"CUBA LIBRE."

[Continued from First Pag6

(New Town), is connected by several handsome stone bridges, among them the notable Puente Belem, and contains the railway depots and many handsome villas in the outskirts. It has also one of the handsomest streets in all Cuba, the Calzada (Avenue) de San Esteban, lined with imposing residences, all of which have pillared fronts and porticos, and flower-filled gardens surrounded by iron railings with tall stone pillars topped by urns. Porticos and terraces are paved with mosaic of black and white marble, or blue and yellow tiles and the colors and combinations, styles of architecture and ornamentations that in our country would be pronounced gaudy, here tone in perfect harmony with the bright sun and blue sky. Matanzas' central square, the Plaza d'Armas, is laid out with the usual walks and shrubbery, benches and gas posts, and has a fine statute of Ferdinand VII, in the center. In this plaza in times past many patriots have met death by order of the government. Here Gabriel Concepcion de la Yaldez, the celebrated mulatto poet and one of the noblest men Cuba ever produced, was shot by soldiers of the U&e. He was accused of complicity with the slave insurrection of 1844, when the blacks made a desperate effort to gain their freedom. Grouped around the Plaza d'Armas are the several government offices, the residences of the Bishop, the Commandante, and others high in authority, also the finest shops and cafes.

The northern portion of Matanzas, that lying beyond the Yumuri river, i* called Versailles and reaches half way up the Cumbre hills. From the summit of the Cumbre, or rather from the top of Monsterrat chapel, one may get an incomparable view of the Yumuri valley—a stretch of emerald gorge with a river running through, enclosed within green hills —once dotted with gardens and orange groves, with stately palms and villas—now all blackened, desolate and empty. To one familiar with old Spain, the prospect recalls the Vega, of Grenada. It is believed that this narrow valley was once a lake, walled across its present seaward opening and that some convulsion of nature rent the bowl and precipitated the lake into the ocean, leaving the river in its course. On the hills nearest the bay are the barracks of Santa Isabella, now numerously garrisoned, the military hospital and two or three similar institutions and directly below them, for a mile and a half along the water's front of Versailles, runs the Paseo or fashionable drive, laid out with gravelled walks, and rows of trees, a stone parapet and iron gates at either end. Beyond the Paseo proper an excellent road extends two miles farther out, to the old fort and castle of San Severino, on Punto Gordo, "Fat Point." Before the war this charming drive was crowded every morning and evening with handsome equippages filled with the beauty and fashion of Matanzas but now not a dozen decent carriages are left in the district, the grandees of other days are poor as church mice, and only loitering soldiers and hungry reconcentrados are seen in the Paseo.

Breakfast had beeri ordered for our party at tbe Louvre, which is perhaps the smallest and cleanest of the tight or nine "leading hotels" with which Matanzas is blessed. It is built around a sunny patio in which palmettos and bananas, flowering vines and fragrant shrubs flourish to perfection. Directly in front of the main entrance, a beautiful marble basin set In tbe wall looks like the holy-water fountain in a cathedral, while above it a printed placard warns the populace, in choice CastiUan, that only guests of the hotel are expected to wash therein. A flight of stone steps leads to parlors and bedrooms on the second floor the rooms are marble floored, with dadoes of blue and yellow tiles, and all is as picturesque and Spanish as anything out of Spain. Directly opposite is a small plaza, with tropical trees banked by a moldy old church. In which a lot of rusty bells murder sleep for weary travellers.

Before the many-courae mid-day breakfast was over word was brought that the governor was waiting to receive us in his palace: and presently we trusted oar bones, somewhat timorously, to rickety

carriages and were ushered with ceremony into the presence of his excellency. The governor of Matanzas is certainly a rara avis among the Spaniards in Cuba, being an amiable gentleman and a friend of Americans. In his casa a beautiful suite of rooms had already been prepared for Miss Barton and during the somewhat lengthy official pow-wow, the governor himself proposed the toast,—"To the- Star Spangled Banner." Then the rickety carriages were again brought into use, for a tour of the so-called hospitals. I believe that no moredreadful sights could be found in the sin-cursed world than I had already witnessed in Havana and Jaruco—but for wretchedness unutterable the poor of Matanzas bear off the palm! Crowds of beggars followed us about the streets, displaying their sores and wounds and emaciated frames. Famine glared at us from a thousand sunken eyes. Skeleton hands were stretched in our faces, supplecating the wherewith to buy a morsel of food and stories of starvation, pitiful enough to make the blood run cold, were clamored in our ears.

The hospitals are mere sheds, crowded with rude stretchers—most of them with no flooring but mother earth and no sort of attendance. Over their portals might well be written, "All hope abandone, ye who enter here." Words fail in attempting to describe the soul-sickening sights that day witnessed—the emaciated wretches, the swollen legs and bursting feet in the last stages of starvation dying men, women and children imploring a morsel of bread the horrors of individual cases which nothing but death can relieve the dreadful smells and cries and groans that everywhere pursued us. Strong men wept like children, and with our tears was mingled burning indignation that such a state of things should be permitted to exist near the end of the nineteenth century, within a day's journey of the United States.

Easter Sunday

1 4 f' Has become by universal custom the day upon which the men of fashion mark the advent of Spring by donning their new Spring Clothing. It's a wise provision of nature and fashion that causes the budding of the Spring costume to occur at precisely the time that the winter outfit is approaching its sere and yellow leaf. At this time the latter begins to show traces of its heavy weather experiences. All this makes the showing of the grand stock of Spring garments a matter of interest and profit. We tried to excel in two features, style and price advantage^ We'd like you to see how well we have succeeded in each.
