lieve in their honesty of purpose to free Cuba, ard are confident of their ability to do so, but it must be borne in mind that the lodestar of Cuba is not merely freedom from dominion of Spain, but independence from outside control, however beneficent that con- trol might be, an absolute non-inter- ference by others in the management of our own affairs.
 Cuba, free and Independent, is the watchword of Cuban liberty. We in Cuba have been somewhat surprised at the slowness as yet of naval opera tions, but we are content to wait be- lieving delay has been a part of the plan of the American commanders and that the future will show the wisdom of the course adopted.
 The Cuban commanders await some decisive step on the part of Americans If you can open up and maintain com munication with the Cuban army, and give us a plentiful supply of arms and ammunition, we will free Cuba without the loss of an American soldier. Our position in the field is precarious. For lack of supplies we cannot concentrate our troops. Our camps shift from place to place, according to food con- ditions. We are hampered and embar- rassed for lack of ammunition. We cannot arm the men we are able to put in the field. Open up communication, give us arms and supplies, and we ask no more"

ARMY OF IMMUNES TO
 BE RAISED AT ONCE.
Six Regiments Will Be Recruited in Gulf States for the Invasion
 of Cuba

NEW YORK, May 21.-A special to the Tribune from Washington says:
 The intention of the War Depart ment to force the Cuban campaign was sufficiently indicated by the steps taken to-day for the speedy mobiliza- ton and equipment of the immune regiments authorized by Congress last week. This law, which empowers the President to authorize an additional volunteer force not exceeding 10000 en- listed men, possessing immunity from the diseases incidental to tropical cli- mates,' will be immediately put into effect by the formation of six regi- ments of nearly 1000 men each, to be recruited in the Gulf States.
 The President to-day selected the colonels of these immune regiments from among the best officers in the regular service, and orders will be is- sued to them tomorrow to hurry South and begin the selection of their commands, reporting for duty to the Fourth Corps, under Major General COppinge at Mobile

 KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 21-A dispatch from the Herald's correspond- ent at Falmouth dated Friday. says: Bronzed Gervazio Sabio, prince of Gu ban pilots and runner of four success full expeditions to the Cuban coast guided the schooner Eureka into Fal- mouth harbor yesterday, having on board 3rigadier Dr. Domingo Mendez Capote, vice-president of the Cuban re- public; Manuel Despaigne, his private secretary; Commandante Orencio No darse, controller general, and Com mandante Alberto Herrera, Capote's military aide de- camp.
 Senor Capote goes to Washington with the views of the existing govern ment as to settlement of the Cuban question in case of evacuation by the Spanish forces and will consult with T. Estrada Palma and regulate certain deviations made by the New York Junta from the policy of the Govern ment of Cuba. His military aid will advise on a plan of the coming cam paign and furnish the War Depart ment with much useful information. particularly regarding the western dis trict.

NEW YORK, May 21-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: In the minds of not a few observant persons the Philippines at this moment are the determining factor of a greater war situation. General Merritt told me to-day just before the train moved out of the Pennsylvania station that from 1S,000 to 10000 was the number of troops he expected to command. He said he thought this number would be sufficient to cope with obstacles in the way.
 General Merritt was accompanied by his -de-camp, Captain T. Bentley Mott. They expect now to make one short stop at Chicago.
 A feeling at last pervades not only the departments but better-informed public men that somebody has blum dered; that some order has come too late and that this order may prove to be with regard to too tardy movement of the troops to the Philippines. The opinion is distinct and emphatic in a suppressed way that our Government should at once send at least 10000 troops to Manila to aid Admiral Dewey
 d were received to-day that the public and technical opinion in Spain is unan- imous in advising the Government to send the reserve squadron with strong contingent of reserves and ar tillery to Manila at once. I learned to- day from a source that is to be relied on that General Merritt has had the warm cooperation of the President,
 
 could have what he wanted, but it was reluctlantly stated to me that no soon- CT would General Merritt put in an ap- pearance at the office of the Adjutant General than he would find all plans that had been made at the White House had been set aside by two oth- CT clements of which the public has had hitherto no knowledge-namely General Miles and the Secretary of War.
 The Secretary of War Is doing the best he can, all say, and he Is on the best of terms with General Merritt and his plans. But General Miles Is doing the best he can for Cuba, and undoubt- edly, according to authentic informa- tion, grudges everything taken from the regulars" and allowed to General Merritt.
 Thus, while General Merritt, it was thought, would start to the Philippines with 5000 regulars, it is now thought he will not be able to get more than 4000 regulars. General Miles stands con- stantly in the way, I am told.
 General Merritt will not leave San Francisco until he sees his regulars at least well aboard. He said this much this afternoon. but his mind did not seem to be dwelling so much upon the difficulty of getting troops as upon the difficulties of getting transports. asked Captain Mott if should the delay continue much longer American forces would be able to arrive in due season, and he replied:
 Yes; the Spaniards have 1900 more miles between them and Manila than the American forces will have to go from San Francisco"
 learned to-day from one thoroughly informed that the regulars would cer- tainly not sail before ten days and the last of the volunteers will not have anchor before two weeks.

lar belief that both Sampson and Schley were there.
 Tonight a naval offi- cer stated positively his disbelief in the Cape Haytien story. Tt lacks pIausibility," said he, for, in the first place, there are not twelve vessels inSpain's squad ron; secondly, Admiral Sampson is not at Mole St. Nicholas, and, third ly, we believe the Span iardS are still in Santiago harbor."
 The official spoke as if he had definite knowledge of the whereabouts of the two fleets, and gave The Call cor respondent to understand that our swiftest war vessels under Simpsons command were steaming as rapidly as possible to Santiago
 The four monitors together with the blockading vessels are guarding the ap proach 10 Havana from Yucatan chan nel. It is evident that Navy Depart ment officials do not expect news of a battle for a day or two, for, assuming that Sampson's entire fleet was really at Key West for coal and ammunition on Friday morning 1t would take him over sixty hours to reach Santiago, even though he had only fast cruisers with him. But with battleship5 in his squadron he could not make the trip In less than eighty hours, steaming at B speed of ten knots an hour.
 It Is not likely that he could do this. l
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-22

Mole St. Nicholas is very near Cape Haytien. It is at the northwestern point of Hayti on a promontory that extends westerly into the WindWard Straits and is about 100 miles from Santiago. If such an engagement has oc- cured Admiral Cervera was steaming north through the straits, for if he had been re- turning to Spain he would have sailed easterly or south easterly from Santiago on a track over 100 miles south of Mole St. Nicholas.
 The fact that the Key West correspondents have yes terday and to-day been mak- ing persistent efforts to pass the censor and convey to their papers covert intimations of important developments to occur within tWenty-four hours also lends degree of probability to the Cape Hay tien story
 When it was reported from Key West yesterday morning that Simpsons and Schley's squadrons had effected a juncture at Key West the naval strategists here made no denial. Indeed they seemed to encourage a popu- |

The Cruiser Montgomery Has Some Interesting Target Practice Off
 the Cuban Coast

KEY WEST, Fla, May 21-The United States cruiser Montgomery. which bril- liantly slenced the Cabanas Island bat teries in the battle at San Juan, had more practice last Monday afternoon. While cruising along the north coast of Cuba 100 miles east of Cardenas light. she sighted three Spanish gunboats and gave chase to them The Spanish vessels were painted black and were about the size of the Mayfiower, and fled to the shore and took refuge in an inlet where the cruiser could not follow them. The Montgomery let fly two broadsides at the terrified Spaniards, but the effects of the shots could not be aScertained

-Four Days in New York.

Among the delegates to the last
Christian Endeavor meeting at Boston
was Il young western girl who hld
never been able to afford the advan-
tages OF travel. But on this OCCASION
by nvailing herself of the excursion
rates. she managed to buy her ticket to
Boston and return. with n meager
amount left over for board and current
expenses.
When she arrived in New York on the
return trip she had In her pocket, be-
sides her railroad ticket, the sum Of
$3.50. Instead of Immediately boarding
the west bound train-as most girls
with so small a reserve fund would
have domestic decided not to lose the
opportunity for self-improvement, and
resolved that no petty money consider
alton should interfere with her plans.
She went to the Industrial Home of
the Christian League for the Promo
ton of Social Purity. which Is prnc-
tically n homelike but cheap boarding
house for self-supportng women,
where she was able to hire n clean bed
in an airy dormitory for % cents It
night, and could purchase her meals ut
prices ranging from cents to 30.
BY the iudiclous curtailment of all
table luxuries and by ignoring all
means OF conveyance except her own
two feet she was able TO remain in this
city four days, During that time she
saw everything for which no admit
tance fee wns charged from the statue
of Liberty and Brooklyn bridge to the
museums OF natural history and of
art, where she took notes.
Her money and the four days came
to an end at the same time. and she
cheerfully took the train bound for her
home, having. by good management
and perseverance,. gained more thor
ough knowledge of New York city than
the average tourist with more time
md plenty Of money.-Chicago Record.
