Troops Sent Out to Re.
lieve Camp0s.

New York. Aug. '4.-The belief Is
general among the officers and leaders
of the Cuban Revolutionary society in
this city that Captain General Campos
Is practically prisoner. surrounded by
the insurgents under Antonio MaceO at
BayamO. where he found refuge after
the disastrous engagement at Valenzu-
ella. In which $50 Spanish soldiers are
said to have been killed.
Senor Palma, the delegate to the in
surgent Cuban government from the
clubs In America, has received a letter
from one Of his correspondents in Cuba,
dated July 22. in which It Is said that
Campos was wounded in the right leg,
and Is now in Bayamo. unable to leave
the town. MaceO 1t says, has about 5000
men, and the town is so situated that
he Is able to control all the approaches
10 1t, and will not find 1t difficult to hold
at bay 5000 Spaniards who are hasten
Ing to the rescue Of Campos.
This Information comedies with the
statements Of Charles Lynn, who ar
rived from Havana on the steamer
Santiago on July q.
Bayamo lies in a large plain forty
miles from the town of Manzanillo.
winch Is Its seaport. The country be-
tween the towns Is marshy, and Is COW
cred by a thick growth of forest. At
the beginning of the war Bayamo had a
population of 5000. A portion Of the
town was burned by the insurgents
early In the struggle.
Mr. Palma said yesterday that he
placed but little reliance on the reports
that Campos had discharged number
OF political prisoners in Havana.
Dciuso OF Troops.
The Spanish government has notified
the Spanish Steamship company to hold
Its ships in readiness to transport 3O,-
600 or 10000 troops to Cuba between
Aug. 20 and Sept. 10. The trip from
Spain to Cuba requires fourteen days
for the transport ships. These troops are
to be used in the fall campaign, which
will begin as soon as the rainy season
Is ended.
"The appeal for aid, issued last week,
has brought forth a generous response
from all our friends, and we are re-
ceiving satisfactory returns from our
solicitors" said Mr.. Palma yesterday.
In reply to question about the ship
ment Of arms to Cuba, he said:
"We are helping our brothers in the
field in evey way that lies in our power,
but at the same time We wish 1t under
stood that we are obeying the laws Of
the United States to the letter."
General Francisco Carrillo, who took
a prominent part in the last rebellion,
Is now in this city in conference with
the leaders. Colonel Enrique Colazo,
who, 1t was reported some days ago, Is
to lead an expedition to Cuba from one
Of the West Isdian islands. Is expected
here next week.

Washington, Aug. Ain a recent pen
sion case Assistant Secretary Reynolds.
Of the interior department, decided
that where there Is q record Of service
in the Confederate army. such record
failing to show whether the service was
voluntary or involuntary, 1t will be pre-
sumed that service was voluntary, but
such presumption may be rebutted, the
burden of proof being on the claimant
Where the service was voluntary the
claimant IL not entitled to a pension,
but where the service was wholly COM
pulsory he may be.
In another case the assistant secre-
tary holds that when a soldier was
discharged to re-enlist and did then
and there re-enlist as a veteran volun-
teer and thereafter deserted from the
service and never returned to or was
discharged from such service, he

About 1000 Allentown people visited
the hub of Wyoming Valley Saturday

HORSE vs.. BICYCLE.

The Salt Lake Tribune puts up case
against the bicycle and in favor of ''our
friend the horse" This is. in brief, the
thought of our contemporary.
Experts say that the cost of repairs to
the bicycle equal the cost OF keeping a
good horse. The life of the bicycle is two
years, and that of the good horse ten
years Of usefulness to man. You cannot
talk to your bicycle, whereas a good
horse is an excellent companion. 1t is
high pleasure to ride or drive good
society. The nations that are most pro-
gressiye most use the horse and cultivate
the finest of his breed.
Ii these charges prove anything they
establish the demand for fall in the
price of the bicycle. The profits on the
WHOLESALERS are too large, or else the
manufacturers arel deficient in skill in
producing strong and cheap article.
Carefully handled good wheel should
last twice two years, and as no horse can
be kept for less than IS month, it is alb
surd to say that the cost of bicycle repairs
equals the cost of horse maintenance.
Besides, horse without a buggy is of
but limited usefulness. and makes man
selfish. Now buggy repairs in all prob
ability are as great as bicycle repairs, and
if so we may cast out the item of horse
keering entirely, and still have case for
the bicycle.
Then, while it is true that the society of
the horse is pleasant, that he represents
life and therefore some kind of compan-
ionship, he is at the same time bur-
den and a source of constant care and
thought. The bicycle does not have the
epizootic nor the CHAMBERS; it does not
need a stable nor veterinary surgeon; it
does not balk nor run away, shy nor
kick, nor back over the grade. nor
does it rebel at being ridden double. 1t
picks up nails, has to be shod and some
times breaks down. precisely as does the
horse. The cost of its keeping is 80 low
that it is not worth mentioning, as COM
pared with the cost of keeping a horse,
even after one casts out his personal
labor, the smell of the stable, suit Of
old clothing, a pair of rubber boots,
currycombs and brushes and the time
spent in grooming mans best friend.
We are by no means disposed to Ego
back" on the horse, or undervalue his
usefulness. At the same time we are not
blind to the worth of the bicycle, nor are
we oblivious to the fact that it costs too
much and must be greatly cheapened.
