NATIONS DEAD
In POTTER'S FIELD

Key West. May 9.-In the outskirts OF the
town. whsre the small Spanish cottages
cluster silent and sunburned along the
narrow street, is the city cemetery OF Key
West. Near the main entrance, which Is
guarded by creaking old wooden gate. one
sees group Of newly made graves. They
are i'm the Potter's field-the part OF the bury
ing ground set apart for the pauper dead.
Those are the graves Of the heroes who lost
their lives in the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor on the night OF February Is. There
are "a OF them unmarked.
Above each mound of gistening white lime
stone soil q small American flag droops In the
fercs sun that beats necessarily down upon
the island. The flags are faded and fiayed.
On the centre OF each mound is small glass
goble which still holds The discolored and
withered stems Of flowers.
'sThey were put there Ivy lady from Phil
adelphia." said the old sexton, 'put don't
know who she WAS
And these the faded little flags end the
withered stems OF flowers, are all that mark
the resting place or the heroes Of whom the
civilized world has been talking since the
fatal night, nearly three months ago.
There is nothing else to tell the stranger
who passes through tho Potter's field where
the heroes of the Maine are sleeping.

were dislodged by the troops they mount
