Criticisms of the Grant Statue.


The statue of General Grant, which
reached the Capitol some time ago. was
unlocked in the rotunda yesterday morn
ing 1t was inspected by Senators Villas and
Henderson, of the committee on library, and
by Senators Palmer and Cullom. Without
exception they all pronounced it a bad
likeness. The statue will be accepted, how
ever by Congress and unveiled in Statuary
Hall at an early day.
Senator Palmer thought the statue re-
Sembled General Sherman more than it did
Grant. Senator Cullom thought it was
wide of the mark 1.-THE face is too long,
never did. Grant was of stocky build, and
this statue represents him as being tall
and thin with legs as slim as mine Ha,
ha!'' said the Illinois Senator, with a
chuckle, you would never recognize that
as being Grant"
Senator Henderson thought the fatal de-
feet was in the cut of the whiskers. He
placed a newspaper over them, but that
did not emphasize the facial features of
Grant. Senator Cullom suggested that the
newspaper be placed over the forehead and
the lower part of the face and whiskers
be left exposed. The result suggested Gen.
Sherman.

CUBAN HEARTS HOPEFUL
They See Signs Of Success for the
Revolution.
INSURGENTS GAIN STRENGTH
Months Now Than In Five Years In
tho Former Uprising Spanish
Show Signs Of Weakness.

New York, Aug. 1.-,Wfth the enthu-
siasm which Is the natural inheritance
OF those In whose veins flow the blood
OF the Latin race, the Cubans In New
York were still inclined today to cela-
brate the landing Of the patriots In the
province OF Santa Clara. news OF which
they received Tuesday.
1t would be difficult now to find a
Cuban In this city who does not be-
lieve that the revolutionlsits will uiti-
mately win. This belief Is based not
only upon the success which attended
the latest expedition. e,1d upon the
number and condition OF the revolu-
thonary troops, but also upon the fact
that the first Spanish reserve has been
called out. The Cub:ns reason that,
II there were available regular troops,
the reserves would not now be called
FOR. The last revolt continued for ten
years. and the reserves were not called
Tor until the war was more than half
over. During the five months that the
present revolt has continued, the Gu
bans. 1t Is said, have made as great
progress as they did In the first five
years or the revolution of 1868.
Rebels Stronger Than Ever.
At no time during the former STRUGGLE
We're the Cubans as numerically strong
as they are today. The largest number
Of men which they had in the field at
any one TIME during that conflict was
1000. and these were poorly armed.
There are said to be $4,000 patriots in
the field today.
II the city of Havana Is considered a
province, there are six provinces in
Cuba. or these the Spanish forces are
In possession of the three most west
erly ones-Pinar del Rio, Havana and
Matanzas. The central provinces OF
Santa Clara and Puerto Principe, es-
pecially the latter. are in almost COM
plete possession Of the Cubans. Santi-
ago de Cuba, the extreme eastern prov
ince. Is the scene Of the most active hos
tilities. It Is In that province where
Captain General Campos has his head
quarters. In all the territory occupied
by the Spaniards there are only about
125,000 troops, as compared with the
250, 900 men General Campos had under
him during the last revolt.
Then 1t is asserted that the pre-
judices Of the inhabitants Of the island
favor the success Of revolt. 1t is In only
the three western provinces that there
is anything like loyalty to the Spanish.
and even in those. 1t Is said, IL there
were experienced leaders to go there.
1t would be only short time before
they would be in open revolt. The peo-
ple of Santa Clara, the center Of the
wealth and the sugar plantations, and
Of Puerto Principe are said to be heart
and soul with the revolutionists.
