 The Hartford Courant says: "W. A. Croffut was a Derby boy, years ago,
 and bright one. He did clever news
 paper work. His initials were not un-
 familiar to the readers of the Courant
 Now he's a soured and bumptious
 "anti," the secretary of a league" '"
 with all the offensive characteristics of
 his class. He has been writing letter, it appears, to the most offensive of the
 Yankee hating editors of Havana. He
 informs him that the appetite of the
 American people for plunder has been
 Nhetted, and that it will be satisfied
 with nothing less than the annexation
 of Cuba. He rejoices that the Havana
 convention stood out against the ''infa-
 nous" Platt amendment. He writes to
 his Havana brother: If Cuba submits
 to the arrogant proposition, her people
 do not deserve to be free" If Senor Coronado takes the letter seriously and acts upon it's advice, he will exhort his
 kind of Cubans to show that they de- serve to be free by making ready to l resist Yankee arrogance With force and
 arms Nice advice, that, for an Ameri-
 acn citizen to be sending to Havana"
