RdTper's Weekly presents picture to the
public in. which an old darkeyis seen endeayor-

little, missus, but de favor am delicious"
Spain burdens. the Cubaus with an outrage
GUS taxation, tightens closer and still closer
the yoke of seldom, sends mercenary leaders
to carry the incendiary torch, the sword and

Powers, but it seems that the task at last de-
wolves upon the American people, who viii

might require. Things are at present getting
