on board the French cruiser Assiz. The
hero of Fashoda was greeted with immense
enthusiasm, the ship having him on board
being escorted into the harbor by large
number of steamers. AT the landing Major
Marchand was received by the mayor of
Toulon and several generals Of the French
army, who welcomed him In speeches of
laudation.
The roadstead was crowded with vessels
decked out with flags and all manner of
small boats were out to welcome the ex-
plorer on his return to France. When the
cruiser dAssiz entered the port flags and
handkerchiefs were waved everywhere, and
shouts of "Vive PArmee!' and "Vive
Marchand!" resounded In all directions. Ma
jor Marchand and his companions were kept
busy replying to the welcome.
Replying to the addresses, Major
Marchand expressed his heartfelt thanks
for tho demonstrations of welcome. He re-
called his own anguish and that Of his
comrades when they were ordered to evacu-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SIGHTED.
Their Floral Tribute to Union Dead
Not Accepted.

COLUMBUS, O., May 3O-There was an
unfortunate incident here to-day which was
direct slight to the Confederate veterans
and which has created a sensation in local
G. A. r. circles. The snub consisted of their
refusal Of a magnificent floral tribute ten
dered by the Southerners to be placed on
the graves of the Union dead I'm Greenlawn
Cemetery. The tribute, I'm view of the events
of the past year, was peculiarly appropriate
representing the North and the South grasp
ing the Union flag. The tender was made
by ex-Confederates who appreciated the ef-
forts which have been made to cement the
North and the South. but when the matter
was laid before the general floral ommittee
representing the G.. A. R posts, they de-
clined to accept. Before the matter could
be brought before the general membership
OF the different posts the design was ac-
cepted by the ex-Soldiers' and Sailors As
sOciation, who used it in their exercises
to-day. The marshal of the parade had
invited the ex-ConfederateS to participate
in the exercises of the G. A. r. to-day, and
quite a number OF them appeared before
they learned of the snub. They withdrew
Immediately but joined the ex-SoldferS and
sailors. There is great indignation among
the various members of the G.. A. r. posts
and the Southerners have been assured that
Uhe action of the committee represented
only individual opinion and is not the spirit
of the various posts. 1t is highly probable
that action will be taken I'm regular form
to disavow the work of the committee.

AGE LTURE IN CUBA.
At . Star
Al
for Lack Of Capital
solved Problem.
Havana II


An American returning from a tour Of the
island said yesterday that he had been in
every country of the world, but he had
never seen any soil as fertile that OF
Cuba. The observation, while II is not new
to Cubans. Is worthy Of repetition for the
benefit OF those not so well informed Yet,
while there are thousands of acres Of land
OF the richest quality. agriculture is prac-
consumed is imported from the States.
Two reasons exist for this. One is the
danger from bandits and the other the lack
of funds to rebuild buildings, buy tools and
implements and produce crops. The former
of these difficulties will be one of short dura-
ton. The people Of the agricultural dis
tricts are vitality interested in the cuitiva-
tion of the soil and will heartily assist in
making that work as safe in Cuba as IL is
In the United States.
The second of these objections is one of
deeper concern There is no reason why for
eign capital should not find profitable in
vestment, either by purchase. lease or part
nerShip contract, in the rural districts.
Certainly soil as fertile as that indicated
shoulo not go uncultivated for want OF cap
ital.
AT present there seems to be a lack of
understanding or the situation and a failure
to come to an agreement. American capi-
talists accustomed to gilt edged loans i'm the
United States, will make nothing but a
straight loan on well improved property,
which, of course. does not largely exist.
Then comes the specuiator who seeks TO
take advantage OF the owners necessity and
buy land for nothing. The Cuban. on the
other hand. is partly at fault. He does not
want TO part with his source of livelihood,
and will often refuse to sell at any price.
blindly waiting for something TO turn up.
With these conditions there Is stagnation
in lands the most fertile in the world, sur
prising IL may seem. The remedy GER
tainly lies in capital finding investment on
some basis insuring security and a fair
profit to both owner and investor. 1t is sur
prising that neither American nor English
capital has solved the problem.

ment and municipal offices were closed. as
were the schools, and business was gener-
ally suspended. Prominent local orators de-
livered addresses during the ceremonies by

with Spain had cemented the North and
South in a bond of fraternal sympathy
never to be again broken.

the National Cemetery at Germantown, a
suburb of this city, where the bodies of 224
Confederate soldiers are buried. For the

floral emblem by the soldiers of the North.

with national colors the graves or other
Southern soldiers in Mount Moriah Gene
terry.
While the veterans of the civil war re-
membered their dead comrades, the men
who gave up their lives In the war with
Spain were not forgotten. All the graves of
the Pennsylvania volunteers who died while
in service and were buried here were appro-
visited Laura Hill Cemetery and decorated
the graves of their comrades whose deaths
occurred in Porto Rico. A wreathe was for
warded to Nyack, n. Y, to be placed on the
grave of Corporal Harold p. Smith, of the
battery, who Is buried there.
At various Roman Catholic churches mass
was celebrated for the repose Of the souls
of the men who lost their lives during the
Spanish-American war. Washington Monu-
mept. in Fairmount Park, was decorated by
the Children of the American Revolution.
The recently unveiled statue of General
Grant in Fairmount Park was decorated
with wreathes. flags and bunting and elab-
crate memorial services were held over the
grave of General Meade.
Throughout the State memorial services Of
a local character were mainly held. In the
city of Camden and southern New Jersey
the graves of the civil and Spanish war
heroes were decorated.
Over the grave of Betsy Ross, in whose
house the first American flag was made
there were appropriate services, followed
by the raising of large flag by her great.
