NO FUSION VS.. TRUE FUSION.

By w. R. Kyle (not the false senator).
There was no fusion supporters in
my town. None but those who are
solid mid-road principles can represent
us. If they want fusion why don't they
fuse under A NEW NAME ON A REAL
REFORM PLATFORM. 1t is a settled
fact that if the Peoples Party fuse as
in 96 it is dead. 1t must stand on it's
own platform. Then it will add to it's
number from both the old parties and
thereby become the leading party.

The last cable strands binding Cuba to
the outside world were cut this afternoon
by cable vessel conveyed here by the
United States dispatch gunboat Dolphin.

the coast, hour by hour, and its powerful
claws at length brought up the barnacle-
clustered cable strands and snapped

morning. The coast loop connecting San

Proceeding to GUANTANAMO, the cable
vessel finally grappled and severed the
Haytien cable.
This ends the cable-cutting operations
begun month ago, when the Marble

The strands cut today were the only
ones remaining, except few coast loops,
and these will probably be severed in
short time.
The cutting Of these cables is almost
as serious for the Spaniards in coast
towns as the cutting of foreign cables. the

NEW FLAG FOR MORRO.
Stars and Stripes, 1870 by 43 Feet
In Size, will Float Over

Stripes in the shape of the largest flag in
the world will float over Moro castle,
Havana, when Blanco surrenders. The
immense flag designed for this duty is al
ready prepared and may be seen draped
at the front of an empty storeroom at
147 Fulton street. A patriotic Wall
street man has had the great flag made.
It measures 120 feet in length and 43 1-3
feet in width, and it is believed that it
breaks the record for SIZE
1t is so big that special bunting was
made for it in Boston. The bunting
measured AZ inches across in the rough.
Made up in the flag, allowing for seams,
each stripe measures 40 inches. 1t took
a full piece of forty yards for each stripe,
except where they run into the Jack.
The Jack measures 40 feet in length
and covers the space Of seven stripes. The
stars are not very large. From point to
point each star measures Ii inches. They
are arranged in alternating rows of seven
and eight according to army regulations.
The flag will cost $500. Big as it is, it
can be packed in a large travelling trunk
and will not weigh more than 200 or $50

New York. June 4.-Louis Duany has
arrived in this city from Jamaica. He
left Santiago de Cuba May 10. Mr..
Duany does not believe that Cervera' s
fleet is at Santiago and he says:
II think that Cervera's feet may have
been confused with FIVE Spanish boats
which were il the harbor when left
These were Ell Reina Mercedes, a second
class cruiser. Ell Condo Benadito, FL
Marques dc Molin, auxiliary cruisers with
dOval and La Estrelle.
The cruiser Reina Mercedes is dis

she was lying just inside the entrance
to the harbor. Her guns We're removed
to the Notifications.
The Spaniards laid q few mines last
winter, but on May the work began on
large scale. l saw men at this work in
the harbor for some time afterward, and
about seventy mines have been laid alto
gether. The first line of six mines is
laid directly across the mouth of the har-
Dor from Moro castle to the buoy which
marks the shallow water line near La
Socapa, the fortress opposite. Directly
behind the first lines are lines Of four,
three and two mines each. so that the
entrance to the harbor is we'll laid with
mines. The other mines are all along the
ship channel for six miles to the docks.
The mines are all connected by wires with
the shore.
II visited all of the forts and I am
sure that the only modern guns in use
are those taken from the cruiser Reina
Mercedes. There are two of these guns
at Moro and the others are at La Socapa
and Punta GOrda.
There are 100 soldiers at Moro, so at
La Socapa, 80 at Punta Gorda and 100
at Punta Blanca. The principal mag
azine is at Ell Polvian. The soldiers at
the forts are we'll armed and well
equipped, but l do not believe that they
are good gunners, at least I never saw
them practice during my stay of eight
months. There are $4,000 troops in the
province of Santiago under the command
Of Gen. Pando and 5000 in the city of
Santiago and outlying towns under the
command of Gen. Toval and Gen. Lin

On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, OF
Santiago de Cuba, May 81, (via Port
Antonio, Jamaica, June 1.)-Commodore
Schley determined to test the batteries
of Santiago de Cuba today and ascertain
their location aud capacity. At 10
o'clock he transferred his flag to the
Massachusetts and went on board that
ship.
AT 1:15 o'clock the Massachusetts
slgnalled the Iowa and the New Orleans
to form column and follow. A course
due east was steered until the ships were
about 1000 yards from the shore. and
then, circling until they headed due west,
they passed, starboard side on, by the
forts The heavy 13-inch guns of the
the Iowa were ordered to open on the
Cristobal Colon, which was about 1000
yards inside the Moro, while the New
orleans large caliber guns were to omen
on the forts, so as to draw their fire.

ten knots. allowed of the Crstobal Colon

In that time it is believed she was hit
twice, but was not seriously damaged,
The entire set of Notifications some
SIX in number, opened fire, and the object
of the expedition was attained.
Some of the modern guns, with smoke
less powder, were aimed well, but of the
shots fired not one did any damage to
Commodore Schley's fleet. The Cristobal
Colon replied to the fire, but all of her
shots fell short.

At $3.50 o'clock the commodore was

WEST INDIES TROUBLES
Uprising in the Republic Of Santo
Domingo - The Fanita
Landed a Party.

. Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 3.-11:4O a.
m.-The mystery surrounding the move
ments of the Clyde line steamer Fanita
are now said to be fully explained. 1t
appears established beyond doubt that
the reports of an uprising in the Republic
Of Santo Domingo against the power of
President Heurreaux are correct. The
initial blow was struck at Monte Cristo
on the borders of Hayti, the nearest
Dominican port to Cape Haytien.
The preparations for the revolution are
said to have been very elaborate and there
is strong belief here that the revolution
lists are sure of success. But, on the other
hand, the Dominican consul here says he
has a report that the revolutionists have
been defeated at Monte Cristo. The report
is generally believed.
According to the impression which pre-
walls at Cape Haytien, the Fanita, when
she left here. had a tried and resolute
body of men on board and also carried
heavy supply of arms and ammunition.
1t is charged that she skillfully worked
up the impression that she was engaged
in an expedition to Cuba and was going
to Monte Cristo to take on more men.
