| The ease with which Colonel Ruiz
and Mr. Tosca, » clork in the office of
_ the United States Consul-General in
; Havana, found their way to the camp
of the Cuban insurgents near that city,
suggests to the Chicago Record that
“the commanders of the Spanish
- armies in Cuba are not very saxious
to find the enemy. The members of
_ the Spanish legation here explain that
it is comparatively essy for an indi-
vidual to approach an insargent camp,
~ bat i is impossible for a body of
kroops to do so, for the same reason
* kbat the Irishman could not catch the
flea. The insurgents have no wagons
ur baggage, they are not inenmbered
by supplies of ammunition or commis-
- wary stores, they have no tents or
temp equipaga, they sleep on the
round, with the sky for a coverlid,
und when it raius seek shelter of
sheds, plantation houses or trees.
. They move with great rapidity, and
#oatter into small bauds and retreat in
{lifferent directions whenever they are
wttacked or purwned. With this guer-
tills mode of fighting it is impossible
Mor the Spaniards to overtake or sur.
round them.”
Boome people wlio a are always on th
~ fookout for dangers and diffcalties
hisve discovered that the employment
of Japanese servants npon the men-of-
sar of the United States is likely to
prove embarrassing if we should ever
_ happen to get into a row with that en-
Berprising little country over the an-
nexation of thel Hawaiian islands or
for any other reason. Formerly, re-
Istes W. E. Curtis, the favorite ser
vants on naval vessels were Chinese,
but when the agitation against them
om the Pacific Coast commenced some
years ago they were rapidly displaced
by Japanese, who are equally as skill
ful, obedient sodiattentive. They are
better educated and often more intel
ligent, although they do not rate as
. high for honesty as the celestials. It
is as difficult to denationalize a Japan-
ese as 8 Frenchman, He may go to
the end of the earth and remain for a
lifetime, He may be under any kind
“of foreign influence aud form any sort
of attachments, but he is always a
Japanese and the interests of his na-
tive country are uppermost in his
heart. It would be easy for a servant
on board a man-of-war to learn all
about that vessel, her arms and am.
munition, her speed and horse power
and even the orders of her captain,
but what good would it do? All im.
portant information concerning our
ships is published auunally in forms
that the entire world may read, and it
would be very difficult for a Japanese
citizen on board a naval vessel to learn
saything whatever that need eanse ap-
prehension if communicated td his
