242 Marching with Gomez
menta goes in the centre, and there are forty troopers
for the rear-guard. The flag of Cuba is blue, white,
and red."
When the pupil is able to read the above exercise,
he is prepared to dig deeper into literature, as : —
" Let us go to the camp and you will see how
many soldiers there are. There is a sergeant with
an advance guard to give warning when the enemy
approaches with volleys of shot. Peter is acting as
sentinel."
" The people are going to the coast. An expedition has arrived, and they are going to receive the
supplies. The Cubans abroad are sending many
arms. From Key West they have sent a big cannon. Long live free Cuba ! "
" John and Peter are very good friends. They
come home together from school and they never
quarrel. They are picking mangoes for themselves and their little sisters. How delicious are
the mangoes ! In Cuba there are many delicious
fruits."
To complete the work, there is a study in numerals, an explanation of all the simpler terms of
geography, and a topographical study of Cuba, with
a list of its principal cities and the provinces into
which the Provisional Government has divided it.1
1 Journalism flourishes in Cuba Libre, manifesting itself in little pink or green
bi-weekly and monthly newspapers that one finds everywhere in the field.
There are four in all, the largest of which, El Cubano Libre, I reproduce (one-
third actual size) on page 243. They are struck off in editions of a hundred or
so by secret presses in the forests or mountain fastnesses of Camaguey and Oriente,
Las Villas and Pinar del Rio. They contain news of successful engagements and
Spanish losses, letters of encouragement from New York Cubans, and Government
edicts.
It is tardy news brought to the editors by courier, laboriously printed on paper
