vanclng Havana with the prospect OF reaching
that city by tomorrow. has been reported this
afternoon, Senior de LONE. the Spanish Minister 10

gave out a cable dispatch tonight to The United
Press from General Arderius. Acting Governor
General OF Cuba. confirming the defeat OF Gomez
contained in the Havana dispatch. The Spanish
Minister read an extract from another cable dis
patch which said that the engagements lately had
been very satisfactory to the Spaniards. Inc

had any with them worth taking.

APPEAL TO AMERICAN WRITER'S.

AN ADDRESS. WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE SIGNED
BY FAMOUS ENGLISH AUTHORS. ASKING CO.
OPERATION IN MAINTAINING PEACE.
London. Dec 24-An address from British to
American literary men relative to the Anglo
American crisis has been compiled by an author
Of distinction, whose name. however, Is not
made public and IL being numerously signed.
Among those who sign the address will probably
be John Ruskin. william Lecky. Sir Walter
Beeant Richard Blackmore Thomas Hardy
William Black, Rider Haggard. John Morley
and others equally prominent. After PREDATORY
remarks, the address continues:
There two paths before us. One leads we
know not whittier but In the end, through war Win
all its Accomplishments OF carnage, unspeakabe suf-
fering, limess destruction and hideous desolat1n,
disruption Of our race 1t IS this path that we ask
you TO join in effort to make impossible
The address expresses the pride felt by the
British for the United States. and says:
Nothing in history has earned us more CORY than
the conquest Of vast continent by the ~, angie no
report of things that you do better than ourselves
our asS ed u Sy se mo feeling
among Englishmen II Is impossible that there can
be any ant-Engsh feeling among Americans
The address then dwes on the strength of
the tie OF literature, which, it says. will con-
tinue to live after the fever of any political
strife shall have passed away. If war should
occur, English literature would be dishonored
and dsfgured for century to come by patrl-
otto songs, histories Of victories and defeats,
records Of humiliation and disgrace, and stories
Of burning wrong and unavenged insult. These
would be branded deep in the hearts of our
peoples, who would so express themselves in
poems and novels as to make 1t impossible for
any Of us who had lived through such fratri-
cidal war to resume their former love and
friendship. In conclusion the address says:
Poets and creators, scholars and philosophers
men and women of imagination and vision we call
upon you in the exercise of your far-reaching nhu
ence to save our literature from dshonor and our
race from lasting injury
