CUBANS CAN FIGHT
Meet the Spanish in Open Field and
Repulse Them.

By Special Wire TO the Sunday Light.
New York, June 20.-A dispatch to
the Heard from Puerto Principe, Gu
ba, via Key West, says:
Further details have reached this
city of the engagement between the
Spanish column under Generals Cas-
tellanos and Godoy and the Cuban
forces, under Maxine Gomez on the
Saratoga plantation on the 9th, 10th
and 18th inst. The Spanish command
ers left Principe with $500 men, cav
airy, infantry and artillery, under ord
ers to scale Najasa heights and atteck
Gomez in his mountain headquarters.
Advised of their movements Gomez
marched to meet them with 1,S00 men
only. all mounted and well armed and
munitioned. The opposing armies first
encountered each other at Saratoga,
midway between Najasa and Principe
City, late on the afternoon of the 9th.
Castellanos, with a force about equal
to that of Gomez, opened the battle.
The cOmbatants kept each other at
bay by an incessant fire for more than
40 hours. Castellanos used more than
100000 rounds of ammunition, and
but for the arrival of achievements,
led by Godoy, might have been wholly
defeated.
General Castellanos, who command
ed the Spanish troops, is veteran of
the 10 years war, and one of the alb
lest generals in Spain. 1t is due to his
extreme caution ON this occasion that
he saved his command from total an
utilization at the hands of Gomez,
whose superior tactics, however, COM
pletely outgeneraled him.
The Spanish officers pronounced the
engagement the most important one
so far fought in this province, while
the Cubans say it is only the begin
ming of Gomez's coming aggressive
campaign. The number of Spanish
dead is yet unknown.

Weimar, Texas, June 20.-The Mex
lean boil weevil, the deadly enemy of
the cotton plant, has made its appear
ance in this county in the lowland
fields and is raising havoc with the
cotton, especially near the Colorado
river, where the finest cotton is al
ways grown. If it is not destroyed
i'm a short while thousands of dollars
damage to the crop will result in this
locality alone.
Rain, which was badly needed here,
has visited this section and is of great
benefit to crops.

COMMENT ON CLEWS

The appended caustic commentary
upon "Clews' Weekly Letter. was ten
dered for publication, concurrently with
the bankers letter, but through an in
advertence failed to appear in yester-
days Herald.
From the stock -jobbing center of
money-juggling Wall street Henry
Clews, the banker issues a weekly letter
in advertisement of his business and. as
incident thereto, to promulgate' far and
wide his interested views supporting
the plans Of the money syndicates which,
for a score of years, have played the
game of Heads l win, tails you lose"
with the American people.
AN analysis of Mr.. Clews' last letter
discovers nothing of news or argument;
but the banker takes the high tone of a
Mr. Podsnap, waving off and whist
ling down the wind the red revolution
lists of the west who are disposed to
make the audacious demand that the
coin obligations of this government shall
not be changed to read payable in gold.
Mr.. Clews does not recognize in the
mighty ground-swell, which is becom-
ing manifest all over the union, in IA
vor of the free coinage Of silver. any
thing more than the wild demands of a
Jew demagogues and malcontents. Mr.
Clews will awake, before many moons
to a realization that the demand for tbs
rehabilitation of silver has its inspira-
ton in an intelligent patriotism, as faI
removed from any just imputation OF
dishonesty or debt-repudiation as the
legitimate business of the creators Of
values in the United tSates is above
the stock manipulations of Wall street
gamblers "

ducts is due to a large surplus Of crops.
The crops produced are only commen-
surate with the demand. The cotton
crop, for instance, in the south, was
iarSssr .SIs... last st. yea. vYhsas cQwparsd. with
respondingly Mexico today consumes
treble the amount Of cotton and cotton
goods which she did fifteen years ago.
The crops of 1894 and 1895 in the United
States were no larger in proportion to
the population than were the crops of
1874 and 1875.
"The only source from which relief can
be expected Is the free coinage of sill
yer. l at first thought the United States
should not alone adopt the bimetallic
standard, but have changed my mind
since I have more closely studied the
matter. The United States produce
surplus today in forty-five articles of
commerce, and II the bimetallic stand
ard Is adopted and market for these
surplus products is sought for among
the producing countries OF Cen
trail and South America, China and ia
pan, we can get along without any as
sistance from European countries. But
we must look to our commercial rela-
tions with countries using silver as their
currency.
"Mr. Bryan Is an ideal candidate. He
is extremely popular and will grow
more and more in the peoples favor as
the campaign progresses. He Will, IN
my opinion, carry every state south OF
the Ohio and west of the Mississippi, and

less emphatic and unqualified In his dec-
laration of loyalty to his colleague.
But whether Mr.. Bryan formally ac-
cepts the Populist nomination or not,
one thing is apparent. and that Is that
he will get the bulk of the Populist vote;
the seal of the conventions approval
of hisscandidacy was not needed to as
sure that. In Mr. Bryan the Populist
rank and file recognize a fearless and
intellectual exponent Of their more ra-
tional demands, and especially Of the
demand upon which they are best united.
the demand for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 10 ounces
of silver to one ounce of gold.
The effect of a separate nomination for
vice president will be either the placing
of an electoral ticket in behalf Of Bryan
and Watson in every state in the union
or an apportionment, in states where
the Populists have a considerable vote,
of electors between Democrats and Pop
ulists. The latter plan. though entailing
more trouble than the other, Is the one
best calculated to assure the success
of the nominee of the two parties for

"IN A SILVER COUNTRY"

In a recent issue of the New York
Independent, a publication with decid-
ed gold standard tendencies. Rev. DR..
Francis E. Clark. president of the Socie-
ty Of Christian Endeavor, who has been
travelling quite extensively in Mexico.
records some interesting observations
Of the industrial condition OF that re-
public, under the head Of In Silver
Country. AS the effect of free coinage
of silver in Mexico is the subject Of ami
mated discussion, what the reverend
gentleman has to say Is possessed Of
more or less significance. The doctor
writes:
Il have just completed a journey Of
about $500 miles in Mexico. Par excel
lence. this is the silver country of the
world. 1t is on silver basis and re-
joices in it. 1t is held up by the advo-
Gates of free silver as a bright and shin
ing light of what the silver tonic, when
freely injected into the veins of a nation,
will do for it. 1 write not as partisan
of silver or gold. but simply as traveller
who has kept his eyes open. There Is no
denying the fact that Mexico is prosper
ous considered from the point of view
of her past history. Never has she en-
joyed such period of prosperity as dur
ten the reign (for the quadrennial elec-
tions are little more than a farce)-of
that enlightened and progressive ruler,
Porfirio Diaz. Industries have been
stimulated, factories started, mines de-
veloped, and internal Improvements ac-
complished, at which the dominant par
ty may we'll point with pride. The Mex
lean papers are full of glorification Of
the recent achievements of the republic
and ascribe her prosperity largely to
the free coinage of silver. Many of them
assume an air of superiority and friend
ly patronage when speaking of our ma
ton, which is frequently alluded to in
more than half-ironical vein as the
model republic. These Mexicans are po-
lite. generous, hospitable. full of eager
hopes for their country, and patriotic
to the last degree. 1t Is a race with
large possibilities and hopeful future.
Is free silver the good genius of the re-
public? l will leave 1t to financiers to
say. I only record the impressions of
traveller"

PERSONAL NOTES

Vidal, one of the most famous sculp-
tors of France, was stone blind at the
time when he executed some of his most
famous works.
Among the major generals of the Brit
ish army is j. B. Richardson, who is
remarkable as the only officer of his
rank who has no medals. He is 5S years
old and has seen forty-one years of act
lie service.
The German empress was exceedingly
friendly towards Mrs Uhl wife of the
United States ambassador, upon the oc-
casion of that lady's first audience with
her majesty The empress conducted
her conversation in English.
The Marquis of Lorne is said to be
engaged upon a historical survey or
Windsor Castle on a somewhat ambi-
tious literary scale, material which he
collected when writing little guide book
recently having led him to desire to
pursue his researches under the favora-
BILE conditions involved in his office as
governor.
The Empress Eugene appears to have

and her suite passed along there were

THE RATIFICATION

The demonstration of the Democracy
of Los Angeles and vicinity last evening
in approval of the nominations made by
the recent national Democratic conven-
ton was, in point of numbers, enthusi-
asm and popular interest, the most not
able affair of the kind ever seen in South
ern California. 1t was a ratification
deeply significant of the wave of favor
which is sweeping the country for Bryan
and Sewall and the real party of the
people, and gloriously prophetic of the
victory that is to come in November
next
Both the parade and the mass meeting
furnished abundant evidence of whole
sale accessions to the Democratic party
Men. by the scores and by the hun
dreds, who have heretofore been identi-
fed with political parties In opposition
to the Democratic party, testified their
conversion to the cause Of Bryan and
Sewall by proud participation in the one
and enthusiastic attendance on the 9TH
er. And so it is all over the land. The
disappointed and the discontented are
flocking to the standard of the clans of
Jefferson and making up that mighty
majority which shall bury Mckinley, and
his schemes for the perversion of the
powers of government in the interests
of the trusts and monopolists Of the re-
public, so deep that search for the re-
mains will be futile and foolish.
