thanks were due for the management of the
Lincoln birthday celebration and Mr.. over
street Responded briefly, gracefully diSclalm-
ing the credit which had been given him.
And then came what was really the feature
OF the banquet-a response by Minister que
Seda, OF Cuba. In torrent OF lmpaSSloned
eloquence which defed the stenographers'
skill, the dark-haired, handsome cuban
swept the banquet hall with volley after
voiley of enthusiastic applause. The pas
sionate gestures and delicious accent or the

rounded periods, and he established for him.
self reputation as an orator or rank. once
and again he fervently thanked the AmeTl-
can people who had given his land its free
dom. II thank your women for the pray
ers they sent to heaven for stricken peo-
ple," he said, land for the flower of youth
which swept down upon the crumbling walls
of oppression and set thereon the little nag
with the lone star side by side with the
great starry banner of the master Re-
public" The United States, he declared, is
destined to become the peace maker among
nations by reason of the magnificance of it's
army and navy and the nobility of its ma
tonal aims. With intense dramatic effect
the minister pictured the struggles of his
countrymen, and with an intensity of pathos
rarely possible he told of his last words with
the martyred Mckinley. I'VE trusted the
words of the nation of Lincoln and McKin-
ley he said, and that word was redeemed
unsullied and unbroken, and henceforth side
by side with the great Republic shall stride
the smaller Cuba, secure in her freedom
and happy in the friendship of the most
glorious nation OF history"
