Colonel D'Estrsmpes Is Remembered
With Gratitude by Many Foolish
and Unfortunate Visitors.

II you ever 90 down to Havana, run
into a rum den. tipple br and wake
up IN jall-as many an American does
you'll want TO meet Jose d'Estrampes.
Since Rowan carried the message to
Garcia there has never been on the
whole island of Cuba figure more
picturesque. more romantic. more
genuinely favored with tropical adven-
ture and romance than this man
D'Estrampes. AYERS a New York Sun
writer.
Colonel D'Estrampes-for he was Il
colonel. right beside Roosevelt mt San
Juan-is not native Born I'm New
Orleans. he there picked up his first
splutterings of Spanish. the language
that later facilitated his passage on
board a fruiter 10 Havana.
In Havana. always a hOtbed of pol
itks. D'Estrampes. tall, handsome and
oourtly. was soon recognized as a
friendly American and effective orator.
II wasn't long before his chair was
drawn up every night among those
other chairs clustered around the
small, handicapped saloon tables
over which Cubans wage their bitter
political campaigns. He was elected
10 congress and later TO the senate
and for his services in the war against
the Spaniards was commissioned
colonel.
All the influence which Col. Jose
d'EsTampes has accumulated through
these years he now employs to the
benefit Of his visiting countrymen. lie
can always exert little pull" To
help the down-and-out American.
II an American is locked up let him
send a messenger TO Col. Jose d'Es-
trampes and he'll get out of Jail with
out any diplomatic red tape. If a girl,
comes to Cuba with some travelling
vaudeville team. is stranded in
Havana, let her communicate with the
colonel. He'll arrange to house her
temporarily with one Of the many
wealthy families who always welcome
D'Estrampes and whomever he intro
duces.
You're a sort OF self-constituted
minister to Cuba. aren't you, coonelf'
he was asked. "Why do you take 50
much pains with all these unfortu-
nates?'
"Naw," drawled the colonel with n
sun-twisted smile and he waved his
saber-scarred right hand out toward
Key West, 90 miles across the water.
Nav, I'm no diplomat. Folks up in
washington send your diplomats down
here, your ministers and your consuls,
you know. Nav. wouldn't be one of
them. Too many bosses -
"But you take as much trouble with
Americans, colonel, as If you were a
consul"
"More. I guess" he admitted and
scratched his head. Put it amt dlplo-
macy. It's just a sort of friendly feel
