The Spanish-American War: our special artist in Cuba - a halt in the Cuban Wilderness, 1898. 'Mr. Scovell, Special Correspondent of the "New York World," and Mr. H. C. Seppings Wright, Special Artist of "The Illustrated London News," on their march with Despatches to General Gomez, the Cuban Insurgent leader. The sketches of Mr. H. C. Seppings Wright further illustrate his memorable attempt, made with Mr. Scovell, of the New York World, to communicate with General Gomez. The discomforts and relaxations of the adventurous journey are humorously handled, the plunging through interminable swamps, rough camping- grounds where mosquitoes did most annoy, short rations, and the lighter enjoyments of camp after the travellers were discovered by the Cuban Antonio of Major Smith's party. Major Smith, whom rumour had slain, they found very lively indeed. He gave them the heartiest of welcomes.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
