HONOLULU, Nov. 1.-THE presence of
Princess Kaiulani is not satisfactory to
the adherents of the deposed queen, as
they believe the young woman has re-
turned for the purpose of starting a
boom for herself at the expense Of the
former queen. Kaiulani's supporters
claim that in the event of a refusal on
the part of congress to annex Hawaii,
she will stand a good chance Of being
placed on the throne, under a limited
monarchy. The princess has been Civ.

in other ways trying to make herself

Fifty Insurgents Fire a Volley at
tho Castle of the Governor
General.
Their Mission Was the Rescue of
General Rivera From Casa
Blanca.
Failed Because of a Misunder.
standing With Confederates.
Other Cuban News.

NEW YORK, Nov. rs. On Sunday
morning, for the first time in the his.
tory of the Cuban war, rebel bullets
sought the palace in Havana, says a
dispatch to The Herald from Havana.
The shots came from Casa Blanca, 900
yards across the entrance to the harbor,
and while nobody was hurt, the palace,
with its shining electric lights, was a
shining mark and must have been hit.
The Spanish authorities attempt to
make light Of the affair, but at the
same time a reporter for La Lucia who
wrote up and attempted to publish the
facts in the case was arrested and is
still incommunicado.
The attack on Casa Blanca was made
by Brigadier General Rafael de Carde-
mas and 80 rebels. They entered the
town shortly before midnight on horse
back and at the end of four hours each
man led M of town a horse, with one
extra he had appropriated, laden with
clothing, provisions, silver plate and
considerable money. Before they left
they fred two voileys across the mar.
row harbor entrance at the palace, then
cOolly retired to a friends house inside
the Spanish lines and took supper, pre-
viously ordered. All this under the
guns of Cabanas and Moro.
1t is learned from an inside source
that the object Of the rebels was to effect
the release OF General Ruis Rivera and
hang a citizen named Fumiero, who is
known as a spy. They failed in the
first only because of some misconcep-
ton regarding the appointed time on
the part of the confederates within the
prison with whom arrangements had
been made to admit the raiders into the
fortress. Fumiero managed to escape
across the harbor.

INDUCEMENTS FOR GOMEZ
Blanco Will Give Him . Good Chance Ca
Leave Cuba.

Blanc0 Will Give Him . Good Chance to
Leave Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. "A PROPOSE.
ton has been made to Gomez to retire
from Cuba. Weyler on several occa-
sions tried to induce 1.-THE old fox" as
the Spaniards call the insurgent leader,
with brides to leave the island. Each
time the overture was spurned. At
length Gomez sent word that if any.
body came with a like suggestion he
would forfeit his life.
Information has reached Washington
through Spanish channels that Blanco
has sent to Gomez a personal induce
ment as part of the plan of autonomy.
Blanco takes it for granted that Gomez
will not want to remain on the island
If autonomy is carried out. He, there
fore, offers a life pension and suggests
a place of refuge. In Spanish circles
there is some confidence that the propo.
sition will be entertained. Gomez is
not a Cuban. His home is in
Santo Domingo. Save 70 a soldier,
fighting for freedom, he has no particu.
lar interest in Cuba. He is now -
years old. During the rainy season,
which is just ending, the commanders
heretofore rugged health failed some-
what. Lung trouble developed. 1t is
said that a dry climate will be neces-
sary to prolong existence. Conditions
have changed since the attempts Of
Weyler to bride failed utterly.
The result of this latest approach is
awaited in Washington with much in
terest. 1t is claimed that there has been
received here a copy Of q letter written
by Gomez in October, in which he says
that he may feel obliged to give up the
command of the i~nsnrpent army.

HAVANA, Nov. 26. There was con.
siderable excitement in this city when
it became known that an attempt was
made to blow up the United States
consul building during the night.
AL details are suppressed but such an
act has long been expected, and is sup
posed to be the work of volunteers, who
are greatly incensed over General Blan-

by the police, who are doing everything
possible to hush up the matter. .

HAVANA, via Key West, Nov. &c.
After the order had been issued for the
release of General Ruiz Rivera and
Colonel Becallo, who were captured by
General Hernandez de Velasco, last
March, but before they were actually
freed both were conducted to the pal
ace, ente1ing from a side door from
O'Reilly street and going up a private
stairway. Marshal Blanco received
them and proposed they should help to
restore peace by assisting in the estab-
lishment OF autonomy. They declined
to accept his proposition. He then re-
quested them to make a formal com.
promise and to agree not to take up
arms again against Spain. This they
also refused, declaring on the contrary
that when actually free they would re-
turn to the insurgent camp. After this
high spirited reply they were
