there Is no ammunition.
He claims that the coast Notifications

she Will Send Four Companies Of Cavalry
90 the Cubans.
Patriotic Miss Helen Gould is deter
mined to do something to aid her coun-
try in its war with Spain to down op-
preston in Cuba. A short time ago she
sent her check for 800, 900 to President
Mckinley to bs used as he deemed prop
er in the war and intimated in the let
ter which accompanied it that she
would like to double the amount. This
check was returned by the president be-
cause under the law he had no power
to accept it, Miss Gould was disappoint-
ed by the result attending her patriotic
Offering, but she was not discouraged.
She consulted Mrs. Ledyard Stevens of
SO East Seventy eighth street, New
York, and was advised by her to expend
the money in sending soldiers to Cuba.
This proposition met with Miss
Gould's appreciation, and at the sugges-
tion of Mrs. Stevens George M. Barbour
was consulted az to the best way TO car
ny out the project. After conference it
was decided that Mr.. Barbour should
procure commission from the Cuban
authorities as brigadier general, with
authority to raise four companies of cav
airy of 60 men each to serve in the Gu
ban army and to be under the orders of
Cubans exclusively. Miss Gould agreed
to pay all the expenses OF recruiting
these men, to purchase uniforms, horses
and equipments and to pay all trans.
portation to Cuba. This project was
submitted by Barbour to the war de-
partment, and he was told that il he
landed in Cuba free of expense to the
government that the United States
would supply the men with arms and
ammunition. Mr.. Barbour received his
commission and authority to raise the
troops, and having completed his busi-
ness with the war department. left
Washington recently to recruit his men.
He is authorized to offer each man $50
a month who joins his command.
General Barbour said that he had re-
ceived assurances that he could raise
one cavalry company in Washington,
one in Philadelphia and two in New
York and that after he makes hurried
visit to New York he will begin recruit.
ing the men. He said that the greatest
difficulty was to obtain first class
quartermaster and adjutant. General
Barbour expressed himself as being cer-
tain that his troops would render the
Cubans much aid and that their pres
ence would encourage the insurgents to
continue their fight for liberty.
