The Spanish Tories of the tewns now being dominated “the better class” are to be set over th Cuban Nationalists and every p! cratic paper in America will gapport the outrage. The followisg remark- able article and the heading over it are from the St. Louie Republic of August 16: SOME RABID CUBANS LOOKING FOR TROUELE. “Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 15.—The better class in Cuba favor the annex-|Sccusers to jail. ation of the island to the United| ™ade inquiries as to the oe WITH AIS FATHERS’ States and a majority of the masses is ready and anxious to accept the shelter and protection afforded by an American protectorate, but they are influenced by a certain class of rabid orators and breedera of sedi tion and rebellion against anything|¢ré* ~ smacking of law ax! order. This ioflammatory class demands urges the recognition of Cuba for the Cubans and epurns all offers or suggestions tending to prosperity under an American protectorate and excites popular discontent. This is exactly the class that pushes itself most into eyidence and whose views and opinions are most over heard and published.’ The men whom the Republic now describes as this‘‘in flammatory class” who commit the crime of “urging the recognition of Cuba for the Cu- bane,’ were tendered the sympathy of all the democrats by the last Dem ocratic National convention and were encouraged to go on in what the platform described as “their heroic struggle for liberty and indepea- dence.” endeavoring to force me out of the are endeavoring to besmirch my They are inspired by personal and political enmity to me.” “T am not the man to run in the face of fire,” he declares. “Some newspapers and some people are They Cabinet.

He then blew the head off with the weapon. Men, cick unto death, were left to lie and die in their tents, with no other attention than their sick com- rades could give them. Men who bad fought at Santiago were crowded into filthy ships, im- provised as transports, and sent back home as so many cattle, without salt in some cases, without medicine fre quently, and without ice almost al ways. Men too sick to move without help were fed on salt pork and soup made from 40 cans of tomatoes for 350 men, while ship loads of provi- sions, especially prepared for them, were left to rot.

She did not frown upon him, | and they were in each others com- wo- pany as much as possible. | All this did not escape the eyes of the husband His jealousy was ar- | roused, and, it is there were many stormy scenes in the family. One morning the elder Reynolds awoke to find that his wife and grown son had left him, taking the baby with them He pursued them and had them arrested The couple were placed ia jail,} where they were kept until Reynolds obtained a decr:e of divorcee Then} he elopers mirried ia the Quicey jail, ard left the place at once, coming bere in May, where they have siace resided.
