De LA RIGA GOING HOME
Spanish Minister TO Japan Re-
lieved and On His Way
to Madrid.
Honored by the Emp ror of Japan.
"0ur Attitude In Cura Is Our
Historical Duty"

Don Jose de la Rica V Calvo, Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to Janan, who arrived on the Gaelic
Saturday night on his way to Spain, left
here yesterday afternoon for New York.
Mr.. de la Rica, for such is his name
Calvo being, according to the ancient
Spanish custom, simply the complimentary
addition of his mothers family name-has
been relieved at his own request from duty
il Japan in order that he might take some
other Government position, where his
wife and daughter, now in Madrid, might
be with him.
81 have been in Japan two terms" said
he yesterday in his apartments at the
Palace, first as secretary to the legation
and during the last year as Minister.
Last August, month after my arrival
in Japan, L signed the treaty entered into
by Japan and Spain in regard to the ISL
and of Formosa Both countries were
Yerv much interested in that island after
the war. The relations between Japan
and Spain are most friendly. AS an indi-
cation of that feeling the Emperor of
Japan conferred upon me shortly before
nv departure the Grand Cross of the Ris-
ing Sun, token that has been given to
some other Ministers Plenipotentiary be-
fore me.
my successor in Japan is Don Luis la
Barara, formerly Minister to Brazil. 1
was stationed at Montevideo, South Amer
lea. three years myself before / accepted
the mission to Japan.
81 am now at the disposal OF my Gov
eminent. Where / may be sent l do not
know, but l asked for place where my
family could be with me.
"CuDan relations" remarked the Minis
ter in response to query, II know little
about, as I have heard nothing for over
forty days. Our attitude in Cuba is our
historical duty. We received that island
from our ancestors; it came to us by the
discovery of Columbus. To defend and to
preserve it is to guard tradition and a
heritage. That is the opinion of every
true Spaniard
II think at the bottom many Ameri-
cans are of the same opinion as the Span
iards. l have sounded a great many
Americans in Japan, officers on your war
ships and others.
ut is war of races in Cuba. The ma
jority of the insurgents are negroes, with
out morality or breeding"
Don Jose is man about 40 years of age,
of medium height and slight build, and
wears full black beard.

HER sKILLFUL EVASION.

How a Captivating Partisan Actress
Escaped Testifying to Her Age.
A servant robbed Mile. Mars of her dia-
monds one evening while she was at the
theater. Arrested, he was put upon trial
and witnesses were summoned to hear tes-
timony of his guilt. Among these was
Mile. Mars. She was greatly ANNOYED at
this, as according to the rules of French
practice the witness after being sworn
gives his age.
Now, the age of Mile Mars was an i'm
penetrable mystery. The day of the trial
came. and she was put in the witness-b box,
every ear was bent toward her to catch
the age she would give as her own.
"Your manner" said the presiding Judge.
"Anne FRANCHISE Hippoiyte Mars"
what is your profession ?'
"An actress of the French Comedy"
What is your ageP'
"UmDty years.
"What?" inquired the presiding Judge,
leaning forward.
II have just told your Honor" replied
the actress, giving one of those irreslsti-
BILE smiles which won the most hostile
pit.
The Judge smiled in turn, and when he
asked, as he did Immediately, where do
you liver applause long prevented Mile.

LANDING NEWS IN BOTTLES.
The Service Captain Bartlett Rendered
to Cuban Patriots

The Service Captain Bartlett Rendered
to Cuban Patriots
An interesting story is furnished by
Captain G.. Bartlett OF the British bark
Iodine, laden with sugar, which was OBJ
tanned only through the courtesy of the
Cuban patriots, who control the output of
sugar from interior points in the islano.
Previous to the vessel leaving Philadel-
phia the Cuban women of that city
shipped large quantities of courtplaster,
liniment and medicine of all descriptions,
which were safely delivered at Cuban
camp five miles in the interior. Captain
Bartlett remained IN the Cuban camp for
four days.
He was able to deliver into the hands of
the Cubans valuable documents from the
Junta in New York, and in return has in
his possession equally valuable docu-
ments which he is to deliver to the
Cubans in New York.
The bark was anchored about two miles
off shore and Cuban swan off to the
vessel in the night with the documents
from the patriot camp sealed in bottles,
which were connected to his body by ropes
and towed astern. In the same manner
the documents from this country were
taken ashore by the swimmer.
A schooner bound 10 Cienfuegos' with
sugar from Trinidad, Cuba, for the United
States, and owned by the American Cen
trail Sugar Refinery, was sunk by the in
surgents at the mouth of the River Maeti,
so that the Spanish Government could not
collect any revenue from it. The Iodine's
cargo was allowed to be shipped to this
country through the courtesy of the patri-
OTIS, who permitted the American Central
Sugar Refinery to grind 1000 tons OF sugar.
In the camp visited by Captain Bartlett
there were about fifty cultivated and re-
fined ladies of Cuban society, who had en-
listed in the Cuban army with relatives
and friends. The patriots are well sup
are sadly in need of rifles, ammunition and
medicine. In all of the skirmishes wit
messed by Captain Bartlett the patriots had
by far the best of them.-New York Sun.

The San Francisco Road Clubs event
started at San Leandro at P. NJ. There
was a larger number OF riders in this race
than in any others, and George w. Ham

The following is the table:

The Bay City Wheelmen intended theirs
to be ten-mile race, but cut it down to
halt that distance, the roads being so poor.
The race started at San Leandro at IL

Kraft made best time, 1927, and T. E..
Barry with 2:15 handicap won first place,
keeping the lead from start to finish.

finish of the race.

HOW SERPENTs SLEEP.
One Peculiar Fact Is That They Never
Close Their Eyes.

One Peculiar Fact Is That They Never
Close Their Eyes.
One of the most curious facts with re.
gard to snakes is that their eyes are never
closed. Sleeping or waking. alive OF
dead, they are always wide-eyed. If we
take dead snake and examine it closely
we shall soon find the reason-there are
no eyelids. The eye is protected only by a
strong scale, which forms a part of the
epidermal envelope, and is cast off in q
piece with that every time the reptile
molts.
The eye-plate is as clear and transparent
as glass and allows the most perfect vision,
while at the same time Gas any close OBJ
server of the habits OF the snake can easily
discovery it is so hard and tough as per
fectly to protect the delicate organ within
from tnorns and twigs among which, in
fight from enemies or in pursuit of prey,
the reptile so often hurriediy glides.
