EXPECT INDEPENDENCE.
Counsel Rubens Says Cubans Believe United
States Will Fulfil Promises.

New York. Sept. 1G.-H. S. Rubens.
counsel of the Cuban Junta here today,
denied the statement that the visit to
Cuba of Benjamin Guerra of the New
York Junta. was for the purpose of har-
monizing Cuban fractional differences and
presenting a united front against any
attempt at American annexation.
Mr.. Rubens said that there was moth
ing to show that the government was not
sincere in its promises to secure Cuban
independence as at the time it sent its
ultimatum to Spain. Mr.. Guerra, no
more than any other Cuban leader, had
any idea that there was any danger of
American annexation. There is no feel
ing in Cuba and among the Cubans but
of gratitude to the American government
for intervention.
1.-THE Cuban people are not responsible
fer the opinions or actions of any indi-
vidual or small group of individuals,
who may disagree with the majority.
"a manifesto said to be issued by Au-
Economists which deprecates annexation,
Or an American piotectorate, or anything
less than complete independence of the
island, and advocates the establishment
Of cordial relations between the Spanish
and Cubans, does not reflect the attitude
of the Separatists.

LETTER FROM jERNEGAN.
Writes from Far of Belgium to Clear His
Brothers Name.

The New York Herald publishes the
following letter from P. F. Jernegan of
Eaectrolytic Marine Salts Company
fame:
''To the Editor of the Herald: Since
you have given so much space in your
columns to the affairs of the Electricity
tic Marine Salts Company, trust you
will publish statement from me in
reference to the relations existing be-
tween myself and my brother. Marcus
w. Jernegan, SO far as they have per-
tanned to the affairs of the company.
my brother is absolutely guiltless
of any intention of participating in the
least degree in any defrauding of the
aforesaid company. assuming for the
moment that the company is the vic
tim of fraud. He served myself and
Mr.. Fisher in a purely secretaral capa-
city when he assisted us in New York.
He was led to do this by explanations
which made our actions in investing
in outside securities consistent with
the welfare of the Electrolytic Marine
Salts Company.
IF the directors of the company
men of large business experience
could receive so trustingly representa-
tions which they now repel as absurd,
it is certainly not incredible that a
young man just out of college should
accept plausible statements from his
own brother. In making q legal fight
for the retention of my property he did
simply what the law gives to every ac-
cused persOn-gave me the benefit of
the doubt. To associate his name with
suggestions of fraud is as cruel a
wrong as could be done to a young
man whose life is spotless, and who is
just entering on his life career.
Perhaps it may gain some accept
ance for my words from those whose
creed it now is to doubt me by quoting
to my own disadvantage from a letter
written to me by my brother, Aug. q,
1898. in which he says:
Papers have been served on me as q
trustee, and l have got to swear before
a justice of the peace the exact amount
of property of yours in my possession.
This / must do for two reasons-First,
because / have serious doubt that you
obtained the money either legally or
morally by right; second, because l
refuse absolutely to knowingly commit
perjury with selfish interest for oil
the money that was ever coined. When
went under an assumed name in New
York did it with no selfish interest, as
thought the money was morally and
legally yours, and that I was protecting
the market value of the stock of the
company. Now. it is quite another
matter, and the truth must be told.

ARMY MOVEMENTS.
Large Force Now Being As
sembled in the South
For Occupation Of Cuba and Porto
Rico and a Reserve.
No Anxiety Felt Over Rumors oiFuture Trouble
With cubans.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The military
movements are being directed rapidly
towards the assembling OF large
army in Southern stations for winter
camps and preparatory to the mill
tary occupation of Cuba and Porto
Rico. About 1900 troops are now To-
Gated in the South and orders will be
issued, sending the LIST, I'd. 9Th. 9th
and 10th Cavalry from Montauk to
Southern stations. The Sd Cavalry al
ready has gone South, and the 1st and
ID Infantry were, yesterday, ordered
to Admission and the Sth and 10th to
Huntsville. This leaves the Hh, Bath
and Both Infantry, the I'd Volunteer
Engineers and Companies from G and
II. 4th Artillery at Montauk.
Within a day or two these last re-
naming troops will be ordered South
and Camp Wikoff will be no more.
The purpose is to establish winter
camps between the 31st and 35th paral-
lels. The major part of the army thus
assembled is destined for service in
Cuba. with much smaller force for
Porto Rico and a reserve in the winter
camps.
send the army of occupation to Cuba
until after the unhealthy season has
passed and meanwhile the troops will
be put in the best possible condition.
On account of the desire of the war de-
partment that no chances shall be
taken in the way of exposure of the
troops to the dangers of the unhealthy
season, no impatience is felt on ac-
count of the rather slow progress of
the work of the commission of evacua-
ton at Havana.
Great satisfaction is expressed at the
progress being made in Porto Rico and
the evacuation is expected to occur
speedily; but in connection with the
occupation of Porto Rico. the same
anxiety as TO the health of the army is
not felt, nor are there similar diff
culties in connection with establishing
the government, Porto Rico becoming
at once a part of the territory of the
United States.
In assembling and organizing the
army for the occupation of Cuba. the
consideration of possible trouble with
the organized insurgents is not being
taken into serious account. The Ha-
vana dispatches stating that theae has
developed a strong sentiment lin
favor of independence and opposition
to annexation" coupled with hostility
towards the United States is read with
rather an air of amusement by officials
Of the administration who suggest that
it is absurd to give as reason for hos
tility on the part of Cubans towards
the United States that the Cubans are

clue to work on, and an effort is being
made to follow the supposed course of
the fugitive toward Portland.

shots We're fired at Boothby instead of
one as was at first supposed. One bullet
was found in the head. while hole

The one hundred and twenty-first
anniversary of the adoption of the
american flag by congress will occur
on June IA; and the fact calls to mind
the first standard of our independence,
which had represented on it snake
cut in thirteen pieces, representing
the thirteen colonies, bearing the mot
to "Join or die Patrick Henry'S
men marched behind a standard bear
ing rattlesnake in an attitude ready
to strike and the warning. Don't tread
on mel" Doctor Franklin wrote of
this design: "The ancients considered
the serpent an emblem of wisdom. 1t
is quite customary for countries to be
represented by animals peculiar to that
country The rattlesnake is found no.
where but in America. Her eye is ex-
ceedingly bright and without eyelids-
emblem of vigilance. She never be-
gins an attack and she never surren-
ders-emblem of magnanimity and
courage. She never wounds even her
enemies until she generously gives
them warning not to tread on her. Her
thirteen rattles, the only part which
increases in number. are distinct from
each other, and yet so united that they
cannot be disconnected without break
ing them to pieces, showing the impos-
sibility of an American republic with
out a union of states" Doctor Frank
lin pursues the smile still further, and
in following it the reader is impressed
with the analytical keenness of the old
philosopher in his study Of the fitness
of the symbol that was to represent the
character and relationship of the thir-
teen colonies.

John r. Moore, who has succeeded
Judge Day as first assistant secretary
of state, held a place in that depart
ment under the Harrison administra-
tion. Appointed originally from Della
ware in the state department by Mr..
Bayard when the latter was secretary,
MIR Moore, by sheer merit and ability,
worked his way up to the place of
second assistant secretary, and in that
capacity he served under several ad-
ministrations without regard to polit-
ical changes. He resigned his place
in the state department to accept the
chair of international law at Columbia
university about three years ago, and
it is believed that his present appoint
ment is only temporary owing to his
indisposition to permanently sever his
connections with Columbia. Mr.. Moore
is an authority on certain branches Of
international law.

NUNS THE WORD.
Censorship at Tampa More Strict
Than Ever Before.


Tampa, Fla, June 5. - The censor
ship at Tampa, which relaxed enough
to permit of chronicling with certain
restrictions the arrival of volunteer
troops at this point, has been frightened
to even a greater extreme than before
No comments whatever will be allowed
on the movements of the regular or
volunteer troops, either to or from this
point, nor will anything bearing on any
phase of the situation here be permit
ted. Correspondents are practically
limited now to the yeriest camp gossip.
Nothing in the nature of information
or reports of embarkation of troops at
this point or any comment which
might indicate movement will be al
lowed. Not only is the Geographic
news censored, but secret service men
are said to be watching very carefully
the mails from Tampa, and any suspi-
cious letter will probably be confiscat-
ed The orders for the Tightening of
the censorship came directly from Gen.
Greeley at Washington.

Washington, June Z. = Capt. Charles
V. Gridley, commander Of the cruiser
Olympia, and one of the heroes of the
brilliant victory at Manila, is dead.
The announcement of his death was
received by the department late yes
terday afternoon in a cablegram from
Paymaster Calf, of the navy, dated at
Kobe, Japan, and directed to Secre-
tary Long. The dispatch contained
this simple statement:
Capt Gridley died to-day. Remains
accompany me on Coptic."
Capt Vernon Gridley is the first
American officer of great prominence
whose death is a direct result of the
existing war with Spain. AS the COM
mander of Admiral Dewey's splendid
flagship, and one of the admiraFs chief
advisers, Capt Gridley achieved dis
tinction at the battle of Manila bay
and added to his previous laurelS by
winning high praise from his superiors
in the service for distinguished gal
lantry and ability. He fought his ship
from the coming tower, while Admiral

weeks after the engagement that Capt.
Gridley
Had Suffered Injury
and even now the precise nature OF
his trouble is not known. On the ar
rival Of the Seafire at HOngkong on
May a the navy department was no
titled that Capt. Gridley had been con-
demned by board of medical surgery
and ''invalided home" Subsequent adj
vices received by the department indi-
Gated that Capt. Gridley was suffering
from the effects of a rupaure supposed
to have been received during the bat
tie at Manila, but no details were
made known. 1t was not supposed
that his illness was very serious as the
navy department was informed that
the captain, in company of Paymaster
Gait, would leave for home as soon as
possible.
On May % they left Hongkong on
the steamer COptic, one of the vessels
of the Occidental and Oriental steam
ship line 1t would appear that Capt.
Gridley died about the time the snip
reached Kobe. Capt. Gridley was not
''dress parade" officer. Among the
older officers of the service, especially
among those with whom he served he
had the reputation of being one OF the
best equipped officers of the navy.
