Military Affairs. and by them favorably
reported. 1t was not until the closing
hours OF Congress that unanimous con-
sent was asked 10 call up the measure. \
single objection would have defeated the
request. None was made. This was the
more remarkable when it is remembered
that the river and harbor bill, in which
every mem ber was interested, and which
they were desirous to dispose Of, was be-
fore the House. The bill was read, the
House dispensed with the reading of the
report Of the committee, and the measure
passed in twenty-three minutes.
In the Senate equal consideration was
shown TO the measure. The sundry civil
appropriation bill was before that body,
when Senator Hawley OF Connecticut
ask ed that the park bill be taken up. 1t
was read and passed unanimously. The
Senate Clerk, General Arson u. Nc
Cook OF THE lighting McCooks," who

New YORK. Sept 16.-A special from
Bridgeport, Conn.,. says: Facts about
another outrage perpetrated on an Amer
lean citizen by the Spanish officials of
Havana. Cuba, have been made public
through letters received in this city by
Fred B. Taft, editor of the Herald. John
Repko, citizen of the United States,
was for eight years the proprietor of the
Grand Hotel Roma. The Spanish Gov
ernment, under preteXt OF some new
law, seized the hotel at midnight and
turned Mr.. Repko and his family out of
doors. His business he says, was worth
$50, 900 at the time. He will appeal to the
President of the United States to assist
him in getting redress. Repko is in
Florida but will come north in a short
time and lay the facts in the case before
the State Department..
Mrs. Repko, speaking of her husband
and the trouble with the Spanish officials
in Havana, said: My husband was born
in Buda- Pesth fortytwo years ago. He
LETT there when a lad and went to Spain,
where he remained until he was 2S years
old. He then came to New York, and a
year or two later ne opened a hotel at
Clifton, s. G. He made money there.
We married in this country.
My husband was in America Six
years. and became a full-hedged citizen.
II has his papers with him now. be
sold his hotels eight years ago. and We
went to Havana. Mr.. Kepko purchas ed
the Hotel Roma and the property on
which it stands six years ago. The land
on which the hotel kitchen is built is a
separate lot, which has been in litigation
great many years. Its ownership was
so long q matter of doubt that finally the
Spanish Government claimed it, and
charged nIy husband rent for it.
1.-The Government, however, did not
press its claim until after the outbreak Of
the Cuban rebellion, when they informed
my husband that he must pay $500 for it.
My husband would have paid the money
il he had been able, but he had not the
ready cash. This was due TO the failure
OF many of our Spanish guests to settle
their bills. Many OF them were Govern
ment officials and military men, who re-
ceived their pay only once month, and
seldom paid us what they owed for board.
It is contrary 10 Spanish law in CUBA for
a tel-keeper to eject a person for nom
payment OF bills, and we could do moth
ing but trust them. In consequence of
this state OF affairs Spanish officials all
told owe us $4,000 for board.
When the war broke out our Govern
mont guests left US and the hotel became
resort for Cuban insurgents. OF course,
that angered the Spaniards, who accused
us OF taxing an active part in the Cuban
cause. We were annoyed in every way
Spanish ingenuity could devise. and
finally an Immediate demand was made
for the $500 which the Government
claimed as rent for the hotel kitchen.
My husband was unable to pay the sum,
and at midnight the soldiers came to the
hotel and forced us to leave. They al
lowed us to take nothing. They seized
everything even my husbands clothes,
and turned US out in the street. My hus-
band went 10 Mr.. Williams, the Ameri-
can Consul, and explained the situation
to him, and Mr.. Williams procured
tickets for myself and household on the
steamer Yucatau."
