our ears, givinir ti tn understand
thai wlial has been said of Havana

Home fear was felt by us thai we
might he anchored in proximity t.
in. i oft hose infernal machines that
hi i w nti the Maine. In.: it made no
difference in our sleeping just the
sum i . The great heat, however,
caused some restlessness. We had
truly come to a hoi country as all
will verily that night.
A tier break fusl Friday morning
we were towed by an American lug
to the Depot (uarteruiaster's l.ie!;
and tlteru we discharged oil cargo,
li was a relief to once mire vet ;i
tool on terra firtnn, even in this M.!
hole of a city. Naturally those who
had never seen Havana were restless pillow,
to lake an excursion "uptown," and wards I
a party ol u- struck oiil on tins ex
pedition. Well, 1 don't know who
were the most curious, our crowd or
the inhabitants. It wasa plain ease
otgnp, gap, gap on both sides. It was
little wonder oil our side as we had
never seen anything to compare with
the streets uf Havana iu our lives,
and it ImfHes my description to say
what I did see. We readily accus

however, and w ent ahead as business
like as anybody, barring our ability
t" walk on the narrow strips they
call pavement'. Most of the streets
encountered thi trip are barely wide
for camp life, we supplied our wants
in this fashion. I Inlike other hat
stores I have been in hats are sold III
the rough, a8 it were, without inside
hand, lining, etc. However, each
store has Imvs employed to do this
work and do the work in a surpris
ingly shorl time. As our time was
limited sight-seeing had lo be cul
vhiirt ami we retraced our way liack

for our ride

to camp. Some idti
ofthe lower classes of Cubans was
given us ;i we wended our way
through the narrow, filthy streets
near the (piays. There was one in-
