"is more than kinship for the reason
that no one is responsible for kinship,

History shows no parallel to the
present European situation. There
are six great nations armed to the
teeth, and each one watching the
slightest move made by the others.
None of them wants war, but all are
ready. They are bosom friends, but
one and all suspect treachery. Hence
the system of vows and protests and
nicely balanced attentions. It is a
grim satire on civilization that mil.
lions Of armed men are thought nee.
essary to keep the peace, and that
war is only to be averted when every
body is afraid Of his neighbor.

PIANO RECITAL.

Last evening Miss Annie Louis Perrin
a pupil of Mrs. Hermann Kotzschmar
gave piano recital at the Kotzschmar
Piano school, which was most thorough
ly enjoyed by the large, and critical audi
ence present. A number of teachers and
members of the RossIni club expressed
their enjoyment and surprise that a child
of thirteen after hardly three years of in
struction could have acquired not only SO
fine teohuic but play with SO much ex-
preston, and abandon. The scales were
played evenly not only at 736 notes a
minute, but MIR. Kotzschmar set the
metronome at 208, and without slip,
Miss Louise repeated them at velocity
of 1872 notes minute, which drew from
the audience most enthusiastic applause.
A beautiful bunch of pinks were pre-
sented the young pianist. by her teacher,
Mrs. Knowles of the Butler school. In
every way the recital reflected the highest
credit on pupil and teacher. MIR. Frank
H. Pierce whose beautiful voice never
sounded to better advantage than in his
three charming selections, was most
warmly received and greatly added to the
evenings enjoyment.
Miss Perrin was kindly assisted by Mr..
f. H. Pierce. basso.

courageous, and made three or four sue
cessful flibustering expeditions to Cuba,
carrying arms and munitions of war to
the Cubans under great difficulties. He
was great believer in the justice of the
Cuban cause and predicted before the
Maine disaster that Cuba would be free
inside of six months.
At the time of his death in Havana,
Captain Howes was commander of the
fine bark Maryland, which carried one OF
the first cargoes into Havana since the
closing of that port by the war.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1898-10-08

Since that date nothing has been heard
from Captain Howes by his Portland
friends.
Captain Howes lived in Woodfords last
January. He is married and has ons
young child. He is we'll known in this
city having sailed out of this port for
many years and having commanded in
the last few years many fine ships out of
Boston.
In January, 1896, while in command OF
the three masted schooner Leander v.
Beebe of Greenport. N. Y. Captain
Howes picked up Gen. Calixto Garcia
now commander of the Cuban army. his
son and seventy.two men of the i'll fated
j. w. Hawkins flibustering expedition.
In the early morning of January ~ the
BeeLe discovered the steamer off the
Jersey coast flying signal of distress and
headed for her. AS the schooner got
nearer the steamer she found that the
sohooners Helen NJ. Benedict and the
Alicia 3. Crosby, Capt. Bunker Of Port
land, were also near the distressed vessel
The wind was blowing gale from the
northwest and the sea was very rough,
but the steamer was sinking rapidly and
this forced the men on board of her to
take to their boats. Z Five boats crowded
with men were launched and made for
the schooners. Every wave broke clear
over them and il seemed doubtful If any
of them would be rescued. After very
skilfully manoeuvering his vessel Captain
Howes succeeded in picking up three
boats out of the five containing Gen.
Garcia, his son and seventy-two n.en.
The Benedict got the fourth boat while
tho fifth boat was capsized alongside OF
the Crosby and ton men drowned. These
were the only men lost out of the 100 men
ON the j. w. Hawkins.
This began the acquaintance of Captain
Howes and Gen. Garcia, which ripened
into fri endship and continued until the
