He then came to the United States for the purpose of electioneering,
stump-speaking, etc., all to benefit the government. He then became a
United States interpreter in the Philippines from 1896 to 1902, at a
salary of $75 per month and expenses. He then returned to Porto Rico,
where he remained until 1910. Following this he attended the funerals

Corps at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D.C. As one of the main
reasons why they had it in for him he gives the following: There was a
car line running from Fort D. A. Russell to Cheyenne, the fare being

charge of the canteen he had it in his power to approve or disapprove
of this reduction. He disapproved of it because he didn't think that
