only 5000 people ali told. But Spain has
so little left of the huge colonial empire
she possessed 500 years ago that every
remnant is of importance to her. More

in Cuba are inadequate. What VIII Spain

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Boston Herald: Probably the premiums
realized on the sale OF the boxes at the
coming New York horse show would
have been larger had the sale been held
a week later. All the same, $4,000 is a
very pretty bonus. While it is not so
large as in previous years, it is a reason
able figure. We observe with due emo
ton that a Boston gentleman paid next
to the highest price for his box.

\ False RunOr.

We wish to announce TO our readers
that the rumor which spread very rap
idly through our city Thursday evening
to the effect that Mr.. Wilmer Robert
son, nephew of Mr.. Neil Smith, was
dead, has not been confirmed. The last
letter from Portland Oregon, where he
has been for several months with an
aunt, Mrs. Hunter, stated that he was
very low, consequently the news Of his
death at any time will not be as great
shock to his relatives here as it would
have been had they not received in
formal ton from week to week of his
condition. But while there is life there
is hope, and we are indeed glad that We
are not called upon today to announce
the death of this popular young man.
His brother Edward is with him and all
that Kind and loving friends can do Is
beng done for his comfort.
