cver Iriby has been looked upon as a men ' aco to the Spaniard. These childrei rmst never be allowed to grow to man hood and to womanhood strong ii their love of country, with the men; orics of (ho ten years' wur and all II.. wrongs and massacres that their pai cuts have suffered In this war i avenge so reasons the Spaniard. J And so it is that the children of Cn:. have gono upon tho battlefield to (i li i with their fathers. In .the wonderf u war that the Cubans have waged, hold Ing their island In the face of an arm; three times their size, tho child war riors have played an important part .Their innocent lives havo been ncldec' to that vast altar upon which so mim lives have been offered as a sacrifice.

Speaking of the Plunger, the new ves sel now being built for the navy that will sail under the water as well as on top of it, Copt. Tvoyal 11. Ilradford, of the navy, said the other day: "It is a mistake to suppose that Jules Verne was the inventor of submarine naviga tion. A man of the name of Ilushnell, a graduate of Yale college, and a resident of Connecticut, built a submarine boat that rendered practical service during the revolutionary war. He was also tho inventor of the torpedo, and his achievements are described In a poem written 100 wears ago, entitled 'The Battle of the Kegs.' "One day while the British were oc cupybig New York arjd their fleets were anchored in the New York harbor, nn army sergeant of the name of Leo got Inside of Bushnell's submarine boat, which was built the shape of a turtle, and navigated all round under the water among the Dritish ships. He propelled himself with paddle-wheels that were worked by cranks with his feet, so that hla arms were free. When he got in sight of the fleet he sunk his craft and worked along under water with the intention of attaching a clock work torpedo to the hull of the flngship, a tremendous big frigate, but when In got alongside the bottom he found she was copper sheathed, ne did not have the proper tools to cut the copper awn v. so he had to work with a wooden screw, j Ho penetrated the sheathing, but struck a rivet or some other piece of Iron, nnd had to give it up. When he got clenr he let his boat riso to the surface of the water and paddled back to the patriot lines In safety. "Had' luck always seemed to follow nushnell. While tho British fleet was In Delawnro river, off Philadelphia, he rigged a lot of torpedoes and set then, afloat in tho water downstream. But without his knowing it, the ships hail been hauled up to the docks and l.e missed them. Sotno small merchant vessels that were anchored in the river were destroyed, but the fleet escaped The event was important, however, be cause it demonstrated the practical value of a torpedo. "There is a mun nut in Oshkosh, Wis.." rontinued ('apt. Bradford, "who has been working for years on the problem of subninrlno navigation, nnd has built several successful boats. He had a predecessor some nn years ago who was equally successful, and built n curious craft in which he sailed nil round under the water and often tool; his friends with him. Another man at Detroit some years ago built a sub marine boat that seemed to lie perfect ly successful. He was so much encour aged that he made a larger one, but for got tho principle that the pressure of the water Increnses rapidly ns the size of boat nnd the depth to which it Is submerged Increases, nnd his biir boat. not being stanch enough w ken he huh!: her to the bottom, collapsed anil he was drowned."
