The movement envisions a Cuban patriot army unit under Gen Castello with a Cuban major in command and 3 captains, 6 lieutenants, 10 sergeants, and 240 enlisted men. The officers must have held equal or higher Cuban ranks, enabling better Cubans to take key government roles, while delay in evacuation risks trade disruption as Spain clings to control amid anticipated American dominance in Cuba.

In Boston a crowd leaves during the Star Spangled Banner at an opera house Sunday. Major George F. Dow, surgeon of the Sixth Massachusetts volunteers, promoted to major, returns from Porto Rico briefly, then sails again. A night paddling escape along the Merrimack inspires Kipling imagery as other local notes roll by.
Brooke’s Chicago Marine band gave two good concerts at the opera house with soldiers invited to the afternoon show. Miss Sibyl Sammis and Mr. Marshall Lufsky drew encores, and the program featured "Our Nation's Guard" and "Page's Aria." The evening concert pleased a full house with "Battle Cry of Freedom" and "The Star Spangled Banner" closing. Faust at the same venue stars Lewis Morrison in Mephisto on a farewell tour, with a premier production said to be the grandest and most expensive this season.
A. G. Pollard & Co offers copper kettle nickel plated inside and out, fully warranted, at 50 cents each for sizes 7 and 8 after a bulk purchase of 500 units to secure the price.

The American Baptist Publication Society in Philadelphia publishes a readable little volume by Mrs. Alexander Blackburn, widow of a former First Baptist pastor.

The piece notes the book’s potential appeal in Lowell church circles and cites remarks from the author on courteous conduct and practical roles for a pastor’s wife.
