The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1914-04-03

mander-in-chief was in wretched phys
icai condition, and the able and en-
ergetic Lieutenant Miley was attend
ing to many of the executive details.
To this officer Holton made his way
did you receive any word from
the Presidentr he asked.
The naval officer some days previ-
ously had requested General Shafter
to solicit a message from the Presi-
dent disclaiming any idea of holding
and annexing Cuba after the close Of
hostilities. 1t was well understood
by Shafter, or rather by his aide, why
Holton proffered the request.
Now, In reply to his question, the
aide dived into his tent and emerged
bearing cable dispatch sent from
Washington via Key West and Guam
tanamo. 1t was addressed to General
Shafter and read as follows:
"The President states herewith that
hostilities against the Kingdom of
Spain were instituted with the sole
purpose of liberatlng Cuba from Span
ish rule. 1t is our wish that. thus
free, she shall take her proud place
among the republics of America"
"Goodl" exclaimed Holton, after
reading the message. Nothing am
biguous about that, is there?"
Not thing" laughed Miley. 81
suppose you want this
ut would be invaluable" responded
Holton eagerly. May take it?"
For reply, the tall, weather-beaten
army officer handed Holton the cable
gram.
At sunset he proceeded to the spot
suggested by young La Tossa, and
found him already mounted and hold
ing another pony by the bride.
you are on time" he said. This
is your horse, and l suggest we start
at once"
For an hour they rode in silence,
and finally paused in a copse of woods
outside the little settlement called Sc
villa. Here the young Cuban dis
mounted. and Holton did likewise,
looking inquiringly at the boy. The
latter smiled half mockingly, and Hol-
ton, advancing to him, placed his
hand upon his arm. while he regarded
the youth with curious eyes.
you make me think very much OF
your sister," he said.
do II" The fellow laughed. You
care for my sister, them"
Holton flashed back quick glance
at the boy.
Care for her! Look here, young
ster. care for her so much that If
she doesn't look out I'm going to
be your brother some day."
A laugh broke from La Tossa.
II have heard her say pretty much
the same thing" he chuckled,
Holton took both his shoulders in
mighty grip.
You havel" he cried. Quick now,
boy, are you joking?"
The other wriggled away and placed
his hand ruefully upon his shoulder.
you needn't crush my bones in
he grumbled. "Of course it's true"
Holton leaped upon the pony.
Come on. Let's go to her." His
tone was as ardent as cavaliers.
Not now" was the laughing reply
I'VE must stay here until 1t is dark. u
Young La Tossa pointed toward a
crumbling building.

of that roof" he asked. well, have

Two or three faint cheers drifted
shoreward; but for the most part there
was silence. Boats manned by Ameri-
can sailors were about all the Spanish.
vessels, which, having left the har-
Dor so proudly and SO defiantly but
little while before, were now merely
smoking. burning wrecks
well, it was over. What would
happen now? The harbor 3forts were
still to be subdued, and 1t was out of
the question that Sampson would at
tempt to rush them this day. No, Hol-
ton could see that the army still had
its part to play, and that, as a conse-
quence, his work was far from COM
pleted
His duty was perfectly clear; and
while he was able to drag one foot
after another, it's stern behests were
to be obeyed. His place was at Gar
cias headquarters-the sooner he
took 1t the better.
After last. lingering look at the
scene below he turned inland, but
had not gone more than two hundred
yards when he realized that his sore
feet were not adapted to rapid prog
ress.
In short, he felt that, as compared
TO his normal condition, he was but
half man, and very miserable and
pitifui half at that. Still, with fire.
. quent halts he made his way toward
the American lines, and by dusk he
was again among the rifle-pits of the
army.
A flag of truce was wandering over
the hillside, and in answer to Holton's
query an officer told him that General
Shafter was sending In word to Toral
that, now the feet was destroyed, he
had better surrender and have done
with further bloodshed. So everyone
waited until the truce party returned
from it's mission.
They had not made, 1t was learned,
great progress with the Spanish com
mander He was quite content with
the situation, he said, and, moreover,
he had good information that the men
from the United States we're not doing
very well In this climate.
In a word, he thought 1t advisable
TO oppose to the utmost extremity the
advance of the Americans. A reply
similar in its nature had been sent to
Admiral Sampson, who, as though in
spite. dropped a few shells into the
city, and then desisted In order to give
Toral time for the thirteen-inch mes
sengers to sing home.
The destruction of Cervera's feet
was regarded as having simplifed the
task that lay before the Americans,
but no one knew exactly what the de-
velopments would be. The general
surmise was that Toral would event
ually surrender, and II that was the
case there was disinclination on the
part of the brigade commanders to
shed unnecessary blood.
In the morning Holton was awak-
ened by a bombardment which con-
tinued for half an hour. The men In
the trenches got into action with their
Krags and the Spaniards responded.
The result was spirited session.
when ended as abruptly as 1t began.

the coming of Christianity to that
country. There was no reason to
doubt that Christianity was brought
to Wales by Christians in the Roman
army. There was also the action of
King Lucius of Britain, who sent am
bassadors to Pope Eleutherius in the
third century; and it is a curious fact
that five churches in South Wales,
within easy distance of Cardiff, date
their foundation from the coming of
missionaries who were sent by that
Pope
Father Thurston, the Jesuit author
and critic, in his paper on the Ritual
of Holy Communion, observed that
there were three things in that early
ritual worth noticing: the laity re.
ceived the Holy Communion in their
hands before partaking of the Sacred
Host; they also partook of the chalice
and thus received communion in two
kinds or under both species; lay peo-
pie in case of necessity could bring
Holy Communion to the sick or dying
1t is evident that this laXity of prac-
tice opened the door for abuses which
were corrected by more stringent
