When the Kingston arrived in Seattle
from Victoria early Sunday morning, for

the exception TO the rule. There are very

these are straight. or curved to suit the

WINGED of this until some Of the buildings
on his plantations were burned down.
Then he sold out to a German syndicate
and retired from the island to await an
opportunity for revenge.
He thought his chance had come when
the war with Spain broke out. Under
the pretext that he was going to organize
an expedition to fight for Cuba libre,s
he was allowed by the United States
government to pack a little steamship,
the Fanita, with some Santo Domingo
refugees and set sail from Mobile. But
instead Of Cuba, his destination was
Santo Domingo. He landed there one
dark night with his compatriots, expect
ing to End a thousand insurgents under
arms awaiting him. But his letter had
miscarried, the raid was unexpected and
no revolution had been started. After a
few shots he had to beat an ignominious
retreat.
His recent efforts in the revolutionary
line have been more successful. at least
from a Spectacular point Of view.
