RHODE ISLAND
the annual Encsmpment of the Department

spector-General, and Aids. Department Com
mander VIM. Z. Stone presided. Commander
in-Chief Clarkson was received with rousing
cheers. Mayor Bachelor made an address of
welcome, to which Commander Stone replied
Commander Stone in his annual address made
q plea for the preservation of the sacred charac-
ter of Memorial Day. He also made plea for
the erection of a monument to the memory of
Past Department Commander Geo. 7. Cranston
On the subject of Cuba he said: "The persecu-
tions and sufferings of the Cubans are appalling,
almost beyond belief, and some OF the blame for
this must, i fear, rest on the otherwise fair
name of the United States, and blush to think
of it. Every true man must blush with shame
over the cowardly position We have so far oc.
cupied. This great American Republic has
duty to perform, and that, too, before irrepara-
BILE damage is done, to that devoted. liberty
loving people and that beautiful island of
Cuba"
