The Souvenirs From Cuba.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
have read with interest the many let
ters published in the local press from SOL
diers Of the District regiment at the front
to the press and home friends here Last
Fridays issue of The Star gave us a pleas
ing and irstructive record of the regiment
from the date of enlistment to and includ-
ing the day 1t was disbanded | notice
that a great many secured souvenirs from
around Santiago and at points of interest,
which VIII be kept as a reminder of those
days and night of anxiety and imminent
peril. Now il has occurred to me that if
the posSessorS Of these relics would be
willing to place them on exhibition in some
hall-say Rides Armory, on G sire eet-mark-
ing each with name of owner and the his
tory or circumstances under which IL was
obtained, such exhibition would be of gen
eral public interest and would he an occa-
sion for exchanging OF friendly greetings-
in fact, real good opportunity for con-
gratulations at close range. Aside from
the social feature, a price Of admission to
the tables of curiosities-say ~ cents-would
probably be popular and net considerable
sum, as a benefit to those in need, and 90
combine business with pleasure.
What think you of the suggestion? X.
