FEAR NEGRO DOMINATION
A Havana Man Who Says Cubans
Do Not Want a Republic.
Home Government, or United States
Protectorate, But Not a Republic
with Universal Suffrage.

Quarantine, s. l., Aug. 12.-The Ward
Line steamer Seneca, from Mexican and
Cuban ports, arrived early this morning
at Quarantine. One OF the Hav ana
passengers in speaking of the affairs
at that place says that on August Z, the
day before the Seneca sailed, Captain
General Martinez Campos called together
all OF the volunteer organizations and
demanded the transfer to the regular
army of 100 men from each camp. Gen
eral Indignation prevails among thes cor
ganiZations, but the order Will be en-
forced.
The insurrection is more widespread
than we of Havana are allowed To believe,
and Campos viii not last long He was
caught in a bad trap at Bayamo, and but
for the impulsive action OF the Cuban gen.
eral, Maceo, who precipitated his attack,
Campos would certainly have been cap
tured. The insurgents win i'll every fight"
In the past four months the Spanish
forces have lost by disease, drunkenness
and killed in battle fully 10 900 men.
No reports are allowed TO be circulated
concerning losses i'll battle, but the authori-
ties admit that in this period 10 600
have died from disease or excessive indUl-
gence in food or drink
Thirty thousand insurgents are known
to be in the field, over-running the coun-
try and making their camps in the noun
tain Businesses, from whence they sally
To strike blow and return to camp, de-
pending on their rapid movements to discon-
cert the enemy. They have asked the sym
pathiZers of the revolution, of whom there
are about 600 in the city and suburbs
of Havana, why they do not capture and &C.
cUpy Santiago or some other important city.
This they claim that they could do but
their plans as To the future would not per-
NIT
That is to say, a large majority Of the
Inhabitants of Cuba are negroes, and inde-
pendeuce would mean negro government.
If independence could be secured with
the establishment OF protectorate under
the United States or some other strong
government, then the question would soon
be settled. Failing in this, the general
desire is To secure home rule from the
mother country The capture OF an i'm
portant sea coast town would be followed
by the recognition of their rights as
beihgerents. Until sCme definite plan can
be settled the guerilla warfare viii be
continued. A large majority of the people
are hoping for concession from Spain in
preference to independence, as the feasi-
bility OF a republic without negro domiua-
ton would be difficult to obtain.

SPEARE STRIKES HIS TENT
New Alexandria Company's Offices
Have Been Removed.
He Is Said to Have Fled TO Virginia
Soil for Reasons Well
KNOWN.

Luther ". Spear, general manager of the
New Alexandria Improvement Company,
has not as yet been apprehended on the
warrant issued for his arrest upon the
complaint Of man Eancd Hall, who says
he has been vicumized by the Napoleonic
real estate agent.
From present indications it is probable
that MIR. Spear may be able 20 maintain
the privilege of breathing free air ,unfiltered
through prison bars, for some time TO come,
unless Il sufficiently FERROUS charge can
be brought against him to justify the
Governor of Virginia in delivering him to
the District authorities.
Mr.. Spear evidently had premonition Of
impending evil. His console nee either
troubled him or else he possessed the fac
ulty of further insight through a milestone
than is usually allotted to the ordinary
mortal. He even took into his calculations
the far-reaching arm of the law and just
how near he could come to its clutches
and still evade them
AS 4 consequence ofthis judicious discrimi-
nation ard remarkable foresight Mr. Spear
took to the woods, metaphorically speak
spicUous quarters in room II ON the second
floor OF the Washington Loan and Trust
Conpanys building and removed all evil
dences of his legal residence TO New Alex
andria.
This step was presumably taken to dis
courage the bringing Of embarrassin suits
in this city, as the law stipulates that a,
suit must be entered where the regular
offices of au incorporated company is
located.
Mr.. Spear received enough warning
to Justify his premonitions OF an approach
ing catastrophe by the repeated visits
OF importuuative clients, who sought TO
ascertain when the party of the first part
would perform his share Of the contract.
These evidences of coming climax led
him to believe that il would be far prefer
able 10 have his victims pay their respects
TO him upon Virginia soil
AS a result Of this sound rea soning Mr.
Spear moved his desk and other office
belongings TO the paper city beyond the
river, aud the places that knew him here
will probably know him no more until
the legal eutanglemeuts which threaten
his bodily Incarceration have been rolled
away.

Great Contest for Prizesa the Bath hin
Reach

Great Cont est for Prizes the Bathing
Beach.
The boys at the bathing beach are hard at
work getting ready for a swimming car
nivaI that will take place en- August 21
The event will be quite q feature in the
Washington youths aquatic experiences s
of the season, and it is expected that almost
every boy who lives within sight of the Cep-
itol Will be on hand to witness the swim
ming.
The races will be open only to the patrons
of the bathing beach, and outsiders are in
eligible to compete, The management
will be under the direction of representa-
tives Of the various Washington dailies
one being selected from the staff of each
paper Arrangements have been made by
Superintendent Stevens to obtain gold and
silver medals for the winners of the races
and several prominent merchants and citi
zens have signified Willingness to pay
for one or two of these Perry Carson
says he will give prize for a colored boys
race.
The first event on the card is the 100
yard dash, open TO all ages; the next
is d OU-yarQ race, IoT poyS uDueT sixteen
years of age; then there will be tub race
fancy diving and barrel-riding contests
and swimming under water. For some
time Patrolman Cotter was the only one
could manipulate an empty air-tight barley
corn barrel, but now two youngsters, Elliott
Crane and Eddie Langdon, can mount the
unruly steed and ride it all over the beach
The last-named Of these boys has become
quite an expert at the business. He is
able to ride it sideways or end-up without
the least inconvenience.
The tub race will be open to all ages
and both sexes What a contestant in
this race gains from strength he loses by
being sunk down deeper III the water
The affair seems certain to be success
andthe boysare doing their best tomakeit so
