F OR CUBA--WE ARE CROSSING THE SEA.
| Words and music dedicated to Capt. Henry J. Stewart
AND THE GALLANT BOYS OF Co.,D, THIRD GEORGIA RfiGIMENT,
NOW ROOSTING IN AN OLD OPEN SHED AT SAVANNAH, ENROUTE TO
Cuba ]
There's a sunny isle where the skies bei d blue,
And a fair tropic sea laves the shore,
But (he tyrant’s heel grinds the hearts so true,
And his sword dies the soil with their gore.
Oh Cuba! Poor Cuba! We are crossing the sea—
Your struggle is ending, and you soon will be free!
♦
Aye, we have your cry, and our gallant sons,
Like the heroes they were, march’d away ;
And our ships and tars, and our men and guns
Were at home in the tliick of the fray.
Manila and Dewey ! “Uncle Sam” at Cavite !
Old G'ory, forever —where the Dons lose a fleet!
From a careless sleep, in the strength and might
Os a nation of Freemen, we came ;
And our dawn of day ended your dark night—
For the foe slinks away in his shame.
With Wheeler in motion, and with Schley on the bay,
Our Jackies sunk shipping and our troops won the day;
And the sunny i«le bids oppresses adieu,
As they cross o’er the sea from her shore ;
And her people dwell ’neith “Red, White and Blue”—
, Happy people—and free ever more !
* 4
Oh, Cuba ! Dear Cuba ! Fairest gem of the sea—
“Old Gloiy” forever, makes you one of the free.
—Phill Glenn Byrd.
Alaska is a veritable wonder- 1
land. The more it unfolds itself
the greater the amazement. A
few days ago an unparalleled
discover/ of gold was announced I
—a find which out-Eldoiados
Eldorado. On the heels of this
intelligence came advices from
Lieut. Sparr, that he bad dis
covered a new range of mono-’
tains, 400 miles long, with aa
average height of 7000 feet. One
can almost hear the expansion
ists exclaim : “And it’s all ours !
All ours!”
Alphabetically and ia point of
deed, Rear Admiral Schley has a
way of coming out strongest in
the fifth act. He waited with his
Flying Squadron at Hamp'on
Roads till Dewey had sent up the
first grand rocket, he waited off
Santiago till it was time for the
last horn to blow, and now he has
just c?me out of th? Hobsonian
girl gantlet with colors Hying and
not so much as a black eye. Once
more we congratulate . the heroic
Schley !
It is rather singular that both
St. Stevens, the first territorial
capital, and Cahaba, the capitol
of Alabam 1 , have passed from the
face of the earth. Both were thriv
ing cities once, aud boasted hand
some two and three-story brick
buildings. Corn and cotton now
grow where Cahaba once flourish*
ed, and the proud Little city of St
Stevens has been supplanted by a
forest of tall pine trees. Eufaula

Col. Wood has reduced the
death rate at Santiago from sev
enty per day to twenty per day.
But m order to give Gen. Wood
only the credit* due him it is
necessary that it be known how

Where are all the professed
negro loves of the north? And
why don’t they go to the rescue
of the southern negroes who are
being k’lled and persecuted as
unwelcome “foreigners” at
Pana, Illinois? There is nothing
funnier or more inconsistent in
this world than the professed
love of the Yankees fur the ne

As the situation in Cuba
grows clearer to official eyes the
gorgeous overestimate of three
Federal army corps for garrison
duty on the island becomes glar
ingly apparent. One army corps
will probably be sufficient lor
all purposes of Federal military
occupation in Cuba after Span
ish evacuation shall Lave been
completed, and not a single
American volunteer should be
I
sent there in excess of the low
est possible limit of the force
required for garrison duty.-
