His Subsequent Career.

He was sent to Spain, wnere he was con-
fined in a fortress until peace was declared
in 1878. He then returned to the United
States and with Jose Marti he tried to re-
new the war, but Cuba then wanted to try
the home-rule propa ganda, and he failed to
enlist the people. He was again captured
and sent to Spain. He remained, teach
ing and supporting his family by his work
until the recent revolution was started. He
came II once to this country, and after the
Inflated Hawkins was wrecked off Long
Island he attempted to reach Cuba on the
Bermuda, but was arrested for filibustering
He was released on $1,000 bail, but he
jumped this bail. and in 4 final attempt
landed on The eastern coast of the island
with one of the largest expeditions that
ever reached Cuba. His career since in the
fight for freedom is familiar chapter in
contemporary history. OF Garcia Richard

sons, Catullus and Justo, were with him in

Navy Yards and Docks Needed.

From the New York Tribune.
While we are rejoicing in the number and
character of the warships now under con-
struction, II Will be well to pay especial
heed to the suggestions made by the chief
of the bureau of yards and docks. We are
in urgent need of larger navy yards and
of more and larger and better docks
Without them the splendid navy we are
acquiring will be sorely hampered and de-
prved of much of its efficiency.
