of money necessary to fit out and land
a volunteer contingent of Cubans from
this country and the added assurance
which we have received from the differ
ent Cuban generals in the field COM
manding the various divisions in the
field, particularly in the Orient and
Camaguey, that there are several thou
sand men in those parts who are anx-
iouS to join the army of liberation but
are unprovided with arms and ammu-
milton, with which to fight the delega-
t1on has felt justified in the action
which it has taken not to call for addi-
tional Cuban volunteers at present at
least.
1.-The cost is too great for the funds
at our disposal, and we find that Gu
bans on the island can be equipped at
less expense. It is possible that at some
later time it may be OppOrtune to ask
for further volunteers, but we already
have fully 400 CubanS now in camp at
Tama ready to form a second division.
In the meantime we will continue to
do all in our power to aid those who
nave already gone and remain united
and helping each other in the grand
struggle which is being made for Cuban
independence. 1t is a grave mistake
which is liable to result in serious con-
sequences, for our Cuban brethren in
this and other foreign countries in
believe that because the United States
has declared war against Spain and
has Joined with US to free Cuba FROM
Spanish rule, that Cuba has now been
recognized as independent; that there is
no further need of CubanS contributing
funds for the support of the cause and
delegation.
During the brief time which has
elapsed since the declaration of war
was made have arisen many extraordi-
nary expenses and these have all had
to be met promptly. The extra ex-
penses will in all probability continue
to arise from time to time and we are
unable to anticipate them.
1.-The Cuban republic has been dec1ar-
ed free and independent and if it is de-
sired that it should always remain so
it is necessary for Cuban patriots to
lend their aid to it and support and
provide for it. 1t is still of the ut
most Importance that we should have
funds to carry on our work.
eff we have not money with which to
meet our obligations we expose our
selves to discredit and dishOnOr among
our brethren of the United States who
have joined with us to fight for us, and
the impression which we would convey
would be an unfavOrable one and that
beautiful example of abnegation, union
and discipline which the Cuban patriots
have given to all the world should ap-
peal to the patriotism of every Cuban
in this and other countries. L trust
that they will all harken to the call of
duty and continue to contribute their
pecuniary aid to the cause of Cuban
independence and liberty each in pro-

INSANITY.
The Defense of John Collins
May Be This.
Probable He Could Be Acquitted
on This Ground.
MAY HIRE WATERS
AS Counsel in Conjunction With
A. A. GODDARD.
1t is Said Collins Has Made No
Confession.
s John Collins insane?

Is John Collins insane?
1t is now reasonably certain that will
be the defense of the attorneys in the
trial.
Attorney J. G. Waters has been en-
ployed to assist in the defense. He said
today that John Collins can be acquit-
ted on the ground that he is insane or
that he did not do the deed.
Attorney Waters denied that he had
been employed but it is learned from
another source that he has been re-
quested to assist Mr.. GODDARD and there
is no doubt about his acceptance He
is one of the best criminal lawyers in
the state and to be associated in the
case with Mr.. GODDARD means that the
case will be fought step by step from
the start.
county Attorney Jetmore is so en-
crossed with other criminal business
that he has not yet made arrangements
for the preliminary hearing but it will
pc early next week or during the latter
part OF this week An attempt will be
made at the preliminary hearing to
probe the testimony of Johnson Jordan
ana the other negroes to the bottom for
the purpose of finding the discrepancies
If there are any.
There are rumOrS that Sopoa+bipo
startling has transpired in connection
with the case but those who are near
the officers and the Collins family all
say that so far as John Collins is con-
cerned there is nothing new to be told.
Detective Harbaugh called at the iail
TO-DAY: He was asked if John Collins
had shown any disposition to make a
confession and replied: mo, L know
nothing of anything of the kind. If he
mad done that L would go home"

plans for conveying the troop trans
ports
Major General Shafter, who COM
mands the expedition, has with him a
force of 773 officers and 1864 enlisted
men. The United States regular troops
make up the greater part of the force,
there being but three volunteer or
ganizations on the ships. These are
the Seventy-first New York infantry
volunteers, the Second Massachusetts
infantry volunteers and two diSmOunt-
ed squadrons of four troops, each from
the First United States volunteer cav
airy, the regiment which Col. Wood
commands and of which Theodore
Roosevelt is lieutenant colonel. Wheth-
er any of these officers is with the two
squadrOns named is not yet known at
the war department. 1t was difficult
to prevail upon the mounted rif1emen
to leave their mounts behind, but this
was a matter of necessity. it is said
owing to lack of accommodations for
the horses on shipboard-
The best that the department could
do at this time in the way of supplying
the cavalry contingent for the expedi-
ton was to include among the troops
one squadron of the Second United
States cavalry fully mounted with nine
officers and 2S0 enlisted men.

landed from the Marblehead.
Four of our men were killed and one
wounded.
The advance pickets under Lieuten-
ants Neville and Shaw are unaccounted
for.
Among the killed is Assistant Surgeon
John Blair Gibbs, son of Major Gibbs,
of the regular army, who fell in the
Custer massacre. His home was at
Richmond, Va, but he has been prac-
ticing medicine in New York and he
entered the service since the war began.
He was a very popular officer.
The others killed are Sergeant Chas.
H Smith, of Smallwood: Private Will
liam Dunphy, of Gloucester, Mass.
and Private James McColgan, of Stone
ham, Mass.
Corporal Glass was accidentally
wounded in the head.
The Spanish loss is unknown, but it
was probably considerable. The splash
es of blood found at daylight at the
positions the Spaniards occupied indi-
cate fatalities, but their comrades car
ried off the killed and wounded.
The engagement began with desultory
firing at the pickets, a thousand yards
inland from the camp. Captain Spicer's
company was doing guard duty, and
was driven in, finally rallying on the
camp and repulsing the enemy at B
