they had been sent to them after they had
lowered their flags. Several Spanish ships
were shot to pieces for this offense.

iSoR MANY years past it has been

tice. Things appear TO be different
this year. Candidates Koonsz aud

volunteers who are so terrified at the
prospect Of meeting the American sol

are believed to have been Weyler's
friends, and Weyier was popular among
the very element which now threatens
to funk when the American soldiers
