Mr. Hubbard, a young busi¬

a girl while here.
Miss Alma Cagle, of Lithou

Some of the war claims which
are being filed at Washington
illustrate what there is of pa
triotism and gratitude in cer¬
tain of the Cuban “patriots.”
The claim of Dr. Castillo of San
dago is a case in point. He own
ed some cocoanut trees near
Siboney, lie alleges that tlie
trees were injured by the Amer¬
ican troops, and he modestly re¬
quests that he be paid $35,000
damages. He wishes this gov.
ernment to pay him and his
people for toe privilege of free¬
ing them from the Spanish yoke,
as it were. Those Cubans
have pitched upon our attenuat¬
ed Uncle Sam as a party having
a leg peculiarly fitted for pulling
may find to their sorrow before
a great while that the leg is
particularly vigorous in kicking.

that the word protocol comes
from two Greek words—‘‘pro

the introduction of a treaty or
public document, glued on as a
preliminary of index. In dip¬
lomacy protocol means the min¬

original copy of any dispatch,
treaty or document. A proto¬

is for extraordinary activity iu

The voter stands by the Dem«
