Fair.

As anyone acquainted with American’history knows, the Spanish-
American War was the means of freeing Cuba from the yoke of Spain
and giving independence to those hardy patriots, like General Garcia,
who were willing to sacrifice all that their country might be free. Gar-
cia, in particular, was very active in the insurrection, and at the time of
delivery of the famous “Message to Garcia” was practically at the mercy
of pursuing Spanish soldiers. Private Rowan had been called into the of-
fice of President McKinley at Washington and given a message to be
delivered to General Garcia “Somewhere in Cuba”. How well Private
Rowan succeeded in his mission has been told in song and story: Over
the seas, through brush and up mountain sides he struggled, a stranger
in a strange land . . . dogged determination, however, leading him to his
objective three, weeks from the time he left Washington!

mountain fastness high up in the hills of Cuba; a little band of rag-
ged patriots making a last desperate stand against the overwhelming
odds of well-trained, well-fed, well-clothed Spanish soldiers. Hope had
dwindled as the long-expected assistance from the great and powerful
United States still seemed far in the distance. General Garcia, in com-
mand, was exhorting his patriots to stand firm yet a while longer, when
his speech was interrupted by the entrance of still another adventurer
