SPANISH INFLUENCES FOREVER
WIPED OUT IN CUBA
General Nunez Says What Is Wanted Is

NEW YORK. Sept ga dispatch to

A statement was given out today by
General Nunez, the Cuban commander,
refuting the story that the Cubans were
in league with the Spanish and against
the Americans. He says:

Spaniards for what they have done to the
Cubans and forgive them as men, but
would be the last to pardon or forgive
the atrocities of Weyler. Valmiredo and
others to the extent of ever allowing
those partisans to have hand in the po-
litical affairs of Cuba.

Hate with Cubans and, after receiving
naturalization papers ally themselves
with any OF the political parties which
may spring up in Cuba, but We can never
accept the Spaniards as party.
"To attempt to prohibit the American
people from exercising an infiunce in the
affairs of Cuba. would be foolish and sui
cldal for Cubans. American influence

and the four colliers which will accom-
pany the battleships will be ready during

The department is considering the ad-
visibility OF attaching the engineering

ron. Admiral Dewey is In need OF such a
ship The Vulcan received orders yes
terday TO come north at once. She will

For the benefit Of American commerce,
steps are being taken by the navy depart
ment. In accordance with the recommend
alton Of Commander r. b, Bradford,
chief OF the bureau OF equipment to make
a thorough survey OF the more import
ant harbors OF Cuba and Porto Rico.
The yacht Stranger under command OF
Lieutenant G. l.. Dyer, is being fitted out
at Norfolk with surveying instruments,
and will proceed to Guantanamo bay,
where careful survey of dne harbor will
be made, The bay is regarded as an ex-
ccllent place OF refuge by naval officers
and will probably be made coaling sta
ton in case Cuba should pass into the
hands of the United States. From Guam
tanamo the Stranger will proceed to
Guanica. Porto Rico, where a survey OF
the harbor will be made.
The Stranger is also under orders to ex-
anime Culebra Island, upon the advan-
tages of which as site for coaling sta
ton Captain {, NJ. Chester reported IA
vorably. The authorities have given up
the idea Of establishing a coaling sta
ton at San Juan, Porto Rico, on account
OF the small amount Of water in the har-
Dor.
Rear Admiral Sicard will be retired on
Friday. His retirement will cause no va
cancy, nor will that of Rear Admiral
Matthews. who will be retired early next
month.

RoBERTsoN's GREAT RAFT
HAS PROBABLY BROKEN UP.
Steamer National City Passed Through
Great Quantities OF Piling on Heceta
Head While Coming UP.

There Is now little doubt that the Rob-
ertson log raft. which was towed out OF
the Columbia river more than a week
ago. has broken 10 pieces. and that the
piles are now drifting almlessly about OF
the coast. serious danger to navigation.
The news brought last night by the
California & Oregon Coast Steamship
Company's steam schooner National city,
which arrived at Ainsworth dock from
San Francisco and way ports, Is sufti-
cient proof that the fate OF the raft has
been settled and that il Is a total loss.
Captain j. d. Jacobs. master OF the Ma
tional City, reports that about noon Sat
urday, when in latitude A:il north. long
tltude l2i:i7 west. which is directly on
Heceta Head. about I'D miles south Of the
Columbia river. his steamer passed
through mass OF drifting logs scattered
about In all directions. The weather at
this time was fine. but a heavy swell was
rolling Judging from the grea. number
Of logs, Captain Jacobs firmly believes
that the raft is a total loss. Nothing was
seen Of the Progresso. the steamer which
took the logs in tow of the Columbia
Telegram.
hen the Astorian published the fact
that the raft had struck on Ciatsop SPIT.
the bulkhead giving way and two OF the
after chains parting. It was referred to as
a yellow Journal and the story was
branded as a fake. The Telegram was
one Of the first Of the papers to arrive at
this conclusion. The news brought by the
National City demonstrates beyond a
doubt that the raft has met disaster. The
fact is. it began breaking OF the Coulm-
5ia. and the parting Of the chains made
1t impossible for the boom to live in the
open sea. 1t has been contended that the
raft went to pieces further down the
coast, this view being taken because of
the statement Of the officers Of
the steamship Columbia that they
sighted the raft and It was intact.
Such a contention is ridiculous. From
the time the raft put to sea until the day
the Columbia passed It the weather was
very severe, the wind at times having at
tanned velocity OF IS miles an hour.
Since that day the weather has been line.
| Ii is possible, of course, that the raft may
have lived through the gale. and found
cred in fair weather, but 1t is not at all
likely.
Mr.. Robertson, owner OF the raft,( was
on the sound when II was taken to sea.
He was notified that 1t had struck on
Clatsop spit and that ii had broken up.
1t is remarkable. to say the least, that II
the raft really did get far down the coast
in safety, its owner should have been
told different story.
When the Progresso arrives at San
Francisco the mystery will be cleared up.

COUNT ESTERHAZY CHARGED
Said Of Him That He Was Paid to False

PARIS. Sept. 2s.-At a meeting Of the
| cabinet this morning. all the ministers
being present. a decision was taken In
favor Of revision Of the trial OF Cap
tain Dreyfus, and the documents In the
case will be sent to the court Of cassa-
ton. Crowds OF people outside the min
istry OF the interior. where the cabinet
council was held. loudly cheered the min
isters.
The cabinet ordered the minister Of JUS
tice. N. sarr,en. 10 lay before the court
Of cessation tnv petition Of Madame Drey .
fus for q revision Of her husbands case.
The court therefore will decide the legal
question as TO whether the first trial OF
Dreyfus was visited by the forgery COM
mitted by the late Lieutenant-Colonel
Henry.
The cabinet meeting was prolonged and
animated. The minister Of agriculture. NJ.
yiger. is reported to have bitterly opposed
revision and It is ruJuOred he will re-
sign. II Is supposed instructions 70

were issued. al the request OF General
Chanoine. The city is excited and the
bourse is In a disturbed condition. The
conservative papers, however. counsel the
people to remain calm It is doub1fm II
the action OF the cabinet is popular
among the masses. especially the com
mon people who stlll cling 10 the fetch
OF "the honor OF the army"
In Intransigeant today Henri ROchefort
accused Major Esterhazy OF having been
bribed by so-called Dreyfus syndicate 10
cover himself with dishonor by confess
ing a forgery. OF which charge he was
twice acquitted"
ROchefort adds that he paid Esterhazy
1000 francs for copies OF all documents IN
the case, and that in addition with two
other newspaper men he paid Esterhazy,
who was without funds. 800 francs
monthly, to prevent him from dying from
hunger while waiting to obtain a pens on.
Continuing, Rochefort says:
Recently. without any apparent incen-
tive, Esterhazy mysterously went TO
der which she wasdback oderre emfwypi
London, abandoning the 800 francs
monthly. Why this emigration? Who
paid for the journey? With what money
has Esterhazy paid for his meals?"
NJ. Clemenceau, in Aurore, remarks;
France is divided into two camps
those who conceive that the interests OF
the country depend on the concealment
OF facts by lies and those who have suf-
hciently high esteem FOR the country 10
separate enthusiasm from the aspirations
OF justice and truth"
Libre Parole asserts that Esterhazy tel

Observer, of London, purporting to be a
