When the mail steamer Washburn
arrived last Saturday afternoon, depu-
taton of the leading Cubans of our city
with carriages, were at the wharf waiting
to receive Mrs. Bonachea and her children,
the family of the distinguished General
who sacrificed his life for Cuba ZiJre.
On landing they were conducted to the
carriages, and driven to the residence of
Mr.. +. Fgueredo, where she will remain
as his guest until her residence is fitted
up. The Cuban patriots offered her and
family home here with them, and have
provided house for her, and her four
children for the future. This is very
laudable in our Cuban friends, and we
hope the lady and her children will be
pleased with their new home in our island
city, where none will modest or make
them afraid.-Key West Key Of the
