CAPT. MARMADUKE MAY VISIT.
Brother Expects Him if He Lands
in San Francisco.

Colonel Vincent Marmaduke of Hotel
Beers said last night that he expects his
brother. Captain Henry H. M~armaduke. who
recently resigned from the service of the
colombian Government. to visit st. Louis
II he returns from South America via San
Francisco.
II have heard nothing from my brother
since / saw the dispatches stating that he
had resigned his commission" said Colonel
Marmaduke. but l suppose that he will re-
turn to Washington, as he made Washing
ton his home before he entered the ColOm-
bian service.
IF he should land at San Francisco on
his return. my brother Leslie and I certainly
expect him here as or guest"
Colonel Marinadnke said that Captain
Marmaduke. who Is a graduate of Annap-
oils. entered the service of the Confederate
States at the beginning of the Civil War
and this prevented his entering the United
States Navy after the war. Captain Mar
maduke was an employee of the War De-
par:ment II Washington before he took
command of the Colombian fleet last Au-
gust.
Unfortunately for Captain Marmaduke his
ship. Bogota. In which he sailed from Seat
tie in October, did not nave an opportunity
to close with the insurgents. although the
presence of the Bogota helped to quell the
revolution. and the Colombian Government
publicly recognized the services of Captain
Marmaduke In aiding its suppression.
