when he was but nine years OF age, and he
was compelled to begin the serious battle
OF life while still a boy. He learned a
trade in the Ellsworth shoe factories, and
has worked at it in Ellsworth, Rochester,
n. H., Mechanic Falls and Freeport. At
the age OF twenty-one he was foreman OF
a room in Mechanic Falls factory.
The perseverance and pluck which
aided him in his work were shown when
the call came for volunteers. He was at
that time employed in a Freeport factory,
aud was one OF the first to respond to the
call. In his work he had lost the ends OF
several fingers, and for this the army
examining board severa! times refused to
accept him; but he persisted, and because
of his determination and patriotism, was
finally accepted.
Leslie was very youthful in appearance.
lie bore an excellent reputation. lie had
the confidence of his employers, and was
popular with his fellow employees and
associates. He leaves mother, two
brot hers and a sister living i'll Ellsworth.
The remains were brought from Chick
amauga to Ellsworth where the funeral
was held. The G. A. II. post OF Ellsworth
paid graceful tribute to the youthful vol
unteer who nad died for his country, by
attending the funeral IN body.

WAR ECHOES.
PEACE COMMISSIONERS SAIL.


The American members of the peace
commission sailed from New York for
Paris Saturday. The state department
has given out statement concerning the
commissioners, which includes the fol-
lowing:
The commission goes to Paris fully prepared
to follow course of action mapped out for 1t
as the result of the consultations of the last two
days. At the very outset, 1t will be made clear
to the Spanish commission that as In the case
of the preliminary protocol there can be no de
Walton from or modification of the demands
made by the United States"
CUBAN COMMISSION.
The American and Spanish commits
sioners for the evacuation of Cuba are
working tremendously. The evacuation
OF the island will require a longer time
than anticipated. 1t is no small matter
to provide for the transportation OF 150,-
600 troops, but in addition to this is the
turning over to the Americans Of the
different government departments. This
cannot be accomplished III day; it is
work which requires time. The customs
department will be the first to be turned
over to theAmericans.
Gen. Blanco will remain in Havana
until the last. He is deserving OF credit
for the order being msintained under the
distur bed condition of affairs during the
transfer OF powers. He has the support OF
the American commissioners in his au
thority.
ARMY OF OCCUPATION.
The troops destined for the military oc
cupation of Cuba and Porto Rico will be
assembled in winter camps, in the south
ern states, until they are sent to the
islands, which will be after the unhealthy
season has passed.
