At CUBAN LEGATION
Offers of Sympathy and Help Ten
dered to Senior Quesedl
MANY VOLUNTEERS ENLIST
From Headquarters Comes Word
That Not Men but Arms and
Medicine Are Needed Most
hight Now.

Washington. Dec. i3.-The headauar-
ters OF the Cuban legation i'm this city
was the center of interest To a num-
bers OF callers to-day who had come TO
express to Senor Quesada their sorrow
al the death of General Maceo and To
orer sympathy and in some cases help
Tor the Cuban cause. These callers In
cluded number of congressman ana
two senators (whose names the Cuban
reporter declined to disclose). who told
him of their desire to see some action
by congress that would be of assistance
10 the insurgents.
Senator Quesada says he has received
during the past few days about so let,
ters, many of which came from persons
ald organizations offering tn send men
90 assist the Cubans in fighting for lib-
erty. Among the states and cities rep>
resented in these letters are Washing-
ton, Wyoming, Kansas indianapolis,
Buffalo. Evansville, Ind, and Water-
barry. Conn. Responsive In these let
tcrs Mr.. Cuesada authorizes his former
statement that the Cubans have
enough men and leaders tn gain the
cause for which they are lighting. They
can avail themselves of $4,000 men and
more il necessary. but what they need
is arms and ammunition and medicine
for the sick and wounded. He says Of
fers of assistance from abroad have
been received.
The Paris agent of the juntr says not
only the Cubans but the French peo-
pie. after hearing of the assassination
and death of Maceo, are collecting alt
they can to send an expedition To he
called the Expedition Of General Ma
Geo To Cuba. MIR. Quesada states that
from San Domingo and Mexico also
came assurances of contributions to
the cause. while the workingmen and
merchants of Tampa, Fla, say they
will give not only 10 per cent. of their
earnings weekly, but will work three
Sundays in every month in order to
give their wages To free Cuba. The
agent at Jacksonville, Fla, wires that
the people can be counted on for 100
rifles.
There was no Information received at
the headquarters to-day other Than a
telegram from President Estrada
Palma of the Cuban iunta, which at
tributed Maceo's death 10 assassina-
tion by plot arranged between Ahu-
mada and Dr. Zcrtucha. which was
published to-day. The circumstantiai
accounts of Maceo's death now con-
vince the leaders there is little doubt
that he has been killed, but they reas>
sert their belief this will not interfere
with the success of the Cuban army.

ABOUT VIOLETS.

'HERE are said to he nearly two hun
dred species of the violet known
and one hundred grown almost at
our doors. OF all these. however 4
certain bloom found at the foot of
the Alps is accounted to be the most fra
grant.
The largest violets found in the world
are those al Nice and Cannes. where there
are miles of these simple flowers grown
for perfume. As the violets need shade for
growing. they form extra crops in flower
farms. and after the first year are of little
or no expense to the grower.
The woman in business will find nothing
more agreeable nor remmerative than vio-
let farming. according to the word of a
man of wide experience in the business
world. As a matter of fact this line of
work is being widely taken up by women
aud with unwOnted success.
With the building of the hothouse. the
services of an experienced gardener the
first year, and the means and ability to
patiently await the initial crop. monetary
responsibility. at least. is about an end.
For after the first coming the violets in
crease thereafter an hundred fold with very
little care and temperature of only go
degrees. and there is always grasping
demand for them.
