enemies az an occasion for a hostile demon
s~tration.
Lieut.. Perry said that In his opinion the
better element Of the Cubans, especially
the Spanish settlers, nov full well that
Prcsident-elect Palma will not be seated
There is an undercurrent sentiment pre-
vailing to that effect among those in a po-
sition TO know.
1T looks as if he il afraid to return to
the island" said Mr.. Perry, -and ! think
Cub will never see him as its President.
He has been ~transacting all his private
and political business with the island from
New York, where he has resided since the
Spanish-American War began almost four
years ago
Among Lieut.. Perry's fellow passengers
was Bishop Charles Smith OF the African
Methodist Church, who went to Cuba 10

the island and see what could be done In
the way Of winning them over 20 the Metho-
dist Church. A district station has been

Up for the Exposition.

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 25.-A party Of bust
ness men from st. Louis, embracing State
and city officials and directors Of the pro-

nature Of the enterprise and urge New
Jersey to make a suitable appropriation.
in order that IL may be properly represented
on the grounds with a suitable State build
ing and exhibits. Gov. Murphy Of New
jersey was among the interested auditors.

old Louisiana territory could not be bought

of the desired appropriation. IL was prom
ised hat the Exposition would exceed in
splendor any ever held abroad and especially
that Of Chicago.
