In q Private Conversation He Declared
the Revolt Would be Crushed Before
Spring, but rhore 10 Report That He
Demands 100000 More Troops.

here, Captain General Martinez de Cam
pos has received deputations from all po-
litical parties. His personal popularity
makes everybody glad to welcome him.
Addressing the Reformists he said that
the revelation would probably develop
further before the finale.
Addressing the Autonomists he said that
1t was his intention to begin an active
campaign in September against the insur-
gents in the province of Santa Clara, af-
terwards to attack the rebels in Puerto
Principe, and lastly those in Santiago dc
Cuba He promised that the next muni-
cipal elections should be absolutely free,
and that he would personally rectify any
case Of coercion reported to him.
In the course Of private conversation
Marshal Campos expressed the opinion
that dissension among the leaders would
weaken the insurgent force, and that tho
rebellion wohld be crushed before spring
but there is persistent rumor in circles
usually we'll informed that he has cabled
to Madrid that only two courses are open
to Spain, namely; Either to send 100000
troops to Cuba or to grant the island COM
plete autonomy.
The report that the aloalde of Sancti
Spiritu has Joined the rebellion Is incor-
rect.

urer w. w. Taylor was sentenced yester-
day by Judge GafTy. When asked If he
had anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced on him, Taylor in a
low voice replied: 81 have not" Judge
Gnffy then reviewed the case and the diff.
ferent statutes bearing upon the crime.
He considered the much discussed section
1866 void, and did not believe two years
sentence was intended to cover such case
as this. He considered that Taylor's worst
crime was in attempting to force COM
promise after gathering together all state
funds he could lay his hands on. The OK
treme sentence, five years at hard labor In
the sioux Falls penitentiary, was then
pronounced.
