Tate, The facts about the condition of the insurgent armies seem rather dif ficult to get, and there are many in this country who arc disposed to be little the cause of Gomez and point to this lack of definite information in a kind of 1-told-you-so manner, government is preparing to make a conquest of Cuba as though no in surgent army existed, and this is proper, but it is more thin probable that when our forces land and begin tbeir operations, the forces of Gomez and of Garcia will be found much stronger than we believe. There are those who decry the personel of the insurgents’ army and of its officers, and yet there is abso lutely nothing in the history of the present rebellion to prove that it is not far superior to that of the Span ish army. The treatment of captives by insurgents lias been humane with few exceptions, while the treat.me.it given their captives and the recon oentrados by the Spaniards has been the most inhuman siuce the days of the Inquisition. Notning shows the superiority of General Gomez over his opponents more plainly than the recent procla mation issued by him to the Cuban army. It is lofty in sentiment and would be creditable to a leader of the most enlightened nations of earth. Gomez said: ‘T take this occasion to remind each Cuban in service that he now has a country recognized for which he must fight with all honor and glory He is now a Cuban soldier ana not an insurgent, and will respect the rules of civilized warfare.

Fol salo by K.T. Thompson Homer Ga, Tlie Climate of Cuba. Here are a few facts from the En cyclopedia Brittanmca that are of considerable interest and, valuo just at this time, in view of the discus sion concerning the climate of Cuba, :ml its probable effect upon our troops in case of an invasion; Situated within and near the bor der of tpe northern tropical zone, the climate of the low coas lands of Cuba is that of the torrid zone, hut the interior of the island enjoys e more temperate atmosphere. As in others on the land on the border ot the trop ics, the year is divided between the iiotter and wetter season, correspond ing to the northern decimal on cf the sun, and a cooler and dryer period - The months from the beginning of May to October are called the w“t season, though rain falls every month in the year. With May spring begins in the island, ram and thun der are of almost daily occnrreuce, and the temperature rises high with dailv vaualion. The period from November to April are called the dry season by contrast, On a mean ot seven years the rainfall at Havan na m the wet season has been ob- served to be 27 8 inches, of the clry mouths 12 7 or 40 5 for the year. At llavanna in the warmest months those of Inly and August, the average temperature is 82 degrees Farenl eit, fluctuating between a maximum of 9o and a minimum of 76 degrees; in the colder months of December ami January the thermom eter averages 72 degrees, the maxi mum being 79, the minimum 58 the mean of seven years is 77 degrees- Bui. the interior, at elevation of over 40 feet above sea, the thermometer, occasionally falls to the freezing point in winter, heavy frost is not uncommon, and during north winds thin ice may form, though snow is unknown in any part of the is and. The prevailing wind is the easterly trade breeze, but from Novembei to February cool north winds (los nor tes, “northers”) rarely lasting more than forty-eight hours, a>e exjiari ence in the western portion of the island, to which they add a third seasonal change. From 10 to 12 o’clock are the hottest hours ot the day. Afternoon refreshing freeze (la vizaron) sets in from the sea. Hurricanes may occur Irons August to October, but are less frequent than in Jamaica or Havti, and some times five or six years may pass with oit such a storm. Slight shocks of earthquakes are occasionally felt. There are no diseases specially in srenous to the island; the yellow fever, which breaks out with rene 7ed virulence regularly with the wet sea soe in the coastlands and seaports of Cuba, annually causing great loss of life, is quite unknown in the interior. —Ex. Mrs A. Inveen residing at 720 Henry St., Alton, 111-, suffered with sciatic rheumatism for oyer eight mentlis. She doctored fer it nearly the whole of this time, using various remedies rec. ommended by fiends, and was treated bv the physicians, but roceived no re lief. She then used one and a half a bottles of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, which elfeclod p.complete cure. This is published at her request, as slie wants others similarly afflicted to know what cured her.

Under the first and second call of the president and under the act of congress increasing the regular army, we shall soon have 3090, 000 men in the field - Of these 280. 000 will be in the army and 20 000 in the navy. Avery considerable numbsa - of these nn n have had no military experience whatever, neither in regular army nor in the state organizations, Hut it will not take long to put them into shape. The great miltitary strength of ihe nation lies in the adaptability of its citizenship. Since the embat tled farmers stood against the British regulars at Lexington and Concern, there has never been a time when the volunteer forces have not, after a little experience in the field and camp, proved ns efficient as the sol diers of France and Germany reared under a system which compels every citizen to serve for a certain number of years in the army - As The Tele graph has suggested hitherto, it would have been better it we had kept up the old custom of muster days in the militia districts, but even without that advantage we are tre mendously formidable for the reason ibat our soldiers go into the army of their own free will. Conscription can he resorted to by the government only under particular conditions. The foreigner may inquire as to w hat our government would do in case men should refuse to volunteer as in this war which is not a war for the maintenance of public order, or to suppress insurrection or to repel mvation, according to the content plation of the rjnstitution. The an swer is that the government would be helpless - But such a condition can never arise for this is a govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people, and a call for "olunteers always finds response - It is to the glory of our state that ibis is so. The solidarity of our citizen ship is not due to a rule of “blood and iron.” It does not depend upon the fear of the king. The volunteers appear because a deelaraticn of war bv congress is the people’s declaration and the people are loyal, not to the president or to congress, hut to them selves for they have elected the presi dent and the members of congress and to them they look for direction and leadership. They stand as the trusted agents, and not sovereigns, of the people. Thousands upon thousands of young men have erlisted for the present war, because their fathers and grandfatheis and great grand lathers were soldiere. They would preserve the family piesiige. Other thousands have gone in to make a family record, and all have learned that great honor comes to him who serves the state, whether he wear a sword or bear musket. A nation with such a citizenship is invincible. There is no such thing among us as “the canker of a long peace.” No matter how monotonous and prosaic nmy he the bread winning vocaliou of the average American citizen, his martial spirit is not dull ed nor his patriotic impulses stifled. His ears never grow deaf to the bui file call, his eyes never blind to tire flashings of old glory.—Telegraph.
