HAVANA, April General Maxine

7yife in Santo Domingo. reviews his
differences with the sO-called military
a assembly. He begins by describing the
situation as it was when Robert

tive of President Mckinley, visited
cuba after the Assembly's representa-
lives at Washington had obtained a
promise of 100000 from the Presi-

lowed the day to go by in peace and idle

lowed the day to go by IN peace and idle
ness.
The idea was to form a brotherhood
a brotherhood of jantors-an organiza-
ton which was to include every man who
could swing a broom for more than ten
minutes at a stretch or was willing to
scrub windows above second-story al
titude. There were janitOrs enough to
form a political convention before re
day was very old, but they preferred to
spend their time in the dancing pavilion
with the mattresses to spending it in ses-
sion of organization; and so the day went
by with no brotherhood and no meeting
and nothing but a picnic, which, how
ever much of success it might have
been, did but little toward forming
league of janitors out for the dust and
sworn enemies of scattered waste paper
and grimy glass.
There was an attempt to hold a meet
ing toward the close of the festivities of
the day, but by that time most of the
available material for offices had depart
ed and the new organization was left in
its embryonic stage until there can be
another picnic or another holiday.
It is intended to make the brotherhood
a purely social body. 1T will have no
political significance" is the reply to any
questions touching its purpose.
