THE CKUEL MACHETE,
A STORY OF THE LAST REVOLUTION
IN CUBA.
Terrible 1'ato Which Overtook a Uand
or JXoblo Spanish ChivaIry-OIislvo
Trom u liravo Chlcasoaa Shadows rf
a Starless Sight.
"Bat the machcto means something to
the Cuban," said the old don. "It isn't
merely a rusty old relic It has drunk
much "blood. Whenever it is dravm,
either against tho soldiery or in riot,
omebody dies. Do you want a little tale
of the machete one that is true and
ehowa -what avful havoc may be done
with it?
"Well, at the outbreak of our last re
bellion here tho Spanish forces in the
island made no headway against tho
brave work of tho insurgents under the
noble Cesnldcs, who, in October, lSZ,
with but lifty other stoat hcart3 about
him, raised the standard of independence
on his plantation at Demajagus, and by
December liad an organized army of
12,000 men tho nucleus of the effort for
liberty which flamed through Cuba for
eight bloody years, costing Spain untold
millions in monoy and the lives of 130,003
men, half cf whom saw the swift gleam of
the tkibhmg machete before their last
prayers to the Virgin.
i'They were impatient In Spain because
thi3 little affair was not promptly sup
pressed, i. inally, at court and in social
life, tho whole matter became such an ir
ritating joke that the chivalous youth of
the best families in Spain banded "together
to take a little jaunt to Cuba and put
down these cane chewing rebels some line
af tcrnccn between breakfast and dinner,
or between dinner and the Havana even
ing bdl.
SHAVE ArD GAT AD K03LE.
"TI ey were an even o,000. Brave and
gay and noble wore they. They Lcld the
be t blood, ""he highest hope of Spain.
JLnJ what a grand departure from Barce
lona and arm al at Havana they made!
They w.re rnl-n-Inl follows, and it 13 said
they represented .:00, 000,000. Havana
cocicly'was wild with delight. Every man
was j, rich family 's or a titled family's
con. .Nearly everj man had his own vslet.
Thlr uniforms and accoutrements fur
nished at their own cost were dazzling in
goll and lace. A month of the wildest
Eocial debauchery followed their arrival.
Fetes, baUs, receptions, bullfights, carni
val?, welcomed them on every hand. At
last they came out here over beyond the
calzada there, near the Guinea railway
and went into camp. Instantly this cal
aada, all the way back to Havana, was
tranrformed into another Pasco do Tacon,
thronged with tho equipages of the aris
tocracy roiling to und from the brilliant
am p. Tho magnificence of the city's so
cial paretics was simply transferred there.
"O-ie uiglit a great fete had been given
at the encampment, more brilliant and
gorgocus thi-a anything that had preceded
it. Just licfore midnight, when the fes
tivities wero at their height, the com
mander of the resplendent troop, rn re
pair" 4 to Ins headquarters te-it, found
tli" f Jowing note pinned upon a diminu
tive in urgent flag surmounting a gor
gcius iwramid of flowers, tho gift that
dry c f :o:ne beautiful Habanas:
" 'Afi.r your other guests arc gono we
will visit you. Co us the honor to receive
us rending: Washington Kyax.'
"Tills was the hero from Chicago who
gavs his life for Cuba, whose real great
n3 "is people tip there never recognize,
and fir whoso memory they have only
made one daub of a portrait.
'Iie mirive created the greatest mirth
and hilarity. The camp and its guests
were wild with mirth and. delight over the
grim wit of the crazy writer and his pre
tentious message. They drank toasts to
him; sung mock praises of his valor; tho
ban is blared ferociously in his honor untd
the email hours had conio and ail tho city
U2t3 liad gone.
I VDOW3 OP A STAKLESS aGIIT.
"Then a hush came upon the splendid
camp, and wiie and sleep wrought silence
unl.r the shrdows of a starless night.
"It might have been the restless wind
aoughing through the dark canyons, but
the commander could not sleep. He read
an 1 re-rad the daring message until the
lit U insurgent flag grew ,und glamoured
into an awful menace. Surely tnere must
be a great storm coming on. Surely it
mu-tle sweep Jig out of the night upon
the cmp frrm c erywfcere. Sarely
"But the storm was there! and it was
wir -e 1 death.

in the elarj of the tiickesring camp lire it

strode through to the heart of some

"A half hour and all was over. The

"Tho morning came, briiiging the most
