fare on Terrific Scale and Of Terrible

New YORK, June 25. 5.--Ideutenant Colo
mel Jose Rodriguez, a distinguished engi-
neer and beloved by all Cuban patriots as
hero Of the last revolution. is now in
New York making a scientific investiQa-
tion Of the latest discoveries in the use Of
high explosives. He said to q reporter.
II am an expert chemist and electrical
| engineer from Puerto Principe The OBJ
iect Of my mission to America is to learn
all that is new in explosives. / want to
know everything that has been discovered
mp 70 this time in Europe and America.
Dynamite and kindred explosives for war
purposes have recently developed new
powers beyond the knowledge OF the sci
enlist Of few years ago.
Whom ] get perfected In every detail,
shall roturn to Cuba, and with u corps Of
competent engineers begin operations on
the Spanish forts and cities. / need make
no secret OF this matter. The resources at
our command are so terrible that we
know pretty well what we can do.
We viii begin with Havana and give
the Spanish a few lessons--a finishing
touch, may say, in the art Of modern
warfare that win not only surprise those
who escape destruction, but Europe will
be surprised. We find that rifles and revolv-
ers and ordinary gunpowder are too tame
for those Spanish devils. We want some
thing eftective--something that win let
daylight and civilization into Spanish bar
barism.
wiii Blow Up the Navy.
When we return to Cuba, will not go
to the trouble OF running away from gun
boats or eyading the torpedo boats that
may be patrolling the coast. j win quiet
" meet them on their own ground and
blow their ships out of the sea. And all
the while will keep the Cuban flag flying
from my little dynamite dispatch boat.
Napoleon said Three things are in
| dispensable in wnr--moneyl money! mon
cyl am glad to say that we have plenty
Of Napoloons ammunition-monoyl mon
ey money! And ! am happy TO say that
Spain has no money, and 1t win be long
time before she gets any Bonaparte was
chased out Of Spain by Spanish women,
and our women will chase the Spaniards
out of Cuba.
We are worthy sons OF the best class Of
| Spaniards. We proved our courage IN the
great battle Of Bonilla, ia the last war.
when 800 OF us held up train Of Span
iards and destroyed them.
In the mines Of Tnrana. when Gener-
| al Palo was routed by General Thomas
| Gordon, the brave American, We fought
side by side with him and literally killed
every Spaniard IN that terrible battle
In this spirit and with this cournge we
shall continue the fight In Cuba until she
Is free
Mrs. Marti Arrives.
Carmen Layas Bazan de Marti, the wild
ow Of jose Marti the Cuban revolutionary
leader, arrived here on the CITY Of Wash
ington. She was accompanied by her son
Jose, who IS only year old. Only six or
seven Of her American friends know OF
her arrival
Mrs. Marti applied for passport for
herself and son TO leave Cuba. This was
granted, and she quietly left the island.
| AS soon as she arrived here she went to
the home Of Enrique Trujillo, publisher
OF El Poryenir at 236 West Thirty-ninth
street, where she will stay for some time.
Mrs. Marti was too exhausted by her
voyage 60 see any one but she sent out
| word that her message TO the Cubans in
| New Nar,. was one OF good cheer. Mrs.
Marti has not made any plans for the fu-
1 turc.
Mrs. Marti IS a handsome woman--a
brunette looking scarcely 22 years of age.
though she IS 33. She Is said to be one Of
the fairest Of Cuban women.
While friends were kissing and smiling
and shedding tears and embracing the
woman as II she were their daughter
many words Of good cheer wero whispered
| in effect that the best Of news had come
| from the soldiers at the front and from
the New York managers Of the uprising
Later in the day at the home Of Mrs.
Truiillo, in West Thirty-ninth street,
she received the cards Of General Rafael
/ Quesada, Gonzalo Quesadn secretary Of
the revolutionary party; Colonel zayas
| Bazan, vice president Of the Cuban So
| ciety; DR.. Portuondo and several ladies'
| from the Cuban club
Those who ought to know the inside
| facts say that the real object of her visit
70 this country IS to escape persecution on
/ the island. IL Is s3id Spaniards never for
| give an enemy nor the family Of an ene-
my, and instances are cited where the low
est malefactors have been liberated from
| prison, even allowed to escape the death
| penalty, on condition that they assassi-
nate some helpless invalid or woman or
/ girl who chanced TO be a member Of some
| patriotic Cuban family. 1t was by the
strongest and most sincere advice Of her
| closest friends that Mrs Marti left the
/ island.
