THEY KNOW COL. FRED.
An Interesting Story of How the Report got
- Started That the Cuban Junta Didn't
Know Fred. Funston.

Soon after Fred. Funston landed in
New York the dispatches reported
that Gen. Estrada Palma, the head
of the Cuban Junta there, when asked
about him replied, "Col. Funston
l never heard of the gentleman" All
of Fred.'s friends who saw the dis
patch were surprised and indignant
and one OF them wrote to Gen. Palma
suggesting rather sharply that Col.
Funston was mighty good man for
him to get acquainted with. He also
wrote to Fred, telling him what he
had done, and received the following
reply:
"The way that MIR. Palma did not
know about me was that u couple OF
hours after the arrival of the steam
ship from Havana, wild-eyed young
ass of a reporter rushed into Mr..
Palma's Office and asked him If he
knew anybody by the name of Thurs
ton. OF course he did not. The same
reporter afterwards found me at my
room, got my name right, and then
telegraphed all over the country that
Mr.. Palma had never heard of me.
"When l was able to report at the
Office of the Junta | was mighty cor.
daily received and they proceeded
to do the right thing by me. How
ever, IL is just as well that you shook
the old man up bit. He is trifle
slow"
Col. Funston adds that Scribner's
and Harper's are after him hard to
write something for them, and he
shall probably attent to that before
he comes home.
