WHERE WAS SENATOR FoRAKERq

From the Omaha World Herald
 Where was Mr. Foraker when the pres- dent declared that this government should undertake to care for the graves of Con- federate soldiers? Where was MT. Joseph Benson Foraker when an ex-rebel had the audacity to pin upon the bosom of the president the badge of the hated Confeder- acy? Where, we ask again, was MT. Jos- eph Benson Foraker when the president consented to address gathering of ex- Confederates while standing almost with in the shadow cast by the hated stars and bars? Is it possible that he who sawed the air with his loyal arms and stirred the cir cumambient air with his melodious voice filled with sobs and sorrow when 1t was suggested that few old and tattered Con- federate flags be returned, was bereft of speech and motion by the audacity and inn pudence of the grizzled veterans of the gray? What, We stop the press to in- quire, is to become of if the on-rushing tide of rebellion is not swept tack by the loyal broom of MT. Joseph Benson Fora ker? Where, we ask in despair, was the man who declared that no rebel battlefags should be returned while he was governor when the stars and bars of the Lost Cause floated in the breezes as the parade swept by the presidents reviewing stand?

STARTLING EDITORIAL
Published in Toronto World Warning Canadians to be Watchful of Their Interests - Wilson's Mason
 Speech Taken as Text.

Toronto, Ont, December 29.-The Toronto World. which opposes the present liberal government al Ottawa has startling edi- torial today under the heading: Canada on the Brink" in which it warns the peo- pie of the country that times are critical so far as the maintenance of Canada as a free, independent and integral portion of North America is concerned.
 Unless Canadians" declares the World, 'are fully alive to the situation and speak out in no uncertain way, they will find themselves between a grasping annexation movement in the United States, having for its end the dom nation of the whole con- tinent and a great party in England is pre- pared to make almost any sacrifices to the United States in consideration of some kind of support of England in her race with Russia, France and other European powers.'
 The World then refers to the recent speech at Macon, Ga, of Major-General James H. Wilson, of Delaware, in which that gentleman expressed he hope that he would see the day when our starry flag shall float everywhere, in the frozen north to the sunny cline of Central America"
 we believe" the World proceeds, that these words of General Wilson only show too well the opinion of a great number of Americans when once their appetite for ex- pansion is aroused in the direction of the north, and if once they get it into their heads that they only have to go far enough in their great game of bluff, which seems to be their best and strongest card in diplomacy, will force Canada into aanexa- tion."
 In conclusion the paper says: We are nearer to absorption than we ever were Do Canadians realize it?"

SOMETHING OF SANTIAGO
 CUSTOM IN LOVE AFFAIRS

N ANTIAGO de Cuba, December 16.- A Special Correspondence)-I have >A only recently arrived in this old O city, and the first view certainly strikes one as a queer place. But, how ever much one has read of the narrow streets and the sidewalks two feet wide, clinging to the sides of the houses like frightened girl to her escort, when one first sees them the sight is a most interesting one I tried to walk along the sidewalks when first arrived, but was kept so busy lodging the iron rods which stuck out over the sidewalk from the iron grated windows, that I quickly took to the middle of the street like every one else does. Every one sidwalk.
 These "senoritas" are queer lot, but perhaps the lovely Cuban dears are not so much to blame as their horrid Cuban cus- toms and their parents. For instance, one of the soldiers of the Fifth United States volunteers-please don't call us 'immunes" "a young man who Is well known in Bir- mingham, in some way met charming little black-eyed "senorita" and called on her once or twice. Rather he called on the 'senorita" and the ''senora," or the young ladys mother invariably sat in the parlor with the young people, and each time with in listening range. We guyed him and gave him the jolly that the old lady was loving him too Later, when he learned that this was the invariable custom in Santiago and other Cuban towns. his love 'gap to grow cold.

 Santiago is beginning to look like a new city, in view of the extensive improvement which the United States government is having made here. All of the streets are being cleaned and repaved and passable roads are being built through the surround ing country.
 The Birmingham boys in the Fifth are all unusually well, and sickness is greatly on the decrease All of the men are getting more and more accustomed to the warm climate here, and they don't want to go home to the freezing states. not until spring, anyhow. Christmas in the tropics is approaching with the thermometer reg istering from 90 to 100 all day. The nights, however would be more to Santa Claus liking, for blankets are not at all uncom- fortable between the suns.
 
 The Alabama boys on the island, the Bir- mingham boys in particular, are getting up a directory of the Alabamians in Santiago and~on the island, which they are endeav- bring to make complete in every particu- lar.
 First Lieut.. Norman c. Jones, who is on the staff of the reviewing board visiting every military camp in the province, has been absent from Santiago over three weeks. Indirect news was received from h:m yesterday at ManzaniIlo. saying that he will return to camp soon.
