VISIT TO GEN. GOMEZ
scontirued from First Page,

bic fields of cane. or upon the sharp ridges
of the hard clay road. Each detachment
had a small number Of wounded. Those
seriously manned were carried in ham,
mocks. attached to long poles. the ends of
which rested on the shoulders Of two men.
Six other men marched alongside to be
ready as reliefs to the two carrying the
wounded.
With the exception Of the matter of shoes
nearly all the men were well clothed. They
wore immense straw hats, that in other
armies would interfere with marching in
clcse order. but which afforded ample pro-
lection from the rays of the sun. These
hats are discarded before a battle and a
bareheaded man need not fear to receive a
machete cut, even In the most exciting
hand-to-hand encounters The Spanish SOL
d1ers, on the contrary. always in battle
wear their white straw hats, and the Cuban
soldier brings down his huge knife wher-
ever he sees one.
Gen. Banderas Encountered.
The last detachment met on the road
about 5 O'Clock pm, was under the COM
mand of Gen. Banderas himself. He is a
man of splendid physical build, rather
grun In his manner at first sight, and black
as the ace Of spades. He was marching his
men In detachments. he said, Just to keep

ing.
Banderas Is one of the truest patriots and
best fighters Of Cuba. He is nearly seventy
years of age now, but he is almost as ac-
tive as when, a quarter century ago, he
was sent to the Spanish prison at Ceuta,
Africa, to serve out a life sentence for be-
ing rebel. Ceuta was as great an institu-

Absence of Crime.

The police authorities of Scotland Yard
are congratulatinS themselves on the re-
markable absence Of crime which has pre-
vailed in the me tropolis during the past
year. The annual police report, which will
shortly be issued shows that London, in
its freedom from the effects of law break
ers, has made a record which may well be
envied by the governments Of all large
cities. One of the chief officials at Scotland
Yard stated to a representative of the AS
sociated Press:
1.-THE absence of any startling epidemic Of
crime in London is due to the fact that the
police authorities adopt the maxim an
ounce Of prevention is worth pound of
cure In fact, since Jack the Ripper.
scare, there has been nothing of a nature
which has caused the department any great
anxiety. True, in SO large a place as Lon
don, there will always bo daring crimes
committed; but the police pride themselves
that the tactics applied by famous detec-
tive in New York-that Of knowing the
whereabouts Of all the leading criminals
applies with equal effect to London
What's on at the Theaters.
Business at the leading theaters has been
good throughout the week, although the
death of Prince Henry of Battenberg, fol-
lowed by the court going into mourning,
has affected the attendance In the most
fashionable theaters. But crowded houses
are still the order of-the day at thesHay-
market, where the interest In ''Trilby" has
not In the least abated. At the Lyric,
where THE Sign Of the Cross is nightly
turning away money, and at the st.
James, where George Alexander has. II not
wholly artistic, at least monetary sue
cess.
The other theaters, the Criterion, Garrick
and Savoy, are all doing more than the
average business with "The Squire of
Danes" 1.-The Professors Love Story and
'.The Mikado," respectively.
The first performance of Fergus Hume's
new play, 1.-The Fool of the Family will be
given tonight at the Duke of York's Thea
ter. Mr. Cartwright has, in the new piece,
a strong comedy part, and H. B. Irving and
Gertrude Kingston In their respective char
acters will be seen to great advantage.
Mrs. Catherine Fisk, the American con-
tralto, has won golden opinions by her rem
dition Of "Delilah" at Glasgow in Saint
Saens, the great work Of that name.
