event of that effort failing within a year
for the United States to undertake alone
the free coinage Of silver at 16 to /. Mr..
Whitney, when seen this morning, said:

The Spanish reports at Havana and
Madrid say that Carlos M. Aguirre,
chief of staff, and nephew of Jose Ma

Aguirre arrived here yesterday from
Tampa. He was accompanied by DR..
Joaquin De Castillo.
Colonel Aguirre comes here on an
important mission. In an interview he
said:

'Maceo can go through the line
whenever he is ready. He is only

and Gomez is now hurrying westward
from Camaguey with the new forces
and new supplies which ne went there
for.
THE line of communicate ton between
Gomez and Antonio Maceo and the
other generals of the Cuban army are
unbroken. Maceo's last order issued
just before 1 left Cuba was to burn
every house, shed or improvised bar
racks which can afford shelter for
Spanish troops. so that they will be
forced to stand the exposure of the

Spanish soldiers advising them to leave
the sovereignty of Spain and to join
their Cuban brothers. He points out
that they are i'll fed. poorly clothed,

treatment, good food and a good home
for their families and a future for
themselves under the Cuban republic.
