INDIANA BOY IN CUBA.
General stan of Gomez Writes of
the Spanish CrueIties.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. BE. c. Toner,
of this city, to-day received a letter from
q. E. Chatham, the Anderson man who
went to Cuba a year ago. He is now
general on General Gomez's staff and has
1872 troops under him in Pinar del Rio
province Chatham is well known and his
word is not doubted. He says, among other
things:
Cuban ranks. They are in far better con-
dition to-day than at any time since
the war began. We have now 10000 We'll
armed and drilled men in service with
fair amount of war supplies We have

are mostly in the districts controlled by
Spain. have been in the front continually
and have met the Spanish troops in battle
forty-three times with a loss of only 169
men.
Duke Alva, of Holland, in the sixteenth
century, was not more brutal than Weyler.
The dark and middle ages of the Spanish
inquisition are GASES on a great desert COM
pared to the many inhuman acts commit
ted on poor innocent women and children.
The American Indian in all his savage
and bloodthirsty raids upon the white set
tiers Of the Western plains was as far
above this heartless class of humanity as
an angel is above the most heathenish

Chatham has a sister in Evansville or
Terre Haute from whom he was separated
when a boy. She heard of him through his
connection with Maceo and Gomez a year
ago. Up to that time she thought he was

Removal of Cuban Tobacco.

WASHINGTON, Aug. $50 far as is
known at the State Department there has
been no general order issued by the Span
ish government for the release of all the
tobacco held in Cuba For export to the
United States under the prohibitory rule of
Captain General Weyler issued last year.
Each case is being treated on its merits
and the only general order issued relates TO
the evidence that must be produced by the
American owner of the tobacco such as
proof that the contracts for delivery of the
tobacco were actually made prior to the
issue of the prohibitory rule; dates of the
various steps in the transaction and ex-
plantations of the reason why the tobacco
had not been shipped before. In some
cases there has been considerable delay in
securing the release of the tobacco owing
to the fact that this evidence has been sent
to Madrid instead of to Havana, but gen.
orally it is said the Spanish government
is treating applications with proper atten-
ton.

Stewart Made Three Errors and Flynn
Missed Two Chances.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 13.-The 1850 peo-
pie who went out to Lexington Park this
afternoon We're in an ugly mood, because
of the fact that Manager Comskey was put
out of the grounds at Indianapolis and
there is no denying the fact that had the
opportunity been afforded there would
have been trouble. No game was ever more
Clearly played so far as rowdyism was con-
cerned, however. and the only bad decision
made by Umpire Haskell was in calling
Stewart safe at the plate in the seventh,
when he clearly slid around it by a foot
and was touched out by Spies in coming
back to it. The Apostles won by a lucky
home-run hit in the fifth, when every bag
occupied. The errors of Gray and
Flynn were responsible for over half the
locals runs, and Georges muff in the sew
enth gave the Hoosers at least two
The visitors opened very much as if they
intended to make their record thirteen
straight. Hogriever hit one of Denzer's
swift ones straight down the diamond for
a bag. He was caught trying to steal and
Gray popped one up to Mcbride; then three
singles in succession with a steal netted
two runs. Errors by Gray ard Flynn
and hits by Denzer, George and Glasscock
gave ST. Paul a lead in the third. With
two out in the fifth two singles and a base
on balls filled the sacks, and Preston put
the ball between Mccarthy and Mcfarland
for the full circuit. Matters ran along
without incident until the last half of the
seventh when the Hoosers began to hit
the ball: good and plenty. Gray drove out
single, Mcfarland a triple, Mccarthy got a
base as a gift and AIOtz hit safely. Wood
was retired on foul fly, Stewart hit the
ball to left center and George muffed it.
Flynn followed with a hit and five runs
were in. Denzer quit the game cold here,
ard Mullane went into the box. The scor-
ing ceased and the visitors made only two
hits during the remainder of the game The
weather was cloudy and the field dry.
