THE PEARL OF THE ANTILLES.
^r. Bruce Snider Writes an Interest:ng
Description of Life in Cuba.
Santa Clara, Cuba, Aoril 14. 1001.
" A
Mv dear Mama: I know you
are wailing* to learn mote of I he
particular* concerning my latest
nmre. Well, after a five months
trial of loneliness and unhappiuess
at Seltna I came to the conclusion
that it would be well for
me to move away to some place
where i would find new interests,
for there was absolutely no pleasiiie
in lile for me there. My
courage, while not altogether gone
was rapidly declining, and really
1 was near the point of giving up
my position with nothing in sight;
aft hough I suppose I would have
held on a long time before doing
sticb a thing. Although J had
worked hard there and suffered
the greatest inconvenience on account
of my business, my efforts
were not appreciated, as was most
strongly impressed upon me when
the time came for me to leave?
- ' ? " I -i

vianted that assurance. as I did
not caie to cut loose entirely bef?
re knowing something of the
position and country which I wa<
a I >< nit to adopt. They refused to
let me oft; and 1 simply puiled
out on my man, a* the saving
goes. 1 lie oftei which I had received
from this company I considered
a fjood one, paving abou'
$.'.0 more a month than I received
,11 Selma. Not knowing anything
?i ouf the company or country 1
HrjX little anxious about what i
w:s doing; but after spending
tic eral days down here I am quite
sat siied with the deal, have an
easy position, and one which I
think will soon lead to a better
one. Santa Clara is a town ot

rniies east of Havana, the latter
being about 300 miles south of
Port Tampa, Fla.; took 55 hours
traveling from Columbus to this
point, not counting 36 hour lavover
en route; was 26 hours on
water; enjoyed the trip very much.
I have encountered many queer
things down here, although 1 have
been onthe Island only four days
The soil must be the richest on
earth and climate the most delightful.
You have no doubt been
impressed that it was the most
^ sickly place to be found, but that
is all a mistake Like everywhere
else there is some sickness here
(no yellow fever), but there is
certainly less sickness here than
in many of the Southern States.
Temperature never above 92 nor
below 62. I am still in my winter
clothes although sugar cane is
ripe, and I do not feel too warm.
Have a good breeze all the time,
but in the sun it is very hot.
The streets are very narrow?
lo to dO feet wide; sidewalks
- ?1 ?..* > ... j u'ulu
IDCII^i too ut -i i?i ?.?>.
pie are not expected to walk
abreast?1 mean two abreast. Always
one behind the other; and
frequently when von meet any
one on the sidewalk it is necessary
for one to step down on the street
to pass. The houses are built of
stone cemented over and painted
yellow or white. Kverv house is
a fortress in itself. Doors of iron
and iron bars across every opening,
No windows, and practically
no window glasses. The edge ul
the house comes right up to the
street, and in the center of the
building is a squaie opening 15 to
30 feet with no covering whatever,
which is supposed to be (lie
piazza, aod in which are placed
fernc. palms,shrubs and flowers.
The uining table is kept adjacent
to this open court. Ked rooms,
kitchen, etc., are heated around,
| all opening into the court. In the
? mu.u Luhttay is usually kept tho
'family carnage, and under the:
| kitchen you will find where the
horses, cows and pigs reside.
The young ladies?and some of(
them are fairly good looking?never
| walk* on the streets unaccompanied!
by an older female; usually an old;
but?: woman understood to V. her
grandma, 'i .ie girls are not unlike:
j the white girls in the stales., a:j . J '
| don't wndtrsrai.u how they coulu be1
, kin to the old black woman, but evidently
it is a fact. The girls all go
bareheaded in the sun, and yet some
of them have beautiful complexions?
j powdered to kill though, which no
1 dtubt accounts for much of the
I o..a K^.,nt-v T-tuU uro seldom

worn by the women; sometimes they |
wear a black lace veil over the head, j
bub as a rule t bry wear no headcov-1
ering at all. Umbrellas are unknown
here. There are very few!
lehurehes, Today, Sunday, every
business house will be open until i
p.m. This afternoon there will l>e
:i great game of base ball, and everyone
is expected to have a good time.
There are not more than 1"> Knglisli
speaking people in this town.
Everyone of us is trying to learn a
little Spanish so as to make ourselves
agreeable with the natives. They!
seem very kindly disposed toward us
ail d we are invited and freelr ad-;
% '
mitted into the best homes. We
J have coffee (^caffa'j at 7:30 a. in.,
breakfast at eleven and dinner at 0
]>. in. After supper we go out on
theplaza (a small park in the center;
of tlio town) and eniov the cool;
breeze? mid sweet music, Nearly!
everybody turns out.
Praticallv all trading is done iu
Spanish currency, though U. S?
money is very acceptable. One dol-j
lar in U. S., currency is worth $1.3.)
Spanish silver, $1 U. S? gold is
worth $2,011 Spauish gold. The
price varies from day to day, which
causes much confusion in the keeping
of accounts, One feels like be
is ge'ti'Jg (he betier of a bargain;
vi Ikii he ill rows down a$lO bill and j
is given $13..r?0 in Spanish silver tor j
it. Prices are very high on some;
I articles. A neck lie which may be
j bought anvw here in the I . SM fur j
j 25 cents will cost $1.23 or more in j
Havana; understand some articles}
i are reasonable though. 1 went to uj
I lirst class store last night to buy uj
collar; could not understand what
the fellow said; called in an inter- J
preter who told me that there Were;
no collars in stock, but thev would1
make me one and have it ready this J
I morning. i;iu not, wse my measure
! or ask the style desired, so 1 uni real|
lv a little afraid to call for the
article.
It is hard to realize that the tremendous
resources of this island
have so long been neglected or an- j
j appreciated! The natives are lazv
'and want to do everything *'iuaiiariu''
I tomorrow. They make a living so!
'eHSv they seem to have lost * lie art i
of acquiring wealth. A family in the,'
country will have a small banana j
patch which supplies them with food j
nearly the entire year:thoy need very j
little clothing, so 1 guess they think
they might as well live 011 the easy
side of shady street. The soil is as'
rich as can be?practically 110 sandy |
rocky or waste land at all. Vet the!
country is thinly settled. There are 1
some immense sugar plantations?j
mailv thousand acres of sugar cane 1
in a single patch; indeed some of i
thef plantations are so large they have j
individual railroads to attend them. 1
The company 1 am with is more a
development company than a rail-!
road. We have ho road in operation !
at present, but some f>00 miles under
construction, will be in operatiou i

large plantations and extensive mining
properties which they will operate
in connection with the railroad.
I believe there ire many chanees j
down here for a youug man to come
to the front. i)f course tlvere are
many inconveniences and diavt backs,:
but the laud is rich and bound to!
prosper in the hauds of the people
who are turning their money loose
down here.
For mvself. it could hardlv be con-,
J ~
sidered a sacrifice to make the move;
i did. While 1 hated to go so far!
awav from home aud kindred, and
it required a great deal of reso-i
lution to kiss those dear little chil-j
dren good bye for so long a trip under
such vague circumstances; yet,
on the bright Easter morning 1
thought that the step I was taking
was symbolical of the day?a long!
period of tears and suffer!ug hud;
preceded?I felt little less than
crucified, l bettered that a brighter,
day had come. And so 1 pray that;
I may find it. With much lore {ft
