Cuba

By E. W. SNYDER

MARIANAO.—After a pleasant voyage of three and one-half days, we reached Havana. We were met by Brother Moore, whose home has been our headquarters since our arrival. We found him of good courage, and glad that something is to be done for this field. Both he and Brother Dart have the book work in mind, but have not thought it advisable to undertake it until the Spanish books are available.

Everything is expensive here. Rents are so high that I do not know that we shall be able to afford anything but a shack. In Havana nothing is to be had four or five miles out. Not being able to build here, we may be obliged to go to some part of the interior.

Brethren Moore and Dart have done as much as possible with what has come into their hands. Their presence here near Havana will be appreciated by all who enter this field. Personally, we have no reason to be anything but of good courage.

Several experienced workers in Florida are expecting to come to this field as soon as we can depend on Spanish books. The brethren have corresponded with Brother Moore concerning the establishment of an industrial school on the island. Doubtless this will be done in time.

This evening I expect to leave for the east, where there are some to be baptized. We have become pretty well acquainted with Havana and its vicinity, and have also made a visit to Bahia, Honduras. E. W. SNYDER.
