Minister de LONE Says it VIII be Surely

WASHINGTON. Sept. IA Senior Dupuy
de- Lone, Spanish minister to the
United States, to-day expressed the
opinion that the rebellion in Cuba ia
sure to be crushed. II is impossible, he
added, to say just when, because OF the
conditions that exist in the island The
minister characterizes ,he methods
employed by the rebellion as guerialla
warfare and declares that it will be- i'm
possible to have q serious battle under
suca conditions. A great deal OF misin-
form alton, he said, has been sent out by
the re bells.
1T Ia easy to account for the methods
now mployed by the Spanish govern
ment," said the minister. The clima tic
conditions OF Cuba are very peculiar.
July, August and September are the
three great generals ;or the rebels.
These months include the rainy season
In Cuba and the most unhealthy for the
Spanish troops. 1t Is impossible to carry
on successful warfare amidst pouring
rains. But the Spanish governments has
been preparing for an active campaign.

been landed in Cuba. 1t il probable that
active movements will not begin, how
ever, until the FIRST Of October or some
time during that month, according to
the conditions of tho weather Il Ia
sometimes asked why troops are now

called into active service for some time
The answer is plain.
From the Goth OF September until the

difficulty in Transporting troops. as we'll

THE nEonNr OUTFLOW OF GOLD.

All Apprehension subsidized aud the Re

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE feeling
or apprehension that resulted from yes.
terday's heavy Withdrawals OF gold for
export has almost ensirely disappeared
from the Treasury Department this
morning, bit it hiss given place to one
OF anxiety for the future None OF the
higher officials now in Washing ton, 40
far as can be learned, is in Mr. Csrlisle's
confidence to the extent of knowing his
views OF the situation or his purposes
for the future, and hence no one ia able
to speak with any degree of certainty as
to what would be done in the event of
continued heavy Withdrawals OF gold.
The concensus of opinion, however,
is that there will be no issue of bonds
In the near future in any event, and
and that an issue before Congress has
had an opportunity to act is extremely
in probable. Nor is it thought that the
urgency for an issue before that time
Will be extreme. I. Is argued that the
shrinkage in the shipments of cotton is
very unusual End far below that OF anv
recent year; that grain shipments surely
must soon begin and improve at stiff
oned rates. A turn OF the tide, there
fore. is expected. The fact, too, that
