PORTLAND GAZETTE.
TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 90, 1919.
BY vessel which left Havana on The
3lst ult. news is received Of the arrival at
that place of the new Governor of Cuba, Gen.
Lagigal and bis lady. Another reason is now
| assigned for Ferdnand's refusal to ratify the
Treaty and ;his ls,ihat the Marquis D'Yrujo's
instructions TO Don Onis, were gwen without
| the consent of the King and that consequently
| ne had been dismissed from the ministry and
imprisoned at Ceuta, and that Don Onis had
| ded 10 London.-These reports appear to US
| crude and unfounded, but we shall continue to
hear them until the whole subject shall be be-
| fore the public by the disclosure Of Mr.. For.
syth's dispatches. How improbable II is that
Mr.. Forsyth would still continue at Madrid, ia
his official capacity, if there was no prebab!-
| ty that the treaty would be ratified. We do
believe that it will be ratified, and that too,
before the approaching session Of Congress
shall be closed.
| Another report too, which has been circula-
ted and believed, proves to be totally unfoun-
ded. and that is OF 1000 Spanish troops having
been sent from Havana to Pensacola to Sc
cure the possession of that place nothing
is so foolish as TO give currency to such reports,
unless it be to believe them There seems to
be gathering of troops in the South and
West OF the U. S, upon The frontiers of Flor
da aud on the gulf of Mexico !; this may be
construed as the cauiionary step of prudent
government, or TO wish TO have force ready
to take possession of that province, when it
shall be evacuated, according to the provisions
of the treaty.
The Gov. of Cuba, has laid an additional
duty OF 81 l2 cents per barrel, on all -four
imported into that Island for the support OF
hospitals, on account OF the increasing sick
ness among the Spanish troops lately arrived
there from Spain.
An arrival at New York, from Liverpool,
brings English papers to the 9th ult Alder
man Bridges, The ministerial candidate, ha.
been elected LORD Mayor Of London, by a
large majority. Nothing particularly interes-
ting is received by this vessel.
Since our last, in which we gave a catalogue
OF five Governors OF different States, who had
TO record that of SIMON SNYDER, late Governor
OF Pennsylvania, who died on the 9Th inst. OF
violent typhus fever, aged 60 years and four
days, and THoMA. SIN LEE, the SECOND Gov
enOr Of Marylan aged 10. We repeat
their names in the order Of their decease.--
Gen. WrNDER, OF Maryland, JOHN LANGDoN,
OF New Hampshire, THOMAS JOHNSON, of Ma
ryland. WILLIAM RABUN, of Georgia, CALEB
STRONG, OF Massachusetts, SIMON SNYDER, OF
Pennsylvania, and Thomas SIM LEE, of Mary
land. The Duke Of Richmond o, Govern
or OF Canada, died IN September
This striking mortality Of distinguished men
10 SO short time IS worthy observation. To
these may be added President JOHNSON, late
Of Columbia College, and President APPLETON,
of bewdoin, men eninently distinguished in
their professions, and who alike leave behind
them. the never-fading lustre Of great and
good name. -
On Sunday afternoon the Rev. Mr. Nichols.
OF this town, delivered an admirable and i'm
pressive discourse, commemorative of the late
| death OF the Rev. President APPLETON. The
tqualties OF his mind and the distinguishes
| features OF his character were ably delineated
and just eulogium paid 10 his many public
J and private virtues. Ii would be peculiarly
gratifying 10 the friends Of the lamented Pres
ldent, and the alumni of the College, could !
copy OF this excellent sermon be procured for
the press.

umns, it will be seen, that meetings OF he
