Talked of Cuba.
Rev. W. W. Watts chaplain of
IIia Urst. TuvilH l'Hcrimnnt. which
has just rot u mod from Cuba and
ix now waiting to bo mustered
out at Galveston tilled tho pulpit
at tho M. fi church yesterday
morning aim evening.
TiiHt nisrht ho talked about Cuba
to a largo audience and delivered
one of tho most interesting lec
tures that is has been our pleasure
U listnn to in a loner time. His
talk covered a description of tho
country around Havana the san
itary conditions una tno noopio.
Anroivlinr to llv. Watts tho
real Cubans have been misrepre-
sented and are a much better class
of people than we have boon lead
to believe from the newspaper ro-
ports which have- been usually
... A ... .1- .!
written iroin too uucit oi somo
passenger steamer or from the
Hotel Inglaterra in tho city of
Havana.
In Cuba there are throe classu.
The lower class of tho Cubans is
thn nnorn. which is much the same
individual as tho colored individ
ual in the states with tho excep-
tion that they never sing duo to
tho fuefc that 400 vcars of Swin
ish oppression would drive the
music iroin the souis or poopio
more heroic than tho Cuban negro.
The secondclassis tho Spaniard
of pure Castillian blood who hate
the Cubans witn all tno intensity
of their nature. Third tho na-
tive Cubans who hate Spanish
as much as tho Spanish hato
them.
It was the native Cuban who
Rev. Watts plead for last night
und it was an eloquent plea that
awakened the sympathies of those
present for the" unhappy people
of tho fair isle. Of the country
tho speaker said thai it was iuo
fairest and most productive ho
had ever seen and that witn tno
proper sanitary regulations would
hoashealthv as anv portion of
ibis country- Water us pure as
any spring that gushes from tho
Blue Ridgo mountains was to he
hud in abundance. Tho land is so
fertile that it will produce every
thing tnat is needed in a great
abundance hut the people are
without money or means of buy-
ing tools with which to cultivate
the land hence it is next to im-
possible for them to accomplish
anything.
Accompanied bv an interpreter
and a guard Rev. Watt- wont into
the interior a distance of about
picrhtv miles and stopped at the
home of a Cuban who had lost
everything by tho cruel devas-
tating policy which had been
adopted by both Gomez and Wcy-
ler. This man had about four
acres in cultivation and the only
means or breaking tins ground
was with a crowbar which he
used to pry up tho ground. This
man and his family lived in a
house which was built of palm
leave. nml which did not need a
nail in its construction. This is
a typo of tho poopio in Cuba
who need our assistance in re-
generating their land and who are
anxious for tho support and pro-
. m a I &
lection oi mo government oi ui
United States. They are without
schools llmiiirh thev have been
taxed heavily for schools by tho
Spaniards and tho bare mention
tf the fact that they are to have
school facilities makes them sinne
with pleasure. Of tho suffering
that had been caused by the in
human order of Weyler concen-
trating tho people in tho c ities
tlm nil-turn hiLiI not Im-cii over
drawn by tho papers which had
described it. Willi Ins own eyes
ho had seen forms gaunt with
linnipr. dvinifon the rude floors
of the huts in which they were
huddled and when dcaln claimed
tho unfortunates Ihey were thrown
into tho dead wagons like so much
garbage. Thewe jteople are al-
most all of them hkcpticH Hev.
Walls said bocauso they have
also licen opprcsse.l by their
church but they do believe in the
fnit.-d Stales and have faith in
anthing this eountiy promises to
do for them.
In chsing Itvv. Watts told
about bow a Cuban boy had come
to him ssyinjr tbat he was a
Protestant and want-d to rome to
the I'nited Strifes to te -ln-at'd.

and that ho will he educated as a
minister and sent back to his na-
tive land to help his people. In
closing Rev. Watts said thattirsl
tho people needed food and farm-
ing implements and next tho re-
ligion of Jesus Christ as their
bodies must bo saved ami their
confidence won in order to save
their souls. At tho suggestion of
Rev. Pledger a collection was

was not tho purpose of ltev.

his lecture. The time was most

now has fourteen missionaries in
