fight, he received many congratulations
from Colorado by constituents who be-

New York Paper.
Claude P. Greneker, the industrious
press agent of the Winter Garden, was
never in the army, in fact, he does
not know the butt from the muzzle OF
a musket, but he is some general, and
can lead troops to battle or to the
theatre like a West Point graduate.
Thursday night at his invitation
400 soldiers of the Cuban army here
to attend the unyeiling of the Maine
Monument were to attend the perform
ance of "The Honeymoon Express" at
the Winter Garden, and in honor OF
the occasion nearly every Cuban resi-
dent of New York had assembled at
the PLAYHOUSE to give them welcome.
The soldiers, however, did not put IN
an appearance at the appointed hour.
The curtain went up, and the first act
was commenced, but no Cuban SOL
diers showed up.
Greneker stepped to the phone and
through the Maine Monument commit
tee, finally discovered the army and
navy in the Sixty-ninth Regiment Ar
mory, Twentysixth street and LeXing-
ton avenue, where the men have been
assigned quarters during their stay

Greneker asked plaintiVely.

we can't because the general isn't

Fifteen minutes later Greneker was
in the armory. Standing in the line
ready for marching orders he found
200 soldiers in khaki uniforms and as
many marines in blue.

Greneker, meaning Luis More y del

English speaking member. eve have
no idea and without his orders we
cannot march,
"Oh, yes, you can," Greneker assur-
ed him." Tell your men to fall in and
follow me and it will be all right"
Gen. Greneker mounted his untrust-
worthy taxicab and at the head of the
column crossed to Fifth avenue and
advanced up the avenue,
At Forty-second street traffic po-
liceman permitted Gen. Greneker's
flat-wheeled taxi to cross ard then
whistled the battalion to a s.andstill.
"Here!" shouted the Gen. Greneker,
poking his head from the dark in
terror, "that is the Cuban army and
navy, and I need them sorely. Please

Gen. Greneker dismounted from the

the assembled spectators he spied a
dapper little man in evening dress
who, by his appearance, was plainly
Cuban dignitary.
"Where in several things - said Gen.
Greneker to the smiling little man,
"is this Gen. More? Why isn't he here
to look after his troops?"
81 am Gen. More said the little
man, still smiling. Like you, 1 have

At 10 o'clock Claude Greneker smil-
