MR.. PURMAN's EXPERIENCE,

He Has Been 70 Cuba and Was Re-
garded as "A Suspect.
Mr.. James w. Purman. Of this city. WHO
has been in Cuba for the past six months re
turned home yesterday from the seat OF war
via New York. During his stay I'm Cuba. he
was the chemist of Fowler * Co., sugar
dealers, at Los Heunapos, which is near
Matanzas, and is uear tie spot where the
insurre6tion broke out.
Mr. PuEnan has come back as he has con-
ciudedhfs work and because the yellow fever
has opened down there vigorously and com
prehensively.
AS an illustration of the military and
official espionage now in vogue in Cuba,
Mr. Purman said that ne was followed by
q spy from the time he left Los HermaDos
until he took the steamer orNew York
Asan American aud in sympathy with the
revolutionary party, Mr.. PuTman was in
the confidence Of several of the leaders. He
IS confident that there viii be a general
strike OF the workers in the sugar mills
when they close down in June.
Mr. Purman was somehow regarded
Gs suspect. He discovered that his let
tiers were being Intercepted, and he had TO
convey that Intelligence TO bis correspond
from assassination. As he was riding
along he was struck at from ambush by
q bandit, also on horseback but the would
be assassin did not follow up his failure.
Mr.. Purman described this adventure as
. decidedly close call.
Mr.. Purman expressed great faith, not
withstandjS.g recent events, in the ultimate
success Fthe Cubans. Their ambition.
he said, is9o be Americans, and he is with
them in the struggle They are looking to
America for arms, and he believes that
arrangements are now being made in New
York 10 supply them. The leaders asked
him TO explain the condition of affairs TO
his friends in this country and to tell
Americans how cruelty the natives are
wronged under the foreign yoke.
Gr. Purman also spoke quite interest
ingly of the manners and customs OF the
natives. their lack of education for want
OF schools, their bravery, their skill AS
cavairymen. and their burning zeal under
disastrous odds to make themselves free
