I rc joined my regiment on December 29, at Savannah, Ga., jasfc in time to take the transport for Coba. Col. Jones gave us a Cne New Jfaar turkey dinner before leaving. Tae Savannah ladies had given us a royal feast a short time before. It took forty eight hours to get our regiment loaded on the big ship Konmaniao, 559 feet long. We had aboard 1,000 men and 375 horses. The 4th and 9th Iilinois regiments, on the ship Mobile, left port at the same time as we. As we steamed away the 3,000 soldiers, with shouts loud and long, answered back the good-byes from ibe great throng that stood on shore, with waviDg hats and banners. The nnnv big steamers in ft o port gave us a pleasant salute, which our Captain returned. It wa9 not long till our good ship was far cut at sea, and soon, all of our fair land was hid beyond the cre9t of the waves. The first day our ship met a heavy gale. In rid_ ing the big waves she rocked from side to side, making horses frantic and men sick, not even sailors could then walk the deck without holding to something, sometimes the spray would splash over the bridge. This ( gale made the snow white foaming billows appear as a great snow-clad city all around us as far as the eye could reach. Some of us that had hammocks hung them on the masts and bowrails so as t:> swing and not get so bad drunk as the old trans1 port rolled and seemed to try to \ damp us into the sea. Daring the three days we were out * at sea, the time was whiled away ( looking for land and at the passing ships, porpoise, sharks, flying fish, gulls and sea eagles. The third night our ship plowed through the , firey phosphorescence of Florida strait. The long wake of the ship and the course of the swift whirling sharks in the phosphorous appeared as so many streams of gold. At 11 p. m., January G:b, the revolving light in the tower of Morro Castle was sighted, and soon the thousands of electric light* of Ha- . vana were in full view. At sunrise the next morning we steamed inside ? i of the beautiful bay. Oa the east. side opposite the city the great lime cliffs rise very abruptly. On these are built maDy strong fortresses that guard this grand oid city. It made j me feel chilly to look up there at the , long line of big cannons looking down so grimly upon us from their deep embrasures. ^ Some foreign battleships and all ] of Samporrs squadron are now here. The wreck of the Maine is new 1 guarded to keep eff souvenir collec- { tors. The city of Havana is very crowd- 3 ed. The area being three miles ' square and the population 300,000. ' There are no houses of modern archi- ( tecture. That grand old Spanish style is still the go. All buildings are of 1 concrete, covered with pretty red 1 *.:1p Verv little lumber ia used as it 1 ~ ! 13 very scarce. Many of the public buildings and residences are impo9ing structures, they are long and flatroofed with many tall columns in front, inside of this colonade, the walls for four feet above the floor are lined with beautifully pictured glazed tiles, in maDy color?, while stuns hive large oil paintings instead. There is one perpetual spring time here. The green lawns, shady streets, large blooming flower yards, and elegantly kept paiks with hundreds of strange tropical trees, make this an Eden in winter. The city is rapidly recovering from the effects of the recent long siege. The stores and markets are well stocked. Oj these same streets one J year ago the vultures ate the bodies of starved people. There are still hundred of poorly clad hungry people on every hand. Many of them come to our camp3 begging. Small children of the poor may bj seen on the streets, not clothed with even fig ! leaves. All streets and road3 are ; mecademised. Some of the sije ; walks are only two feet wide. There are many American visiters j to the place where the remains of j CAumtus rested so long till recently, i It is quite common to see thirty funerals in one day in the cemetery. This is one of the prettiest places in the city, containing many acres of I flowers and tropical plants, with ! variegated leaves of many bright | colors. When the cemetery rent is not paid in four years the body is exhumed aud thrown on a pile in one corner. Tbere are now perhaps 5,000 skeletons cn this pile. The chain of foits beyond the cily are strangely constructed. There are two fences beyond th9 deep entrenchments. The outside fence is a thorn cactus hedge ten feet high, the next fence is made of six rows of barbed wire. These six rows are woven together, making it impossible to take such a place. Thi9 is quite a different climate as well as scenery from what we left, i We came away from snow and icicles and in seventy-two hours were resting under the shade of palm trees, j and oa every hand were green fields ! of growing crop9. L?rge areas here are covered with sponge like volcanic rock. AloDg the gulf are great heaps of beautiful coral throwD out by the waves, siDgle specimens weigh 5C0 pounds. This is the dry season, but abundance of rain falls for the growing crops. Most of the farm work is done du:iDg winter. Fresh sugarpeas, tomatoes and beans are gathered from the gardens every day in the year. It does not seem like midwinter to be eating watermelons, ind fresh corn. Four crops of com ire made in one year on the same land. The sugar cane farms of hundreds of acres, are planted only ;very three years. Much land is planted in tobacco and pineapples. 3ne pineapple farm here, of 200 icres, has 10,500 plants per acre, a irop of tobacco is made every ten weeks. This is the home of the cactus. 3ne kind climbs fifty feet in trees, mother looks like a 15 foot post. Tho hpflorft r?nehi<a is the crreat fence ? ?~ -? ? o bere. It makes a spreading shade tree twenty feet high. Many of the sheep have no wool md the hogs and dogs no hair. Gate posts and cross ties here are made of rosewood and mahogany. I saw some interesting things on )ur recent march across the island. When we struck camp on the crest )f the mountains we had on the south of us a broad valley, with several villages in sight. Beyond the tall palm groves, was the long blue line of the Caribbean sea. The *rcat caves in these mountains look ike the habitations of giant demons. Many miles of the mecademised road we traveled, is shaded by royal palms and other beautiful trees planted there by the government, rhe effects of the Spanish torch was there seen. Many fine farms with splendid store fences and cactus asdges around them, are idle. Lookng through the big iron gates be side this road, we see a long palm ivenue leading up to-only the stone walls of what wa3 ouce the home of some wealthy farmer. Our first day's march was on SunIsy. The farmers were plowing and in every town all the stores were open that day without regard for the Sabbatb.

The Cuban horses are very small, but strong. Sometimes a large man rides a full grown horse no larger than a big calf. Frequently among the lower classes, we see whites, mulattoes, negroes, dogs, cats, cows and horses all inhabiting the same house. The great blizzard reached us here. The natives never experienced such a low temperature before. Some of us put on overcoats and wanted to see fire to warm by, but had none. Frank N. Nannatnaker, Hospital Corps, 2nd. S. C., V. I.

New York, March 15?The Sun's j Tacoma advices say that Yokohama | papers jost arrived contain details of the murder of M. G. Blanchaid, formerly of Cincinnati, by bloodthirsty Manchoorian Chinese. Several years ago Blanchard joined a British ship at New York, but deserted her last year at Callao. Then he drifted up the coast and finally sailed from Tacoma to Yokohama. From there he got to Yiadivostock, and then proceeded to the interior. He was captured by one of the bands of Mancboorians that rove through north China and taken to the mountains. There was three feet of snow on the ground. The unfortunate American was tied hand and foot and after beiDg stripped was laid on the sno<v near a fire so that his head and shoulders were nearly roasted, while the rest of bis body was freezing. In the morning he was fliyed with bamboo canes until he was dead, and he was then eaten by the cannibal-'. According to the Japanese papers these particulars were received through missionary sources. No at tempt has been made to capture or punish Blanchard's murderers. Sure of Her G-rou&d.
