New York, Feb ga Herald dispatch
from Havana says:
Those who have been led to believe
that Gen. Maxine Gomez was persuad-
ed by the presidents commissioner,
Robert P. Porter to look more kindly
upon the continued American occupa-
ton of Cuba, may dfsabuse their minds.
The grim old chieftain still clings fond
1y to Cuba Hbre. He has abated no
jot of his antagonism to foreign inter-
Vention of nay sort, even though he ac-
cepts 100000 for his warriors. In
letters published with his authority.
Gomez gives praise to his soldiers for
their heroism and fortitude. Continu-
ing he says:
1T is wonderful that any are left
alive after such horrible struggle and
pains. We warn you that we may not
yet have finished the strange destiny
that presents this last trial and humil-
iation. We are strangers in our own
country, still wet with our blood.
Forced guidance is hateful to us. 1t
appears that the Americans are reim-
bursting themselves for their Spontane-
Gus Intervention in our war of indie
pendence. Their delay in that inter-
vention is still a shame upon them. The
Americans instead of aiding, are OBJ
Structing the establishment of a free
and independent republic.
This is our house. We are to live in
it. We should furnish it to our own lik-
ing. 1 say to you there cannot be peace
in Cuba, while there lasts that transit
tory government, imposed by force and
which is hateful in the eyes of our peo-
pie.
II had hoped to bid farewell to
SPANS heroic soldiers, inviting them to
building Cuba, but the Americans en-
FILTERED the joy of cOnquerers by the
guidance they impose upon US. En-
differing US, they have also added grief

HOSTILE CANUCKS.
They Feel Sore Because Our Elm Point Cor
respondent Said Thou Were Fresh.

In the issue of September 7th our cor
respondent at Elm Point saw occasion to
comment on the behavior of visiting
Mordenites at Walhalla and vicinity. 1t
is not deemed necessary to republish the
item referred to, but we give space to
the letter of inquiry received Saturday
from the editor of the Morden Chronicle,
also the reply of our Elm Point cores
pondent, which it is hoped will act as a
balm to the aggrieved feelings of our
Canuck cousins, whose good fellowship
has long been cherished by Langdolites
and the people of Cavalier county gen.

Editor COURIER
Dear Sir:-I published the enclosed
from your paper of Sept. Z, and good
many of our people here feel very hos
tile, and emphatically deny that your
Elm Point correspondent had any justifi-
cation for his structures. Several parties
at different times have visited Walhalla
from here and each party feels aggrieved.
I would take it as a fraternal favor if
you would inquire into this matter and
let me know privately, or publish, the
facts that your Elm Point correspondent
complains of, and the da 9.
Yours truly,

Editor COURIER DEMocRAT:
Received your letter and enclosure to-
day. Was sorry that Mr.. Galbraith or
the Mordenites should take offense at
the innocent productions of my pen. In
fact, it would appear to me that the editor
of the Morden Chronicle is making a
mountain out of a mole hill.
Since statement of the affair is called
for will do my best to recall the mat
ter. 1 Iam not positive as to the date re-
quired, but believe it was about the 9th
Of August, when party passed through
Elm Point enroute for Walhalla, that
youthful members of the party did pass
remarks, freely, too, and about the pass
ers-by. Later I met the same party in
Walhalla and was informed that they
came from Morden. A freedom of
speech is not prohibited in this land of
ours where the eagle screams, and su p
pose l might have passedit up in silence,
but there is certain amount of irrita-
ton connected with youthful freshness
when distributed freely along this thorny
pathway of life that induced me to make
mention of it, and I might have gone
after them more roughly than the oeca.
sion merited. The article did not bear
particularly on their party as whole,
but on one or two individual members Of
it. There is no need that the visiting
parties from Morden should feel ''hostile"
or ''aggrieved," as the writer did not
mean to cast any reflection on them
whatever.
The Morden boys have always appeared
% be pretty fair lot of fellows when
have met them in Langdon. Walhalla or
elsewhere, but what have said, I have
said. Yours fraternalIy.
