Havana Cuba, Dec. 28, 1898.—
After eight long months of im-
! patient waiting the Fii'st Texas
| regiment is at last in camp on
| Cuban soil and ir the suburbs of
| that beautiful ar. J wonderful city
! w£ have so longed to s^e.
We were kept iu waiting two
days after breaking camp.or rath-
er aftar boxing our equipments
before boarding the ship which
was not very pleasant, but at 3
o'clock Friday afternoon
the 2nd battalions, companies A,
E,1 and M, iu command of Capt.
Murchert of Co.M.from Bonham,
(M a;i. Scurry being in Washing-
ton), marched on board the trans-
port Michigan with the brigade
and regimental headquarters, and
left the Savannah docks at 4
o'clrck in tow of the noted dis-
patch tu>f, Dauntless, which
>layejd such an important part in
Jubao waters during the recent
war. It guided us safely down
the river to a pier on
%d(
the rear of the
Michigan began its work and
within two hours, although the
iky watf§gtar, we had left every
trace of land behind. All day
Saturday and until about 2
o'clock Sunday (Xmas day) we
could see no trace of land. But
at about that hour the massive
form of the "Royal Ponciana,"
one of Flagler's big hotels at
Palni Beach, Florida, came into
\i<w, and theime to cape Florida,
( Miami), we wc*e only about live
miles from shore, We parsed1
Miami just after dark Chntmas
night and could plainly see the I
wharf lights and ships as well asJ
the Royal Palm Hotel.
At 8 o'clock a heavy fog began !
to form and nothiug could be |
sighted* save now and then a
lonely flash-light from the light-
houses along the Florida keys.
Even Kev West, which we passed
Ht about ten miles and at day
break Monday morning, could
oniv be outlined by its lights.
Up until Monday morning we
had a ver\ epiiet sea, but just af-
ter passing Key West we encount-
ere a he. v> gale, and the Michi-
gan. though 4<S0 feet long and
standing 25 feet above the water,
pitched like a Texas broncho and
flipped water on the upper deck
The raging water of course wa
a sight to us, but hardly equal t->
that of the men who had succmb-
ed to constant sensation and were
stricken almost to insensibility
with tlie dreadful complaint, sea
sicklies-. Few escaped til s
malady, one of which 1 was—not.
I >.u ml t - period of physical
! < i fi i i ■ • xi- • ;il. iiid-!
•v rv man rem dm d'm th - u,i-
per deck, straining I heir eyes for
the first glimpse of land, which
gratified us not until about 1
• 'clock Momlov afternoon, when
we sighted the north coast of
Cuba and old Moro standing
boldly against the open sea.
At 3 o'clock we entered the har-
bor. passing within one-hundred
var«'s of the famous castle which
reluctantlv fire ! 'i; ■ 'isu il - dute
of eleven ^uns for 'Jcneral
Wheatou. commander of our
brigade. After enterinir the har-
bor and being sighted by the six
American war ships the Texas
fired the same -alute which a: -

as, New York, Chester. Indiana
and two others, the names of
which 1 have, not learned, >re tn-

I hroughout the entire trip tin-
neu were allowed to stay on the
.j-per deck Jand when we sighted
he city every, lie physically able
i • walk went "ii top sightseeing
We passed within ti ft v yards of
the wreck of the Maine, and as
we passed the Cubans on different
boats would point to the wreck
and accuse the Spaniards of doing
the work, while the Spaniards
would alike accuse the Cubans of
it. Since we landed and have
been in closer oonfact with the
people the accusations are the
same. The Spaniards and Cubans
are continually abusing each other,
which is the c ause of tlm daily
riots in all parts of the city.
The troops remained on the
ship .Monday night, nothing but
the mules (about 350) being un
loaded until Tuesday morning,
when the troops were unloaded
and marched through the city to
Marianao. a suburb of 10,000 poo
pie. six miles out, where we are
now camped.
We have been furnished with
duck folding cots and large tents
that comfortably accommodate
six men.
The camps are only temporarily
pitched now, and many changes
will be made Sunday, vhen we
hoist the Stars and Stripes over
the public buildings of Havaua
and Marianao.
While I have seen quite # por-
tion of the city and could tell
many interesting things of the
place, 1 deem it qroper, in justice
to the undertaking, to wait a few
days and become belter acquainted
yvith the subject 1 shail propose
to handled in my next.

Is due L.it oniy to the originality and
simplicity the coubination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fia Svbup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Sjrnp of Fips is manufactured
by the California Fw Svbup Co.
only, a knowledge |>f that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Cali-

cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

TU.iT TWENTY'
MILLION NIK SPUN.
The Amount Will lie Carried In One
of the Ke^nlicr Appropriation
tt Hi!I*, Probably the Sun-
dry Civil.
•Wnsbinetou, Jan. 9. -The payment
of $9)1,000,000 to Spain under the terms
of tne peae« treaty is beginning to re-
ceivo ntten on from the members of the
hnnsr wjmmirtee on appropriations, and
it is likelv tne amount will be earned lu
one of the regular appropriation bills,
probably the sundry civil. Chairman
fJaanou savs, however, the question hu
not been formally considered yet as
there has been no estimate submitted
and no official information on the re-
quirem- ut« of the case Moreover, there
w no desir* to anticipate action on the
treaty, and ntifii it is ratified by the
bouse u is hardiv m a position to cany
out this pr< vision of payment. In the
event of ratification, however, speedy
action will tie necessary The treaty
provides the payment shall ht* made
within three months after the exchange
of ratifications, and another provision
requires the exchange of ratifications
within six mouths from the date the
treaty is signed, vix: Deo. 10, last.
This would bring payment before next
session of conarress, sc that an appropri-
ation must be made at the present ses-
sion uto the short time relaps-
ing after taw senate' • action on the
treaty, and close of the present nuasion,
it is feit that little time will remain to
dea. with a matter of thus magnitude.
GOVERNMENT OF HAWAII,
The Hilt Hill Will H Ready fo, the
Hdvw In a K«« Days.
Washington, Jan. 9—It is expected
that the Hitt btli to provide a govern-
ment for the territory of Hawaii, whioh
has been nnder consideration for several
weeks m a tabcommittee of the house
committee on territories, will be consid-
ered hf the full committee and favorably
rfeported to the house eariy this week
There will be a minority report signed
by Democratic members. Mr. Hitt ex-
pressed the opinion, based on conversa-
tions * it& a number at members on
both sides of the honse, that obstructive
tactics will not be resorted to for the
purpose of hindering either the consid-
eauus or passage it the measure. He
also remarked (hat he did not think the
divergence bill ought to be repented by
the house committee and the one
already reported to th* senate jrb Mr.
Oollom from the committee on foreign
relations would be wide enough to
cause much trouble in ease either should
pass as reported.
Efforts will be made however, in both
houses to have the measure am ended in
some important respeots. A number of
senators and representatives are anxious
that no provisions s'jall be embodied in
the Hawaiian act which might be cited
and urged as precedents in future legis-
lation concerning territorial acquisition
either accomplished or prospective as a
result of the war with Spain. Many of
them are opposed to the provision far a
delegate in oongress from Hawaii and
are strongly desirous of having incor-
porated in the act a declaration that
nothing therein contained shall he con-
sidered or taken to imply the future ad-
ministration of Hawaii as a state. It it
understood that Senator Piatt of Con-
necticut will offer an amendment to
strike oat of the eenate bill the section
providing for a delegate in oopvTeos and
ales ona embodying the declaration in
regard to ultimate statehood.
"Whereas, all just powers of
ernment are derived tram the consent of
the governed • therefore, be it reeoived,
by the senate of the United States
that the government of the Unit-
ed States of America will not
attempt to govern the people
of any otheif country in the
world without the consent of the people
themselves, or subject them by force in
our dominion against their will."
Mr Mason asked that the resolution
lie on the table, annonacing Us inten-
tion of addressing the senate Upon it
Thursday next.
