BANQUET OF THE JUNrA


me Local Cuban sympathIzers Por,o.,,
OF l3 Course Dinner at uote, Rr.,-
tIehoro--El"bOrSte Arrangements and
Fost-PrSndial Exercises.
Inc Junta, the organization of ~ IN.
pan sympathizers who had their snnon,or
rendezvous on the northeast shore ~ SIT
Iord lake, held their first winter re,pion
ana banquet at Hotel Brattleboro Satnr-
Jay evening. The waves of emotion then
set In motion may not have found on on
swering pulsation in the hearts of Come
and his followers in their mountain fastI
ness In Cuba, but the festivities were COR
tSlnly all Colour de rose" to the nartici-
pants, who use nothing but superlatives IN
their attempted descriptions.
A special dining room on the secopd
floor had been prepared for the dinner
and as the banqueters entered thew were
attracted first to an examination ~ Tho
centre piece of the table. a miniature lalre
with surroundings of foliage and flowers
Two yachts were upon the surface of The
lake. The figure of the commodore stood
out boldly, and upon the crafts were
Brownie figures representing each man
Der of the Junta. The JHnta's Cnban
flag was displayed prominently in the
room.
The "Charters of the Banouet' were
unique and elaborate. The cover bore a
painting of the United States and Cuban
nags crossed-the handiwork of the wife
OF the commodore A farce bill of fare
had been prepared which scintillated with
illusions pertaining to life and incidents
at The Trocha. Another page contained
the List of Heroes" with a humorous
reference beneath the name of each one.
Hotel Brattleboro has won a reputation
for game suppers under Mr.. Turner's man
agement, but this was increased by the
variety and excellence of the dishes and
the manner in which they were served ON
this occasion. There were IL full courses.
Bsatteboro is fortunate in having a land
lord who can arrange such spread, and
the secret of MIR. Turner's success in this
respect is that he gives personal attention
to every detail.
After the repast the Commodore called
TO order, and the postprandial exercises
began, each man being called upon for a
response. Several of the toasts were of a
humorous nature, while others touched
upon patriotism and the ties of fellowship
formed through such organizations as the
Junta
The speaking was interspersed with sing
ing in which all joined. The financial re-
port was approved for the past season .
The old officers were reelected. as follows
Commodore, c. X. Crosby; purser, F. b.
Putnam; first steward, d. G. O'Neil :
second steward, l.. Fl. Henkel color ser
geant, j. r. Tones.
The party broke up after congratulations
to all who, had part in its arrangements.
There was unanimous expression in favor
of having club house at Spofford lake
next summer, and of making the Junta
permanent organization.

The Whole Garrison OF Consolation Del
Sur Put to Death.
The sensation caused by the news Of the
capture OF Victoria de las Tunas, Cuba, by
General Garcia, the insurgent leader, was
not over yet in Havana when another re-
port came which made the loyalist Span
iards in the capital shiver. The important
town Of Consolation del Sur, in Pinar del
Rio province, was attacked three days ago
by the insurgents, and the whole gar
rison, composed Of 200 volunteers
from Havana, slain by the revolu-
tionists. As soon as the terrible work was
done the insurgents left the town. A strong
Spanish column which arrived some hours
afterward buried the bodies Of the volun-
teers. The insurgents did not do much
damage to the town, but destroyed great
tobacco plantation In the neighborhood and
took away oil the cattle.
The garrison Of Consolation del Sur had
oeen marked for death by the insurgents
Tor long time. They were considered de-
serters from the Cuban army, most OF them
being native Cubans, who got good pay
from General Weyler and were especially.
employed because of their knowledge OF
the country as scouts for the Spanish guer.
rlllas In ;raiding the Cuban hospitals all
around that neighborhood. The town was
taken by storm, the sudden attack OF the
insurgents surprising the garrison, which
made but little resistance.

Half an hour later the Queen received.
General Steward L. Woodford, the new
Minister, who simply read the letter or
President Mckinley appointing him the
American representative to Spain. The
chief paragraph ofthis letter said;
"He General Woodford) Is informed OF
the relative interests Of both countries,
and OF our sincere desire to cultivate and
promote the friendship which has so long
existed. between both countries. He shall
constantly try to promote the interests and
prosperity Of both Governments, thus max
ing himself agreeable to Your Majesty
Both Mr.. Taylor and General Woodford
were received by the Queen Regent at the
Palace Of Miramar, where she and her
court have been spending the summer.
During Mr.. Taylor's visit to the Queen
Her Majesty carried on friendly converse
tion with him regarding the United States
and ex-President Cleveland, even saying
that she hoped some day to visit the United
States. When Mr.. Taylor was taking his
leave Her Majesty said, touchingly:
"Do, pray, befriend Spain when you go
back to America"
Mr.. Taylor bowed low and replied: 81
will do so as far as my conscience permits. "
Mr.. Taylor's departure Is personally re-
gretted even in the official world, to which
he frequently had to convey unpalatable
communications.
