New York. October 5.-Thomas Estrada
Palma. chief of the Cuban junta. has Just
received letter from General Gomez.
commander in chief of the Cuban army.
"Weylers successor in Cuba" writes the
general. "in order to cope with the re-
bellicn at its present stage will be obliged
to demand 100000 troops and s10oooo,ooo.
and even then will fail as ignominiously
as Weyler has failed.
"Our men were never lrnbued with Il
more hopeful spirit than they are at pres
emit The campaign In Las Villas has been
an utter failure. The Spanish soldiers
avoided US. at every opportunity, This
served 10 encourage our men. ] am glad
to say that We are all confident OF ultimate

cessor aere lxwhoever he may be, will be
surprised 10 see the spirit of victory which
animates the brave Cuban troops. We can
not be subdued and no one knows this bet
ter than Weyler"
With the Gomez letter was one from
General Calixto Garcia, who commands tn.
troops In the eastern provinces. II gave
some particulars concerning the capture
of Lac Tunas on August 30. 1t says;
THE dynamite f3un played an important
part In the cap1stepsof Las Tunas Its de-
structive shells spread terror through the
Spanish troore. We besieged il for three
days, when 1t finally surrendered. We
found many of the troops in terrible
conds,ion. AT least 100 fell victims TO the
dynamite shells. a good many more being
badly wounded. The rest OF the 500 men
were in an utterly demoralIzed condition
when the Spanish flag was hauled down.
Our losses number sixty men. All the sick
and wounded Spaniards were sent to hospi-
tails and given every possible attention.
The prisoners were all released. Reports
OF the destructive work OF the dynamite
gun has spread all through Cuba and has

New York. October 5.---A dispatch to the
Herald says; The advent OF the liberal
party to power has been remarkably we'll
received throughout the whole peninsula.
and 1t is popularity credited that more
salutary regime in Cuba will be at once
initiated with the relief OF General Weyler.
1t is understood that his successor Will
probably be General Blanco. formerly gov
ernor of the Philippines. Blanco is corsid-
cred the softest hearted soldier in Spain.
He is a subtle and ktaily politician, as
well as a warrior and is always prone 10
employ pacific in preference to violent
measures He will be fully authorized 10
approach the rebels with view to ar
irving at mutual agreement for the cess
sation Of hostilitlcs.
Should he rot go, a general VIII, in any

the fitting occasion to recall the words OF
Senior Sagasta, uttered in May last: II b..
lieve in military combined with DIPLOMATIC
iction in Cuba The Spanish nation has
remembered these words and is eagerly
agaiting the application Of the new min
;stry's ideal.
There is a good deal Of latent curiosity
to see what kiad of reception General
Weyler will meet with on his return to
the peninsula HE had better not come
near SPAIN" said a liberal yesterday
The queen regent is known to have
brought about the retirement of the con-
servatives in the most decisive manner,
Influenced, 1t is believed, by the three
phases of national administration, the un-
renting horrors of the Cuban war, the
indiscriminate maltreatment and torturlng
OF supposed anarchists and the unpatrlotic
intrigues and party feuds Of the late gov
eminent.
The rumor that Germany and Austria
were minded to actively sympathiye With
Spain in her diplomatic relations with the
United States has been copied into only a
few organs OF the Spanish press, and
either attracted no mention at all, or elEe
regarded as the merest canards.
A serious riot occurred during the voy-
age OF the Isla de Mindana which has just
arrived at Barcelona with troops from tho
| Philippines. Because dead soldier was
going to be thrown overheard uncovered
| while dead priest was buried luxuriously,
the troops rose, unanimously supported by
their officers, until decent burial was

Oapdebond, the minister OF the interior, and
Senior Moret, the minister for the colonies.
