GOMEZ Is READY TO AID.
10 Now Moving Toward the Capital
With AII His Forces.

Jacksonville, Fla, April l2.-The Cuban
junta here received a very important let.
ter from General Gomez yesterday via
Key West
While its contents have been guarded
very carefully and the main portions sen,
to the New York junta's Office, vet il Is
ascertained that it brings news that Co
mez is preparing TO cooperate with tn,
United States forces in case Of war in an
attack upon Havana.
CalixtO Garcia has passed the trocha
and he and Gomez, with some $1,000 men
are now marching westward and towards
Havana The insurgents are recruiting in
all sections, and from good authority il
is asceTtained that Gomez promised to
have from $4,000 to $1,000 troops behind
Havana to aid in reducing it.
The letter added that the Spanish Off
GERS there were greatly worried over the
news Of Corners approach and that troops
had been called into Havana and that
much work was being done throwing new
eaTthworks up in the rear of the city and
otherwise strengthening the forts in that
section.
The insurgents, so the dispatch said,
hailed with joy the intervention Of the
United States. and their ranks are being
rapidly increased daily. Gomez and the
United States are now in close touch, and
the news of the declaration Of war will be
carried to him by means Of private sig.
nails without loss Of time 50 that the he
could move with knowledge Of what the
United States is doing.

Washington. April I4.-The festimony
taken before the senate committee on for
eign relations in connection with the In.
vestigation into the relations between the
United States and Cuba was made public
today. II constitutes a book Of about
$50 pages and includes not only the testi.
mony taken since the disaster 10 the
Maine. but also much that was known
before, and running hack for a year 90
more.
The statement which contains the
greatest current interest Is that made by
Central LEE ON the 18th instant. In his
statement Lee says he was informed on
very good authority that the Spaniar.is
have placed two rows Of torpedoes lust 1t
the mouth Of the harbor Of Havana within
the past two months or subsequent ID
the Maine disaster. and that switch
boards are in q room IN Moro castle.

FRYE.
No, sir. ] had no reason to suspect
anything Of that sort up to that time
He then went on to say that Weyler,s
letter TO Santos Gusman had led him 60
believe that mines might have been placed
there previous 10 the Maine incident. and
he said this superstition was strengthened
by a Telegram from Weyler Of which he
had eogniEanee- Upon the whole he
thought the WeyIer letter 1.-THE Lame let
teri was a correct copy of the genuine
letter- The telegram to which, he referred
was addressed to Eva Canela. a noted
Spanish woman and admirer of Weyiey
and to Senior Gnsnan, and Il read as foI.

Grave circumstances cause me To "a,
yon to destroy my last letter Of Febru-
airy Ia
Lee said this telegram had never before
been published. and he found in IL strong
ooniiEmatory evidence Of the genuineness
Of the Weyler letter.
With reference TO the responsibility for
the destruction Of the Maine, Lee aid:
i am satisfied the explosion was from
the outside. l have ALWAYS believed the
Maine was not blown up by any private
individual. but by some officers Who had
charge OF the mines and electric wines
and torPedoes in the arsenal. who thor
orghly understood their business. for Il

GRANVILLE COUNTY COPPER.

BOSTON. Mass, June 20.-(Special.) -
A large number of people prominent IN
financial circles, have been attracted
during the past few days to the banking
house Of Bickford & Richards, who have
on exhibit ton of copper-bearing ore
IN ken from Granville and Person coun-
ties. in North Carolina. Experts pro-
nounee it excellent quality, and several
State geologists, among them Prof. j. a.
Holmes. are unanimous III their opinion
that ore is there in paying quantity.
There are several of the mines that
were actively worked before the civil
war, but owing to lack of railroad facili-
ties no extensive under ground opera
tions were undertaken until recently.
The mines are situated two miles from
Nirpilina station on the Atlantic and
DanviIle Railroad, 137 miles from Nor
folk. and consists of POI acres, embrac-
ing two and a half miles on the vein.
The company has four shafts on its Blue
Wing claim averaging in depth from 20
To 10 feet. The Keystone shaft IS down
90 feet The Pocahontas claim has two
shafts down 90 feet. On the Giles
property there are four shafts down
from 100 TO $50 feet. 1t is estimated
that the company has in sight at least
$4,000 tons Of rock which will run 10
per cent copper Low wages, lower cost
Of supplies, and the nearness to seaboard
transportation facilities are enumerated
as factors which will enable a reduction
in the cost Of production to the mini
mum.
Five of the directors and their mining
experts returned to Boston this morning
from visit to the mines. They report
everything necessary has been arranged
and the work will be pushed immediate
ly. The Atlantic and Danville Railroad
will, in short while, extend their road
two miles into North Carolina to reach
the mining district.
Some Of the strongest financial inter
ests in Boston are active in support Of
this enterprise. and they have the co
operation Of ex-Judge A. w. Graham
and X. w. Lassiter, of Oxford, ~ G..
who are named as directors. Judge
Graham is also corporation counsel.
H. M. Holleman left last Saturday
