The secretary of the Cuban embassy, Senor Pedro Rodriquez de Capote, who recently came to Washington with his bride, has many frlends to welcome his return, as he was secretary of the Cuban legation just after the World War, when the present secre. tary of state m Havana, Senor Man- uel de Cespedes, was Minister and be- fore Senor de Cespedes was made Am- bassador. Senor de Capote has been secretary of his country’s legation in London, and being transferred to this capital, he went to Havana for his marriage to Senorita Carlna Garcla Montero, which_took place May 26. It had been intended to have this func- tion a brilliant social event, but the recent death of the bride's father, Dr. Pelayo Garcia, caused it to be most quietly solemnized in the Church of the Merced, with only relatives and close friends in attendance. The Cuban diplomat and his.bride, after a brief honeymoon passed partly in Cuba and partly in New York City and vicinity, are now established at Wardman Park Hotel, and as both are observing mourning they will not par- ticipate in such amenities as the waning season will contain. Dr. de Capote, for he holds the LL. D, from the University of Havana, which is also his alma mater in classical stud- ies, is amember of one of Cuba's old- est and most distinguished familles, and can claim this through three lines of de Capote. Kernandez and Rodri- quez. Originally Spanish officials in the island, their sympathies went to the colonists and they were among the patriots who participated in the struggle for independence. The secre- tary of the embassy was too young, however, to take active part in the war of liberation. Of recent yvears the family of de Capote has been among the largest sugar planters of Cuba and the father of the secretary, for whom he i named, is a power in this taple of C'uba's industry. | _Senora de Capote’s father (Continued on Sixth Page.) — st - “ unpERWOOD .
