GEN. ROLOFF TALKS.
DENIES THE EXPLOSIVE BULLET
STORIES.
Explains Matters As To Use Of War
Destructives and Gives Weyler the
Benefit Of CampOs' Opinion.

New YORK, July l5.-General
Carlos Roloff, is in the city for the
Cuban government.
The World this morning pub
fishes the following interview with
him:
Gen. Roloff was asked if 1t were
true as reported by the Spaniards
that dissensions among the gener-
ais were weakening the Cubans.
at is not true," he said, with
mphasis. "There has been no
dissensions among us. There was
no quarrel between Gen. Garcia
and Gen. Gomez and Gomez did
not countermarch on account Of
any trouble.
We stopped the grinding to stop
that revenue. That's our idea.
"And there is that explosive bull
lett.n Gen. Roloff, exclaimed and
then laughed heartily, 1--WE have
nothing of the kind. We have
the Grasse brass capped bullets,
which we have captured from the
Spaniards. You have seen them
in Cuba, haven't you? They use
them in their Remingtons. That
bullet Is the most deadly missile
there is. 1t makes terrible
wound. Then there's the Mausers
we have them. They make q
Mauser in Spain and the bullets
from them wobble and strike side
on. Those make bad wounds also.
The Mauser ball when it strikes
direct does little harm unless it
hits vital spot. As a matter OF
fact nations are devising the most
destructive implements of war.
Those that achieve the greatest
destruction win. We use dynar
mite all we can. We blow up
railroads and we make mines and
blow up Spaniards on the march
and we destroy steamers with 1t.
The trouble with US is that we are
not experienced in it's use. 1t is
not used as it should be. 1t ought
to do more destruction.
Gen. Roloff was asked il there
was any truth in the story that the
Spaniards had killed Pacific people.
Eyes," he replied, sit is true.
You can say for me that they kill
Pacific persons. The civic guards
and the guerillas do Ii. The civic
guards are the worst murderers OF
all. They 60 out and fail to fight
and then they kill harmless poo
pie and go back and say they had
a BATTLE"
He was asked IL he had personal
knowledge of the fact that Weyler
committed atrocities in the ten
years war.
NYes, and upon women at that,
he replied, "but / do not want to
say anything on that subject. 1t
is enough to repeat what Marshal
Cam pos said on the subject when
he was in Cuba. A Cuba autonimist
asked Campos il the report was
true that Weyler was coming to
Cuba.
"No," Campos replied, "the dead
would rise out OF their graves
should Weylsr come here" This
WAS published in the Cuban papers
at that time. 81 cannot say any
thing more forcible than that"
Gen. Rolf denied the Spanish
stories about the execution OF
Cuban generals by Antonio Maceo
and others. He said in conclusion:
1--WE will win. Cuba will be free.
1 don't know how long the war
will last. In the former war, we
had only eight or ten thousand
armed men, yet we held Spain in
check ten years."

AccommodntInr RaIIroad..

The railroad service in Asia Minor
is as romantic as the unspeakable
Turk. The Broussa oficlel relates that
a short time since one of the trains run
ming between Broussa and Mondania
stopped on reaching an extensive vine
yard; the conductor and engineer then
went to cutting grapes, filling tin can
after tin can, and desisted only after a
long alteration with the guard of the
place. It is further said that at one
time a train stopped to let brakeman
pick up his tobacco pouch; at another
time. to let passenger run back and
recover his hat.

A Very peslrable Calendar.

Calendars of all kinds and sizes
herald the coming year. Many are to
be had for the asking-many without
asking-but to them as to other things
the rule might be applied that what
costs nothing is worth about what it
costs. The calendar we always welcome
has just reached us. We refer to the
one published by N. w. Aver &c Son,
Newspaper Advertising Agents, Phlla-
delphia. This issue seems if possible
even better than its predecessors. Hand
some enough for the library, and yet
carefully adapted for everyday use, it
is naturally great favorite. The firms
well-known motto, keeping Everlast-
ingly At 1t Brings Success" appears
this year in a new and very attractive
form. The daily presence of this in
spring motto is worth far more than
the price of any calendar. The date
figures are so large and clear that they
can easily be seen across the room. The
reading matter on the flaps will also
possess interest to the progressive.
Those who have used this calendar in
other years will not be surprised to
learn that the demand for it is con-
stantly increasing Once introduced it
becomes a welcome friend. Its price
(25 cents, includes delivery, in perfect
condition, postage paid, to any address.

FROM FARO TO JAIL
The Downfall of a Once Honorable

g. T. DAVIES IS CAPTURED

@. T. DAVIES IS CAPTURED

G. T. Davies. the Butte representa-
tive of the Missoula Mercantile COM
pany, an account of whose disappear
ance while being suspected of being
short in his accounts and his subse-
quent arrest at Armillo. Texas. was
exclusively published in the Standard,
arrived in Butte yesterday in charge
of an officer and is now in the county
Jail. Young Davies with his wife and
child came to Butte from Missoula last
October to act as representative of the
company's wholesale produce depart
ment. He did a considerable business
and handled a great deal OF the FIRMS
money. His success was too much for
him and he soon fell into some Of
Butte's fast ways, and. according to
his own story, became fascinated With
the seductive game of faro and 1t
proved his downfall. He used the COM
pany's money and lost 1t.
A few weeks ago he received a let
ter from the manager of the company,
stating that he would be in Butte in
a few days ITO take an account of the
local business, and fearing a discovery
of the true condition of affairs the
young man skipped out, taking with
him what money he had and that be-
longing to the company. He says he
walked to Silver Bow and there took
a train and went to Denver and from
there went to New Mexico and to
Texas, ending UP in Armillo. His &C
lions in that place were so strange that
Captain Jones of the Texas Rangers
arrested him on suspicion and Davies
at once confessed everything to the
officer and offered to return to Mon
tana without requisition papers.
Jones telegraphed to Missoula and
asked If the young man was wanted
The reply was that the company would
pay 500 for his arrest and 5000 for his
delivery in Butte and Jones and his
| prisoner started for this city last Mon
day, arriving here about noon yester-
| day. The $500 was paid to Captain
Jones by Tylar Thompson, a represen-
| tative of the company who has been
in Butte for a week investigating Da-
vies' accounts, and the Texas officer
| left for home in the afternoon.
No effort had been made to locate OIL
| capture Davies and his whereabouts
were unknown until the receipt of the
| telegram from Captain Jones. Davies
says his shortage does not amount &c
more than 81, 900 and he has hopes OF
being able to make a settlement with
| the company with the aid of som,
| friends in the East. The compan,
does not yet know the extent of hi

amounts to much more than 81 600
