California. The nearest approach to
rural districts are open lots or pastures
where herds of goats Craze on what seems
to be chiefly cactus plants. When ! ex-
pressed some surprise about the prickly-
pear for grazing purposes little black
boy said reassuringly: "Oh, goat he eat
anything"
Not only does the Key West goat eat
anything" but he thrivesl on the paStur-
age and is sleek little creature, who
looks better fed than the horses and
mules subsisting on imported hay and
grain.
Key West people are essentially a
people of faith; they do not reason on
lines of cause and effect; therefore, are
not concerned about street cleaning or
other sanitary measures. They know the
natural advantages of their little island,
and have entire faith in sea breezeS as
disinfectant, believing the salt air blow
ing always around them will maintain the
health of the town without effort or pre-
caution on their part. They will tell you
that all the ills flesh is heir to are brought

THE NATIONAL TRBuNE WASHINGTON D. c. THURSDAY

Cuban women are intensely patriotic.
There is no sacrifice they will not make
and checrfully endure in any hardships
for Cuba Libre. 1t is as nothing that
women living in ease and luxury two
years ago are now without shoes on their
feet 20 out after nightfall because they
cannot face the day in their tatters, and
are absolutely dependent for the food that
keeps them alive on the charity OF the
United States 1t is not alone the recon
centrado who has been starved out of all
pride that suffers most. 1t is the man OF
woman of the better class reduced to
want, and begging for bread. And yet
there are no complaints. Women and
young girls work for Cuba Libre. Babies
in arms carry tiny Cuban flags. 1t is the
spirit everywhere.
One of the most actively patriotic young
girls in Key West-a beautiful Cuban-ls
the daughter of the pastor of the Cuban
Protestant Mission Church. The Reverend
Doctor Denlofen, with his family, lived in
Havana until safety was no longer GER
tain, because of his sympathy with the
Cubans. He brought his family to Key
West where he has charge OF the Protest
ant Mission, and has opened charity
school in connection with his church
work. Julia DenlOfen is 16, of purely
Spanish type, with face like a picture.
She assists her father in the school.
teaching English and music to little boys
and girls, some of whom are too poor to
buy books and too proud to go barefoot,
SO the Pastor tries to furnish both books
and shoes. To Julia Denlofen Cuba
Libre is the incentive of her daily life.
1--WE do not expect to make musicians
of our pupils, the Pastors daughter said;
but we bought an old piano for $50, so we
could teach them patriotic songs as well
as hymns. They know all about Cuba.
Every day they pray for Cuba Libre.'
At word from their young teacher the
so little girls and boys dropped on their
knees and repeated in Spanish their
patriotic plea for Cuba Libre, followed by
the Lords prayer. Without wealth OF

star, and had my photograph taken, and
sent it to him. You see, it would help him
to be true, and brave, and hopeful"
OF such is the inspiration given by
Gu ban girls to their ragged barefoot in
surgent sweethearts, fighting for the in
dependence of Cuba. In the Pastors
house are dozens of photographs of young
Cubans in the field-young men of spen-
did physique and education whose faces
show the proud CastiIIian blood of Spain
Hundreds of this class have gone from
the best families of Havana. and to-day
| are in the ragged, barefoot army of Maxine
| Gomez; and it is this class of men who
will build up the free Republic of Cuba
Soon after the fleet anchored in Key
West Harbor, the Convent of Mary I'm
maculate, Sisters OF the Holy Name, was
offered to the Government for a hospital
| The Mother Superior called in person
and through Capt. Forsyth, commandant
J OF the naval station, made the offer to
Admiral Sampson, and at the same time
rendered the services OF the sisters as
nurses. The offer was accepted, and the
work has recently been completed
which has transformed the convent into
military hospital, and the % sisters have
been placed on the rolls of the Govern
ment as nurses. 1t is by far the best
location, and most attractive spot in Key
West.
The convent building is a picturesque
structure of stone, with broad piazzas on
every side, and surrounded by large
beautiful grounds. The rooms are airy,
and the whole first floor may be thrown
into one ward the entire length of the
building, or by folding partitions divided
into separate wards. The thick walls
and thorough ventilation make it exceed
ingly comfortable even in the hottest
days.
For many years the Sisters of the Holy
Name conducted a fiOurishing school, and
when war preparations began they had 300
pupils. But, while men in business had
no fear for themselves, they sent their
! families North for greater security, and
soon the schoolrooms at the Convent were
deserted. The Mother Superior and
sisters are comparatively young women
few apparently above 80, and a number
look not over 20. They are charming

! and sunny in manner, and personally at

lovely daughter are nevertheless carrying
on a great work. With the Bible and the
Cuban flag they teach religion and love OF

ing, and in the adjoining ground is the
Pastors house-the first Cuban Protestant
parsonage ever built. On the rear of the
house is the schoolroom.

said the young teacher. I'VE have $50
members in our little church. All Gu
bans are born Roman Catholics, you
know; but in this war Cuban men have
left their church. 1t is not just the war
1t is the cruelty of Spain in the starving
of our people, and so much cruelty that
drives Cubans from the church. They do
not go to church at all, so my father per-
suades them to come to us. We found it
so in Havana, and it is so here.

California Ladies Remember the Maine.

Mrs. Bell Ingram, President, Columbia
Circle, "a, Ladies of the GAR, Los An
geles CAL, writes: This Circle, on Me-
mortal Day, erected a monument to the
victims of the Maine. The monument
was five and a half feet high. resting on
base four feet square and one foot
high, artistically draped in our National
cOlOrs, and surmounted by beauti-
full silk flag. In front of the monument
was the battleship Maine made of red,
white and blue flowers, and flowers in
other handsome designs.
Ten girls and 10 boys, all in sailor
clothes, each carried a flag and floral
piece. The children were led by a drum
mer-bOy in complete sailor suit, followed
by Mrs Nellie Baldwin as Goddess of Lib
erty, dressed in a full fiag-suit, with crown
of Liberty, at her side little boy and girl
attendant.
The exercises were opened by singing
America; then the children stepped to
the monument in couples, each with a
few well-chosen words, always ending
with "Remem Der the Maine," depositing
their offering.

tractive. All have the sweet serenity in
their faces that comes only with content
and good deeds. Though not strictly in
practical experience in epidemics; doing
good service a few years ago during the
yellow fever at Key West. When it was
remarked that as Catholics their
sympathies would naturally be with the
Catholic country OF Spain the Mother
Superior said:
But we are Americans, and our duty is
to our country. We deplore war, and wish
it might have been averted. But if il
must be, then our services are at the
command of the Government of the
United States"
Besides the Convent, two large wooden
buildings, formerly cigar factories, have
been taken by the Government for hospital
purposes. Altogether there are now ready
at Key West hospital accommodations
with 500 beds.
