Finally | know that you have left in power

for three Yeas have fought as the enemies
of the independence OF Cuba. beg TO say
that these authorities have never been elsst-
cd at Santiago by the residents OF the city,
but were appointed by royal decree OF the
queen of Spain.

your command should have taken possession
OF the city. the garrison and the ror;s.

measure you may have deemed best under
American military law to hold the city for
your army and to preserve pubic order until
the time comes TO fulfill the solemn pledge OF
the people OF the United states TO establish
in Cuba a free and independent government.
But when the question arises of appointing
authorities in Santiago de Cuba, under the
peculiar circumstances OF our thirty years
strife against Spanish rule, cannot see but
with the deepest regret that such authorities
are not elected by the Cuban people, but are
the same ones selected by the queen of Span,
and hence are ministers to defend against the
Cubans the Spanish sovereignty.

Prominent Porto Rican Talks About
His Coumtrymen's Wishes.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Senor P. de
Castro, one of the prominent members
of the Porto Rican junta in this city,
when asked as to the attitude Of the
junta. said:
when the junta was organized, we
pledged TO secure the independence of
the island. That was more than two
years ago. Such thing as annexation
was not discussed, because Spain was
not at war with America. Since this
war, however, all our people are with
America. At a meeting on July y. We
decided to assist the United States I'M
conditionally. The majority of us are
in favor of annexation. Any talk of
the revolutionary party of Porto Rico
resisting the invasion of the Americans
is nonsense. I was at the meeting held
July Il. in this city, and never heard
any such threat.
Il have grave doubts of our ability
TO make a republic of Porto Rico.
meaning. as it does, an internal strife;
but annexation would be successful
The majority Of Porto Ricans in this
country are heartily in favor of it.
There are some few against annexa-
ton, but none who would counsel re-
sistance to it by force of arms

Mrs. Joyce remarked that that trait

the teachers never said anything about

Christian Endeav0rers Will Have q
Restful Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the ST. Pau.
Christian Endeavor union will be held
at Lake Como, Saturday, July 80. The
meeting will be in the nature of an
outing. which will be participated in
by all of the flfty-four Christian En-
deavor societies in st. Paul, and will
doubtless prove a popular departure.
It is expected that fully $500 will at
tend
The EndeavorerS will spend the af-
ternoon at the lake, and at o'clock
the election Of officers will take place
and reports will be received from sew
eral committees of the union as to
the progress made during the year.
For some time past there has been
considerable dissatisfaction in local En-
deavor circles owing to the fact that
Minnesota sent no representation what
ever to the national convention In
past years Minnesota has been repre-
scented at the national meetings of tho
Endeavorers by large delegation. and
1t has been a matter of regret that
none attended from this state. 1t has
been said that the chairman of the
transportation committee. who is a
Minneapolis man, is 20 blame for not
securing a special rate from the rail-
roads.
1t is with a view of increasing in
terest in the Endeavor movement in
st. Paul that the rally at Como is to be
held. Addresses will be made by
prominent local clergymen and En-
deavorers. and the matter of. sending
delegates to the next years convention
Will be considered.
Several important features of the En-
deavor work viii be considered. A
proposition made by Rev. John Sinclair.
of the First Presbyterian church. at
the last quarterly meeting of the union,
providing for an Interchange of lead
ers among the societies of the city. The
idea is to take those selected to lead
meetings in August at their home
churches and transfer them to societies
of other denominations to lead meet
ings on the date assigned to them. The
SUBJECT VIII be discussed at the gather

importance in the field of Christian
