HAVANA, Sept. 7.-Gen. Arrange, at a
recent. meeting at the Spanish club in
Sagua. where Cubans and negroes were
present said:
1.-THE sailor Cervera is the Maxine
Gomez of the sea. He has earned more
laurels than the Yankees ever WILL for
the Yankees would never face a fleet or
ironclads with four wooden ships. The
Yankee reports have called the Spanish
troops cowardly. 1 deny the charges.
The Spanish troops are the bravest in the
world. If they were not so they could not
have made Roadway against the eXtraor-
binary bravery Of the Cubans. The time
for unity has come. Cursed be the Span
lard who does not love the Cuban, and
cursed be the Cuban who does not love
the Spaniard. The Americans are now
in Cuba through their want of shame. If
Cuba is to be lost to the Latin race on

GERMANY HAS SPOKEN.
Declaration of Innocence of Drey-

Jus lSnOTeU ia Cbhcc'
BERLIN, Sept. 1.-The semi-oficia1
press expressed considerable surprise at
the announcement of the declaration Of
M. Labor that he had been officially
Informed that Col. Swartzkoppen would
be allowed to depose. The Cologne Ca
zette says:
Germany will neither permit Col.
Schwartzkoppen to go to Rennes nor
allow him to be subjected to any ex-
animation. Count Won Buelows declara-
lions respecting the innocence of Drey-
fus were made after careful examination
and consultation with the emperor. These
declarations did not meet in France with
the recognition they deserved, and there
is no guarantee that Col. Swartzkoppen
as a. witness would meet with any bet
ter reception. The opinion In official cir
cles is that Germany cannot again expose
herself to the possibility that her official
declarations would remain disregarded or
be treated as false"
The other papers take a similar ground
the National Gazette saying that Ger
many's decision would be rightfully un-
derstood everywhere outside Of France.

Efforts to Save Condemned Man
From the GaIIoys.

Annapolis, Nd, March o3.-Col William
]. Vannort, of Kent county, arrived in
Annapolis yesterday and presented to Gov
ernor Lowndes six petitions for commu-
tation of the death sentence of Joseph
Wright, colOred, who will be hanged at
Chestertown Friday unless the governor
in the meantime exercises executive Glenn
ency
Colonel Vannort called attention TO the
fact that the petition was signed by nearly
400 citizens, including lawyers, preachers
of various denominations, the postmaster
of the town, and representative citizens.
He claimed that the ends of justice would
be subserved if the criminal. who Is just
twenty-one years old, should be sent to
penitentiary for life. In case the governor
refused to commute the death penalty,
Colonel Vannort thought respite at least
should be given for thirty days so that ad-
ditional evidence could be procured COL
onel Vannort declared the action taken by
the citizens in behalf of Wright had no
political significance. the petition having
been signed by Republicans, Democrats,
and Prohibitionists.
1t was considered unfortunate that the
Prince George county tragedy had oc-
Cured just about the time efforts were

But for this latter crime Colonel Vannort
stated about 100 more signatures could
have been obtained. Newcomb. whom
Wright killed, was about sixty years old
The prisoner was defended by II. W.
Viekers and Richard D. Hynson. He shows
no sign Of bravado, and seems to be peni-
tent and resigned. He says he killed "Un-
Gle" Newcomb while drunk-for the first
time in his life-and with no malice to-
ward him. The pistol even was not his
own, but he got it from a companion while
they were on a frolic. The shooting took
place in November, 1897. The prisoner was
tried first in Kent county, when the jury
disagreed. The case was then removed to
Talbot county, where the prisoner was con-
victed in 1885,
The governor said he was under the i'm
preston, after due consideration, that he
would let the law take its course.
George L. Pendleton, colored lawyer
in Annapolis, speaking of the Berry case in
Prince George, said Respectable ne
groes cannot afford for their own reputa-
