MRS. DAvIs's Ho@E.-The complaint
oy Mississippi papers that Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis has taken up her permanent
abode in Vermont is stated upon good
authority to be mistake. The fact,
however, that the widow of the Presi-
dent of the Confederacy has spent so
little Of her time in the South is admit
teddy an obstacle in the way of obtain
ing contributions in the South to the
monument which is to be erected
la Richmond to the President of the
Cont, deracy. Mrs. Davis's friends in
Richmond insist that her stay in Yer
mont is only temporary, and that she
has lived at the North because 1t af.
forded hersef and Miss Winnie Davis a
better opportunity to supervise the pub
locations in which they were interested.
Mrs Davis, it is insisted by her Rich.
mond friends, has never failed to mani
fest her loyalty for the South. The
death of her daughter, Miss Winnie, is
believed to be largely due to the visit
OF that young lady to the Confederate

Garcia was in Washington for the pur-
pose Of comforting with President Nc
Kinley and others interested in Cuban
affairs and alleging that he had as
serted that Cuba's greatest need is the

siderable comment On change, where
majority of the large business houses
OF Havana are represented, the feeling
is general that, at present, change is
not advisable, as the putting of new
men in Office would disturb business
and the withdrawal of the military
would mean an increase in brigandage
throughout the country, where the
conditions are not the same as in the
