CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Dec. "a
A few days ago regiment of Turkish
troops from Yemen. Asiatic Turkey en-
barked at Hodeida, on the Red Sea, on
board a Government transport en- route
Tor Constantinople.
When the ship reached Moudanai, on
the Sea of Malmosa, at which point they
were to disembark and proceed by rail, a
journey of six hours, to Constantinople,
the troops seized the captain of the vessel
and put him in irons. They then in
formed the commanding officer of the
regiment that they positively refused to
land until they received their arrears Of
pay and supply of clothing.
vail was notified at cnce of the de-
mand of the soldiers, and that official
sent the sum of 10000 piastres, but this
the troops refused to accept and threat
ened to pillage the town of Moudanai un-
less they received what they demanded
As the soldiers were fully armed and
fercely determined the vail, who was only
fifteen miles away, sent 100000 piastres,
which he held in reserve Tor deposit in
the National treasury, accompanying the
remittance with note stating that
the sum was all that he had at his dis
posal, and also sent supply OF clothing.
After receiving the money and clothing
the troops landed.

Weyler's soldiers than several regiments

clever manipulators is awfully destructive

A squad of Texas cowboys in the Fourth
Brigade are armed with heavy telescope
rifles, which will Kill nearly two miles
away. They call themselves the 'Lone
Star Rihemen." the solitary star being the
emblem of both Cuba and Texas. One OF
the squad named Ryan keeps a record of
the Spanish officers he has shot. Ee
claims to have tum bled nineteen already,
not to mention privates.
Perdue described a machete drill by col
ored Cubans in camp. These negro troops,
he said, are desperate fighters with that
keen-edged weapon. The machete of
peace which is used for cutting sugar
cane. is different from the machete OF
war. The former has point which Is
curved backward on the order of scimi-
tar. Those which are used in battle are
perfectly straight and go off to point

AT Havana the departure OF Weyler for
Pinar del Rio has caused great surprise, as
it was given out that he intended going
toward Cardenas to fight General Garcia
and to stop Gomezs forward movement.
The change is taken to indicate that seri-
Gus news has been received from Arte-
misa, forcing Weyler to go there instead
of leaving General ARGOS to fight it out.
General Rivera has completely duped the
Spanish officers as to his movements and
plans, and hence Weyler was wired to ex-
trIcate them from their dilemma.
Two Spanish vessels suddenly sailed last
night, and it Is rumored that they are
after another filibustering steamer. Span
ish officials intimate that several big
moves will be made as soon as Congress

prove that Spain has ability to cope with

PRoJEo1s FOR PEACE.
CIereland aud OLney Considering tn

CIereland aud OLney Considering the
Possibility OF Ending the War.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. PA Herald
special from Washington says: Projects
for peace in Cuba are receiving considera-
ton from the President and Secretary Oh
ney. The effect of Secretary Olney's dec.
laration that the executive branch of
the Government would not be Influenced
by the resolution of Senator Cameron to
recognize the independence of Cuba has
encouraged both of these officials to be-
lieve that the time is ripe for peaceful
solution of the existing trouble.
1t is reliably stated that several plans in
the interest of peace have been discussed.
If General Weyler is able to give practi-
cal demonstration in the next few weeks
tnat the backbone of the rebellion is
broken, as he has claimed, it is the earn
est conviction of the authorities here that
way can be found Tor an adjustment OF
the pending difficulties satisfactory to all
concerned.
The attitude OF Spain until recently has
been such as to afford little ground for
hope that the Madrid Government would
consider any propositions plating
the granting of autonomy to Cuba in any
form in advance of the total collapse of
the insurrection. The death of General
Maceo, coupled with developments in this
country, it is believed, caused decided
change of sentiment on the part OF the
Madrid authorities.
1ntimations have also been received
here in semi-otficial way that the Euro
pean powers are bringing pressure to bear
upon Spain to accept the good offices OF
the United States for the re-establishment
of peace in Cuba. The message of Presi-
dent Cleveland and the report of Secretary
Oiney served to open the eyes of the Eu-
ropean Governments to the desperate
condition OF affairs in Cuba. showing as
they did that unless the conflict should be
terminated by concessions on both sides,
the war would be prolonged until the
island would be almost beyond re habiIita-
tion.
1t is known that officials of the admin
istration are viewing with considerable
satisfaction the attitude of England,
France and Germany in egard to the po-
sition assumed by the United States in
the Cuban matter, and although it is not
expected there will be any direct CO.
operation between the administration
here and those three countries for a for
NAL mediation of the Cuban difficulty, the
authorities are led to believe that these
European countries will materially aid In
inducing Spain to ultimately accept the
good offices of the United States.
A Sun special from Washington says:
Senator Vest has not abandoned his in
tention of speaking on the Cuban ques-
ton in the Senate Tuesday. Senator
Hale, who is looked upon as the leader of
the anti-Cuban party in the Senate, said
to-day that he will not resort to filibuster-
ing tactics to defeat the Cameron resolu-

Street Parade of Spanf0rds Leads to q
Lirety Fight.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. M-The Her
aid 8 special cable from Buenos Ayres says:
Rio Janeiro advices state that serious
encounter occurred between members OF
the Spanish colony and Cuban sympathiz-
ers yesterday. The Spaniards were en-
gagged in parade, and many cried "Viva
Cuba Espanola." This was answered by
the Cubans, who shouted 'Viva Cuba
Lbre."
A fight at once took place and several
persons were wounded. The Cuban COM
mittee here has issued manifesto in favor
of the Cuban revolution. The denial of the
Brazilian Minister in Madrid that his Gov
ernment intended to recognize the bel
iigerency of the Cubans was personal and
was not authorized by cable order from
the Brazilian capital.
The Cuban question is assuming Sc
rious aspect in Brazil. The Spanish colony
in Rio Janeiro is becoming greatly excited
over the recent actions of the Cuban COM
mittee, and the meetings which have been
held in favor of the rebels.
1t is reported that group of Spanish
residents have threatened to kill mem bsrs
of the Cuban committee. The president
of the committee has asked for police pro-
lection.

Case of Delgado.


The american Consulate Takes Up the
Case of Del0ado.
HAVANA, CUBA, Dec. 24-Enrique
Delgado who is described as an adjutant
of the rebel generals staff was captured
in the Prefecture of General Melguizo on
December 5. Yesterday he was brought
TO Havana and imprisoned incomunicado. o.
It is unknown whether he is wounded or
sick. The American consulate has taken
up the case and will submit it to the gov
eminent as Delgado claims he is an
American citizen and came to Cuba as
correspondent of a New York evening
newspaper. He denies he was a rebel
officer, or that he took any part in the re
bellion.
He is known to many persons in Havana
and elsewhere in Cuba, he at one time
having been purser in the employ oi
the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship
Company.
A Spanish newspaper reporter says that
when captured Delgado had in his posses
sion a letter to Antono Maceo and an
order from Maceo to the commander OF
the rebel district in which he was cap
tured directing the latter to treat him
with courtesy.
Captain Castillo and eleven of his fol-
lowers have been surrounded at CaIimite,
Province of Matanzas.
It is reported that the rebel leader.

The Accused Man Made a Long Jour.
ney on Foot to Visit General
Maceo.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 24-Henry
DeIgado, an American citizen, the news
of whose capture in q Cuban hospital by
Spanish troops was confirmed this morn
ing, is special correspondent of the Mail
and Express. detailed two months ago to
join The insurgent army in Pinar del Rio.
The correspondent, who was landed in
Cuba by one of the expeditions from this
country, went strictly in his capacity as a
newspaper man for the purpose of telling
the truth just as he found it. When he
left here he carried letters of introduction
to Maceo and to another Cuban general
When captured these letters were found
on him, together with an order from
Maceo to the Project OF Las Tumbas, COM
mending the bearer to his consideration
and courtesy.
These documents could hardly be re-
garded as discriminating. Mr., Delgado
reached Maceo's camp in the hills, and in
his quest for news tramped nearly 200
miles. One of his ankles gave way and
he was obliged to go to bed in one of the
field hospitals. There he was taken with
convulsions. He is now believed to be in
Moro Ca stle.
Immediately upon learning these facts
the Mail and Express telegraphed to Sec
retary of State Olney in Washington and
cabled to Consul General Lee in Havana,
asking that the le-al rights of Mr.. Del
gado be regarded, and that if he has not
already been shot that the execution be
stayed until it can be shown that his
mission was not one of sympathy or in
tended participation on either side. The
cable to General Lee has probably been
acted upon by Vice-Consul Springer.
Mr.. Delgado was born in this city and
lived nearly all his life here and in Brook
lyn. He was educated IN the Charleroi
Institute and was afterward graduated
from the Mount Pleasant Military Acad-
emy. He married Miss Granger of Hud-
son, n. Y, some years ago. His wife is
now in New York. The couple have one
child.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 24.-The
State Department has been officially noti-
fed of the capture of Henry Delgado, an
American citizen, by the Spanish authori-
ties in Cuba. The announcement OF the
capture was made in Havana paper De-
cember 18. and has greatly alarmed his
friends and family in New York. The
matter was officially laid before Secretary
olney this morning. The Secretary stated
that the case would be at once investigated
and action taken in the matter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-Marion
D. Perdue a resident of Richmond, Va,
who claims to have been a soldier in
Gomez's Cuban army and to have made
his way out of the island through the ef-
forts of Consul General Lee, has been in
the city for day or TWO on his way home,
where he goes to recuperate from wounds
received in that service. He talked freely
of his experiences and observations in the
army and some of his statements shed
new light on the condition of warfare in
the island and of the situation.
"In reading accounts of battles. in
Cuba" said the young Virginian, ''you
have noticed no doubt that the reports
read so many Cubans were killed and sc
many wounded, but you scarcely ever
see it stated that such a number were
taken prisoners. There are two awful rea-
sons for this. The Spaniards do not take
prisoners. They have practically hoisted
the black flag and any Cuban patriot who
is unlucKy enough to be taken alive never
sees the sun on the following day. He is
shot down very soon after he is taken and
his body added to the number of the
enemy killed in battle. The other reason
is that Cuban soldiers know very well the
fate which is in store for them and they
prefer to die fighting rather than be assas-
sinated in the ranks of their foes. Many
of Com mez's and Maceo's men for this rea-
son have registered solemn oath not to
be taxen alive.
The hundreds of Americans in the ranks
OF the insurgents, says Perdue, are rated
among the best fighters on the island.
They are mostly from the Southern and
Western States, and being expert marks
men are given Winchester repeating rifles
when possible and put forward as sharp
shooters. Many Spanish soldiers have
bitten the dust owing 30 the unerring aim
of the rifemen hidden in the thickets.
Americans are in the artillery service and

Denies That He Is In Favor of Cam
eron's Resolution.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. Ex-senator
Proctor OF Vermont is guest at the Fifth
avenue Hotel. In an interview with re-
porter of the United Associated Presses
to-day, he denied that he was in favor of
Senator Cameron's resolution recognizing
the independence of Cuba. Proctor was
of the opinion that the resolution would
not be acted upon without prolonged
d scussion. He thought the fact that a
constitutional question had arisen over
the matter would tend to make many of
the Senators who favored decided stand
to change ground and adopt a waiting
policy, delaying action until after the in
auguration of Mckinley. He did not be-
lieve, however, there would be any fill
clustering. He would not discuss the
question that had arisen between the
President and Congress as to their respec-
tive authority in the matter, but said it
would no doubt be fully discussed by Con-
gress after the holidays.
