A GREAT VICTORY.
General Gomez Defeats the Spaniards
Near Camaguey.

General Gomez Defeats the Spaniards
Near Camaguey.
New York. Aug. 10.-The Cuban jun
In in his city has the following Cuban
advices:
The American arms sent I'm to Cuba
on the last Nunez expedition on the
government steamer Wanderer have
been used with good effect by the Gu
ban soldiers under Gomez, Diaz and
Roles. News Of Cuban victories I'm the
western provinces has reached here,
one Of the battles being the largest n
most important ever fought in that
part OF the island. With the news of
victory, however, m a story OF Gu
ban suffering from starvation and an
appeal for further aid from the United
States.
The principal battle was the result Of
the success of the attempt of General
Gomez. with 5000 men, to force the
trocha between Las Villas and CANA
guey. to make his headquarters with
the officers OF the government Of the
Cuban republic in Camaguey. The
trocha at this point was guarded by
1000 Spaniards under General Castel-
lanos and never had been broken be-
fore. General Gomez himself led his
soldiers as they made the attack on
the trocha and block houses early i'm
the morning. The principal block
houses were not heavily garrisoned and
were quickly stormed and taken. The
Spanish soldiers fell back Of the trocha
line and there made n stubborn resist
ance. which they kept up the greater
part OF the day.
In the afternoon, however, their main
body gave way before a machete charge
OF the Cubans and the entire cuban
force passed over the dividing line and
marched without further interruption
into Camaguey. More han 800 Span
iards were killed I'm the battle and
about $50 Cubans lost their lives. There
were many wounded on both sides.
Spanish and Cuban wounded were
cared for alike by General Gomez's
physicians. and Spanish prisoners were
liberated after being deprived of their
arms.
In Tres Palmas, General DiaZ, with a
comparatively small body of Cuban sol
diers. engaged n Spanish column 600
strong. drove them out Of the village
and took possession Of II, together with
a store of arms and provisions, which
were distributed among the Cuban
families. Tres Palmas Is near Bahia
Honda and there Is great restitution
all along there.

RECORD FOR INDUSTRY
Nebraska Republicans Put Up
Their Ticket.
HAYWARD FOR GOVERNOR
A Declaration In Favor of Imperialism
Wa Pigeonholed-The Platform Ad-
vocates the Gold Standard.
Silver Denounced.

Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 10.-Nebraska re-
publicans made a record for industry to-
day in their state convention. concluding
with a degree Of harmony perhaps une-
qualled in the history of the party In the
last 10 years. The selection of Judge M.
l.. Hayward OF Nebraska City as the head
of the ticket was made certain when pos
itive assurances came this morning from
Washington hat Assistant Secretary Of
Wal Meiklejohn, whom man delegates
desired to honor, would under no cir
cumstances permit the use Of his name.
Judge Baker OF Omaha. the only other
candidate for the governorship, withdrew
early in the roll call on the first formal
ballot and requested the unanimous selec-
ton of Judge Hayward.
The speech OF Senate John NJ. Thurs
ton, as permanent chairman, while short.
was full of fire and brought the enthusi-
asm Of the crowd to the bubbling point.
Much Of his address was devoted to the
war and its successful prosecution and
probable early conclusion under the guild
ing hand of President Mckinley.
The contests for the remaining places on
the ticket were at no time bitter, many
OF the selections being made by accia-
nation.
The complete ticket is as follows: For
governor, NJ. L. Hayward. Otoe county;
lieutenant governor, George A. Murphy,
Gage county; secretary of state, Cenek
Duras, Saline county; auditor, T.. /.
Matthews. Dodge county; treasurer, Pc
ter Mertenson, Valley county; superin-
tendent of public instruction. J. f. Say
lor, Lancaster count attorney general.
N. ID. Jackson, Antelope county: commits
sioner of public lands and buildings, A.
w. Williams, Douglas county.
The platform is brief and goes to ex-
tremes i'm conservatism, dismissing the
subject of territorial expansion with an
Endorsement of President Mckinley's
proposed terms of peace.
A sentiment favorable to a declaration
for Imperialism was apparent before the
convention met, but IL is supposed to
nave been antagonized In the m
on resolutions and did not come before
the convention. The platform reiterates
the declarations at st. Louis and con-
tinues:
I'VE are in favor of the maintenance of
the present gold standard and unalterably
opposed TO the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. We favor the payment of our
soldiers and sailors In the same money
as is paid the bondholders."
The convention adjourned sine die at
& 40 % m.

THEY ALL DENY BRIBERY
III PAIL MALL FINANCIAL Ed
TOR MAKES AN EXPLANATION.
The Money Was Compensation for a Con
tract Hooley Was Unable to Fulfill.
Earl Dela war; Admits.

London, Aug. 10.-On the resumption
to-day into the examination of the af-
fairs OF Ernest Hooley, the bankrupt
company promoter, the register an
nounced that Mr.. Hooley was i'll and that
his examination must be adjourned. 1t
was decided, however, to allow those
who have been charged with receiving
brides TO make sworn statements.
Mr.. Duguid, formerly financial editor of
the Pail Mall Gazette, explained that the
$4,000 which Hooley paid him was a
compensation, explaining that Mr.. Hooley
appointed him city editor of a newspaper,
but was unable 10 fill his contract. Mr..
Hooley upon another occasion offered the
witness s., 900 in shares OF a hydraulic
company, which he refused to accept.
Earl Delawarr was next sworn. He ad-
mitted having received $500 through
Mr.. Broadley, Mr.. Hooley's agent. after
the fiotation Of the Dunlop company. but
witness said he had never received any
thing to transmit to the Earl of Able
marie, nor had he received co. 900 for intro
ducing Hooley to Lord Greville.
A cable dispatch was read from Lord
Norbury, denying that he had refeivei
GI. 900 to join the Singer board.
Mr.. Praed, the manager of Lloyd's
bank, said the statements of Mr.. Hooley
In regard to the bank were absolutely
false, and he produced documents empow-
eflnR the Ddnh 10 sell % Olhti ~ hiH-
pose of the securities IL held against Mr..
Hooley's overdraft. Continuing, the wit
ness said Mr.. Hooley once said to him:
you know. Praed. I have lied to every
body in nearly every case, but / have al
ways told you the truth"
The examination was adjourned until
Friday next.
In the queens bench division of the
high court of justice to-day Justice
Wright granted counsel for the official re-
ceiver of the Hooley estate permission TO
serve notice upon Earl Delawarr and
Messrs. Broadley. Bradshaw and Rucker
that on FRIDAY next a motion will he
made 10 commit them for contempt of
court in attempting TO induce Mr.. Hooley
20 falsify his evidence. On supper of the
| application counse presented the telegram
from Delaware to Mr.. Hooley mentioned
at Mr.. Hooley's last examination, which
| read as follows: please make IL clear
that did not have f50,000 for Dunlop,
nor kept anything for Albemarle. Also
that conditions were made in regard TO
the payment for joining the board, and
also that ] did not introduce you to Lord
! Greville.' The telegram concludes with
asking Mr.. Hooley TO say he did not have
any communication with Earl Delawarr

voy, the monitor Monterey. were three
days out from Hawaii when fire was

of the crew reported that there was a

when all the troops were asleep, Cap

Then for the first time the truth was
