General Gomez Doubts the Sincerity of
the Spanish Government.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. IA special
dispatch to the Herald from Havana,
Cuba, February 6 (via Key West, Fla. J.,
says: General Weyler's attempt to ar
range for secret conference with General
Gomez in Santa Clara over the estion of
the proposed Cuban reforms has proved a
com plete fizzle.
General Gomez sent word. 1t is said,
that he would not confer with General
Weyler upon any subject whatever, and
refused to meet him under any circum-
stances.
While the rebel leader doubted the sim
cerity of the Spanish Government and de-
clared that the proposed reforms would OF
be promulgated in good faith he expressed
willingness to meet any accredited agent
of the Government except Captain-Gen-
eral Weyler for the purpose of giving the
insurgent views upon the question.
The news of General Gomez's refusal to
treat with General Weyler caused intense
excitement To-day in official and political
circles.

MONITOR PURITAN UNSEAW0R7HY.
Many of the Valves Found to Be Leaky
and Pumps Used 10 Keep Out

NEW YORK, N. Y. Feb. IA morning
paper says: Still another vessel of the
United States navy Eas been found unsea-
worthy. 1t is the monitor Puritan, the last
one added TO the list of vessels available
for service. The Puritan was to have left
the navy-yard next Tuesday to Join the
feet in command of Admiral Bunce eff
Charleston hurbor.
The engines were given q dock trial a
few days ago and it was then discovered
that they did not work smoothly. MANY

ing and the pumps have been working for
the last two weeks in order to keep the
vessel free from water. Men from the
construction department have been max
ing repairs, but it will be some time be-
fore they are completed, and the vessel
will not be able TO join the squadron for
about two weeks.
The engines worked roughly in the trial,
and in less than fifteen minutes smoke
came from the journals. They were taken
apart and the fittings were found to be
badly burned. They were sent to the
steam engineering shops. where new ones
will be made.
One OF the officers attached to the ship

REE DE-. BOTTOMS SAD CASE.
to Separate From HIS Wife and
Leave cbjcaoo.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 6.-The South
Park Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
is without a regular pastor on account OF
the departure of Rev. II. W. Bolton under
peculiar circumstances. Bishop Merrill
of the diocese, who understands the de-
tails Of the trouble. said to-day:
"a separation between Rev. DIR. Bolton
and his wife has been arranged. He be-
lieves his wife has attacked his moral
character with regard to six or seven
women. ana ii / were to tell you who they
were you would at once see that his delu-
sion would be laughbable if il were not so
sad. His wife has never doubted him in
the least and has protested to me and
others that she had never for a moment
questioned her husbands purity, much
less impugned it to him or to any one else
"She says he is subject to these mental
lapses, and will come out this time as he
has before, and then will not even remem-
Der any thing he has said on the subject.
1t is possible that events may so shape
themselves that an Investigation of the
rumors Dr. Bolton has given currency to
may not be necessary. His physical and
mental condition is such that there is no
prospect of his return to South Park Av-
enne Church.
Rev. DIR. Bolton has gone South and
will deliver occasional lectures. His wife
is in South Bend, Ind. DR.. Bolton has
been prominent in church, Grand Army,
Masonic and other secret circles for years.
He was chaplain during the Civil War, is
past commander of U. S. Grant Post and
State chaplain of the P. o. s. A, and a
thirty-third degree Mason. He has always
been in demand as a patriotic orator.

WETLEH Js IN DANGER.
His Rorse Shot From. Under Him by
Cubds Sharpshooter.

His Horse Shot From Under HIM bu q
Cubam sharpshooter.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb ga special
to the New York World from Key West,
Fla, says: As General Weyler was
marching with his columns just before
entering Santa Clara his horse was shot
from under him by Cuban sharpshoote
1t is supposed the shot came from a dis
tant hillside.
Throughout the march from Rodas the
Captain-GeneraI was assailed by missiles
of this kind, ana several times barely
escaped being wounded.
He is greatly worried over ii, and large
scouting parties precede the advancing
Spanish columns to capture the daring
marauders.
A Spanish force of 500 men was am
bushed Wednesday night near Nazarene,
just west of Santa Clara, where General
Weyler was then and narrowly escaped
humiliation.
The insurgents had mined the road and
bridge over a creek and hid on the road
sides
AS the Spaniards were crossing the
bridge mines were exploded, killing
twenty or thirty men and wounding many
more. The blowing up of the bridge di-
vided the Spanish force. The Cubans
fired on those in the rear and then they
charged with machetes. Many Spaniards
were driven into the creek, where they
were drowned.
The soldiers in the rear column Just
managed to escape annihilatIon.
The Cubans captured fifty prisoners,
and report over 100 Spaniards killed,
drowned or wounded and missing. The
Cuban loss was slight.
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-07

steamship Horsa expedition was set for
to-day, but the lawyer who appeared for
them waived examination before Commits
sioner Shields and the matter goes before
the Federal court.
On Monday next at IL CLOCK Assistant
United States Attorney Heinmann will
move before Justice Brown in the United
States criminal court for the removal of
General Roloff and DR.. Luis to Baltimore.
1t is very generally believed that this
formality will END all legal proceedings
against Cuban patriots in the United
States courts in this city, as in no instance
has conviction been obtained here.
The holding of the Luis and Trujillo
cases in allegiance is regarded as mere
formal proceedings. There is a belief
among prominent Cubans in this city that
a sensational move against the Junta is in
contemplation by the Spanish authorities.
Just what form they anticipate it will
take they will not saw.

REFUSE TO ACCEPT
PROMISED REFORMS
Cubans in Arms Not Yet
Ready TO Submit to
Spain.
Gomez and Garcia Will Not
Meet the Elvoys Sent Out to
Treat for Peace.
In a Speech Weyler Declares the
Estab, ishment of Reforms Depsnds
Upon Triumph of Arms.

KEY WEST, FLA, Feb. 6.-Advices
from Havana state that Canovas' famous
Cuban reforms have been current talk
among the people during the week. The
Cabnst crisis on account of depreciation in
paper money and war issues are laid aside
to discuss this important event.
Although the Government stops the
publication, the facts have leaked out and
have been widely commented on. The
very fact that the authorities prevented
the printing of the news has given occa-
sion TO the people to express doubts and
misgivings of the efficacy of tae reforms.
The consensus of opinion of enlightened
Liberal Spaniards is that although the re-
forms are sufficiently ample to satisfy
their aspirations, the fact of their pro-
mitigation by the Conservatives, who have
always opposed any concessions and who
not many months ago openly declared
their policy "Guns-not reforms" in
clines them to hesitate.
AS to the Cubans, it need not be said
that, with the exception of the renegades,
all agree that the reforms are too weak
and certainly unacceptable to Cubans in
arms.
Reliable information states that Gomez
fatty refused to meet Marcos Garcia, tn
delegate sent by the Government to make
proposals OF peace. Gomez would not
hear of any overtures or receive any COM
mum ications tending to open negotiations
unless based upon absolute indie penden CO.
Another delegate appointed to 60 to
Manzanillo to talk with Caixto Garcia de-
clined the commission on the spot by say
ing it was useless.
Casper Betancourt's confinement, de-
spite the decision of the court for imme-
diate release, is the greatest outrage ever
done an American citizen. The case has
not precedent. On the con trary. Span
ish law requires that as soon as q prisoner
is found guiltless he be released on the
spot. The proof is that the Judge, as
soon as the tribunal gave sentence, at
once signed a warrant ordering the Jail
warden to place him at liberty, conse-
quently his remaining ID jail under the
alleged formalities to be com Piled with is
simply a fragrant violation OF Spanish
law and shameful injustice to an inno-
cent man.
HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 6-When Cap
tain General Weyler rea ched the outskirts
of the city of Santa Clara, where he ar.
rived to-day, delegation of prominent
residents of the city went out to receive
him and presented him with an address.
General Weyler replied to the add7ess and
among other things said:
II am disposed to finish the rebellion at
once in the Santa Clara province. Those
speaking about reforms must know that
the Government has published them and
given the subject thorough stndy. but the
establishment of these reforms depends
upon the triumph of the Spanish arms

MORTON, REID on DEPEWe
Triangular Fight for Embassador to Eng.
land That NJ Leave New York
Out of the Cabinet

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. 6.-New York
Republicans have by no means given up
hope that this State will be represented in
Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet, but they admit
that one or two complications have arisen.
The principal one arises out of the fight
for the embassy to England, which is
coveted by Levi P. Morton and Whitelaw
Reid, while Depe% has been promised
the support of the Republican organiza-
tion for the same piSce.
the organization of the State has no
objection whatever to the appointment OF
General Horace Porter to be AMBASSADOR
to France.
Mckinley would like to have Cornelius
n. Bliss, and some of the friends of Bliss
indorse General Woodford for Attorney
General. 1t was declared that Mr.. Bliss
does not desire to do this, and that General
Porter and Anson G. McCook and others
of Mr.. Bliss friends sustain him in the
position. The foregoing is the situation
which confronts the Republican organiza-
tion of the State, and in view of the
alleged opposition of Cornelius N. Bliss to
General Woodford, it may be decided
within day or two by the Republican
organization to drop General Woodford
and concentrate on Represent tative
Sherman, although it is stated on the
authority of Chairman O'Dell OF the Ex-
ecutive State Committee that Mr.. Sher-
man is not a candidate against Mr.. Wood
ford.
The situation, according 30 well-in-
formed New York Republicans, is not a
nleasant one. The complication over the
En- bassadorship to England, it is said
will leave an unpleasant taste in the
mouths of many Republicans, and it was
added that the decision about this great
place of ambassador to England will
have very much to do with the selection
of a New York Republican for McKiniey's
Cabinet.
