NEW YORK. Jan. PAN air of gloom
pervaded the headquarters of the Cuban
revolutionary party in this city to-day,
night that there had been any flibustering
expedition which had met with disaster,
freely admitted that the story of the wreck
Of the steamer j. w. Hawkins was correct
T. E. Palma. who is the acknowledged head
of the Cuban revolutionary party IN New
York. said that the story was undoubtedly
true but he claimed that the amount OF
money expended on the expedition had
been exaggerated, and that only about
100000 had been expended in fitting out
the steamer ]. w. Hawkins, including arms
and ammunition. "That is" said Mr..
Palma, always presuming that such an
expedition was fitted out. I wish you would
say for me that 1 am placed in a very
delicate position in regard to this whole
matter. Otherwise. would not hesitate
to tell all know about it, for believe that
we have the sympathy of the United States
with US. but it would not be President
Cleveland's policy to aid us in any way.
The Spanish government, in it's present
state. would not hesitate to resort to any
means to place us in a bad light with the
United States. and anything 1 might say
concerning this alleged flibustering scheme
might be distorted to our detriment."
One Of the Cuban leaders made the start
ling announcement that it was evident
there had been treachery in the camp Of
the filibustering party. You see," said he,
I'VE hired an expert in this city to go to
Baltimore to examine the steamer ]. w.

expert reported that the steamer was sea-

his duty properly and the steamer was

traitor on board, who deliberately scuttled
the ship. The latter would seem to be the
case Neither General Garcia, who was in
command of the expedition, nor his son,
who was second in command, nor any OF
the others at the head of the movement

night all went well, apparently, until Sum-

GOMEZ REPORTED DEAD.
UncOnnrmed RumOr Concerning the
Insurgent Commander.


HAVANA, Jan. 29-There Is an insistent
rumor here that Maxine Gomez has died
as a result of his illness. The friends Of
the insurgents place credence in the
rumor and there is no confirmation Of the
report 1t probably owes 1T origin to the
fact that the insurgents tried to buy q
coffin at San Antonio de Losbanos and the
conclusion that it was intended for the
burial of the leader of the Cuban insurrec-
ton has been jumped at.
An engagement Of some Importance has
undoubtedly taken place between Gomez's
forces and the pursuing columns Of the
Spaniards at the plantation OF Santa Lucia.
The official report makes no statement Of
the result Of the fight beyond asserting
that the insurgents lost twenty-one killed
and ninety wounded. The Spanish losses
are not stated.
Several members of the central committee
of the Reformist party have resigned.
1t is estimated that about one thousand
persons belonging to Sabanilia have fed
from that town to Matanzas.
The insurgents have plundered the stores
in the village Cidra and have attacked
Guira Macurijes, south Of Sabanlla. The
garrison, however, repulsed the enemy,
whose attack was twice renewed The in
surgents suffered severe loss, retreated five
miles and then concentrated their forces.
This morning the column commanded by
Colonel Vicuna encountered twenty-five in

EATEN BY CANNIBAL INDIANS.


HERMOSILLO. Mex, Jan. "a terrible
fate is believed TO have befallen a party of
five gold prospectors, who left here several
weeks ago for the interior of Tiburon island
which is inhabited by the Serbs tribe of In
dams. There were six members of the ex-
ploring party originally. but one of the
men has arrived at a ranch near here and
reports that he and his companions came
on a village of Indins: that they were all
taken captive and preparations were begun
to butcher them. when he succeeded in max
ing his escape. He believes all the other
members OF the party were killed and their
flesh eaten by the Indians. He states that
the Indians all wear valuable gold orna-
ments. and that there were many evidences
or the existence OF rich mines on the island.

Mai. George A Armes, the retired army
officer, whose arrest for insulting superior
officer was order by General Schoheld, and
who was released on a sensational ruling by
Judge Bradley, of the District Supreme
Court, was given q formal hearing by Judge
Brady to-day. Counsel Morrison, for the
defense. presented the mandate of the Court
Of Appeals, reversing the ruling of the
lower court. He explained that 1t not
the intention of the government to carry
out in its entirety the decision of the Court
of Appeals and again place Major Armes
in close confinement pending court-martial,
but that the prosecution practically sought
only to have it's course indicated. Major
Armes's counsel agreed to these contentious
of the prosecution. The court, In disposing
of the case. said the whole case appeared
to be a piece of spite work on the part OF
General Schofield, ans that this belief was
justified by the fact that there now APP
peared no intention to prosecute further.

structive1y under arrest hut it is probable

conclusion that such "a resolution should

task of wording it. From the developments
of the week it seems possible that the
committee will be divided along party lines
on the question and that the Democrats
will make fight in committee and in the

at first that the committee might frame a
mild expression of disapproval, to which
the Democrats are manifesting a DISPOSE
