JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb, ls.-The fol
lowing dispatch has been received here.
coming by special courier from the head
quarters of General Gomez, near Salado
in the province of Santa Clara:
General Gomez's present position is mol
one Of danger. He is in fact master of tn,
situation in this part of Santa Clara prov
ince and in the province of Puerto Prin
cipe. Fifteen miles ahead of his headquar
ters he has stationed nearly 1000 men
mostly cavalry.
Lacret, who until recently was conduct
ing small operations in western Santa
Clara and eastern Matanzas. is in charge
of this force. The force is located in the
hills along the main highway Of Cuba, tbs
only good road which enters this section
from the east. General Weyler could moi
make an advance from Santa Clara city
without using this highway, and he coulc
not hope with less than 10, 900 men tc
force back Lacret
Such large folce would occupy days II
reaching the rebel position from the city
of Santa Clara, and in the meantime il
would be quite an easy matter for the Cut
bans to cut the enemy off from his base o.
supplies and render him desperate in {
comparatively strange section of the island
No one here believes that Weyler viii.

Whether Gomez desires to make for

can say, but from what / am able to gath.

cation, and a large part Of his forces, il
not the greater part was originally re
cruited from this section.
There is hardly man, one might say,
in the entire force but who is thoroughly
acquainted with almost every acre Of land
in Santa Clara and Puerto Principe and
because OF the nature OF the country tins
is most valuable.
From what 1 was able to gather about
the camp / think Menocal is correct. The
army is in good condition, and healthier
body of men believe it would be hard tC
find
They are most cheerful, too and camI
i life seems to be the liking Of all. As rode

boundary, some of the men were cutting
small trees and making houses, Others

horses, which were picketed all along for
distance Of six or seven miles, while still
others were playing cards and games an'

The Greeks Clamorous For War with
Turkey-Advancing on Thessaiy.
ATHENS, Feb. 18.-The greatest excite
ment prevails here. The newspapers have
issued midnight editions containing re
port that the vail of Smyrna has chartered
a steamer TO transport troops to Crete, anO
this in face of the assurances given to the
powers by the porte that Turkey woult
not send re-enforcements TO the island.
The newspapers and the crowds in the
street declare that the action of the vail IL
taken with the full cognizance of the
porte, which has again proved that not the
slightest confidence is to be placed In it,
assurances or promises. Denunciations oi
the Turkish government are heard OF
every hand. At this hour the principal
streets are filed with Greeks, who demand
that the Greek warships shall prevent the
landing of more troops in Crete.

Insurgents Capture a Spanish Convoy.

KEY WEST, Feb. 13-Major Luis Lorau
captured a Spanish convoy train near Ar
temisa, province of Pinar del Rio, Mon
day and 80 prisoners without the loss of
man. Hearing that the train was on the
way. he mined the roadbed, and as the
train came up exploded the mine, blow
ing up the engine and the armored car
and three passenger cars. AS the wrecked
train rolled down the emhankment his
troops poured in a hot fire, and the fright
ened Spanish soldiers Immediately hung
out the white flag.
Siztoen were killed in the wreck, includ-
ing the engineer and fireman and two
Spanish officers. The Spanish troops were
so demoralized that they did not FIRE q
dozen shots at the Cubans.
Among the prisoners was the notorious
guerrilla, Captain Mazretto, who is ac-
cused Of numbering more than 100 pacifi-
cos in that province. AS soon as Lorau's 5
men saw him they seized him, and despite
their officers commands literally hacked
him to pieces, uttering the most appalling
yells at each stroke of their machetes. The
other prisoners were released the next day
and sent to Artemisa In the train were
needed provisions and some arms.

Blaine's Generosity,

by writer in the st. Louis Globe Demo

Of money, appealed to her only friend at
the capital, General Sherman. His purse
was always open to the distressed, but he
had no funds at all adequate to relieve her
necessities. In this emergency he thought
of Blaine. The man from Maine entered
into the spirit of the occasion as soon as he
heard General Sherman's statement. He
called another to the chair and made a
five minutes speech that fairly electrified
the house, which passed the resolution
Blaine had penned only a moment before.
He took the resolution i'm person to the sen

had the president to sign 1t the next day,
and on the following day the beneficiary

He Drew IA Prize.

Il encountered the strangest man / ever
knew while l was doing some government
work in Missouri, said the retired con-
tractor. He was smart enough, SO jolly
that every one liked him, and apparently
in the best of health But he made few
bad deals, had TO mortgage some of his
property and just seemed TO throw up his
hands. He vowed that no had ceased to
be his own man and would drift along
till he found out what the world wanted
to do with him.
He never tried to dispose of any of his
possessions by auction or private sale, but
nearly every day held rattle, at which
the chief attractions were his jokes and
odd sayings. All this time he was not
trying to earn u dollar, and in a year or so
it was thought that he had come to the
end of his string
"Whcn he disposed of the family clock
and there seemed to be nothing left, he
coolly announced that the next day he
would rattle himself. He didn't know
whether the boys would care to buy
chances, but he meant business and would
work faithfully for the man who drew
him. Tickets sold for good figures, but
there were two left, and he laughingly said
that he would take a couple OF shots at
himself. When the drawing came off, he
held the lucky number.
"Well, sir, the fellow turned loose and
went to making money hand over hand.
He became one of the greatest rustlers in
the west, paid off the mortgages, bought
everything there was money in and Is as
rich now as river bottom farm When
he drew himself at that rattle, he made up
his mind that he was his own man again,
and besides he had agreed to do his best
for the winner. 1t was strange case. "
