Msjor Dudley 10 now judge advocate
Of the department Of Cuba. He has
been stationed at Havana in this capsc.
ity ever since military occupation Of the

labors under General Brooke. He was
retained in that position by General
Wood. who now says he cannot get along
without him. His headquarters are at
Havana. Mrs. Dudley has been with
him in Cuba the greater part Of his stay
there. leaving only the first summer
through fear Of an epidemic Of yellow
fever. She will return with him in Oc-
tober.

The cleaning up Of the city Of Havana
was JOB Of no small proportions. Cess

houses Of the city, and the buildings.
streets and alleys were filled with filth,

done thoroughly, and with thousands Of

very large. but from the amount Of
work done, Major Dudley has formed
the opinion that no money was wasted.
and none uselessly expended. He thinks
General Ludlow deserves great praise
for cleaning the city % he did, and pre-
venting disease by improving sanitary
conditions.
Because his work has confined him to
Havana, where the leaders OF the Gu
bans congregate, MINOR Dudley has not
had the best opportunity for observing
the temper Of the people in the island.
He dos know, however. that the people
OF the Island are now quiet and orderly,

A GREAT FEAST.
President Loubct of France Gives n
banquet to over 22.OOO In
vited Guests.

Paris, Sept. 24.-The city of Paris
on Saturday abandoned itself to the
sway of the assembled mayors of
France. The Gargantuan banquet OF
over 80 900 covers took place at noon,
in ideal September weather. in the
Tuilleries gardens. This gigantic
feast throws far into the shade the
memorable repast of the mercenaries,
so picturesquely described by Gustave
Flaubert in "Salammbo.' Saturdays
banquet, of which President Loubet
was the host, was the biggest sit
down meal" ever served in France, the
only historical precedent at all ap-
preaching it being the fraternal ban
net of $1,000 covers on April 2, 1915, in
the Champ de Mars, given by the i'm
perial guard for the national guard to
celebrate Napoleon's return from
Elba.
In the gardens of the Tuileries the
service was admirably conducted by
2l,S7O walters. divided into squads of
IS. each squad commanded by head
waiter. There were altogether 1918
head walters. The commander in
chief of this little army was NJ. lie
Grand, the head caterer, who, mount
ed on his motor tricycle. and attended
by a numerous staff, also on motor
cycles. wheeled and circled about
with lightning rapidity. Nearly all
the other walters rode bicycles. With
the exception of coffee, everything
was served cold. The space occupied
by the guests measured over $4,000
square meters, forming total length
of table of eight kilometers, equal to
four miles seven furlongs and 1863
yards. or nearly five miles. 1t re-
quired $50 oxen to supply the beef
for the mayors luncheon, and 500
pounds of salmon. $500 chickens and
$500 pheasants and 10000 bottles of
wine were served. Each guest was
provided with cigar, and brigade
of firemen stood at attention when
the twenty-odd thousand matches
were ignited to light its forest of
