BUFFALO, Feb 7.-Alcxander L. Ham
ilton, a former resident Of this city, now
serving as captain of the third division Of
the insurgont army under Goneral Garcia
in Cuba left for Philadelphia, but before
departing gave "A local paper a graphic re-
view describing the methods of warfare In
Cuba's struggle for independence. Cap
tain Hamilton said: 81 think General Go
mez will attempt to capture Havana. He
will bring up all his forces for a grand at
tack, and that will settle it. This will bo
a difficult task, and it should have been
done at first"
"Are there many Americans in the in
surgent forces?"
Perhaps two-thirds of them are Amor
leans, great many Of whom are south
srnors from New Orleans and other cities
Of Louisiana"
"But how do you got along, seeing that
so many don't speak Spanish"
"All commands arc given by bugle
sounds. My bugler onoo belonged to tho
Fourteenth United States infantry"
"What truth is there in the reports Of
depredations and assaults committed by
the insurgents"
Unfortunately we have on our side
several bandits who are desperate fighters,
but unprlnclpled. Besides those there arc
about 400 Ohio hlibusters, who seize any
thing they can lay their hands on, no mat
ter whether they belong to the Spaniards
or to the Cuban forces.
"What made General Garcia leave his
army"
"Well, he came over to tho United
States for ammunition. He was in Phila-
delphia two weeks ago, but by this time
will bo back among his mon with gatling
guns, rapid fire guns and sabers, of which
Cuhans are solely in need. 1 myself hope
to be back now in two or three weeks
with few little things.
"How will this whole business end?"
"For my part" answered Captain
Hamilton, II am convinced that the in
surgonts will never rest until they drive
the Spaniards clean out Of the island and
Cuba declares her independence under the
United States protectorate."

SHEA MUST DIE.
Judge AIayham Denies the Application For
New Trial

a New Trial
ALBANY, Feb. 7.-Judgo Mayham has
informed Governor Morton that he had
arrived at a decision in the Shea case, and
that he would refuse 10 grant a new trial.
His reasons for so deciding is thnt the
confession of McGough was not supported
by his evidence given before the commits
sion appointed by the governor, and as
placed in conuadistinction to the evidence
of the witnesses for tho people at the trial
was lacking in confirmation In any in
stance. Ho had read the evidence taken
nt the trial and had been impressed by tho
fact that none of the witnesses, even those
for the defense, had sworn that MoGough
committed the crime.
Everything assumed TO be in fact, be-
cause verified by several witnesses oaths,
was against Mc6ough's S confession, and he
even failed TO make good his story of evil
denco. Tho further fact was adducod that
II MoGough had been in the position he
claimed 60 DO at the time of tho-shooting
the death wound inflicted upon Ross
would not have been of the nature 10 was
The track of the bullet was not at all In
accord with his story. Tho weight of owl
dence was largely against McGough's con-
fession, and the application was denied.
Thoro Is no appeal from the decision OF
Judge Mayham, and Shea win be executed
on Tuesday next, reprieve having been
granted until that time by Governor Nor
