DENVER, Col, August 3O.-Count
Henri Penaloza Of Paris is spending
few days in the city upon mining busi-
ness. The Count is an American by
birth, a Spaniard by descent and
Frenchman by adoption. He was born
in San Francisco in 1869, while his par
ents were spending the winter in Cali
fornia. In the course of an interview
Count Penaloza said: "As long as Spain
has a man or penny in the treasury
the Spanish government will not con-
sent to the independence Of Cuba. A
country whose call for military funds
was subscribed for four times over and
which has sent 100000 soldiers to Cuba
is not in the Impoverished condition
70 often described"
Count Penaloza is exiled from his ma
tive country on account of the Carlist
proclivities Of his family

INSURGENT PROGRESS
NEW YORK, August 30.-The Journal
and Advertiser says: The sensation
ally victorious march of the Cubans un-
der Maxine Gomez and Antonio Maceo,
the entire length of the island in Mar
tinez Campos' time has just been dupli-
Gated by Quintin Banderas. The negro
war captain, than whom no Cuban Of the
colored race, excepting only Maceo, per-
haps, has won greater honors in the
struggle for independence, led Il, 900 men
from the eastern end of the island,
where the patriots in arms are strong
est to the western end, where, since Ma
ceo's DEATH the Cuban cause has not
prospered so we'll. These $4,000 men rep
resented all branches of the Cuban SER
vice. They penetrated into the provinces
of Matanzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio,
strengthening the existing forces in
each of these provinces to such an ex-
tent that the coming winter campaign
there may be expected to be even as dis
the redoubtable Maceo.
The news of the brilliant achievement
was brought to the Journal and Adver-
tiser by the mail from Havana in an au
tograph letter from Banderas himself
In 1t he requests the publication of the
proclamation that he issued on taking
charge Of the department. Banderas
says that the second invasion of the
west was made in compliance with plans
that were completed by Maxine Gomez,
the general-in-c chief himself in June
last, and that the march was effected
with little or no trouble or molestation
from the Spanish troops. The proclama-
tion intimates that there have been
wholesale desertions from the Spanish
army in Havana province into the Gu
ban service.
The rest of the proclamation is direct
ed ITO the men of my race" and is as
follows:
at only remains for me to appeal to
the men of my race, to point out to them
that we owe the liberty of our fathers
to the revolution of 1868, and it is my
duty to present to them the example
of that noble figure, Major General An
tonic Maceo, who died on the field for
the liberty of his country"
