Tampa, May 25.-The conditions of Cuban guorrillt warfare ro so different from those under which the regular army will do its fighting that tho equipment required for it may havo the iterest of novelty. To begin with, therd's the horso. The Cubans raise their aybrows and shrug their shoulders when they refer to the policy of the United States ar y in buying big and un aeclimated northern horses for sor vice on the islnud. Do it known to your Uncle Sa,according to soe ancient peact regulation about as suitabl tove present caso as the hoavy blue uniform is to a tropic suimer, will not buy a horse under 15 hands in hoight, and these bie gets in Kentucky, Tennessee and the eit. The Cuban of campaign ex perionno rejects a big horse a nda stall foed hors. He seks toughnes, wiriess, abovo everything else; the aadlity to do hard work on grass vlone. The Cuban horse never gets grain or hay on a campaign. He is tethered out tat night and must find his food for the vext 24 hours within the range of his ropo. The graFss are abundant on the island, so wvith1 a radius of 25 fot t grazo on th pn11Y mnanages vory woll. After at considoration of all thoe - Co ,sitios of tho sorvico I find myself t ho possetisor of at Floridat stockmnan's pony,l11al ovor 141 h ands high, tough surofooted, quick, ready to gio ally where, with a fox-trot for an ordi nary gait and a tendoncy-which would, be Astonishing but for his raising in this Saharan land-to break into a cantor whenever hn strikes sand a foot donp. Ho wasn't bought for ornament, but, n6vortholess h is a very seemly fellow, with a flowing mane and a tail that touches the ground, and puts on stylo enough 'when on parado to attract attention in this protempore cavalry town. I :tm much obliged to the government for rejecting him on account of size. Weight dosen't sooni to make any differenco to him and ho keops up that fox- trot of his for hours on a strOtclh without the spur. I had an. other of these rancher's ponies in view, a fellow that couldl stop in a run withiu his own length and double on his tracljs like a flash, but one of Sthese newspaper Croesuses snapped him up on five minute's acquaint ance before I could give him a final trial. These are the hor.ses needed fo 'uril work in Cuba, and if the United States cavalry does much wvork on the island it will cry for something bettor adapted to the ser vice than its heavy parade mounts. With the pony for Cuban servico ~goes an army saddle, a bridle wvith a -dettach ablo b)it, permitting its use for haltering also, and a long grass-rope ihaltor, with a snap catch to one end of it, ready to make a quick tether. Then there are the saddle-bags. The Cubans will have no wagon train for bagga'. -- n few panck mules car rying rations and ammunition exclui. sively-and the saddle-bags must suffico foi all inggage. Trhijs is no cossarily rohtricted to one change of clothiing and a few eossentials of small bulk. Mado into a roll and strapped in front of the saddle are hammock, and hammock cover, and mackintosh all obligatory in a season or rain and service exclusively' in the wvooi's and .tiolds. Th'le hammrock, as I muon ~tioned in a former letter, is made of canvas as at protection argainist inos quitoes, and the c,over is of rubber or oilcloth, live feot wide afid seven feot long, to stretch over the hammock as a i protect-ion against the dIrouchmug niigrt, rins anid dowsm and( the pono trasting rms-uitoes. The encamp ments iii always bo in the woods and tien offiors will hang up to the tro(os. I am not auiro that thoe rub ber "ponchos" thre mon will use In rains are not botter than the mackin. tolies, but the latter are en regle for otlicers.

Nuncz's aidos: A wido brimmed sorvico hat of light e color, with at Cuban flag or shield on tho front and a tricolor cord about it; a "chamarrota" or officers' blouse coat of tough unbloclhod linen, all pockets outside and buttoned, and with openings at the sido for ready resort to revolver or machoto; gray r corduroy trousors, presenting an in. hospitablo surface to thorna in the 0 chaparral; brown logging, reaching 1 to the kneo; waterproof tan shoes with very thick, wide and heavy soles, C and, of courso, a pair of spurs. Cer tainly a rig for service, and suffi ciently military in appearance.

Tho com mand of the brown uniform situa tion is hold by a Cuban tailor in Ybor City who has bought all the goods remniniig in Tampli to fill the orders of his compatriots. Tampa is short of everything for which t thoro is a special domand, food and liquors oily exceptod. As is known, tho United States government furnishes' the Cubans with Springflh rilles.

Key West, May 20. -The United 'tates battleship Oregon arrived horo ii morning from Jupiter, and is ow at anchor near Sandy Key kIt. Charles E. Clarke and other offi ers of the Oregon came ashore at 10 fclock and reported all well on board nd the ship in good condition. The Oregon left San Francisco larch Ist and arrived at Callao Lpril 4th; left there April 7th and assed Sandy Point April 21st, ar iving at Janeiro April 30th. The attleship reaehed Bahia May 8th nd touched at Barbadoes May 18th. t the latter placLA the warship wits uarantined, but. Fhe wis detained ly one day. On leaving the Bar adoos the Oregon a tiled almost di etly north, going to the north of )orto Rico about 150 miles. The ortherly comlso was coutinued until he Bermudas wei sighted, when he headed for the Florida coast. Captain Clarke explains that the oason for going to Jupiter inlet in toad of putting in at Key West was > o11ble the Oregon to be ready to p either to Key West or to Hamp >n Ronds in short order after got ing official information from Wash rigtoll. Captain Clarke had no official nowledge of the Fituation after iaving Rio Janeiro. During the ntire trip he expected momentarily > mot the Spanish. Only once, owevor, was there a call to arnis. his was shortly alter midnight on aving Rio Javoiro. As the Oregon was plowing 1rough the black equatorial so a ark object was discovered ahead ap areni0ly giving chase. The call to eneral quartei wias soinded, the ion rolled out of their berths with lo enthusiasm o' boys oni a circus 1ay, and almost instantly overy gun *is mannod. The Oregon left her ourso and circled around her black ursuer, only to find it a harmloss ark instead of a Spanish warshtip. Back to their borths crept the men ith mutterings of disappointmont, nd diiigust. At Rio Janeiro Captain Clarke wvas .id that the Spanish torpedo boat 'emerario was following him. This port gave new interest to the trip r a day and night, but at the next ort of call ho was informed that the emnerario had gone into dry dock at io Janeiro just after the departure fthe Oregon. The cruisie through the straits of lagollan was most interesting. It ~as at this far Southern point of the mnerican hemisphere that the crew :pocted to -roceivo it visit from the paniards. In many places the hannel was very narrow and crooked ith hidden bays and coves, and eck of them mountains towering in the clouds on either side. More. oer they were in the land of icy intor. For more than a month eiy had been sailing under tropical are, and now the blasts of Decom or whistled among the crags iabove omi and ice at uighit liay on tile eaks. But the Oregon did nlot lag. Cap. tin Clarke had no idea of giving ic Spaniards, if they were there, a lance to catch him napping. If m groat battleship woro to l)e nght, it should be a catch on the ing. The engines we'o waCrmned up'f )their best work, anid wher.':er it 'a safe and possible t he Oregon >wled along at fifteen k nots an hour. hoi matchinaery wvorke'd wil', and on ~casions5 the speed wva- increas.ed rae knots in a fowv nuui.ntevs. A stop) tbhroe (days wt as made at Saindy ointt, whero coal wats tatkeni on and her suppl1ies secuired. The -O regoun's 25 ollicrs and her 'ow of 4I2> seamoni were well and( nippy when the battleship cas~t an or off Sandy Key lighthouse at 0:30 o'c'oek this morning. The Or. 0gon is in first c'a is shapo and ready for another cruiso as long as the one jtit onded. The excellent condition of the men after their sixty-six <'ayS voyago is - perhaps oven moro ro. markable. Throughout tho entiro ttip there wore no cases of sorious ill. noss on board, and the ioni are as eager for immediato ttctivity as if 1hey had just come from a v.%cation in the mountains. The Oregon picked up the cruiser Mariotta and the dynamite cruiser Niethoroy between Rio Janeiro and Bahia, but sho parted company with them after a fow hundred miles. Captain Clarko said the crow of the Oregon had suffered much from the heat in passing twice through the tropics. "All the way along," he added, "we were wondering where the Span. iards were, and ve never scortained that fact until we reached hero." "Do you know now?" Captain Clarko was asked. "Well," lie replied, "I imagine we ca make a very accurato guess." The Oregon will romain hero for orders. The United States gunboat Hornet came in from the blockade this morning.
