in regard TO the many complaints made
by policy holders of sudden and great in
crease in the assessments the report says
that it is apparent that during the earlier
years of the associations existence alb
surdiy inadequate premiums were collect
ed from the older members while from the

that the premiums collected were ade-

another instance of lack of knowledge of
the elementary principles of life insurance
displayed by the earlier management
The report states that the association,
beginning business seventeen years ago,
finds itself today with about 100000 poll
cies in force, aggregating some $500 COS. 900.

COMMISSION FOR 4 sPANIiRD.
Capt. AmnbiIc May Go With the
Irocps az Cuba.


The first ard probably the only former
Spanish officer to be given a command in
either the United States army or navy is
Capt ain Mestre Amabi!e, who will probably
be commissioned on one of the vessels
which will convoy the American troops to
Cuba.
When the civil war broke out in this
country he was commissioned by Spain as
naval attache to this country to observe
the naval operations and view the progress
CT the war. He remained in the SOUTH
watching the military and naval move
merts until the close Of the war.
He was then commissioned as chief sur
veyor of the department of the Island Of
Cuba, and Immediately began the difficult
task of making a new survey of the Is
land of Cuba, the first that had been made
for more than fifty years. He was COM
PEELED to go on foot along most Of the
coast. so that every inch of the ground is
familiar to him, and this knowledge will
serve him well in directing the landing
and operation of the American troops on
the island
When the ten years war broke out in
Cuba he rendered his resignation to the
secretary of the navy OF Spain as q cap
tain in that service and enlisted in the ser
vice Of Cuba. The president of the Cuban
boats which constituted the Cuban navy.
During the war his younger brother was
captured and made a prisoner by the Span
iafGs, who shot him in cold blood without
a trial as eonspirator.
After the war Captain Amabile again
listed in the service of Spain and was made
secretary to Captain General Pendergast
in Havana, and remained in that city until
1885, when he was accused of conspiracy
and arrested. Upon trial the was con-
demned to death. but owing to his former
service in the Spanish navy he was granted
new trial. This time he was banished
from Cuba and to remain in exile for nfe
He then renowned Spanish sovereignty
and came 20 New York and became q
naturalized American. Later he went to
Paris.
Captain Amabile volunteered his services
to Cuba at the outbreak OF the war, and
was authorized to remain In Paris to ad-
yocate the cause Of the island In that cap
ftal. and wasrthe accredited representative
OF Cuba in France. When the war be-
