A GENERAL REVOLT.

An Interview ut Newport News with
"cncrni Mornlcs-The Object Of His
visit to This Country-Cuba's
Hope.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, March g.
(SpeciaL)-General 4. p. Morales. leader
OF the San Domingoan exiles, accom-
panied by Antonio Mattel Lluveras. and
Manuel Catala, two wealthy citizens of
Porto Rico, arrived here to-day on the
British steamer Indralema from st.
Thomas. They are Cuban sympathlzers,
and are en- route for New York to confer
with the Cuban Junta and friends, with
the view Of obtaining munitions Of war
TO be sent TO Porto Rico and San Do
mingo. General Morales was interviewed
before he sailed for New York, but would
not state the exact object Of his visit
TO this country, except that he had core
to confer with friends. II was learned
that the object of the visit is to prepare
for general revolt against the Spanish
Government by the inhabitants Of the
Antilles
General Morales said: 1.-THE object Of
the San Domingoan exiles is to help Sc
cure the freedom Of Cuba and Porto Rico,
and then constitute the Antilles into a
confederation and adopt home rule" He
talked freely, telling how the inhabitants
OF the Islands are oppressed, and giving
a description Of the inhuman punishment
that Is inflicted by the Spaniards for
trivial offences. He said the hope of the
Cubans was based on the incoming adj
ministraton, as it is expected they will
be recognized as free and Independent
citizens. The movement to establish a
confederation of the Antilles and wage
combined warfare against Spain was
recently inaugurated. and this is the first
time 1t has been given TO the press. Gene
raj Morales has been in exile since 1855,
but in 1893 he lead the revolution IN San
Domingo, and crossed the Haitian from
tier, and would have been successful, he
says, but for the treason of the Haitian
Minister.
