He Says Great Things Have

He Declares That the Spaniards See

Hour OF Triumph IL Near.

The following letter from Gen. Gomez
has been received by Estrada Palma
president of the Cuban delegation:
Great things have been done. The
essential thing now is to triumph, which
viii be great glory to the victor, who
like David. of Biblical fame. destroyed
Goliath with only his sling and stone.
'.Blanco and Pando have sent me ennis
saries with presents. The presents 1
burned before their eyes. and told them
if they should ever return 1 should hang
them. The poor men were most aston
ished, and I have since learned that they
refused to come back a second time un-
less they would be permitted TO remain
with my army.
II hasten to tell you this. so you can
know the infamy of the Spaniards. One
year ago there was no clemency, no quar-
ter. Women, mothers and children were
made victims of the Spanish. The sol

The two hundred thousand men then on
the island disputed the privilege of who

But all to no purpose We made their

Shakespearean actor and formerly a we'll
known telegraph operator, against his
wife, formerly Nellie F. Shaut, will be

George F. O'Shaunessy of No 81 Mas
sau street, Hennigs attorney, said yes
terday the evidence in his possession, COW
ering a period of nearly three years. was
so conclusive that Mrs. Hennig no doubt
recognized the futility of contesting the
case.
Hennig met Miss Shaut five years ago.
She was then employed in a telephone
exchange. They were married shortly
after their first meeting, and went to live
in Harlem. AS leading man for Thomas
W. keene, Hennig received a large salary,
and arranged for his wife to draw the
larger part of this while he was on the
road. His suspicious became aroused
through his wife's persistent refusals to
join him in his travels and her continual
demands for more money. lie investi-
gated and says he found confirmation of
his suspicious.
From the Keene company Hennig joined
that managed by e. r. Spencer. 1t was
while playing with this company in Sy-
racuse in March, that he was notified by
a friend to return home at once He en-
tered his home by the basement early on
the morning of March %, as asserted in
one Of the affidavits. and found a man in

OUR PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
The Asiatic Squadron VIII Capture
the Philippines

The American general plan of cam
paign contemplates the bIockading and
ultimate seizure of Cuba by Simpsons 5
ure of Porto Rico by Captain Schley's
squadron and the bIockading and ulti-
mate seizure of the Philippine Islands by
the Asiatic squadron under the command
of Rear Admiral George Dewey.
The latter's flagship is the Olympia, a
protected cruiser. His squadron COM
prises the Boston and Raleigh, cruisers .
the Baltimore. cruiser of the second
class; the Monocacy, Petrol ana Concord
gunboats, and the McCunoch, revenue
cutter
The last heard from Dewey's fleet was
when it sailed from Hong Kong, bound
for the Philippine Islands.
The Spanish fleet at the Philippines
consists of the cruisers Reina Cristina
Caslla, Velasco, Don Juan de Austria
the gunboats Paragua, Ulloa. FL Cano.
General Lezo and Marques del Duero.
and the transports General Alava, Manila
and Cebu.
These vessels are gathered around
Manila. The gunboats Balluzan and
Leyte are at Taal Lagoon The gunboat
Otalora is at Laganoroy Bay. The gun
boat Calimaianes is at Balabac and the
gunbOats Samar. Mariveles, Mindodo,
Mileno. Pampagana and Arayet are at
the southern extremity of the Philip
pines.
In numbers the Spanish fleet in the
Philippines exceeds that of the United
States. but our deficiency in number is
more than compensated for by the eff
cheney of our vessels. in size. speed and
armament.
