Dear John:
There is no longer any doubt that General Maceo was killed. The stories that he was still alive were probably made up by the Cubans, for fear their countrymen might lose heart if they knew the truth.
You will see in this number of your paper that General Rivera is not to be shot, according to the present reports. Editor.
Dear Editor:
I enjoy The Great Round World immensely, and look forward to its coming every week. I like to read about Greece and Cuba, and if I were Grecian I would gladly join in the war. I hope Greece will win, for I pity the poor Cretans under the cruel rule of Turkey. Wishing your paper many years of success, I am,
Your friend and reader,
Harold R.

Dear Harold:
Many thanks for your pretty letter. Write to us again soon.
Editor.
Dear Mr. Editor:
I want to ask you about the Cometa. Did the Admiral ever bring her into the Havana harbor as he boasted that he would, with flags flying on her?
