Cuban City. ft - Says Our Soldiers are Continuosly Drunk and Disorderly. Says Cuban Children are : Being Con .'t&niitafed&t'Gener'obd Seeds. New York Sun, Jan. 12. Hour Si. C. C. Astwood, formerly United States con sul to San Domingo aodBOK mission ary of the A. M. E. church toCuba, is ini town. Mr. Astwood established the first Protestant church -upon - former Spanish territory, -having just organized a-Spanish Mi -IS. church at Santiago, and he ha eometo New York for the purpose of receivting inistructions from the missiicwiary board of his-church as to the further prosecution of his labors in Santiago. He has been in consultation with several of the bishopg! who are now iii this city, and be and they are elated over the prospect for the spread f Af rican' Methodism in Cuba. . The ex-consul general was born in the West Indies and speaks Spanish flu ently. He said yesterday: "I left here August 11 on the United States transport Yale, in. company with the Eighth Illinois colored regiment. On landing tin Santiago I was appalled at the scene. The awfulness of the af termath of war was still apparent. The frontage of the harbor and the confused streets reeking with filth tseemed like the slums of darkest America. The innumerable drinking saloons were filled with the rabble.' Soldiers intoxicated, armed and unarmed, white as well as black, filled the streets. The poor Cu bans, not a single one intoxicated, as I could observe, but half starving and diseased, begged for alms by the way. The sick, the maimed, the halt and the lame seemed to throng the thorough fares as they did dn the days of the Master. The dead house filled up daily and it wad heartrending .to witness the condition of the people. ' , "Profanity and intemperance are the greatest evils that our civilization is teaching fin Cuba. The poor Ittle Cuban boys and girls are being contaminated by the fearful condition of some of our men. Decent Cubans are horrified, and lived imprisoned within, their homes, leaving their countrymen to be judged by the rabble that mingles with our rabble. Generals Lawton and Wood are good commanders, but they seem ig norant of thes suroundtnge.' The reports coming 'to them from- their staff officers are conflicting- and the heavy military duties devolving upon them make it impossible for these two competent men to - be advised . of the real condition of affairs. They are being prejudiced against the Cubans and their ability to govern themselves by the element which favors the abaorption of this splendid island and the stamping out of independence. Means must be placed at the disposal of Governor Wood to;es- tabllsh a civil government in Santiago, manned, by the intelligent Cuban; ele ment. 'there, to organize the courts of justice, open up the schools" and let ed ucation, morality and justice take the place of license, immorality and profany' Ity. .We have led. the Way for a glorious future in the evangelization of Cuba, Other Protestant, denominations must soon follow."; CURE OF CONSUMPTION if. x ' I ? 1 .y 1 A At Dr. Preston, Specialist Invites lion to His Successful.
