SPANS WAR IN CUBA.
HAVlNA'S MAYOR GETS EXCITED
OTER THE FILIBUSTERS
And Complains Because They Get Off Which
Makes the Cuban's Blood Boi1-1OO,O00
Needed to Suppress the Trouble.

New York. August 1.-THE mayor of IIa-
vana. Cuba, Senior Segunde Alvarez, who is
at the Union Square hotel, says that the
instruction i'm Cuba is not serious mat
ter, but that there is danger ahead of trou-
BILE between Spain and the United States
on the action of our government of press
ing Spain TO pay the Mora claim at this
time and of the aid that Americans are eX-
tending to Cuban agitatOrs and fhbusterers.
Senior Alvarez talked very plainly with
reporter of the United Press who called
upon him today. He said he had heard
nothing I'm regard TO the reports that Mar
tinez Campos had resigned, and placed 10
credit ON the rumors. He said he believed
that Campos had asked that a general be
sent from Madrid to assist him, and that
the man who is sent out will be placed in
charge of all the administration affairs,
enabling General C2mpos to devote HIM
self to operations in the field. Senior AL
VareZ added:
'"rhe news about General Camposs re-
tirement is like much of the Cuban nows
published in this country-it is manufacture
cd. A large part of the stories publlsheu
here are lies"
When asked about the progress of the
revolution, Senior Alvarez said
1T is a rising of outlaws led by :orelgn-
ers The better class of Cubans have moth
ing to do with IT.
"In the Santiago province the insurgents
are nearly all negroes; Macco, their leader,
is a mulatto; Gomez is "A san Domiugoan
All the other leaders of the insurgents are
American citizens. They are foreigners
on Cuban soil and should be shot down.
American citizens here who are aiding them
should not be allowed to hold meetings
raise funds and lit up expeditions as they
are doing"
Senior Alvarez became very earnest at this
Will
t-uucd:
"The people Of the United States should
remember that the war in Cuba is not a
war between two nations, and that they
cannot say We will be neutral II IS
difficulty which one nation is having in It's
own family, and America should keep her
hands on. Americans not only permit
foreigners but allow their own citizens 70
conspirc against Spanish territory ana
spain is a friendly nation
but has not the United states govern
ment, by proclamation and by orders To
men-of-war ana revenue cutters SHOWN
their friendship for SPAIN
YES, but what good does man-of-war
al chored nj Key West do? None at all.
Expeuluons are fitted out just the same
and sent under the protection OF the Alneri-
can flag. Perhaps our government acts De
cause it knows that Spain is keeping an
account OF all the expeditions that are sent
out and when the trouble in Cuba Is over
viii ask The United States to pay tamages.
Your newspapers publish detailed accounts
of how these expeditions are fitted out ana
how they are landed
