More, of tbe insurgent Cuban army has been spending the last few days | in Toronto where he was seen by @ Mail und Empire reporter. Lieut More, who is a native Cuban, has been serving under General Maceo with the insurgent army | during the past year ; but about a month and half ago, having been severely wound- | ed in the batile of Cacarajicacara, he left | on sick leave for New York, where his family are at present residing. At the time of the outbreak he was living with his family in the city of Havana, where be was engaged in medical practice. His father, who is the owner of large sugar plantations in the island, left with the other members of his family for New York but Lieut. More being filled with enthus- iasm for the cause of Cuban liberty, threw in his lot with the insurgents. With his own hand he appliedthe torch wo his father’s plantation, and set off for the mountains, where he joined with General Gomez in the great struggle for Cuban independence. In the course of conversation he expres-- ed his pleasure at being called upon to state his views on the situation in Cuba. “What we want,” he said, “is to let the true state of affairs there b2 known that the outside world can judge of what is go- ing on. Ever since General Weyler has taken command of the Spanish forces he has done everything he could to prevent the true facts becoming known, and at the same time he has lost no opportunity of disseminating false information. We are bound to triutaph, however, and we will not lay down our arms until Cuba is free.” “When the Cuban patriots first raised the standard of revolt they were only able to place in the field 8,00) men, few of whom were well armed. They were suc- cessful from the start, and with each vic- tory thousands flocked to their standard, while province afier province declared in their favour. . To-day they have an srmy of 60,000 men, al! well armed and equip- ped, and the whole Is'and, with the excep- tion of a few of the largest cities, isin their hands. “The greatest difficulty which we have to contend with at present,” said Lieuten- aot More, “it is not lack of men, but the need of more arm;. By the winter, how- ever, we nepe to have plenty of guns and ammunition. General Maceo will then join forces with Geuera! Gomez, and we will attack aud capture some of the large towns now in tie Lands of the Spanish. Genera! Roulaff ix now in New Yurx, where be is meeting with great success in raising money with wiich to buy arms, We have already succeeded in obtaining a number of Hotch- kiss and Gatl:ng guns, and we expect to have more in time fur the winter cam- paign.”’ Most of the rifles with which the in- surgents were armed had, he said been either taken from the Spanish or bought from the soldiers. The Spanish soldiers had received no pay for six or seven months, and many of them were eelling their rifles and ammunition for provisions. The ordinary price which the Crbiw peasants pay the Spanish fur their rifles was $5, and cartrides could be bought for five and ten cents a piece.

Campor, he ,said, fought them hard, but he fought them fairly, while Weyler not only stew al] Cubans taken prisoner, but even killed innocent women and children. The Cubans, he said, when they took a Spaniard prisoner, after taking away hie arms, Offered him his choice to join with them or to go back to his own army, and in case he decided in favor of the latter, he was conducted over the lines and let yo back. He described graphically the three battles of Colescio, Mal Fiempo, and Cacarajicacara, in which he had taken part, as well as mavy ekirmishes in which be had been engaged. “The Spanish are trying to spread the report that we are discouraged,” said the lieutenant, “and that we are quarre’ling amongst ourselves, but this is not true. Gomez has accomplished everything he said Le would, and is it likely that a peo- ple who fought for ten long years,from i868 until 1878, without giving in, are likely to do so now, when they see complete victory before them? Spain is too poor to keep up the struggle much longer, and we are growing stronger every day. The Spaniards are dying in large numbers daily from the yellow fever, aud are becomi.g disheart- eved, while every day fresh recruits from the best families in Cuba are joining with a When asked as tothe reason why the Cubans were burning the cane fields and buildings, Lieutenant More replied that it was in order that the Spanish might find nothing left which they could seize. “We will des‘roy everything we own,” he said, “rather than run any chance of its falling into their hands.” One thivg which it may be of interest to you to know,” he said, “is that there | are a number of Cuban women fighting in the ranks, so you can see how determined and patriotic we all are.” When asked as to his present intentions, Lieutenant More said that he had ridden to Toronto on his wheel, and that he would leave here to-day and ride to Montreal, whence he would proceed on his wheel to New York. It was quite probable, he eaid, that he would go back to Cuba in October in one of the expeditions whieh will be setting out in the fall. BORN.

ANOTHER OLD LDEA EXPLODED, The old fashioned idea that to keep warm one had to be loaded with a succes- sion of garments till the weight of them wasa burden and one felt too bulky to move, has been exploded. The age of common sense and comfort has arrived, when a man van adapt his clothing to suit all weather without swathing himself like amummy. Fidre Chamois, the inter- lining. which makes this possible, has gained its great popularity because it is an ab-olute non-conductor of heat and cold. No breath of cold or frosty wind can pene- trate it from without, neither cap the natural heaté of the body escape through it, and it is so light that clothing may be interlined with it, all through, without its adding any perceptible weight.
