HAVANA, July 2s.-The Cuban secret agents
in all the principal towns OF the island held by
the Spanish have received letters from Gen.
Gomez encouraging them to continue their
work in behalf of the Army Of Liberation. SINH
lar encouragement has been sent by the General
TO the Cubans abroad.
"This Is the time says oomes in one of these
addresses, "when tho faith Of Cubans in their
coming triumph should DO stronger than ever.
/ have positive information that tho Spaniards
themselves, or, at least, the honest elements
among them, realize that their war 10 hopeless
and that the best thing to do 10 to give Cuba up.
I have confidence in the patriotism OF the Gu
bans, but / wish to warn them against the willy
diplomacy Of the Spanish Government.
81 wish them to know, in the island and
abroad, that any reports that wo Will accept
homo rule are absolutely false. and 1 believe
that Canovas's shemo of reforms and the au-
economist declarations of Sagasta are only the
last desperate efforts Of the Spanish rulers to
win by base trickcry. now that they know they
cannot win by force"
Tho General has also declared In oflcial lot
tors to tho Cuban delegate in the United States
that any home rule proposals must DO rejected
without q moments attention.
1t 10 generally believed In Havana that since
tho failure Of tho spaniards to induce Gen.
Gomez to accept homo rule secret agents have
been sent to New York to ascertain the eenti-
monts Of the Cuban Junta and try to induce
the Cubans there to accept autonomy.
An expedition from jamaica, under m
Of Col. Dupotec. landed safely . week ago In the
province Of Santiago de Cuba.
schor Estrada Palma, tho Cuban delegate
| here, confirms tho above news. and says that all
who approach him with homo rule or reform
proposals from Spain will lose their time.
Senior B. ]. Guerra, Treasurer Of the Junta,
has received q letter from Gen. Gomez. in which
no says: II embrace you heartily. and all the

SAID SHE saw THE VIRGIN.
A Miraculous euro Announced from . Catholic
Convent in Kentucky.

LEBANON, KY, July 31.-A cure that devout
Catholics here believe was miraculous took
place at Loretto Convent near here on last
Thursday night. The patient was Sister Alfred,
q novice at Loretto Academy. Sister Alfred
was taken sick with appendicitis seven weeks
ago. Peritonitis followed, and during her ILL.,
ness she suffered much. On Wednesday a tele-
gram was sent 10 her parents in Kansas that all
preparations had been made for her funeral, as
1t seemed she had only q few more hours to live.
She had had the last sacramento, and all were
waiting for the end.
On Thursday night. however. between the
hours of IL and IL. Sister Alfred suddenly was
freed from pain. She had had only liquid food
for several weeks and had no appetite. but her
appetite was craving. and she said that she was
as well as over in her life and wished to get up
and go about. 1t is said by the Sisters Of Loretto
that at IL o'clock on the night Of the cure two
Sisters attended Sister Alfred. They went into
an adjoining room for Q lunch. and while out
they heard Sister Alfred talking. On returning
they found her very much excited and fright
ened. She said the Blessed Virgin had appeared
to her. The two Sisters thought she was talking
at random, and after quieting her lett the room
again.
They were out only q few moments when they
heard Sister Alfred talking again. In u short
time they returned, when the sick Sister, in a
high state Of excitement. told them she had been
talking to the Blessed Virgin again. She also
said the Blessed Virgin told her she was cured.
and that she should offer up the communion in
the morning for the conversion Of England.
From this moment. II 1s SAID. she was cured.
The high fever had left the patient. The Sisters

applied.
