Doubtless Mr.. Scovel. and some of
the other correspondents who have
been expelled from Cuba, wonder how
Richard Harding Davis escaped.
Surely Davis has had no superior as
an exaggeratOr, not to say misrepre-

Times must be hard in Madrid, if
we may believe the Heraldo Of that
city, which says Lieut.. Col. in the
Spanish army, who was wounded in
Cuba, Las to stand on the street cor

children from starving.
1t would seem that the U. s. was {

there isn't already one. The Smith
family never gets left.
