assassins and Adventures. The Hav
ana Spanish volunteers lost faith in
their great chief, and began to conspire
for his immediate removal, until he was
politely told by the Madrid government
to resign: when he had done so, the re-
nowned butcher of men, General Wey-
Ter, was appointed in his stead.
The policy of terror and butchery was
at once inaugurated and diligently pur-
sued. It's effects, however, instead of
improving the chances of Spanish sue
cess, have diminished them. Thousands
of Cubans who, under the administra-
ton of General Martinez Campos, had
remained undecided and neutral, upon
the advent of Weyler either joined
their brothers in the field or left the
island, and are now fighting for its
freedom or cooperating from abroad
in the promotion and advancement Of
their country's cause.
The Cubans have under their control
about three-fourths Of the area of the
island. In the Provinces of Santiago,
Puerto Principe and Santa Clara, tho
Cuban civil government is fully es-
tablished, and the same is true to some
extent in Matanzas and Pinar del Rio.
In the course of few months, unless
something most unexpected and extra
ordinary happens, the Cuban flag will
float all over the island, and the Re-
public of Cuba, free and independent,
will be an accomplished fact.-Fidel

General Martinez Campos was COM
PEELED by General Gomez to change his
basis of operation seven times, and was
finally so overwhelmed at Coliseo that
the Spanish commander escaped to Ha-
vana and began hurriedly to fortify
the approaches to the city, fearing that
1t might be attacked at any moment.

he had promised, was only few miles

The Spaniards, meanwhile. having at
their command the mail, telegraph and
all the means of publicity, lost no time
in incorporating, in the island and
abroad, the character of the outbreak
and its Importance and significance. In
this they were so successful at first,

This is a prcsaic age, in which court

various attractions, base ball, dancing

The failure of the last uprising, in
,sSs 90 discouraged the leaders who
had taken part in the war OF 1S6S-7S,
mat few of them could believe in the
feasibility of any successful movement
Nv many years to come. The Cuban
reope had suffered very severely dur
Inc the ton-year war, and they were
noor and disheartened. Had the Span

end in disaster and cause tho sacrifice
OF many lives.
There was a man, however. who be-
ieved that Spain would never redeem
any pledge or fulfill any promise
made to the Cubans, and who, even
when appearances were most deceiying,
and when not few were misled by
them, persisted in saying to his coun-
4 trymen: you are losing your time
hoping against hope; Spain cannot give
what she does not possess. Your sal
vation must come from your own eff
forts. Prepare, for the revolution is
coming; 1t is inevitable, and you must
not be caught unawares." This man
was Jose Marti. At the age of fifteen
years he had been cast into prison in
havana and transported to the penal
colony OF Ceuta in Africa. After the
peace of FL Zanjon, in 1878, he was set
at liberty and sent by his father,
spaniard, to Madrid. where he studied
aw and also the character of Spanish
public men, and the social and political
conditions OF the peninsula.

DER OF rifles and cartridges. Probably
no less than One-hals of the Cuban
soldiers have been provided with arms

Spaniards. who have so frequently as
serted that the insurgents do not fight,
have never explained how Spanish rifles
and cartridges have been transferred
to the Cubans.
Toward the end OF the month of July

On April 18th Captain-General CAL
leJa, then in command, was succeeded
by Martinez Campos, who had come
over from Spain with thousands Of sol
diers, score of the best Spanish Gen
erals, unlimited powers and good
supply of money. Immediately after
taking charge of the government of the
island, he announced to The world that
the war would soon be over; but few
days after, better acquainted, perhaps,
with what he had to face, he informed
the home government that he had found
everything disorganized and In con-
fusion, and could not begin active oper-
ations until order had been re-estab-
lished. This was equivalent 10 confess
ing that nothing would be done until
the following November or December,
as the rainy season was near at hand,
and it was not to be expected that he
would then begin his campaign. Mean

rious public works in order TO give en-
pioyment to the country laborers, as
| one OF his theories of the cause of the
| disturbance was lack OF occupation for
the laboring classes. In one OF his OK
.-ensSians along ,fho coast. about the
! middle OF July, he decided TO pass from
Manzanillo to Bayamo with some four
thousand men. on the way, at Pera-
leios, he encountered General Antonio
Maceo and his army, and a bloody
battle was fought The Spanish forces
were utterly routed: their General.

Campos himself came very near falling
into the hands of the Cuban general.
This was the first and the last attempt
of General Martinez CampOs to travel
by land in the eastern part of the
island.
In September u convention OF dele
gates from the six provinces met at
1imaguayu. in the Province of Puerto
Principe, and on the 10th a provisional
constitution was adopted. 1t is q very
simple instrument. In the preamble
all political bonds between the people
of Cuba and Spain are solemnly de-
clared to be dissolved, and the Republic
of Cuba to be free and independent.
Then follow twenty-four short articles.
The supreme power of the Republic is
vested in n council composed OF presi-
dent, vice-president, and four secre-
taries for the dispatch of the business
of war, of the interior, of foreign affairs
and of the treasury, and four assistant

To Utilize Hell Gate Water.

There appears no longer to be room
for doubt that the street railways of
Buffalo can be operated economically
and successfully with electricity gener-
ated by Niagara Falls. Under the con-
tract just closed, 1000 horse power is
to be furnished, but preparations are
making to supply as high at 10000.
The success at Buffalo has given rise to
the suggestion that New York city
should utilize the water which now runs
as waste through He'll Gate to furnish
power. heat and light for the city.
There is a considerable difference be-
tween the flow at Niagara and at He'll
Gate, but undoubtedly the latter might
be utilized to advantage, even though
the results were much smaller than at
Buffalo.

Two days later, the provisional gov
