Humor of the Cuban War.

Rev. Dr. Itussell 11. Conwell, of Philadelphia, has returned from his tour of investigation in Cuba. “Beyond Havana,” lie says, “the insurgent lines are on all sides, from six to twenty miles distant. There seems to be a .kind of understanding that there shall bo no fighting around the city. The Spanish soldiers go out on the railroad to Mata nzas. right through the rebel territory, and no attempt is made to stop them. Trains eould easily be wrecked, but it is not done. Just before I came away the Spaniards got notice from tho Insurgents to sidetrack a train far a couple of hours and it was done. If they had refused to comply I donot If the train would ever have reached Havana, but as it was the cars were not molested. Why, It’s the fuuuiest war I ever saw.” The roan who minds his own business will always have something to do, —Ram's Horn
