forgotten. As an Involuntary passenger
on the captains vessel Tom had visited
nearly every port In the world that was
worth while, and his head Is full of sailor
lore, his tongue seems made to twist and
turn itself In sailor lingo and his throat
is particularly fitted to warble sailor songs.

Among the workmen on the erountls

interested me more as a type than an
American carpenter with whom | some

lonely and uncomfortable in. his new

which here beset him as workingman
are quite as disturbing to him as tho
unfamiliar. setting of his daily life. He
clings tenaciously to his individuality.

fronts him here lightly makes strange

chants against Americans Stree the suo-
cessful close OF the war In Cuba and tbe

on fear of the rising prestige of Ameri.

tne trade OF Mexico. A curious outcome
or the war is an apprehension felt by
resident Spania and merchants that
their own nationality In Havana win

With them. They are warmly opposed
TO Spanish immigration into Mexico Tho
general sentiment among men In trade
is hostile to the growing American com
mercial and financial influence. and this
feeling Is manifested in many Irritating
ways. President Disz's administrator
is frierdly to the Americans. and this
fact enrnges the newspapers I'm opposl.
