"I promised to let you hear from me

"On 1 April M President Roosevelt
received us, and wished us God -speed
on our journey, and at 7 p. m. we left
the Pennsylvania railroad station,
Washington, D. C on a ''special twin
composed 'of private cars, of which my
brother was one. Our Hot stop was
at Columbia. S. C, where "we were join
ed by my three Mrs. T. Sloane
Crawford, the Misscs'ljllirtij and Wilton
Karle, and by Lieutenant Governor
Sloane.
"Our nest stop wu nt dacksonvUlc,
Fla.. at 2:40 p. m. where an uncle , of
mine, Raylis K.ni was to have join
ed us, but failed to 'So so, Our-tjiird
stop was at St. Augustine, Fla.. where
we remained from 0:30 p. in. to lO-.IW
p. in mi April tith. being entertained at
the "Aleawir," which remained open too
yond the season especially for our bout
fit Our fourth stop was at Palm Hcaeh,
Fla., where we remained from 8.15 .

J entertained at "The Breaker," Mr.
Flagler s swellest hotel, which alo re
mained oM'n for ouv especial lienetlt.
Our fifth step was at Miami, Fla.. where
we remained from 6:35 a. m., April 8th,
until !J a, m., April lth. being enter
tained at "Halcyon Hall." We were to
have been entertained at Mr. Flagler's
"Royal Palms" but fortunately it had
to close about ten days before our ar
rival and so the "Smollen House," and
"Halcyon FLjH" weiV- M op, es
pecially for us. We left Miami at ! a.
m April 9th, m the Snith Carolina
steamer "Shinneeott." and after a very
pleasant day's trip through Florada
Keys, arrived at Key West at 10 p. ny
of the same day. We were entertained
there, at the beautiful City Club House
until 1 p. m. of April 10th, when we em
barked on the steamer 'Halifax." ar
riving at Havana at 0 a. m. of the same
day. As soon as we got through with
the quarantine (was given some of my
own medicine) and customs officials at
"1-a Machina" landing wharf, we were
brought up in elegant phaetons, two in
each, to this hotel. Since then the
crowd of seventy-five has divided into
little parties, according to ages, tempers
and desires, and each party ha gone its
own way.
"Our little party consists of the
youngest people in the bunch: Major
John H. Earle, Mrs. T. Sloane-Craw ford,

Francisco. Wo spent the first day rid
ing all over the city in phaetons. That
night we attended a game of Mai Al ii"
(the great Cuban National game).
"We visited the wreck of the Maine
in the morning, and in the afternoon,
the botanical gardens; then we went to
a fort at which Col. Crittenden and some
titty American filibuster, were event
cd, some sivty' years ag'i. We alo saw
the cell in which Mis Cisnmo was
imprisoned. t the beginning of the
SpanisliAnieiican wav. her htuband be
ing nn eecinl friend of my brother.
Major Earle. Finally, he took n to a
lieautiful little summer resort near the
city, where we enjoyed the hospitality
of the3 Country Club and Yacht Club
tiud tried a little Culwtn sea bathing.
1-ast night we wert entertained at. the
American Club of Havana. This morn
ing early we were taken through on - of
the large tobacco factories and each of
us, Indie included, wa presented with
a nice bunch -of cigar.
"At 10 a. ill. we went as the guests of
President .1. S. McMillin of the associa
tion for a spin in touring auto for a
distance of fifty mile from Havana,
ending in the town cf Guincro, where
we all had an excellent luvakfut On
the trip we visited numerous sugar, co
coanut. orange, banana, pineapple to
bacco and other plantation and a huge
sugar mill. However a great strike is
on today and we could see neither a
sugar nor a tolweeo factory in opera
tion; even. the street cars cabs ear and
phaetons niv being run by 'scabs.'
"The women here smoke cigarette
and cigars and even children, five or
six year of age may W seen smoking.
The kids under ten. or rather some of
them, boys and girl, go absolutely
naked in the country district. In the
evening the pretty girls stand inside
of barred window and smile at the
boys passing by. an acquaintance oc
casionally stopping to talk a little,
There doesn't seem to be any color line
in Cuba, the races, white and negro,
apparently associating in jwrfect amity.
"We returned troiu our trip about 6
p. in. and 1 had an invitation to vi-it
the leper hospital today, but had prev
iously accepted Mr. McMillin' invita
tion, so could not go. The Cuban have
an early breakfast, (-(insisting of fruit,
coffee, bread and buter. fim tl to ! a.
m. and solid breakfast from !) a. m. to
1 p. m.; then dinner from 5 to 11 p. in.
Many of the houses are flat roofed, and
in the evenings ttie families sit on the
roofs. In fact I am writing thU letter
at 3 a. in. on the roof of the hotel
'Telegrapho.'
"We leave at 11 a. in. tomorrow for
Key West, where we will spend the
night. We will then rejoin our spcciil
train, wjiich await us at Miami, and
proceed up the Florida coast line rail
way, and the Southern Railway to
Washington, 1). C, stopping at Miami,
St. Augustine, Jacksonville, -le-sup, Sa
vannah. Columbia. Charlotte. Lynch
burg, Charlottesville, and Washington,
and disbanding at the latter place.
"The convention next year will lie at
Seattle in duly or August, and a sub
sequent trip will lie made through
Southeastern Alaska. Last year the
meeting was in Dead wood, S. D., and
the trip, was made through the Western
and Pacific States, with stops at all
the principal cities, and visit to the
Portland expo-it ion and the Yoseniite
Valley.
"Ralph Earle of Chicago, the official
photographer of the association, is mak
ing an elaborate set of pictures of this
trip, and I hope to be able to show you
them before long.
"The original Flora Dora Company of
Xew York is staying here now and in
cludes some very pretty girls. Some of
the pettiest are at this hotel, and it
is amusing to watch the Cuban chappies
get introductions to them and escort
them about, when neither can under
stand the other's language. We were
to have met President Palina on this
trip, but he is ill in bed, so we have
had to forego that dr-tinction and
pleasure."
It was Claire Monfeith's first appear
ance in Spokane tiinee he has "won his
spurs." Mr. Monteith's voice is a deep
plaintiff baritone, and he sings with
great feeling, yet entirely without af
fectation. Both artists were greeted
with storm of applause at each ap
pearand; and enthusiastic encores fol
lowed almost every number. Spokes
