LETTER FROM GOMEZ.
He Is Confident of the Success Of the
Cuban's Cause.

He Is Confident OF the Success of the
Cuban's Cause.
New YORK, June I9.-The Cuban
junta has received a long letter from
General Maxine Gomez, dated La
Gloria, Sancti Spiritus, May 10. Gomez
writes: II move freely among Wey-
ler's swarming soldiers, and in the daily
battles that occur the reports of mausers
resound in the midst of smoke that
arises from the work of incendiarism of
the would-be victors. Weyler has been
unable, despite all his efforts to compel
me to change my plans, and when he
dares to announce that Las Villas is
pacified, we are defeating i'll open field
his columns, and our cavalry, with its
machete charges, routs the enemy. This
was done recently by the forces under
the Cuban brigadier, Jose Miguel
Gomez, and those under Colonel Jose
De Monteaguado, and similar encounters
are frequent.
when the large Spanish columns
make the woods tremble with their can
nonade and musketry when they have
been compelled to execute quick marches
and to hide during the night in their en-
campments in the woods, without dar-
ing to light campfires for fear of our
sharpshooters, the papers i'll Sancti
Spiritus assert that this part of the
island is pacified. Similar assertion is
made i'll respect to Pinar del Rio and
Matanzas, though in these provinces
continuous fighting is going on under
the leadership Of active and able Off
GERS. But Weyler must lie in order to
suit the Spanish government, to whom
he owes obedience, and he lies impu-
IDENTIFY, as calmly as he beholds the
sword of the assassin sink into the
bosoms of women and children and old
men.
THE war continues with success in
spite Of Weyler, his men and his in
fanny. | dare affirm, based upon my
experience in this kind Of warfare, that
the winter campaign will soon be over,
and our army will be unimpaired, and
the Spanish cause without any advan-
tage. The revolution is, therefore,
stronger than ever and we shall con.
tinue without serious obstacle with
greater faith as to the ultimate result
'If this devastating war, which is
costing 80 many Cuban lives, and both
Cuban and foreign property, must cease
and peace is to come, 1t must be with
independence. We hold very dear the
lives of our gallant soldiers, and in or.
der to spare them we are willing to
make o pecuniary sacrifice, though we
are convinced that independence will
soon be reached. Spain's treasury is
exhausted. She has been humiliated
On the other hand, we feel hopeful and
strong, and we stand firmly united
against her."

QUEENS JUBILEE
The Land of Little Johnnie Bull
Celebrates the
Goth YEAR OF WCTORIA's REIGN
British Subjects in This and Other
Countries Also Pay Homage
to Their Queen.
QUEEN VIC Is HALE AND HEARTY

LONDON. June 21.-Queen Victoria
began the celebration of her jubilee.
commemorating the Goth year Of her
reign, yesterday. as was beftting her
entire career, before the altar Of her
faith. Throughout London, the United
Kingdom and the empire, in every ca
thedral, church or chapel of the estab-
lished church of England was held
services similar to those at st. Georges
chapel, Windsor, where her majesty
paid her devotions and offered solemn
thanks to God.
The announcement that the services
Mt st. Georges chapel would be private
and for the members of the royal fam
lily, prevented the gathering Of large
crowd. The scene was most impressive
and the services were simple. Her
majesty sat in the chair of state inn
mediately in front of the communion
rail and just beside the brass plate
whose inscription designates the spot
which was the temporary place of in
terment of the prince consort.
The ladies and gentlemen who are
the grand officers of the queens house
hold entered first, followed by the mill
tary knights of Windsor in the full
costume of cock hats and scarlet coats.
The Duke of Devonshire and Lord
Rosebery occupied their stalls as
Knights of the Garter. The rest Of the
church was empty, the seats Of the
royal family being near the queens.
The dean of Windsor, wearing the
insignia of chaplain of the Order Of the
Garter, officiated, assisted by the lord
bishop of Barry and several canons.
There was no sermon, but a special
hymn written by the Right Rev. Will
liam Walsham, lord bishop of Wake
field, with music by Sir Arthur Sulli-
van, was sung at her majesty's request
The choir of ST. Georges chapel rem.
dered the musical portion of the service.
Sir Walter Parrett presiding at the or.
gan. The service lasted 40 minutes, the
queen remaining seated throughout and
following closely the special prayers
and hymn.
At the end there was pause. The
queen, with bowed head, continued in
silent prayer Then followed touch
ing scene which will ever linger in the
memory of those who witnessed it,
Summoning Empress Frederick. who
bowed low at her side, the queen kissed
her on both cheeks. The Duke of Con-
naught and the others of the family
followed, receiving ON Bonded knee a
similar token of affection. In many
cases the recipient was kissed several
times
The queen was profoundly moved,
and tears rolled down her cheeks At
last, and evidently with great reluc-
lance, she beckoned her Indian attend
ant. and leaning ON her arm, passed
slowly out of the chapel, the entire con.
gregation standing, the soft light fall
ing through the multi.oolored windows
and the exquisite strains of the organ
rising and swelling beneath the gothic
hammered roof. 1t was scene never to
be forgotten and thrilled all present
with strong emotions,
