Sumner Bird, the Progressive, comes
next to Walsh Under Augustus T..

to third place, which is humiliation for
the grand old party. Eugene Noble

pursuit of Il fourth term at the tail

ONE SWEET BREATH OF HOME
Pretty Incident In Porto Rico After

The American commissioners of
evacuation had been in Porto Rico's
capital perhaps two weeks. 1t was
lonely at the hotel There were. be-
sides the commissioners and their
STATS, a dozen or fifteen other Amer
leans about the place, mostly CORE
spondents and merchants, who were
following closely in the wake of the
army and navy for business reasons.
They all hobnobbed together in a
brotherly sort of way, but the Ian
guage all about them was Spanish
which none understood except Adj
miral Schley. The proprietor of the
hotel was a Spaniard, the cooking
was essentially Spanish, the one bath
room was also essentially Spanish.

spite the courtesy OF the Spaniards
and the natives, It was not very
pleasant Everyone was longong for

One evening after a particularly
bad dinner the Americans had gath
cred In the interior court of the hotel
to talk over matters Admiral Schley
was naturally the center OF the group.
Next him sat General Gordon. while
the generals son, lieutenant In the
army, and Lieutoaants Sears and
Wells and Ensign McCauley. OF the
Admirals staff. were close by. While
they we're talking there entered q
dark-haired, dark-skinned girl who
looked TO be no more than Is years of
age. She must have been older, for
later 1t developed that she was
wife. With her was her husband
who on this occasion was mistaken
for her father The girl strolled non
chalantly to the plano and her hus-
band took chair by her side Run
ming her fingers lightly over the keys
she played some Spanish air. For
moment then she stopped and rip
pie Of polite applause ran around the
room
The girl turned half way on her
stool, smiled pleasantly and again
touched the keys with her fingers. And

this defiance, to- their flags But no
one said word In opposition, no
doubt accepting the situation as part
of the transformation then in process.
Not for many a day had that song
been played In San Juan, because
even to hum It on the street would
have served as a signal for the mob
to rise. But this Porto Rican girl
had broken the ice and thereafter
there was always the solace of Amer
