TO HELP GOMEZ.

CieDfuegos and Sagua La Grande are Well
Adapted for Bases of Supplies for the
Insurgent Army in Cuba and Could Easily
be Taken.
Washington, April 26.-The strategic
boards of the army and navy are being
urged to supplement the pacific block
ade by taking one port on the north
coast of Cuba and one on the south
coast, for the purpose of esta blishing a
junction with Gen. Gomez insurgent
troops at Sancti Espiritus, and with
Gen. Garcia's insurgents in Santiago
1t is felt that small ports could be
taken practically without opposition
and that Cienfuegos on the south coast
and Sagua la Grande on the north coast
are best fitted as these bases of sup
plies.
Cienfuegos, on the south coast, is the
point most accessible to the commands
of both Gomez and Garcia, while Sagua
is within easy reach of Gomez. BY
having two bases, one on the north
and one on the south, the danger of
interruption in the communication
from one or the other would be avoid
ed. 1t is said that Cienfuegos and
Sagua could not offer much resistance.
With two such bases of operation Sc
cured. the Cuban forces in the field
could be speedily equipped with arms,
ammunition and supplies 1t is said
that Gomez and Garcia have the men
and the enthusiasm capable of striking
an effective blow once they have arms
in hand, and that the only reason for
their present inaction is their failure
to have adequate ammunition for IA
strong forward movement on the Span
ish forces. Recent conferences between
the Cuban military officers here and
Gen. Miles leave little doubt that the
war department will equip the Cuban
forces in every way practicable.

Do Not Anticipate Bombardment.

Key West, April a6.--The British
steamer Myrtledene has arrived here
from Havana. Her commander re-
ports that the news ct the sailing of
the United STATES Acct was received at
Havana just previous 20 the departure
of the My:tledenc. He adds that it
created no excitement in the city, but
the price of meat Immediately jumped
from "a cents to so cents pound. Ac-
cording to Capt. Milburn, Havana does
not fear bombardment, because the
Spaniards say that the United States
began the war in the interest of hu
manity, and bombardment would be
contrary to such purpose.

ARE AFTER BEARD
Leedy Trying TO Bounce a
Lieutenant
FOR THE EFFIGY EPISODE
Wichita Member of the S.ofV.
the Victim.

Somebody has started the story in To-
peka that E E. Beard, a member Of the
Sons Of Veterans guard here, was the
man who hanged Leedy in efhgy at the
Armory a week ago Thursday.
Mr.. Beard was elected first lieutenant
of the Kingman company OF volunteers.
The story got to Leedy's ears and he
fumed around and said that Beard would
be elected from the company. He said
that he had issued peremptory orders 10
recruiting officers not to allow any of the
Wichita guard 10 go into the comp nies.
as they had been disloyaI 1t was noised
about at once that Beard had belonged
TO the guards here; that he was instru-
mental in hanging Leedy in effigy, and
was refused by Adjutant Brown in max
ing up the company here. He had gone
to Kingman and slipped into the company,
and finally got to be an officer. 1t was
attempted by the Leedy people 70 make
it appear that there was much feeling in
the Wichita company against Beard, and
that he would have to leave the company.
This is an injustice to Mr.. Beard. He
was not in any way connected with the
national guards and had no connection
with the hanging episode. The action Of
the Topeka crowd in haunting Mr. Beard
with the statement that he could not get
into the Wichita company on account OF
disloyalty and his connection with the
eftigy episode may prompt Mr.. Beard TO
leave the company. But Wichita will
support statement OF the integrity and
loyalty of Mr.. Beard, and. as far as the
efigy matter IS concerned. nothing is
known of whom is responsible for that.
But Mr.. Leedy is bit premature in TAX
ing revenge for the Wichita expression
of contempt for him on Mr.. E. z. Beard,
who is first lieutenant Of the Kinsman
company.
