Maceo and Gomez Unite Forces in Spite

Dispatches from Havana say that
Notwithstanding the vigorous efforts
of the Spanish troops in Cuba to pre-
vent the forces of the insurgcnt gen
erals, Maceo and Gomez, from joining
and invading Santa Clara, the Spanish
stronghold, they have done that very
thing. A column of troops, com
manded by Col. Segura. conveying 200
miles loaded with ammunition and
provisions, had brush with the in
surgents near Iguara, the result of
which was TO drive the SpaniardS into
Iguara with the loss of only nine
killed But il is admitted that the
Spanish troops had TO fight desperately
in order to escape being captured, and
soon afterward the Insurgents were
divided into two corps, one marching
in the direction of the Remedies dis
trict and the other heading southwark
toward the Trinidad district. The in
surgents have since been making rapid
progress through the provinces of Santa
Clara. The forces commanded by Go

leaders have united and are now en-.

Campos is said to have been praying
for, and with the coming of the rein

REPUBLICANS WILL MEET
In National Convention at st. Louis june
16, 1896.

I'm National Convention at st. Louis June
16, 1896.
The Republican national convention
will be held at St Louis June is next.
That was the decision reached by the
Republican national committee as
sembled at Washington after spirited
balloting lasting two hours. The first
important question was the fixing of
the date of the convention. The exc
cutive committee reported resolution
favoring June Is. This was amended
by Committeeman Lannan, of Utah,
in favor of August Is. There was
sharp debate, and Mr.. De Young, of
California, proposed July as a com
promise. Both amendments were de-
feated and then by Il practic-
ally unanimous vote the date
was fixed at June Is. Then came
the main contest between the cities.
San Francisco lead on the first ballot
with st. Louis second, Chicago Pitts
burg and New York bringing up the
rear as named. The strength Of ST.
Louis was somewhat greater than had
been expected, while Chicago fell far
below the anticipa ton of her friends.
On the fourth and last formal ballot
the San Francisco forces broke for the
first time, Michigan, Wyoming and
Connecticut going TO st. Louis. That
settled it and gave st. Louis the con-
vcntion. The choice was made unani-
nous on motion of Mr. De Young, of
San Francisco.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Spain
must crush the Cuban rebellion dur
ing the next three months or submit
to international interference in the
interest of humanity and commerce.
That is the significance of a series
of conferences just held between
Secretary Olney and the Spanish
minister, Senior Dupuy de LONE.
The United States has agreed for the
present to keep it's hands out Of the
trouble, but this is accompanied by
a tacit warning that unless Spain
carries out her promise of suppress
ing the insurrection and restoring Or
der to Cuba within a reasonable time
she must. expect the United States
government to pursue a quite differ
ent policy. In other words, Spain is
to be given a chance to demonstrate
falling in that, the chances are the
United States government will take
the leadership in International inter-
Vention, with the complete autono-
my, or perhaps the independence of
Cuba as the objective point The
conferences were held at the request
OF Secretary Olney, who asked Du-
puy de LONE for a full statement
of the condition of affairs in Cuba,
with the intention of the Spanish
government, its ability to protect
American citizens and their proper
ty, and the prospect of suppressfng
the insurrection. The Spanish min
lister eagerly availed himself Of this
opportunity to make an argument in
favor OF his view of the situation
in Cuba. He entered into details
concerning the plans which his gov
ernment has formed for breaking
up the rebellion, and attempted to
convince Secretary Olney that the
insurrection is a thing of today and
will be gone tomorrow, but did not
succeed.
