An Enemy of Cuba May Haze Caused
the HdecEins' Loss.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. %. = The
utmost secrecy was maintained by the
Cubans in this city regarding the move
ments of the filibusters who were on
board the fishing steamer ]. w. Hawkins
which foundered on Monday forty five
mile east-southeast from Barnegat. A re-
porter to-day found Salvador Arbors, who
had charge of the medical department of
the steamer Hawkins expedition. He said
that the trouble began on the steamer
Hawkins on Sunday at II o'clock.
In fact, she was then in a sinking con-
dition, but the tlibusters worked man.
fully to save her and the ammunition they
had on board for their fighting countrymen.
But the vessel was doomed, and the am
munition had to be sacrificed and thrown
into the sea.
1t is said that Mariana Alberich, one of
the men drowned, had resided in this city,
and that he was q member of a rich and
influential family in Cuba. He had been
sentenced to life imprisonment, but while
on parole in Madrid, two years ago, had
broken his parole and escaped. He came
to the United States, and he was enthus-
astic in the Cuban cause.
Jose Beneche, Albert Geleat, Captain
Gastan and Victor Gomez were among the
unfortunates who lost their lives.
At the office of the Cuban Junta to-day
one of the leaders, who refuses to allow
his name to be used, said there were grave
suspicious that the ship had been sunk by
treachery.
''Ihe situation is Just this: Either the
ship was bad and we were terribly de-
frauded in its purchase, or it was good and
there was bad faith among those on
soard."
The Hawkins was purchased through a
responsible firm of high standing. She
was bought in Baltimore and was there
examined from stem to stern, hull and
machinery. She was pronounced stanch,
swift and seaworthy. The price paid was
shade under $4,000. OF course there can

to conduct her warfare against the Cubans
after the fashion of other civilized coun-
tries she will be brought face to face with
the power OF the United States exerted in
behalf of the Cuban insurgents within a
very short time.
The minority report of Senator Cameron
consists of twenty-four typewriter pages,
much of which is historical matter Cam
eron says that early in 1869, during the
previous revolution, proclamation was
signed by President Grant recognizing the
Cubans as belligerents, although the fact
was known to very few persons This
proclamation was not promulgated, owing
to the opposition of Secretary Fish.
During that war Mr.. Cameron shows
that our Minister was directed to impress
upon the Spanish mind the advancing
growth of that sentiment which claims for
every part of the American hemisphere
the right of self-government and freedom
from transatlantic dependence. The
good offices of the Uaited States were
offered to the Cabinet at Madrid for the
purpose of bringing to close the civil
war now raging in the island of Cuba.''
Mr.. Cameron reviews in detail the in
cidents connected with the proclamation
of 1869, and coming down to recent times
says that President Cleveland has cleared
the subject Of all preliminary doubts; that
a state of war exists in Cuba and with that
and that alone we have TO deal. Con-
tinuing he says:
"If the United States still refrains from

governments, San Crystobal, Placios,
Paso Real, Consolation del Sur, San Juan
Martinez, San Luis, Guanemantua and
others of less Importance.
1t is reported that General Luque is NOR
tally wounded, but this the Government
denies. Generals Navarro, Arison and
LuQue are endeavoring to crush Maceo.
Gomez crossed the Trocha south of
Havana Sunday, going west, and ap-
parently had no difficulty. He burned a
train Sunday afternoon this side OF Guiana
jay. He had an encounter with the
columns OF Linarez and Algecom on the
Santa Lucia estate, twenty-five miles
southwest of Havana, Monday. The
troops used artillery. The officials ad-
NIT twelve killed on their side, but do not
give the Cuban loss. 1t is said to be
small.
The insurgents camped near the scene of
battle Monday night; Tuesday they en-
tered Pinar province and proceeded in the
direction of Cuxaiabos.
Gomez has about 1900 mounted men,
well armed, but short of ammunition.
With Gomez's army are four women SOL
diers. wives of men. Each carries q rife
and belt filled with cartridges. They are
dressed in mems clothes. Maceo is said
to have the largest force now and also
plenty of ammunition.
The censorship is absolute. 1t is impos.
sible to cable the truth under present ar
rangements. The only matter allowed to

Not Checked by the Spaniards.
The Hawkins Loss.

HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 29.-Gomez has
gone to Pinar del Rio to join Maceo. The
latter has made marvellous capture of the
western province. Nearly every town ex-
cept the capital city and its port (Colma)
are occupied. The townspeople welcomed
the insurgent army, hoisted the Cuban flag
over the Town Hall, gave balls and fur
nished provisions, ammunition, horses,
supplies, etc.
Maceo started with 2o0S men, bui now he
has over 5000 and is turning others away.
Several companies of Spanish volunteers
have joined Maceo.
The only serious engagements were
those of the 18th and 18th at Taironai,
which the Spaniards claim as victories but
which resulted in the capture OF 100000
rations by Maceo.
In the following towns Maceo appointed

go is highly colored accounts of battles,
rebel defeats and rebel atrocities. The
battles prove TO be mere skirmishes, the
defeats fail to stop the rebel advance and
atrocities are never committed. The pa
triots preserve strict discipline, and hang
camp followers whenever the latter COM
nit crimes.
On the other hand, the withdrawal OF
Campos is followed by reports that Span
ish volunteers have already begun shoot
ing suspects. The Cubans are fleeing from
the interior, where reign of terror is said
to have already begun. Hundreds of
Cubans thrown into Jail in Santiago prov
ince remain with only suspicion against
them.
The Aledo estate is the only one in
Havana province grinding cane. The in
surgents attempted to burn it Monday,
but we're driven away by heavy guard of
troops. One estate in Santa Clara is grind
ing and two in Santiago are reported to
have begun grinding.
The railroads operate spasmodically.
Armored cars containing troops are at
tached tn every train.
The Cubans are greatly disappointed
over the disaster to Garcia's expedition.
The Government now has Gomez and
Maceo in the Western province and is in
creasing its force of men to prevent their
return. Horses are being taken for the
purpose of forming cavalry force.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH
or TWO MEN.
A Hack of Lumber Falls on Them, but
They Only Sustained IA Few
Bruises.

Two men escaped instant death yester
day morning in a manner which seems
simply miraculous. Mr.. Franz Garnett

formerly owned by Savage & holmes,
assisted by Mr.. X. =. Baber, an en-
ploye, were at work near a large mack
OF lumber in the yard. just at the foot
Of Sixth street, when the pile toppled
over and they were both buried under
a mass OF planks. hiding both completely
from view.
Intense excitement at once prevailed,
for II was thought that the men had been
crushed 20 death. A large crowd of
rescuors went TO work at once. and a
phone message was Immediately sent for
the ambulance.
THE MEN RESCUED.
This vehicle matte all haste to the
scene. with Dr. Labenburg IN charge.
The rescucrs had made such good time
that the men had been dug
out OF their wooden grave be
fore the ambulance arrived. and
il was then found that the lumber
had fallen in such a manner that only
a portion OF its weight rested upon the
men. and Or. Labonburg. upon making
an examination. found that their In
juries consisted Of only few bruises,
which. while painful, are in no way
serious.
Indeed. several OF the rescuers were
worse injured than the men who were
ontombed. Mr. Thomas Goodwin stuck

forced 10 cut 70 the bone 20 get II out.

by the heat, but was soon revived.
