MEMORABLE MARCH
The memorable march Of Father Jun

from san Diego to san Francisco. was
not begun until 1863. This holy man,
after untold hardshlps and privations
laid the foundation for the missionary
system and his labors were one OF the
most potent factors In the early up
bilding OF the Golden Gate. Each mis-.
sion when established was given an en-
dowment Of $4,000 from the Pious fund
and from the revenue thus derived the
padres were able TO carry on the work
Of ciylllzlng the red men.

was given out at the White House this
afternoon:
On his return to washington tho Presi-
dent found that some MISREPRESENTATION OBJ
tanned as to the re-appointment OF the

ment:
.'Mr. Byrne was originally appointed

President Mckinley. President Roosevelt
knew him personally. In the opinion OF
the President he had rendered excellent
service for the public good In more than
one direction and he had been staunch
supporter of the President when he. ran
for Governor and afterwards. He was
Represented by the Department OF Justice
as a At and competent District Attorney
and the President had entire confidence
In his ability and integrity. He ac-
,cepted the nomination for Congress. Otner
District Attorneys and Marshals had ac-
copied such nominations without being
required to resign. but in view OF the
factionaI fight in Delaware the President
drought Mr.. Byrne should resign which
ne accordingly did. When the election
was over the President re-appointed him
without having given him the slightest
previous indication that such was his In
tention. He would have been re-appoint-
ed without regard to the circumstances
under which he ran or the faction with
which he was allied"

Governor Nunez Hopeful for Future
of Cuba.

Washington. Nov. A-General Emilio
Nunez, Governor for the province of Ha-
vana, Is In Washington for the purpose
of rest and recupcration and to obtain
some relieve from throat trouble with
which he has been suffering. during the
last three or four months. In an inter-
view. he said:
with the blessing of unalterable peace,
Cuba Is daily regaining the prosperity lost
by the war. and have no doubt but that
the republic will overcome all the OBJ
stacles and difficulties that might oppose
its consolidation. The public sympathy
in Cuba toward the United States has not
changed. Our deep and sincere friend
ship towards this country. continues to
exis., and 1t cannot he otherwise as there
has been no reason that could have
caused a change to come about in the
relations between Cuba and the United
States established by the late war. More
over, President Roosevelts gracious and
persistent, campaign for reciprocity has
found an echo In the hearts of our peo-
pie. Increasing. II 1t were possible, the
debt OF gratitude that we contracted with
the United States
When asked regarding reports that a
feeling Of hostility against the United
States Is spreading in Cuba, he replied:
There is no more significance in these
reports than there is in the hostile feel
ings of this or the other political man, or
one or two newspapers here against
Great Britain when in reality the relations
between that country and the United
States are cordial. In fine, Cuba can
never forget all she owes the United
States and 1 am sure the immense ma
jority of it's people hope that your friend
ly and commercial relations will daily
grow closer although this does not mean
that there is any weakening in the senti-
ment for independence that have drove
us to war and which Is today the highest
ideal of our people"

The Trinity River at Dallas is rising at

fields have been totally ruined. Country
roads are damaged to the extent of many
