| splendid success which has signallZed
his service as Consul-Gensral Of the
! United States at TIabana. Accredited by
the government to post Of exceptional
| responsibility by reason OF the strained
relations between the United States and
| Spain incident TO the Cuban struggle for
| independence, he has been so clear in his
| great office so true TO every duty. so
| faithful to every trust, so brave, so calm.
and wise and masterfu In the midst OF
| labors the most difficult and circum-
| stances the most appalling, all the while
| upholding with mistaken hand the honor
of his country, as to have won an en-
| during place in the hearts of his people,
| without distinction of party or section.
| We join most fervently in the plaudits
! his countrymen have so literally and
worthily bestowed upon him.
while disclaiming utterly any narrow
| or sectional feeling, we cannot entirely
suppress our qualification that it has
| fallen to the lot of southern soldier 10
| exhibit upon a stage to which the eyes
! Of all Christendom have been long turn
| ed with absorbing interest, the noblest
| qualities OF American manhood and
citizenship. fact which cannot fail to
exert the happiest influence, demon
strating 10 the world that when the
honor of our nation IL involved, there is
no North, no South, no East, no west
but a united country. We further notify
our old comrade that We claim the prGl-
lege of extending to him a public recep-
ton at our hall, at his earliest convent
ence after his arrival in Washington
