She Never Loses but the Last Battle and
She win Lose II in Cuba,
Says Qucsada.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The attitude
and claims of the Cubans are set forth
in a statement given out today by
Senior Gonzales de Quesada, the secre-
tary of the Cuban delegation in the
United States. 1t is an answer to a
pamphlet signed IAN American" which
has been widely circulated in this coun-
try. Senior Quesada pictures the al
legged Spanish cruelties, gives the Official
estimate of $4,000 revolutionists in the
field, and invites the Spanish advocates
to debate.
He continues: "a document circulat-
ed by the Spanish representatives
through their paid medium of the bu-
reau established in New York, and sim
ply subscribed An American can carry
no weight before the public opinion of
this country. The phrases put in com
plimentary to this country, to pat
Americans on the back are not suih-
cient to conceal the Spanish sources
which inspired and paid for this anony-
nous attack
1--WE can not fail suggesting that if
the newspapers in this country have
not been able to obtain correct news
it has been because the cable and the
mail have been in the hands of, and
tempered with by the Spanish authori-
ties, who would not allow any matter
| to go through but what was favorable
to the government.
'"rhere has been no absence of pre-
sentiment of the Spanish side yet Amer
| leans do not know how man could be
| killed and identified as Maceo was, and
| then five months later defeat the Spa n
| ish at Valenjuelo, and again, three
| months afterward, cross the terrible
military Gordon of the Spanish into
| Los Villas. What has been the outcome
| of the reported surrender of Rabi, Reyo
| and host of other fabrications give
| out to discourage Cubans or influence
| possible legislation in this country, as
was done before the presidents mos
sage, when it was wired that the Cuban
cause had received a death blow, a cam
| paign of falsehood, which will be re-
hewed when congress meets. The Span
ish have not admitted single defeat,
and yet the Cubans have armed their
men with rifles used only by the gov
| eminent.
THE government has killed, accord
| ing to their official count, more men
| lldn lISy dLlulll we nave III the
field, yet we hear OF transports bring
ing thousands of unfortunate recruits
to fight for a topping monarchy in
America. Spain never loses but the
last battle, and she will lose it in Cuba.
If the truth is not known, it is Spains
fault. Let her welcome fearless and
incorruptible American journalists to
Cuba and give them facilities; let her
ask the press of this country to name a
committee of investigation, otherwise
it will look as if she was afraid of the
power of the American PEN"

ARE SHUT UP IN A RUSSIAN JAIL
Fifteen Americans supposed to Be Con

Fifteen Americans supposed to Be Con
fined on saghalieu Island.
San Francisco, Dec. 14.-Five San
Francisco seafaring men and 10 other
Americans are supposed to be held at
Saghalien prison by the Russian author
tiles for prohibitory fishing in Siberian
waters. The five San Franciscoans are
of party of seal hunters that left here
about one year ago on the steamer City
of Pekin to join John Remnants fishing
crew that has headquarters at Hako-
date and Yokohama. The men miss
ing are: Frank Peterson, James Ma
loney, Steve Brennan, r. Sheehy and
Ned Howe.
In addition to these men, in whom
local interest will naturally center, are
the 10 American seamen and hunters:
John Ross, James Mccarthy, John
Riley, F. Hill, A. Anderson, H Carlson,
Edward Lankin, Alexander Lericke, C.
L. Nelson and K. Ericcsen.
Two of the party seized by the Rus
slams and hurried to Saghalien prison
are said to be British subjects. They
are c. CampbeI- and A. Minger.
The Russian penalty for fishing in
the waters off the coast of Saghalien
island and Siberia is Imprisonment fol
life in the island prison, where no man
can hope to escape the persecution OF
petty tyrants and the abuses of laws
that govern tyranny. The men under
arrest have undoubtedly trespassed or
Russias alleged territory, but there is
some question as to the jurisdiction Of
the car of the island.
KEENAN, has appealed to the secretary
of state at Washington in behalf of his
men, asking the intervention of the
United States government. The mer
were on the schooner Saipan when she
was seized by the Russians.

THE AMERICAN LINER INDIANA SUNK
Coilfdcd With the British Steamer Samora
at Liverpool.

Liverpool, Dec. 15.-The American liner,
Indiana, Captain Boggs, from Philadel-
phia, was turning into the stream here
this evening in order to land her pas
sengers, when she collided with the Brit
ish steamer Samora, which was anchored
in mid stream. AS result the Indiana
showed a big rent in her port side inst
at the bulkhead, through which the water
rushed in in great torrents. The dis
abled steamer was Immediately towed
alongside the landing stage, where her
passengers were landed.
The vessel sunk three feet in half an
hour. An effort was made to plug up
the great hole in the steamers side, bnt
it proved fruitless. The vessel was then
towed to the Chester shore and there
beached.
With only little more delay the In
diana would have sunk in midstream. The
Samora was also badly damaged. The
Indiana is owned by the Internationa1
Navigation Company

Minister TerriiPs Demand Upon the

Constantinople, via Sofia, Dec. Is
Much relief is felt today among the
friends of American missionaries over
the news that has just been received
by United States Minister Terrill from
Aintab, Bitlis, Kharpoot, Caesava and
Talass, and which contains assurances
that the missionaries at those points are
safe.
They are under the protection of the
Turkish troops, in accordance with the
peremptory demand made upon the
porte by Minister Terrill. The reports
to Terrill from these points, although
they give the assurances that no harm
has thus far come to the missionaries,
state that serious danger still exists
and convey the impression that the fear
of further outbreaks is by no means
past. Word has also been received that
the American ladies at Hadjin are SAFE

Imaginary, but its substance
was drawn from GenerarLogan's own ex,
perience and observations. In order to
conceal his identity and to avoid too
pointed reference to prominent men in
military and civil life, General Logan
changed geographical and proper names
to suit his purpose, though nearly al
ways leaving a clue to his meaning. The
story Is told by Uncle Daniel, who in real
life was Daniel McCook, father of the IA
nous family of McCook boys who enter
ed the army from Ohio.
Colonel Rush, a man with one arm.
asks Uncle Daniel for story of some of
his experiences in the war. Uncle Dam
lei arises, delivers a short melodramatic
prologue, and begins by telling about a
riot in Allentown in 1861. Bowen, a prom
inent man in that part of the state, had
excited the people by denouncing the war
as IAN infamous abolition crusade" the
president as villainous tyrant and the
United States soldiers as Lincoln's hire
lings and dogs with collars around their
necks. Here Colonel Bush interrupts the
man Bowen.

now occupies one of the highest positions

her citizens" This was said in 1884. The
book contains attacks upon other men
