Oportuno me parece que fijemos
ahOra los puntos esenciales de la cues
ton, Y deseo que estOs Sc puedan re-
ducir 4 las siguientes preguntas: iExis-
te, siquiera en- embri6n, Ia Confedera-
ci6n antillana! lQui6n la hace 8 pre-
para, y por que medios! tinalmente
lEsta cercano 8 leios el dia de verse
realizadal
Sc me tigura que 10 antedicho basta
q llenar ell objeto requerido por usted,
y paso 4 decir: Que 81 eXiste la Confe-
deraci6n antillana, aunque todavfa en-
embri6n; que actualmente trabajan en-
ella, con medios amplios y legales, la
fuerza de poderosos elementos en- los
Estados Unidos, Cuba y Puerto Rico,
teniendo ademas la aprobaci6n uniyer-
sal; por 6ltimo, que Sc proclamara
ulbt et 0lbl, en- IN breve espacio de
tempo, que solo Dios lie es dado Sc
nalar.
Justo y necesario es, que Sc reco-
nOZca por todos, que cl peso de la res
ponsabilidad que ahora tengo, excede
en- mucho & mi suhciencia; empero la
verdad de 10 que acabo de decir; la
clara inteligencia Y la benigna aten-
cion de usted, undo Ia del ilustrado
p1bRco que lea sin passion mis- NAL
pergenadas lineas, espero que supliran
todas las grandes deficiencies mias. Y
permftame anadir: que apesar de 10
NAL que 10 hago, 81 usted Sc hubiese
tornado la pena de leer 10 que hace
tempo me honran con publican ~El
Heraldo EspanOl2 Y SLa Correspon-
dencia de Puerto Rico@, respecto al
tema en- question, me parece que ell
buen critcrio de usted lie ahorraria las
molestias de elucidar 10 que yoy 4
decir.
Para explicar ol origen, ,hasta diyi-
no. de la aim embrionaria confedera-
ci0n antillana, mencionar& aunque sea
a la ligera, ell hecho, innegablemente
hist6rico, de que solo la mano de la
Providencia, para sus inexcrutables
designios, hizo que la primera terra
de importancia, que descubriese Colon
fuese Cuba, ell 28 de Octubre de 1893;
la segunda Santo Domingo, ell s de Di-
ciembre; y la tercera Puerto Rico el
10 de Noviembr de 1893. Y sin dete-
nernos pasemos ell lapse de tempo
hasta llegar al Tratado de Paris de 10
de Diciembre de 1898, base de la ac-
tual situaci6n de Cuba Y Puerto Rico.
Consta en- ese Tratado, que Espana
yendi6 y los Estados Unidos compra-
ron 4 las Filipinas, en- veinte millones
de dollarS;' Y todo 10 feo de la acci6n
es 1nicamente del mercador, que sabe
Dios 81 alg1n dia le dejara cuenta ese
negocio. Tambi6n Sc hace constar en-

LA CONFEDERATION ANTILLANA
AL sR. CARLOS CASANOVA

En- ell solicitado peri6dico &La Co
rrespondencia de Puerto Rico2, de fe-
cha del actual, he leido con mucho
gusto 10 que usted escribi6, acerca de
una ofrenda, pobre como cosa mia, que
publique en- este mismo diario ell 27
del pasado Agosto: en- recuerdo al fa-
llecido y nuestro amigo don Eugenio
Maria Hostos.
Hoy, al dirigirme usted, 10 hago
por su requerimiento; empezando por
darle mil gracias por los inmerecidos
elogios que me hace, pasando por
alto 10 que de momento no amerita la
atencion p1blica, me concrete 4 10 per-
tinente, tratar de la Confederation
antillana, que empieZa por la union de
Cuba Y Puerto Rico.
Me dice usted:
&La pregunta que anuncio Sc funda en-
estos conceptos, contenidos en- Ell
art1culo del senior Bas, & que ven
go retiriendome <...que muere dos
pasos de su cuna Hostos va muy
cercano ell dia de ge7'8e reaIisdd0
ell ideal por que trabaj6 mucho y
acaricio dulcemente en- su comba
tida vida: por la hermosa, noble y
grande Confederation AntIllana.2
Y mas adelante: ~..y agobiado
Hostos, mas que por los amos, POI
intermediates, tristezas y los in
convenientes de 10 inoportuno de
trabajar entonces pornuestro ideal:
la Confederation Antillana, que
hoy es cosa tan facil, como que la
hacen los Estados Unidos.
~ Sc me ocurre preguntar; iEsta
cercaa0 ol di0 de rerse ro0ifsad0
el ideal que acarici6 Hostos? 5Co-
mo, y por que medios1 iQu6 sin
tomas 8 senales 10 indican? Co
mo, de otra parte, realizan esa
confederation los Estados UnidosI
Espero, contiando en- la bondad del Sc
nor Bas, que deje desyanecidas
nuestras dudas, calmadas las des-
conhanzas de los muchos que We
mos aquel dia mas lejano, mas inn
possible cada yez.

hunt rabbits is an erroneous one, and
that he proposes to prosecute those
whom he finds out without the legal
permit regardless of whether they
avow that they are merely hunting
Dummies or not. As authority Mr..
Latin exhibits communication from
Deputy Warden \. ID. Barber. of Ham

reported opinion of the attorney gen
eral on this head has been misquOted
and that he has been directly inform

difficult to prove that Il man was
hunting anything but rabbits in the
face of his statement to the contrary.
and the game wardens would be seri
ously handicapped in their work. So
the game officers have decided to pro-
secute every person found out with
out license and to carry the matter
through the courts if it is fought.
Therefore no one who is not prepared
to take the matter up to the supreme
court is advised to take liberties with
the cotton tails without Il permit
to do so. law or no law.
Mr.. Latin says he has found that
the law is very generally being COM

A Brauuinu Match,

A Partisan paper relates the fol-
lowing story of contest in boast
ing which, it says, took place be-
tween three artists.
"NIy dear" said one of the artists,
yesterday painted a pine board
in imitation Of marble and did it
with such fidelity that when the
board was put into a pond of water
it sunk like a stone"
"Pooh!" said the second. "rhat
is nothing. Yesterday | happened
to hang up my thermometer on The
back Of the frame of my View In
the Arctic Regions and the mcrcu-
ny instantly went down to 20 de.
erees below zero"
"All that is nothing at ALL" said
the third artist, "lou know my

Why They Knelt.

Charles II. Of England was noted
for his good nature, and, although
he was sometimes called "Unthink-
ing Charles" yet his heedlcssness
was more an apparent than a real
characteristic. The extravaganza of
his reign went hand in hand with
his poverty, and on some occasions
even the royal table was but poorly
served.
There is a story told of Gram
mont, who one day dined in state
with the king.
Charles babe the count to notice
that he was served upon the knee,
mark of respect to guests of the
king not common at other courts.
81 thank your majesty for the ex-
PLANTATION" answered Grammont. 81
thought they were begging pardon
for giving you so bad a dinner"

Dead Mems Shoes,

1t is not generally known that a
special line of shoes is manufactured
for the undertaking trade. In APP
pearancc they differ to only a slight
extent from the shoes made for or
binary purposes, but there is no
leather in the soles, and they are
made entirely for show. They are
sold to the trade in assorted sizes
for prices varying slightly from
$3.50, and they answer every pur-
pose as well rs those costing five
times as much. It is said there is
only one factory in the country in
which they are manufactured, and,
considering the amount of orders
the firm receives all the year round,
this is probably correct. 1t is well
known that special lines are made
for burial purposes in various ar
ticlcs Of clothing, but it will he
news to many that shoes with light
pasteboard solos are made to 20 with
thom.-Exchangc.
