partment in Washington, has ordered

of the islands, and that the flying squad
ron is coming to American waters to be
ready for the war with the United States

terror, is dead. He had been suffering
from congestion of the lungs for some
time

ten. AS a lawyer he was engaged III
many political cases from 1851 to 1871.
After the Franco-Prussian war he was

in Cuba Has Been
Failure.

Havana, Jan. 1S.-Capt.- Gen. Marti-
nez de Compos formally resigned his
command yesterday to Gen. Marin. The
ceremony took place with much solemni-
ty in the great saloon of the captain

chief officers of the regular army and
of the volunteers. Gen. Campos was at
tired in the fatigue uniform of his rank
which he has worn daily for many nights
during his arduOus but unavalling cam
paign. Gen. Campos made an address
to the assembly saying in part:
Gen. Campos' Address.
ITO judge correctly of the course of
recent events in the island we need more
data than are known at present to the
public There We're times when the pub
lie opinion seemed to be that | did not
wish to subdue the enemy. At first sight
there may have appeared to have been
some foundation for such an opinion.
But I am inspired with the knowledge
that | have conscientiously done my duty
both during the civil war in Spain and
during the past revolution in Cuba. l
have been unfortunate i'll many things
and have not been sustained in my COM
mand.
"When I came to Havana from Ma
tanzas l sought to avoid public appear
ance, but all saw the reception accorded
me, which 1 had not requested, because
am an enemy of public demonstra
tons. Nevertheless, for days after this
certain politicians were continually writ
ing to Madrid requesting that l should
be relieved. In consequence, two days
ago | called a conference of the political
leaders to hear what they should say.
then informed the home government
that owing to the serious and patriotic
considerations, | should be obliged to
them for the courtesy of a relief from my
command. My request having been
granted, am pleased to deliver my COM
mand to Gen. Marin, confident that he
will do much to bring peace
Gen. Marin expressed his high regard
for Gen. Campos and reiterated in the
name of Cuba, of the army and of the
nation, that they held him i'll greater re-
spect than ever.

MOVE AGAINST TURKEY.
An Officer Talks About Olney's Pro-
posed Naval Demonstra-
ton.

New York, Jan. 1S.-A dispatch to
the World from Boston says that a naval
officer who has just returned from Wash
ington says: There is absolutely re-
liable authority for the statement that
the administration has prepared Il plan
of campaign against Turkey to force
the government of that country to COM
ply with the demands of the United
States for indemnity to American prop
erty and for the future protection of
American citizens within her domain.
The authorities do not deny this state
ment. though they have not hesitated
to say no orders whatever have been is
sued to the vessels of the navy for car
ryng this order into effect. Upon eX-
cellent authority, it is stated, the depart
ment of state recently entered into cor
respondence with the foreign powers and
that none of them will interfere.
1.-The plan, as l understand it, con
templates Il naval demonstration against
Turkey and perhaps the occupation of
one of it's cities. 1t has in view the con-
ed States navy in Turkish waters. The
real reason why Rear Admiral Bunce's
feet has been held at Hampton Roads
instead of sailing about Christmas time,
as was the original intention, is because
the authorities have considered the dis
natch or the Meet TO turkish waters.
The ASiatic squadron has also been con-
sidcred and there are some officers at
Washington who believe that it is on the
way TO the Mediterranean, as the Asiatic
station. usually so prolific in movements,
has not been heard from in several
weeks. The Newark in South Atlantic
waters was also talked of. The United
States would be able to make an i'm
portant demonstration against the Turk
ish government. for the Turkish navy
could not act effectively against it,

to Secretary Carlisle: eve are subs

the government and receive Il receipt
therefor. specifying that in case none
of the bonds be awarded to us that the

Mr.. Coombs says people all over the
country ere accommodating gold with
