autonomous government of Cuba. l have
received no official notice of such appoint
ment and in view of my open criticism
made in this city of the action OF Senior
Galvez and Senior Niontero. in accepting
such positions it would be inconsistent in
me to follow in their steps. Il must Id
remembered that I have never been count
ed among the revolutionists in Cuba, but
that l was welded TO the interests of
my native island as against the govern
ment of Spain herself. has always been
just as clearly understood, When the
peace of San Juan was signed ii became
evident that the old method of governing
Cuba was at an end. The people of Cuba
are of Spanish blood and naturally there
is that tradition of race which made many
of them feel kindly toward the old PENN
sular. These men deemed that it was pos
sible to be true TO. Cuba and loyal TO Spain
at the same time, and they organized the
autonomist party, whose purpose was the
preservation of Spanish connection and the
conservation of Cuban interests. In all
this we failed and the war was inevitable.
My views of the Cuban question will not
allow me to accept the offered place"

AN ORIGINAL ABOLlTiONISr.
Kew. DIR. Richard s. Rust IL One Who
Claims That Distinction.


Rev. DIR. Richard S. Rust Is one OF
the original abolitionists." Ever since
MS youth-and he has now reached old
age-he has been active for the welfare
OF the colored people of the land. Be
lore the civil war he worked for their
freedom. Since the war he has worked
TO increase their culture. All his life
long he has been connected with edu-
cational institutions for their especial
benefit He has made for himself an
imperishable record as an agent of civ
ilization. and his name will never be
forgotten by the freedmen of the Uni.
ted States. DR. Rust was born in New
England, where revolt against slavery
was indigenous. and there was never
any doubt about his willingness to DO
classed among the "black Republic
cans" or the greasy mechanics" or
whatever else the advocates Of the
greatest of national reforms were then
contemptuously called. Perhaps he
was never actually assaulted while
preaching and lecturing for emancipa-
ton, but over and over again he had
experiences violent enough to appnll
any but the most stout-hearted. Over
forty years ago he became president Of
the Freedman's College at Xenia, Ohio,
and while holding this position he had
much to do with the insertion Of the
clauses against slavery into the gen.
eral Methodist discipline. After the
war DR.. Rust was the father Of the
Methodist policy of extending schools
for freedmen all over the South, which
has resulted in about eighty institu-
tons that serve as lighthouses of
knowledge to the whole colored race.
For years he has gone up and down the
land lecturing and preaching in their
behalf, aud now, when too old to con-

While a well-to-do Partisan was re.
turning recently by train from Havre,
during the first hour his only fellow
passenger In the compartment was a
young man, who made himself very
agreeable. Then others got in. and
talk was general. Finally the Paris
ian dropped asleep. Presently the
young man, turning to the other pas

unfastened the strap by which n small
travelling bag was slung over the Shout

the next compartment mt the first stop.
and my uncle will wake up and think
he has been robbed. 1t will be fun to
see his face, and can watch through
the little glass In the partition. Don't
give 1t away"
The others grinned approximately,
and the young man presently slipped
out with the bag. Soon after the own.
err OF the bag woke up. He missed
his pouch from the strap, and jumped
up in great excitement, exclaiming,
"Ive been robbed"
The response from his fellow pas.
sengers was a roar Of laughter. This
added anger to the victims excite

the angry man that his bag was al
right; his nephew had it in the mex,

Snow bunting build their nests regular

their existence there has given rise to a
