here for Cuba for ten days at least. The
General. while he has come to no con-
clusion on the subject, will be inclined to

A Sensation From Russia.


The ear Of Russia has formulated
and sent to the nations Of the world a
proposition looking to universal
peace. IN his note he points 10 the
fact that the maintenance Of large
armies by tie powers has placed upon
taxpayers burden that IS running
the nations and he proposes that ali
nations Of tire world throw away their
machines Of war and disband their
armies.
The cars proposal to disarm has
made decided sensation throughout
the world, and the comments made by
leading newspapers and the opinions
advanced By prominent men Of the
several nations are curious and make
interesting reading.

"The powers invited BY Frances
