TO HIN REVENGE is SWEET.
SEATTLE MANS PECULIAR SEySA-
TONS AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA
Louis J. r. Leyba. Ex-Conductor on
the s. 4 L.. Member OF Picked
Troop of second Cavalry. and
His Reasons for Hating Spanish.

In the iisnatch from Santiago De Cuoa
yesterday. describing the ceremonies o.
the formal surrender OF the city and he
hosting % the Stars and Stripes sTe- "a
batsleinencs was the information that
picked troop OF he Second cavalry was
one OF the favored few who were stationed
around the plaza II that troop was IN
doubleday Seattle man: a nan who las
over a score OF years hated the Spanish.
and for good cause. During that score OF
years there has slunbered in his bosom a
fiery hatred FOR that race as fervent AS his
love for 1he Stars and Stripes. His name
is Louis J. r. Leyba, former conductor
on the Seattle & Internationa! train run
ming between Seattle and Woouay
To him the declaration 81 war between
the United States and Spain sou9deG IS
sweet as the tune Of wedding bells. All
his latent powers Were aroused and ob-
tanning a leave Of absence ne left with al
possible speed for Key West 10 enlist IS
Il volunteer. He gained his obisct and
when the troops landed in Cuba and form
ed in battle array. no eye glittsroi with
more deadly hate than that OF Lod!s Ley
"a. A. he stood with the troops Sunday
what must have been his feelings As the
Spanish arms and the legend. ''V:ve Al
fonso NH" were RACED to the ground
and the brilliant furls Of old Glory swung
gallantly TO the breeze. Revenge is sweet
and 10 Louis Leyba the theme must have
come with great force. "All iaings come TO
him who waits" How his Blood must
have tingled as the strains OF the star
Spangled Banner were waited TO the air
and the thought that ne was one moment
nearer the day OF settling with those ne
hated.
The story Of his awful spite against the
Spanish IS simple. His father WAS
Wholesale cigar manufacturer in New York
City. He was Cuban and owned several
plantations in the island and some IN
Spain Every year he would visit Spain
and collect his revenue, HIS great friend
was one Antonnita, and when he crossed
the ocean 10 Spain the last time Antonnita
accompanied him. The next time word
was received 10 the effect that Autonnita
had stabbed him and robbed him Of IS 80.
One peculiar feature Of the case was that
Mr.. Leyba : mother waS English. his faith
er Cuban; they had been married By "A
Protestant, ana all the property was con-
fiscated by the Catholic church under the
laws OF Spain. which did not recognize the
marriage as legal.
AS a consequence the family Was reduced
to destitute circumstances
For this deed. Louis J. r. Leyha left his
wife and four children in this city and
joined the army TO srek satisfaction.
