M ll Kl) \vfTtt POI ll KvV.W Hill I. A? an American ; 11% Fueglit ilio Hurl and Kfllr.l tbe Cubnn. Soon after the Oulxms were compelled to surrender tho Virgiuins to Uncle Sam 1 landed in Havana as the agent ?>f un American agricultural work-, says a writer in the Detroit Tree Press. For t?nate for me in this case l could chatter away in Spanish with any of them, and though I was bom and roared in vdiio I waa supposed to be an Englishman. Had I given out that l was a straight haired Yankee the chances of being moblad or knifed or sled, would have been excellent. The feeling against Americans was so very bitter that one from the States was liable to insult and violence on the publie stroet?. 1 had been herc about a w< ok w hen an American named Charles Whitley, from Michigan, arrived with bis wife. Whit ley was an invalid, and he had conn- t<> Cuba by the advice <-f a physician, I re member him as a tall, pale-faced and ex tremely court?, ons gentleman, while Bhe was a little bit of a woman who was all hope and sunshine, lt s<> happened that I made theh acquaintance the first day they landed, and I felt it my duty to warn Whitley of the feeling entertained against our nationality. My advice t<> lum was to keep close for a time und t<> carefully avoid being mixed up in any discussion of a public nature, lie ha I been there a week without anything br ing saitl to him, win n one day, as we sat in the hotel reading room, a couple of Cubans who spoke v. ry good English came in and toe di seat.- near us. Then was no donbt in my mind from thc firs! that they meant tu draw Whitby int.' a trap. Tiny began by abusing and maligning Americans and wishing fur war, and when he persistently refused to take notice ol them ? nu of them deliber ately turned upon him and said: "tlavaiia is U0 pince for such as you." "Thc gentleman is an invalid," 1 re plied. "But he is also a Yankee." continued thc Cuban. '"Our Government should not permit them to oven land <>n the island." Whitley's facogrew paler, and ho bit bis Bps to keep back the hot words which wanted to come, but ho made n?> reply. The larger uf the two men, who appear ed to be a native tire eater, waited for a moment, and then rose up and said to the Michigander: "All Yankees are cowards! I insult you! Demand satisfaction if you dare!" "I do demand it!" answered Whitb y, in a low voice. "You evidently want a duel! You shall have it'.''" "Good!" hissed the other. "My friend here will arrange tho details with your friend. Yon have moro courage than I thought f? >r." Ile walked away with a nod to me, and was followed by bis friend, who promised to return in half an hour. "You can t mean to light him?" I in quired of Whitb y when we were alone. "But I do. UL- insulted me as an American, hoping to provoke a duel, and as an American I will light him." "But your health"/" "Never mind my health. All 1 want is to keep the affair from my wife until it is over with. Arrange to fight him to morrow morning." "With what weapons?" "1 never had a sword in my hand, and I have had no experience with pistols. Choose pistols, however. I know enough to sight and tire one, and J must take my chance-. There was no doubt that the man was an experienced duelist, but the more i argued with Whitb y t o more d< termin cd he was to fight. Under ail the cir cumstances it would Lave been no dis grace fdr him to refuse, but from tho very first his mind was made up. Such atlairs are easily and quietly arranged in Cuba. When the second returned, we mettled on pistols for weapons, and bo was kind,?n0Ugh to say that he Would arrange fora surgeon to be present. We were to be at a certain spot about four miles distant at a certain hour in the morning. The fellow was a pink td' polit?ness, and I carried the idea that I had been mixed up in several affairs of thc sort, and that my principal was nol n green hand on tia field of honor. 1 did not see Whitley again until wt took a carnage in tl 0 morning to drive to tho grounds, ile was calm ami self possessed, ami on the wav out arra:."'ed with me about sending his wife home in case of his death, and provided bu- nth. r emergencies. The little woman bad not received the slightest hint of what was OB the tapis, no fourni tia- other par tics waiting for us, and the details wero Speedily arranged. The men wen- placed fifteen paces apart, ami it was under stood that tin y wero to lire until one <>r thc other was killed or wounded. lu case either was WOlUlded and wanted to continue the light, thc duel should go on. '1'he two pistols were loaded and handed to the principals, .ind the awk ward manner in which Wh?tW*? held los made the Cuban* smile. I had told him how to stand so as to present tho smallest possible target to his opponent, but as they took their places f was horrified t< ?ce him present his full froid, lt se, med OS if any one who could sight a pistol must bon bim through at the first tire. He was a trille paler than usual, but he stood firm on his feet and was in good nene. The word was finally given-one. two, three, tire-and both pistols wen- dis charged at once. 1 was looking at Whit ley. 1 saw a piece of ?loth from Ilia should Hy in the air, and as I turned my gaze toward the Cuban I saw the Latter ?ink down in a heap, as if h.- had been struck on top of tia head. Wo ran to him to find ti bullet lade in thc center of his forehead, and ho was Stone dead. His bullet hod cl J i j ?j .< < 1 Whitby's right shoulder, but w ithout drawing blood. I never saw two men so dumbfounded rs the surgeon and the Cuban's second, lt was a minute bet re they could realize the disaster. Everything had been fair .Ad according to tho Code, and nothing reman,ed for us except to return to thc city. Whitley was wry calm and self possessed; neither astonished nor ex ultant. "What spot did you aim for?" ? asked aa wc rode homeward. "None at all," ho replied. *T hod both oyes shut when 1 pulled the trig ger."
