CUBA'S LAST BUCCANEERS.
Fate of Confrecinas, the Leader of
the Freebooters.

AS late as the year 1926 the waters
adjacent to Porto Rico were infested
by a bloodthirsty band of pirates led
by Spaniard named Confrecinas. 1t
was the proud boast of the buccaneer
chief that he neither gave nor asked
quarter. In March of the year men
toned Capt. John Drake Sloat, who
twenty-one years later raised the Amer
lean flag over California, was placed in
command of the sloop-of-war GrampuS,
with orders to proceed to the West In
dies and wipe the pirates off the ocean.
The Grampus cruised for some weeks
without catching sight of any pirate
vessel. One morning, while the sloop
was lying at anchor in the harbor of
San Juan, man who had Swum ashore
from a merchant vessel captured by
ConfrecinaS, reported that the pirate
brig was anchored in the Boca de In
fernos 6douth of HelDs-an obscure har-
Dor some miles up the coast, waiting
which was to sail from San Juan that
very dav.
Confrecinas knew the Grampus we'll
so to make sure of his prey, Capt. Sloat
placed a heavily armed crew and can
non loaded with grape on board the
schooner and sailed forth. The pirates,
unSuspecting any resistance. bore down
on the disguised vessel, with the black
flag and skull and crOSsbones at the
briggs masthead. Not a move was made
by Sloat and his crew until the vessels
were almost alongside, when the ma
rines arose from the deck and poured
a deadly fire into the brig. Confrecinas
rallied his men, and for some time kept
up running fight showing great skill
in manipulating his crippled vessel. He
was finally forced to run his brig
ashore. Forty of the crew, with the
buccaneer chief, were captured by wait
ing soldiers. They were taken to San
Juan, court-martialed the next day, and
shot. Confrecinas was the last to die.
When they attempted to bind his eyes
he threw the men aside, ridiculed the
priest and exclaimed in a loud voice:
hands, and / know how to die. Firer'
He fell, pierced by many bullets, the
last and most bloodthirsty of the bu-
cancers of that region.-Harper' s
Weekly.

to ride in our car. Let there be negro
conductor. who can feel it his duty
to assist the ladies and the infirm to

KNOCK ON WASHINGTON
Boston Negroes Ask the Presi-
dent to Cut His Acquaintance

Boston, Mass, Sept. 2-The Suffrage
League of Boston. negro organization,
today adopted resolutions declaring:
"Inasmuch as Booker T. Washington
has glorified the revised constitutions of
the South, has minimized the Jim Crow
car outrage has attacked the wisdom
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the constitution; has deprecat-
ed the primary Importance of the ball
lot; has preached to the colored people
of silent submission to intolerable con-
ditions and makes his people byword
and laughing stock before the world, he
is not a fit leader for the colored race
and no president who recognizes him
as a political leader should receive the
colored vote of the north.
Therefore, since President Roosevelt
has given him charge of the appoint
ment of all negroes of whatever state
in the union and has made him the
negro advisor as to all policies affecting
colOred Americans. in the interest of our
race we call on President Roosevelt to
dispense with Mr.. Washington as our
political spokesman"
