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. T,iiHt 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.

T'tllV adopted child of Chaplain Watts, 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 takon up for missions, although it was not tho purpose of ltev. Watts to do that when ho began his lecture. The time was most opportune, however, anil tho free will offering amounti'd to $37.-"), which liov. Pledger will send to tho secretary of missions, which now has fourteen missionaries in Cuba.
