Philadelphia, Sept 2O-A letter was
received to-day which was written on
August 80 by General Gomez, COM
mander-in-chief of the Cuban army, at
his headquarters at Camaguey. The
letter, addressed to the secretary of
the Cuban revolutionary party in the
United States, sums up the condition of
the military affairs in the excited
island and being written on the eve
of constituting the revolutionary gov
ernment declares it is the intention of
the Cubans to raise loans for the re-
public in America. The letter in part
is as follows:
Dear Comprehensive are on the
eve of the constitution of the govern
ment. The representatives of the state
of Santiago de Cuba-Major Rafael
Portuando, DR.. Joaquin Castillo, DR..
Manduley and Civil Engineers p.
Aguillera and Major Manano Sanchez
have arrived already and those of Ca
maguey, headed by the Marquis of
Santa Lucia, are awaiting orders in
order to form the assembly and elect
an executive cabinet and appoint with
sufficient power our ministers abroad
especially the diplomatic agent in the
United States, who will be authorized
to raise loans for the republic We
have been very happy to receive the
expeditions of Generals Roloff and
Sanchez in Las Villas and that of Cen
eral Jose Maria RODRIGUEZ in this prov
ince, and just now / have heard the
welcome news of the arrival of Col
onel Francisco Sanchez Echeverria, who
landed with a great number of arms
safely in Baracoa With a few more
expeditions we will be able to arm the
rest of our increasing forces, resist the
winter campaign, extend our occupa-
ton to Matanzas and need fear no
more the exposure of our men in aaz-
ardous expeditions which should be
sent of arms alone thereby not violat-
ing any laws. AS to the war carried
on against us the Spanish have done
little to diminish our growing strength.
They are on the defensive in this re-
gion and dare not attack us, to such an
extent that / have been forced to sur
prise and besiege their garrison and
| towns. capturing many hundreds of
stands Of arms The railroad between
Nd - ri
strategic line, has been generally in
! terrupted and partially destroyed.
THE tactics of the enemy are to not
| publish any account of our numerous
engagements in order to make the world
believe there is no war in this section.
1.-THE late personal defeat of General Mar
Itinez Campos at the hands of the brave
| General Maceo has caused the prestige
and fame Of the Spanish captain-gen-
eral to suffer a, great loss and the NOR
| ais of his troops to be endangered. Cam
pos has not been able, not even with
all his sagacity and studied malice, to
hide. or, better, efface, the effect of such
failure.
| "We cannot give a detailed account
| of our operations. II would be tedious.
| I can only tell you that in five months
! of the campaign the enemy have been
| able to measure the wonderful strength
| Of the Cuban forces, and thus it is that
General Campos has hurriedly called for
| large reinforcements. My opinion as a
military man, given without passion or
| vanity, is that they will arrive too late.
The revolutionary movement is assur-
| ed"
| Wilmington, Del, Sept 20.-The trial
| of the alleged Cuban filibusters was re-
sumed to-day Little news was ELECTED
| at the morning session half of which
| was devoted to argument upon the adj
mission as evidence of the package con-
ltaning four letters addressed to General
Gomez Judge Wales decided not to ad-
nit them as evidence.
| Senator Gray asked the court, in view
of the fact that no evidence had been
| produced by the government to prove
| the charge, that the case be dismissed
| worthwith Judge Wales refused, how
| ever, preferring to let the jury decide
| the question. The government had just
| previous to that rested it's case. Sena-
| tor Gray then called w. w. Ker of Phil
| ,OHe VI lllt OWIltlS Vi llle Slcdlil-
er Laurada. He testified that no ar
rangement had been made for his boat
| to take accused aboard at a certain
point on the Delaware on the night of
August 29 and added that even though
such had been their intention he would
not tell unless the court compelled him
| to do so.
| Captain Samuel Hughes of the steam
er explained that his failure to sail Au-
gust 29 was because repairs to his ves-
| sci were needed. Two reporters and
Marshal Lannan were called and stated
| that when Detective Gaylor first opened
the package District Attorney Wander
| grift was not present.
| Senator Gray then proposed to submit
the case to the jury without argument
but the district attorney objected. 1t is
probable all of tomorrow will be devot-
ed to argument and that Judge Wales
will charge the jury Monday.
