CUBANS ARE
NEARING ACRISIS
General Marin is Attempting to Strife
the Death Blow Before
Keyler Arrives.
BETTER CLASS LEAVING CUBA
Provisions Are Dear--kOmea rnt IN Tai
form With the Hope That They viii
Initiate the Ama1oas
Of Dahomey.

Copyrighted. 1896, by Associated Press)
Havana, Feb. i.--conaiderable anxiety
is felt here regarding the result OF the
military operations now being conducted
against Maximo Gomez and Antonio Ma
Geo. under the persona, direction OF Gen
eral Marin. acting captain general OF
Cuba.
It is believed that Marin has been aim
ing 10 strike the death blow before the
arrival Of General Weyler. the successor
OF Martinez De campOs. as captain gem
erai OF Cuba. and II Is understood that
he has taken steps TO accomplish this
end. But ambition Is not the only spur
70 General Marin's activity. II Is admitted
even In Cuban circles, that the insurrec-
ton has reached preearious stage from
several causes. notably the lack OF am
munition and arms and want OF fresh
horses and supplies. The steps taken
BY the Spanish in gathering in all the
horses and cattle possible have had the
effect Of weakening the insurgents con-
siderably. Their horses. as a rule. ar
almost worn out. and. being kept almost
continually on the march for months
past, they are not allowed to recuperate.
The Spaniards seem 10 be aiming to keep
the insurgents constantly moving from
place to place. night and day, and to
gradually wear them out. There is lit
tie doubt that the insurgents are feeling
the effects OF this. for their trails are
marked by numbers Of lame horses.
The exodus OF the better class Of peo-
pie from Cuba continues, and the prices
OF provisions continue to go up In fact,
matters have almost reached a point
where the poorer classes will have to
depend on the authorities for relief Lux
uries are worth their weight In gold.
business Is nearly thing OF the past,
and trade with the interior may be said
TO have ceased. excepting that part OF
II which is carried on by vessels Coun-
try merchants are either bankrupt or
nearly so. and banking firms are being
called upon from all sides for assistance.
People who can do so are IN many cases
realizing upon their belongings and every
thing increases the feeling OF depression.
There Is no glimmer OF sunshine any
where. the best that can be expected be-
ing a long. tedious struggle with an un-
satisfactory ending to business men in
any case. II is now claimed that the
wives OF negroes win be given uniforms
and they are now allowed to accompany
the insurgents on their raids. Those in
command hope that they win Initiate
the achievements Of the Amazons In
Dahomey.

FIRE IN on TANK
Grow Of the Bremerhaven Fought Flames
for five Hours.


New York. Feb. l.--Fire In the bunkers
OF the big tank steamer Bremerhaven.
laden with oil, came very near destroy
ing the vessel while she was at sea. She
rrived here yesterday. having left Balti-
ore on January Is. with her tanks filled
with crude petroleum. She was bound
for antwerp.
One OF the stokers saw smoke pouring
cut OF the coal bunkers early last Mon
dany morning. II was inky smoke. too,
watch showed that the flame beneath Il
was fed on oil as well as coal. Captain
MINES. who has been travelling in oil
tankers for years. hastily beat his crew
to FIRE quarters, and the fight against the
fire began. The flames were found deep
In one OF the starboard bunkers, and
some petroleum seemed TO have seeped
out from one OF the tanks into the coal
The fire was perilously near the big
tanks, which were slowed thousands OF
gallons OF liquid which might at any time
explode There was a stiff gale blowing,
and the Bremerhaven was tossed about
by heavy seq. Lines OF the hose were
run into the stokehole, and the water
was poured In until II was flooded.
The fires were drawn, and the big
steamer was drifting about on the storm
tossed seas The crew deluged the bunk
ers with water. and prevented the air
from reaching the fire by means OF
squares OF canvas. placed over every
aperture
The men worked for five hours before
the fire was under control. After 1t was
extinguihsed It was found that the YES
sci was leaking. Captain MINES decid I'd
to put back 10 New York. The Bremen
haven anchored in the bay yesterday
afternoon.

opinion that the island OF Cuba was lost

The best course for Spain 10 take. the

TO come TO some sort OF agreement with
the United States whereby she could OBJ
tain some substantial return for the
cession Of the island. but he was OF the
notion that Il was probably too late for
even such a transaction as that now
