To this officer Holton made his way. _| “I1d you receive any word from the PresiZent?” he asked. The naval officer some days previ- ously had requested General Shafter to solicit a message from the Presl- dent disclaiming any idea of holdlng f | and annexing Cuba after the close of hostilities, It was well understood by Shafter, or rather by his aide, why Holton proffered the request. S p L Now, in reply to his question, the aide dived into his tent and emerged bearing a cable dispatch sent from Washington via K2y West and Guan- ’ tanamo. It was addressed to General Fat Turkey S, Monday, lb. - 25 cents Shafter and read as follows: “The President states herewith that White Gr: pets, 20c.
