LIBERTY OR DEATH.
The Cubans WIN Accept Nothing from
Spain but independence.

cpdlu Dut AuoepcnuCAO'
Capt. W. d. Smith of the Cuban
army, spent considerable time Friday
with the senate committee on foreign
relations, In brief interview with a
representative of the Associated Press:
"The Cuban army is now in better
condition to resist the Spaniards and
to maintain the fight for independence
than il has been since the beginning
of the war, Gen. Gomez has u well
disciplined army of about 10000 men,
who are determined to hold out until
their efforts shall be crowned with VIC
tory. Our soldiers are rapidly pro-
curing arms. and every day serves to
put them on a better footing in this
respect. Our troops enjoy a vast adj
vantage over the Spaniards In that they
are not injuriously affected by the
climate. may say ! have not seen q
case OF yellow fever or small pox
among the Cuban soldiers since have
been on the island, and that have not
been sick day rnyself. Furthermore,
We have no difficulty in feeding our
troops. In the portion of the country
in which the Cubans are in control the
poems are protected and we draw our
supplies from this source. Our COM
missary is therefore regularly renewed
and our supplies nre received in guam
titles quite sufficient to meet oil our
wants"
In reply to question Capt. Smith
said: cali talk about autonomy and Of
Spanish reforms for Cuba is 80 much
breath wasted. There is not man in
the Cuban hrmy who will agree to ac
cept anything short of absolute indie
pendence.
Capt Smith is an American. He has
been in Cuba for year and is an Off
Ger in Gen. Gomez body guard.
