own words-translating them into Eng
lish: Some years since, I had some
dealings with this Commandante, but did
not know him well. He was a Spaniard,
but while he was cruel he was not SO
bad as others, and he was a brave man.
A week before you landed. met him on
the street corner here in Ponce one
evening. He stopped me and said Prov
idence had brought US together. He was
Spaniard and he must fight for Spain,
although he knew well that she would
, be defeated, He said that he would not
survive--if the Americanos did not kill
him he would finish the work himself.
Then he asked me If I would not give
his wife and three children a refuge I'M
til they could return to Spain. And l.
what could do but say to him, IF they
come to my house l will receive them ?
And so the day after the troops reached
the city, she came to my house in a car
riage with her children, and took them
in. Since that time the Fajardo refugees
have come also, so that we are forty
five mouths to feed in my house But
she and her children have the best
room, and everything as the rest do. She
weeps most of the time. and we are very
sorry for her. The boy, well, he is just
boy; but the two little girls. everybody
loves them. and everybody is kind to
them, just as You have BEEN
Day after day our forces were pushed
out from Ponce toward Guayamo and
Arroyo on the main road toward San
Juan To the north, General Stone
marched to Adjuntas, and then sent a
small force clear across the island to
Arecibo. Farther west, General Schwan
!, took Mayaguez and all the western part
of the island. BY the time General
Brooke had his forces all ready to at
tack Aibonito. we were in possession of
more than half of the island On that
day, August 18th, General Brooke had his
lines of battle formed, the artillery was
in position with guns all shotted, and in
five minutes more the battle would have
been begun. While the final dispositions
for the attack were being made an off,
Ger was seen riding furiously up to where
the General was standing. The officer
handed General Brooke a telegram an
nouncing that the armistice, which had
hitherto applied everywhere except In
Porto Rico, had been made universal, and
that there was to be no more war II
General Brooke could have had one hour

to obtain a return of $l28, $50 which
they paid to Collector Bid dwell, under

arrived here on October %. and was
held up for the pay ment OF duty by the
collector on the ground that 1t came
from a foreign country. The duty was
finally paid under protest. A decision

90 -soME-s ELF.sUFRfCIENT southern
men. who 20 north to live, seem to
think 1t incumbent upon them to re-
nounce and pot aside all the sentiments
and instincts held sacred 10 their native
land, fearing that unless they do this
and become truculents they will not be
able TO ingratiate themselves with the
people of their adopted homes. The
latest example of this species OF rene
Vades is Mr.. Moncure d. Conway, who,
10 a recent letter to the New YORK
Sun, deplores 1.-THE resentment OF the
Southern people because Of the dinner
given to Booker Washington by the
President, and says, "Mr. Washington
il the most eminent Southerner DOW
living" and that "the credit of the
whole South is resting mainly on this
same colored man." Continuing be
says:
81 have no admiration for Mr.. Roose-
Welt, but my old Virginia heart is for
once warm with tribute to him
which is suppressed because it is not
legitimate to praise man for o simply
honorable action. Even II Booker
Washington were not the gentleman

public services are such as should not
be Ignored by the President. \ y
Let the righteous and intelligent men
and women 10 the South call halt to
these vulgar ebullitious OF provincial
ism and race hatred; let the white
southern youth be exhorted to ponder
seriously the career OF Booker Wash
ington."
1t is an old saying that al apostate Is
worse than seven Turks, and 1t is well
known that when o southern
man falls he falls hard. But II Mr..
Conway has become q negrophile in bis
northern home and favors negro social
equality ADD thinks because the south
ern people do not, it Ia "vulgsr pro-
vincialism and race hatred" on their
part, 1t is to he regretted that he does
not stop speaking OF himself as q Vir-
glDian. Certainly, after this letter no
true Virginian will care to know that
he is a native OF the State and will be-
lieve that Mr.. Conway left the State
for the States good.
