not be treated thus. They brought me
from my home, promising 70 send me to
college, to educate me-, and now, now,
how u Il? Because Of my color am
here and they are n grand hotel /
am without money; nothing. nothing have
I. and they are going TO leave me here.
leave me behind
So spoke Santiago Naceo. Q son Of the
great Cuban general Of that name. ~ the
New Western hotel yesterday. He came
here ~ one Of the party Of Ars- Katherine
Tngiey. the founder Of the order known
- the Brotherhood OF Han.
At the close Of the GpAnioh-American
war in Cuba, Ars. Tingiey. accompanied
BY . number Of her followers. went to
Cuba and there began the work OF re-
lieving the distress Of tina natives. Cloth :.
ms. food. medicines and Ill else possible
were provided for them, without money
or cot TO those who were helped.
A. none Of the party with Mrs. Tngiey
spoke the Cuban language It was neccs-
sary to and an interpreter. and Santiago
Aace0. who was then cook for . mess
In the SOLDIER barrackA was given the
place. He was clothed. fed and paid .
salary, and then the Maceo strain came
upperDost, and the erstwhile meas-cook
became great man.
I'VE put up with Santiago vanity In
Cuba, and maybe fostered It . little, be-
Q man IN the boy and wanted to develop
HIM" said Mrs. Tlngiey. But" she
added. ''he has simply become unbearablc.
his vanity = unSuIsrabls. and I can do
but one thing-send him back home.
1T 10 quite true that Santiago IL without
money. We mean he shall be. for when
Ne give him mcney he puts It TO uses that
bring discredit upon u. It 10 quite true
that he u placed In Z hotel apart from
the rest Of the party, although We have
several Cuban0 with US here at the Raj
nier-Grand. but We could no longer keep
him with u. We could no longer have
him lording It over the servants and
strutting about. 'Maceo Of the Maceos'
! had hoped to send the boy to college,
but he 10 beyond control. 90 far - his
lineage = concerned, he 10 the son Of q
gallant man. patriot. but / regret to
say he has but little OF his fathers traits
In his character
"As said BEFORE" concluded Mrs. Ting
ley. "NaceO will be sent home after hav-
Ing bsen we'll clothed. well fed and given
. chance to see more Of America than
many deserving boys 1T homo here get."
When a11ked to specify IN particular his
grievances. Santiago Maceo wanted money.
That he was abused he knew. but he want
ed to b. paid for telling the story of hts
wrongs. II a Newspaper could be found
that would buy hts tale Of woe he would
unfold 1t In all Its terrible details. but
money he must have. Had he been clothed?
Yes. Had he had berth in Pullman
sleeper with the rest OF the party in Its
travels? He had. Had he dined in the
dining car on the railroads at q per meal?
He had. He had even stopped at the best
hotels until Seattle was reached: but now.
now he was cut OF from the reSt Of the
party. and-well. II he was paid for II he
would tell why.
Mrs. T1ngiey will send him home to Cuba
today II he wants TO 60 II he does not
want TO 60 he will probably remain In
Seattle. but N far 40 the Universal Broth
erhood OF Man Is concerned, Santiago
Maceo Is no longer q member in good
standing.
As for the other Cuban boys and girls
Mrs. Tinglcy brought to this country, she
has already placed most Of them IN
schools. where the Brotherhood will main
tain them until they acquire an educa-
ton. The others will be similarly taken
care Of Only Santiago Maceo goes home
