may be imagined, Is enormous. During
the Cuban-Spanish war her plantation
was idle, most of her 800 workmen

patriotic beauty paid every one his

lives in a magnificent mansion at

for their splendor and exclusiveness,
and officers of the army and navy vie

said, she Is by no means unwilling to
change her condition In life when she
