President Palma urged the Cuban peo-
PIE 10 guard jealously the ideals they
had obtained by means of Intervention.

alcalde having remarked that the gath
eripg was mostly composed of veter-
ans, President Palma assured them
be wanted to pay the army as badly as
anybody, because the payment was not
only an act of justice. but was neces-
sary to the reconstruction of the coun-
try. Nobody loved Cuban independence
more than himself. The only way to
sacrifice the republic would be to bring
sbouI a civil war. He believed there
was not one veteran in a thousand who
would not prefer to maintain the honor
OF Cuba, even 20 the extent of FORGETTING
his soldier's pay.
The Cubans having accepted United

ing their troubles, the President said
were under an obligation to follow those
ideals and prove themselves a peaceabie

the risque than she, and none infused
into her questionable wares more OF
the scent of the daffodiI and the mari

Her costumes were gorgeous in the
extreme, her jewels dazzling. One OF
her characteristics was the rapid chang
ing of her gowns. This was remarked
particularly when, four years ago, she
made an American tour.
1t was whispered that Fougere had
