At the foot of a life-size painting of "Old Hickory" is folded his military coat of blue, with brass buttons, lace trim- mings, high collar and gold epaulettes. The garment was worn by him at the battle of New Orleans, January S, 1813, when with 2,I'D American militia he over- came the British troops of seasoned regu- lars 5,000 strong.

This wad the tirst intimation .n Cams-guey that war was on between Spain andthe United States. and it increased theardor and fighting spirits of the insur-gents to such ar. extent that they playedsad havoc with the Bj*anlsh column, kill-ing more than w*) of its mearibers In thecourse of the march. Everywhere m th«»island the *«am'- tactics have been em-ployed by Spain.

Th«? Cubans who are now in the country

districts are not likely to starve to death.They can find some kind* of fruit grow-ing wild at most any season. and there:» «:11 meat to be had.

Vegetables, plir.tains andsw»*i potatoes are to be found only inplaces which, like the Cubitas country,

have suffered but little from the encroach-ments of either friends or foes.

Living on Toagk Beef.

After crossing the Cubltas mountains

the diet consisted inclusively of meat.Only at intervals were sweet potatoes oryucca to be had. For five days there wasnothing to eat but beef, and such beef?-the ta.<»k of chewtnit it made our Jawsache There was be*-f for breakfast andbeef for dinner (there is no .supper inCuba), unt!! the very sight of cattle by

the roadside made us turn away !n dis-gust Even in the camp of the provisionalgovernment, which had Just removed fromits headquarters at Sebastobal, there was

no relief from thla steady diet of "carnosolo." Two or three slices of yucca ap-peared at a meal to be shared perhapsby a party of ten. First in order on thebill of fare at Secretary of State Morenod» hi For re's table came beef soup: nextwas served btref picadlllo (mincem-at friedIn beef fatt; then came beefsteak, afterwhich came a dish of jayaeo (boiled b<=efwith a few strangling pieces of yuccafloating Hi the gravy). At the conclusion,

the Information wan politely imparled thatthere was for dessert more of any kindof bee? any on* might wish. On t»e occa-sion of our last visit to President Masohe sent nine leagues (twenty-seven miles)

to secure two »ftiarts of red beans, in orderto give us a feast on our departuie forthe states.

It is only fair to say that the v residentand all the members of his cabinet haveabjured such luxuries for themselves.What they have to eat the dbt of thepoorest private, and the" insurgents oneand all seem to be used to it.

Mtrrngth of luaarwrnta.There has been much misinformation as

by him when ho gave up his commissionas commander-in-chief of the army, atAnnapolis in 1783. It consists of a bigshad-belly coat of bin* broadcloth, lined!and trimm?d with soft buckskin and orna-mented with broad, fl.it brass buttons;buckskin waistcoat and breeches. The >ia<*

of the garments (which are in a state ofexcellent preservation) testify to the bigstature of the Father of his Country andsugi;. st that, he had an eye to a line ap-pearance in ids dress.

a collection of mementoes of Gen. Jack-son. At the foot of a life-size painting of"Old Hickory" is folded his military coatof blue, with brass buttons, lace trim-mings, high collar and gold epaulettes.The garment was worn by him at thebattle of New Orleans, January S, 1813,when with 2,I'D American militia he over-came the British troops of seasoned regu-lars 5,000 strong. Below the coat is hiscase of pistols, looking strong and re.idyas if they had been rubbed and oiled dailysince Jackson last tired therm at the foe.Th y are stout flint-locks of large boreand substantial grip, such a* one might

fancy that a warrior of Jackson's tem-perament would select.

Close at hand are two small flint-loekpistols takm from the British at NewOrleans. If the difference in size betweenthe British pistols and those of 1> n. Jaek-son obtained as to all she other weaponsused by the British and th? Americans,it is .sm.ui wonder that Jackson defeatedthe r«tl-i.-oats.

WASHINGTON*,July l*.-One

government department

which is watching tne oper-ations against Spain withinterest, in the hope of

securing some advantage from itsresults, is the National Museum.The museum already contains a large andinteresting collection of trophies and relicswon in former conflicts, but there is stillroom for a compartment to be dc-voted to

th«» war of I*3B shoula results justify it.One of the interesting relics now in the

i Major Anierwn *i« ?or?M to haul ttt down. it is the first I'n oa flag

1 raised by eitiaens of any of she recedingstates after the firing: or. Sumter. It was

j raised in New Orleans after the <Ml'lliy-

I tion of that city by Gen. Butler.} H*re also may he setn the pair of fleid| glasses used by <>es. Grant in the civil

war. They are well worn, the r. g» -* ofj the larger end being: frayed by :*r«ijuent

removal from their case. scenesj those glasses have looked on. \\ jid thati they might have been possessed of kioeto-! scopic powers! There ;re other relics of' Grant, notably his shoulder straps withj four stars. No such are worn now. Theyj are the straps of a fuil g»:i«ral. The of-' rice is two grades above that held by Gen.

Miles, and is now extinct. Not a relicthe war, but none the leas interesting, is« beautiful sword presented to Gon. Grant.The Sabe! informs one that it is ' .1 Toledobiade, with guard of steel. Ivory grip, steel

! svabbard. ornamented in itold and enamel,

j mide in Tokdo and presentel to Gen.Grant in IK3 by the Spanish repubik'."

l.int olu'M Old Sail.In another ease are the uniform, sword

and other regalia worn by Gen. Hancock.

"The Superb." And not far away, unos-tentatious as was their owner m ass lifetirpe. lies the old office suit worn >»v Pres-ident Lincoln to the day of his death. Itis black; the buttons are well worn, pir-ticularly around the edges, and so is thaback of the collar.

A few steps away is an illustration ofthe aptness of the phrase, "a s«»?hinghorizontal rain of bullets." It is the stumpof a tree three feet in diameter, cut offfive feet above the ground by bullets firedduring the battlet of Spottsylvania court-house. It stood inside the Confederate in-trenchments, near the courthouse, and wascut down by musket ball* during the at-

Qen. Washington's Camp Chest.tempt to recapture the works previouslycurrie*<l by the Second army corpus of thoarmy of the Potomac.

There are many other relics of theAmerlc&a wars at the museum, but thosementioned ar« perhaps the most notable.There was formerly a museum of warrelk's in the oil war department building,now occupied by a branch of the treasurydepartment. Two sets of cannon at onetime belonging to that museum are nowexposed to public view. One is at themain entrance of the war, state and navybuilding, and consists of two smooth-borecannon brought to this country by Lafay-ette to bark and bite> for our freedom.The other set was brought from England
