CUBANS EXPECT TO WIN.
New York, Aug. IA great number
of Cuban residents of this city and sym
pathizers of the Cuban cause call every
day on Tomas Estrada Palma, the pres
ident Of the newly established Cuban
bureau. They were busy at headquar-
ters today comparing notes of this cam
paign with the revolution of 1868, and
the comparison seemed 10 convince
them that their countrymen will sue
coed in this effort to secure indepen-
dence.
No denial or confirmation Of the re-
port of Rodriguez's death has been re-
ceived. Mr.. Palma said:
I'VE have received no word from Gu
ba since we gave out the statement Of
the successful landing OF the expedi-
ton at Santa Clara"
NfONTERRA'S OPINION.
Mardfr, Aug Count Monterra, chief
of the Cuban reform party, in an in
terview upon the state Of affairs in
the island of Cuba said today, that
operations against the insurgents
would be commenced in earnest early
in the autumn and that before winter
set in, the rebellion would be over. The
insurgents, he added, are short of am
munition and the leaders lack prestige.
The principal thing to do, in the opinion
of Count Monterra, is to watch the
coast in order 10 prevent outside help
from reaching the insurgents.
In conclusion he said he was of the
opinion that in the interior of Cuba the
people are opposed TO the insurrection,
and that this feeling is increasing in
strength.
