the war
Not a single bond" President Palma
says IN his dispatch, was given by me to
any person whatever in the United States
except for value received and none was

such insinuation is an insult not only to
tie Tilted States, which is the cause of
liberty and humanity did SO much for
Cuba, but also me personally"
The story that Palma denies is said to
have appeared In a pamphlet prepared
by the Cuban commissioners to the St.
Louis exposition showing how Cuba came
to be free and the various steps by which
her liberty was obtained In dealing with
the work of the junta and It's issues of
$2,s7o,6O0 worth of Cuban bonds in 1s96-97

certain purposes whereby they should

that In payment ne gave them bonds

W. r. = removed to this county long
20 = the time when he volunteered to
. TO the front in 1861, with Company
g. Sixth regiment of the Alabama In
fantry. He was perhaps In more severe
engagements with the Federals than any
other private in the Confederate service
His first service was at the seige of
Yorktown. Was captured at Boonsboro,
Md, September IA, 1862. and exchanged
December IS. 1862. He fought twenty
seven battles from the time he entered
the service till he was captured at Peters
burg, Va. March "a. 1865.
After the great civil conflict he began
farming again and was at one time easily
the first farmer of this section of Ala
bama. He was troubled In controlling
labor, gave up farming and became coun-
ty surveyor which office he filled to the
complete satisfaction of all, making a re-
cord of being one of the most pains-tak-
ing surveyors and most accurate In all
his surveys. He removed from this coun-
ty to Montgomery about fifteen years ago
where he has continued to follow his pro-
fession of surveying Till his death.
He was a son of Peyton Alexander,
noted Methodist minister, who preached
in several sections Of this state prior to
the civil war. He leaves q brother, John
L. Alexander of this place, and several
sisters.
Mr. Robert M. Alexander was a lifelong
democrat. He will be much missed in his
