Tampa, Fla, April 22.-The following
letter has just been received from Gen.
Collazo,, who recently left this city on
an expedition to Cuba. 1t is dater La
Coronela, Cardenas, April 3:
Il have been more than agreeably
surprised since my arrival here. No
one outside the island can imagine the
magnitude or power of the revolution.
The power of the Spanish government
does not extend beyond the ground that
their soldiers occupy and that only in
cludes the forts they live in we'll in
trenched and the cities they inhabit
Not an estate grinds without our per-
mission; even Portugalete, belonging
to Don Manuel Calvo (the chief sup
porter Of the Spanish government in
Cuba has nicely framed and hung over
the entrance to the estate Maximo Co.
mez's order for its protection
Since my arrival here l have seen
many Spaniards that live out in the
country as Spaniards and as such are
respected by our forces. They are
bound to work so as not to die Of hun
ger, and as they cannot make aliving
in the towns are bound TO work in the
fields. We respect them and do not in
terefer with them, and yet every now
and then they fall victims to Weyler's
companions, whose conduct is all the
more vile and infamous because it is SO
hypocritical. He protests publicly
against these outrages, but his private
orders are TO the contrary.
They call us incendiaries, and yet
they burn everything they come across
where they know that the poor owners
have not the means Of letting the out
side world know what is going on. The
greater part of the killed that they re-
port consist OF the 'pacficOs, who live
in the country by the permission of the
Spanish, in order to gain their living
and not starve in the cities. These are
the victims and these are the ones who
will go to fill up the number of their
so-called killed in battle. The wake
of the Spanish troops can be followed
by burnt remains of all the small huts
and the destruction of every farm or
bit of land that is under cultivation.
Every horse or animal that they come
across is killed, so as to prevent US
from utilizing them"

Cleveland Ohio. April 22.-All the
reserve police in this city were massed
at noon to-day at the Central police sta
ton in readiness for expected trouble
on the lumber docks between the union
and non-union lumber showers.
Rio,ing began shortly after noon.
The men we're armed with knives and
reviewers and came together at Pack,
Gray & Co.'S docks.
Two men were seriously wounded and
one perhaps fatally. Many have bruis-
ed faces and Diacked eyes.
\ vessel was to be unloaded at the
deck and 225 union men were on hand
to do the work. They claimed the cap
tain had given them the job
While they were getting ready for the
work. a large crowd Of nOn-union la
b0rers put in an appearance and their
leaders, John Powitzki and August
Swego, claimed the work belonged to
them.
A wrangle Immediately followed and
in few minutes the men were throwing
bricks and in various ways endeavorlng
to annihilate each other.
Svego, the non-union leader pulled a
revolver but before he had time to use
it, one of the other gang stabbed him
in the neck.
AS he fell he was grabbed by the Do-
lice and hustled toward the patrol wa
gOn. There were but three officers on
the ground at the time, one of whom
received a serious wound in the head.
Henry Bedliham, of No. 357 Central
avenue, a nOn-uniOn man, was kicked
insensible and is terribly injured.
About this time Captain Madigan with
40 officers arrived on the scene. The
leaders of the riot were hustled into
patrol wagons.
The police managed to stop the fight
temporarily. but there is every pros
pect Of further trouble, as the men are
swearing vengeance on each other.

LOUISIANA RETURNS.

New Orleans, April 22-The latest
returns up to noon to-day cause the
Foster Democrats to claim that they
have carried the State by from 10000
to 250O0 majority, although Pharr's
managers in this city claim the State
by small majority. The great Dem
ccratic loss from 10000 majority in
1892 TO very small majority even if
they are not defeated in the State, is
attributed largely to the organization
by the national Republican parry of the
sugar planters and the combination en-
tered into between all Republicans and
the Populists
