members These sloi ies have bean
exploded by the Judge’s untimely
death at Havana, and, ior the thst,
time we are authoritatively informed
of the true nature of iiis important
mission. Iu was ail for }ove. We
are told a heart, history, that is pecu
liarly delicate and romantic, and such
a one as Congressmen are not often
suspected of possessing. The story
is circumstantially this:
Some time ago, at the city of New
Orleans, lie met a young lady, a na
tive of Cuba, who was visiting this
country with her parents, and be
tween whom and Judge Leonard a
warm attachment sprang up, which
ripened into love. A marriage en
gagement was the result, but the
parents of the young lady, in conse
quence of her youth, opposed the
match, and JudgjCj Leonard was not
permitted to see the object of his af-
eetions except in the presence of her
parents. When the time arrived for
the departure of the Cuban and his
family from New Orleans, the young
lady manifested -Borne reluctance to
return home, but an arrangement was
finally made by which shea. d Judge
Leonard were to be permitted to bold
free and unrestricted correspondence
through the mails. After her de
parture, Judge tjeonard wrote her
several letters, to which no answeis
were received, which naturally an
noyed him very much, and gave rise
to the suspicion that his letters had
been intercepted and the young lady
prevented from commu ieuling with
him. Alter a long interval, he re
ceived a brief letter from the lady,
which simply stat» d that she had not
heard from him since her return to
Cuba, and that she could not hear
from him. This brief letter bore
evidence of having been hurriedly
written, gunl its broken and soiled
condition led Judge Leonard to sus
pect that it had been carried some
distance by a negro to be secretI\
mailed. Alter writing other letters
and waiting anxiously for replies, he
became convinced that the parents of
t!ie lady were not acting in good faith,
and lie determined to visit Cuba. ?
The condition of h;s mind rnay 1 e
imagined when he beseiged the De
partments cf the Government and the
Spanish Ministry at Washington for
aid and comtbrt. The Piesideiit
wrote a personal letter to the Consul
General at Havana, and, just helbn
stalling, the Judge received a cable
gram that his .inamorata had been
sent —that is banished—to a lvniott
plantation. This drove the pool
Congressman nearly Irantic and idlaiis
ot S ate were of no further impor
tance to li m, while his lady love, tor
mented by cruel parents, languished
in solitude and prisonl'ikc environ
m. m. The splendid beauties of the
Federal capital, the dazzling enter
tainments, the Texas Pacific Railroad,
the discussion on “ stum page ” and
other ravishing allurements could not
wean his sick fancy from the dusk-
eyed maiden who pined in a storm-
vexed island for love of him. He
• won the sympathies of Madame Man
tilla, the beautiful wife of the Spanish
Minister, and tiiat lady wrote such a
letter na a lady would write in such a
case, urging the Captain General to
do everything possible to unite the
lovers. Armed with these potent
auxiliaries, lie set sail. On Ma.cli 7tli
he wri te that lie had seen the lady
in the presence of her parents. No
details as to the success of his mis
sion were furnished, but from the
general ton&of despondency pervad
ing the letter his friends believe he
failed to obtain the consent of the
parents Jo his addresses to their
