health Of General Brooke, said:
General Brooke was called upon to
govern Cuba under the extremely diff
fCult conditions of transition from
the old, narrow system to the new,
liberal regime and he did so without
injuring the rights of any one. Gu
JAMS will always remember him with
gratitude and love-"
Major General Wood, who spoke
briefly in response TO words of WEI
Gene, said:
THE United States is in Cuba in
the person of representatives who in
c to carry out a great work and
to fulfill strictly the promises of the
United States congress. AS for my.
self, | a only do what the president
has sent me to do, but | hope to enjoy
the esteem ard confidence of the Gu.
ban people as General Brooke has en-.
joyed them"
General Ludlow said:
Those American officials who re-
main behind may count themselves
fortunate if, when the time comes
for them to leave the island, they are
followed by the respect and good
wishes of those whom they in turn
leave behind, as General Brooke is
about to do. The Cubans have had
not better friends than the American
officers"
General Brooke, in responding, said
in part:
Il shall always remember the long
hours of toll in Cuba, but | shall also
ever recall the kindness shown me
by all Cubans, especially by those
who realize that the Americans are
their best friends"
General Brooke will leave to NOR
row for Tampa. A squadron of the
Seventh cavalry and a battery of the
Second artillery, with a band, will
escort him from the palace to the
wharf. A major generals salute will
be fred from CubanaS as the steamer

a governor generals salute will be

The Patria says:
"CubanS were formerly accustomed
to say that the autonomists forfeited
all right to be called Cubans by the
shameless manner in which they
abused their short term of office, Civ
ing all the good billets to their own
kinsmen and friends. But, after the
shameful way in which the first revo-
%lutionary government has wound up
its first term of Office, having given
all the billets it could to it's own
friends, the Cubans are forced to re-
alize that Spanish corruption has
contaminated the heart of the pres
ent generation. We must look to the
schoolmaster to build a generation of
honest citizens"
At today's meeting of the municipal
council Il motion was made to send
an address of thanks to President Nc
Kinley for his candid references to
the Cuban people and the future of
Cuba in his recent message to con-
gress. The motion was rejected On
the ground, as asserted by the politi-
cal speaker in opposition, hat the
message contained nothing new, but
merely reiterated a former promise.

He made no attempt to detach his
nephew from the society of the lovely
young stranger; nay, his countenance
even lighted up with benevolent pleas
ure as he watched them.
1t might have been one of the dearest
desires of his heart to bring about an
attachment between the two.
Madeline, on the contrary, seemed
displeased by her cousins attentions
to her companion.
When she could keep him apart from
her she did so, and seemed, moreover,
to find malicious joy in doing it.
She spoke to him more than once in
a tone of asperity, and the glances OF
her was jealous and mistrustful as she
noted Mariorie's cheek occasionally
crimson beneath his glance.
When the two girls retired that
evening, Madeline called Marjorie into
her room.
Come and sit with me for few
minutes" she said.
And, as they sat beside the fire to-
gether, she began almost Immediately,

OF Edgar she said little.
The bare mention of his name was

She loved him, and was not yet free

So much Marjorie was quick to un-
derstand.
