spA1n's ISSUE OF FALSE NEWS.
Reports That Cubanx VIII Capitu-

Reports That Cubanx VIII Capitu-
late Denied by DR.. Betancer.
Paris, May 25.-Spain has ofIate de-
voted much attention to promulgating
false news. Petroleum bombs-whatever
they may be-were used by the Ameri-
cans at Manila; the Cape Verde fleet had
returned to Cadiz. when. as a matter Of
fact, it was within very short distance
of Martinique. and the reserve squadron
is being fitted out for the Philippines,
whereas everything points to Its dispatch
in a totally opposite direction. As final
effort of imagination the news that the in
surgents in Cuba were ready to make
terms with Spain is quite ready to rank
with any of the foregoing items.
Although it seemed on the face of it i'm
probable that the insurgents after fight
ing for three years would capitulate
when the end of Spain's sovereignty on
the island was within sight, DR.. Betances.
the Paris delegate of the Cuban insur-
gents, was asked If there was any truth
in the reports.
Not one ATOM" was DR.. Betances' re-
ply. ''The Cuban insurgents would pre-
fer annexation to the United States a
thousand times to submission to Spain.
1.-The news that Mendez Capote is going
to New York to inform the United States
Government that the insurgents will ac-
cept autonomy is false. 1t is false that
they will resist the invasion of Cuba. It
is false that they will submit to Spain.
1.-The report is only one of the mex
haustible series manufactured in Madrid.
By these means the government hopes to
excite public opinion in the United States
against the insurgents and discourage
sympathizers with the movement both in
Cuba and SPAIN I received news from
the island only a few days ago. There
was not word on the subject of sub
mission to Spain. On the contrary. every
one is more determined than ever to drive
Spain out. repeat, the insurgents will
prefer annexation to the United States
a thousand times rather than to even
treat with SPAIN"

Fight Against Spain.
Alaskans feel somewhat slighted that
they were not called upon by the Govern
ment to furnish their quota of volunteers
for service against Spain.
Secretary Alger received a very patriot
ic letter yesterday from John U. Smith,
United States commissioner in Dyea,
Alaska, in which formal tender of $500
volunteers from Alaska is made to the
War Department. Mr.. Smith writes that
the citizens of Dyea, Skaguay, Sheep
Camp, Canyon City and other towns of
the Lynn Canal have held mass meetings
and to some degree organized an army
Of $500 men for service in the existing
war. Many of these men are former Ma
tional Guardsmen, and are all imbued
with the fires of patriotism.
According to Mr.. Smith, Alaska offers
unusual facilities for furnishing many
hardy soldiers. He says the men are all
Injured to hardships and long for adven-
ture. No action will be taken in regard
to accepting this offer unless a second
call for volunteers becomes necessary.
In that case the Government will un-
doubtedly muster the Alaskans into serv-
ice.

would make mistake in attempting to invade

States might expect heavy reverses when those
troops encountered the trained Spanish troops on
land It would be grave error to underesti-
mate the strength OF the adversaries of the Amer
Jean troops l would regret to see the Americans
even temporarily beaten, as all my sympathies are
that this war is not with frst-class power, for
it is evident that in such encounter they would
be badly beaten at the beginning, though be-
lieve the Americans are able to defeat any nation
in the long run"

HUNDREDS STARVING.
Pitiable Condition of the Cuban
Reccncentrndcs.


Tampa, Fla, May 2o.-If the United
States does not aid the Cuban reconcen-
trados within three weeks hundreds more
will be dead. according to the report
brought here from Matanzas by Ernest
o. De Castro. Cuban lawyer OF that
place. He left Matanzas some days ago
In an open boat, intending to come here.
but was blown out of his course. He
was picked up by ore of the blockading
vessels and transferred to a sailing yes
sci which brought him to Key West last
night.
Senior De Castro pictures a most alarm
ing state of affairs in Matanzas. He
says that the people have scarcely any
thing to eat; that they are subsisting on
mule meat, roots and such sea food as
they can get. The blockade has been so
close that nothing could come in. The
Spanish army officers have seized every
thing they could. and the merchants are
refusing to sell provisions of any kind
to tn. poorer Cubans. ALI sorts of eat
a5:es have risen from 100 to 500 per cent
above the normal. Many people are now
( almost dying Of starvation, and their
scanty diet has produced much sickness.
which, owing to the debilitated condition
Of the people. is carrying them OF by the
hundreds. He says that IL relief is not
given within three weeks hundreds more
will die.
The Cubans are waiting for the Ameri-
can Army while the Spaniards dread the
appearance of the vessels in the waters
around there. Every time a vessel is
sighted an alarm is sounded and the
troops come out. But many of them are
tired nf fhe war and will NOT fight very
hard If the Army lands there Senior De
Castro's principal -errand here is to get
some dynamite to blow up the Gpanish
railroad near Matanzas. He says that II
he can get the dynamite he can do a deal
of damage to the Spanish cause.
