ARMS AND AMMUNITION EASY
TO LAND.

"There Is no trouble whatever in land
ing arms and ammunition and medical
stores on the Cuban coast whom once the
vessels containing them get beyond the
risk of illegal detention by the United
States authorities said Quesada.
During the last three weeks Gen. Cold
azo, Major Pena and Gen. Calixto Gar
cha, whom the Spanish minister vigorous
~ denied having landed reached Cuba,
landing at three separate points almost
simultaneously from three different YES
sells. Besides this. in the same time, four
other vessels took thousands of guns and
maohetes and countless cartridges safely
to Cuba, and these stores are now in the
hands OIL the reyolutionists. This is the
way we answer Gen. Weyler's proolama-
lions. He may continue his exalted
course of butohering prisoners in the
plaza of the Moro. and directing his
brave legions to massacre defenseless
women and old and decrepit men, but he
dares not show his nose OUTSIDE Of Ha-
vana. Matanzas is two hours from Ha-
vana by railroad, and he hasn't moved
his headquarters there yet.
"WhyEdid l say we had no trouble in
landing stores and ammunition? Why.
my dear sir, the Spanish gunboats are
like tna Spanish general in chief-they
take good care to stay within the safe
protection Of u fortified port.

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

"Gen. Weyler's troubles, however, are
not confined to the insurgents, nor to the
subordinate Spanish generals, of whom
no less than fifty have left the island in
disgust since the beginning of the war.
The farce OF holding an election in time
of war and when all the island is under
martial law will be enacted on the 18th
of April Only the rabid Spanish popu-
lation will take part in this election.
The reform party and the home rule par
ty have both decided to have nothing to
do with it. We have just received the
declarations Of these parties to this
effect. The home rule party declare that
the perturbation now in prog ress in
the island has not lessened in extent and
Importance, and that therefore they de-
clare against holding elections at time
when the conditions make it impossible
to faithfully express the opinion of the
eleotral body. This is from the home
rule central committee. OF course the
American people may expect to hear af-
ter the election a resounding declaration
