CUBAs PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN
INSURGENTS Win Big Interpretation of
Congress Gives Encouragement

The New York World has cipher
dispatch from Carlos Garcia, son of
Gen. Calixto Garcia. the leader of the
bermuda expedition To Cuba, which
says the men and the heavy artillery
were landed from the Bermuda in a bay
about so miles west of Havana. There
were Is boatloads of rifles, cartridges
and swords. The force made a march
OF 40 miles inland, where they were
met by Gen. Maceo 1t was decided
that an attack should be made upon
flnar del Rio, the largest inland town
and Spanish stronghold. Maceo and
6arcia, with 1900 men, swept down
upon Pinar del Rio early in the morn
ing and il was complete surprise.
Inc Spanish troops numbered 5000
and they were thrown into a state of
panic by the onslaught. The use
OF the artillery which Garcia had
brought added to their terror. We
captured two pieces of heavy artillery,
l,7OO Mausser rifles, 100000 cart
ridges, ., 500 swords and stores; burned
600 houses, sparing the weak. The
Spanish lost $50 killed and 200 wounded.
The Cuban loss was $50 killed and
wounded.
Gen. Garcia has gone to the eastern
end of the island, because that is his
ola home, to organize an army of
picked men. He expects to have an
organized army of volunteers which
Will number -, 900 men, and "A regular
force of TO- 900 men.
The news of the T.. :. congress in
passing resolutions recommending the
recognition of the insurgents as belllg-
erents was received with great JOY by
the provisional Cuban legation at
Washington and by the Cuban junta at
New York. The Cubans say they have
men, horses, small arms and ammuni-
tlon enough TO maintain their control
of all of the island that can be held
by cavalry and infantry. But now
they need modern artillery to free the
remainder of the island controlled by
fortified towns and camps, and also to
hold seaport towns after they acquire
them. Such needed artillery and am
muntion would cost hundreds of thous-
ands, if not millions, of dollars and
recognition of them as belligerents
would enable them to sell $50, 600, 000
worth of Cuban bonds. While the
passage of the resolution is but little
more than a recommendation ii rem
ders more probable action by the Pres
ident and lends moral support to the
Cuban cause and increases their credit.

and has been given because it

Republican Platform.

| wish in the following remarks to
explain some mistaken ideas people
seem to have of the republican plat
form in regard to the financial plank.
In conversation lately [ have found
several who think if the republicans
come into power at the next election
that our money system will be SO
changed as to admit of the use of
nothing as circulating medium ex-
cept gold coin. Now the view is erro-
neous as the republican party does
not contemplate any change whatever
from the present system, for in their
platform they declare for gold
as the final redemption money, which
it has been since the resumption of
specie payment in 1879, system
under which the country has prospered.
And there was no fault found with it
until the last democratic administra
ton and there would not have been
any fault found with it then had it not
been for the-Wilson Bill-taritf for
revenue only, and the silver barons OF
the west trying to double the value Of
their property. In my opinion Mr..
Editor the cause of the hard times is
not with our financial system but with
the tariff. Give us back the good old
republican tariff properly adjusted,
which brought into the U. S. treasury
d surplus instead of a deficiency.
under which there was no necessity to
issue bonds to pay the running ex-
penses OF the government and we Will
not hear very much talk about the
needs Of free silver, only from the
silver barons of the west and we ex-
pect to hear from them always. But
the money question'is being forced up
on us as an issue in this campaign by
parties who have contended for years
that the republican tariff was robbery
and having found out their mistake by
actual experiment have like drown
ing man grasped at anything and
made the money question an issue.
The republicans have met it fairly and
squarely, there is no mistaking their
position and if time and space would
permit would say something further
on the money question.
Yours Truly.
a REPUBLICAN.
