In view of the fact that Mr. Calhoun was
Accompanied en- his trip by Mr. Ramon VIII
Hams. whose name before he became His
pamulated was plain Raymond Williams and
that the "Cubans' whom he met in dark
alleys ana down cellars in Havana doubtless
were discovered by Mr. Williams, it Is not
strange that he should acquire the view %

interview Mr. WilliamswaS seat to Havana

pie, and is being talked of as minister To
Spain.
The evening times., 1897-06-08

Views such as those attributed to Mr.
Calhoun would give the Administration,
the Spanish bondholders and the Sugar
Trust a chance to hold with the Spanards
that a state Of war does not exist in Cula
1t is true that MIR. Karl Decker states that
Gen Gomez had fifteen or twenty thou
sand men with him when the former left
his camp. II is equally So that small
parties Of from twenty TO fifty guerrill1s
would have little use for siege batteries,
dozens of rapid-fire guns and the general
equipment Of a considerable army. Ii
even is difficult to understand how a scat-
tered guerrilla organization could fortify
and hold an important seaport against
the combined army and navy OF Spain
Still, If Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Ramon
Williams. whom Nj. Havemeyer woulg like
Co see minister to Spain, say that there
is not any war in Cuba, why certainly there
cannot be any, and the repeated defeats Of
Spanish battalions, regiments, brigades
and even divisions in the f,eldmust be mere
inventions OF weyier to help along the sale
of Cuban bonds In New York 1t still looks
as IL tie Administration were working

protection for the Spanish bondholderS
