same control over De Rodas that expelled
Dulce from his position.
It is reported that formidable organization
of Spaniards in the interest Of the Cespedes
government in every part of the island has
been exposed through the means of a spy. The
object Of this organization was to counterfeit
that of the volunteers and to strengthen the
Cubans in the field in the means necessary to
carry on the contest This they did, but the
exposure has driven hundreds INTO tne Ounan
army, and given them moral and physical
power which will be terror to the Spanish
troops and volunteers
It's reported that De Rodas contenplates
resigning and returning to Spain, believing
that his further continuance in his present po-
sitiOn would detract from his well earned rep
utation.

THE ALASKA BRIBERY CASE.
NEW YORK, Feb 4-The Posts Washington
dispatch says the evidence of Frederick p.
Stanton before the Committee on Public Ex-
penditures, completes the history of the So
called Alaska corruption fraud. dis testimo-
ny is to the effect while the bill appropriating
money was pending in the House, he was APP
preached by w. H. Painter, correspondent of
the New York Sun and Philadelphia Enquir-
er, and asked whether he (Stanton) was on
good terms with Walker, Stanton answering
IN the affirmative. Painter then stated that he
understood that Walker had control of large
sum of money to be used in pushing the bill
through Congress. Painter requested Stanton
to inform Walker that he and a number of his
friends in Congress were opposed to the pas
sage of the bill, but if Walker would consent
to pay him (Painter) fixed amount, he would
agree to advocate the passage of the bill, and
have his Congressional friends do the same.
Mr.. Stanton informed Painter that he did
not believe Walker held any sum of money for
such purpose, but would notify him Of the
proposition.
Walker Indignantly declined to have any,
thing to do with Painter. Upon being inform
ed that his offer was not entertained, Painter
told Dir. Stanton that in that case his friends
would defeat the bill, and was afterwards ac-
tive in trying to carry into execution his threat.
1t appears from the statements of Stanton
and Walker, that Martin, who has figured so
conspicuonsly in this case, was merely con-
federate of Painter in the attempt to levy
black mail upon Walker and the Russian min
lster. Efforts were made during the past few
days to prevent Stanton being subpened, and
he was informed by Painters friends that if he
testified before the committee to Painters in
Jury, he would be attacked through the press
ana his business broken up Painter in addi-
tlon to being correspondent is also clerk of the
House Committee on Postal Affairs. This
matter has caused profound sensation among
newspaper men here.
