President to be Petitioned to Permit the Shows to Continue After American Occupation.
    At a recent meeting of the professional bullfighters in Havana it was determined to forward to President McKinley a petition that, after the beginning of American control, there be no legal steps taken to prevent them from carrying on their amusement. The bullfighters declare that their livelihood depends upon their ability to continue their chosen profession, and that it would be a sore disappointment to the people of Havana if their chief entertainment was forbidden.
    The gladiators will state that Gen. Lee, during his residence in Cuba, never missed an opportunity to witness a fight. They also declare that all Americans who have witnessed a bullfight are greatly pleased with the performance.
