Palma Says Contributions to the Gu
l,au Cause Were Not 98.OOO.O 900.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Inquiries having
been made concerning the amount of money
received and expended by the Junto In con-
nection with the recent troubles In cuba
and war with Spain, T. Estrada Palma, the
delegate in this country OF the so-caled
Cuban Republic, in an interview, said: THE
idea that upward of 100000 was collected
for the Cuban cause and turned over to me
as the Cuban representative is rubbish. The
estimate that $4S00.0O0 was subscribed by
Cubans in the United States during the last
four years Is preposterous. / don't suppose
II was much more than $4,000, and the total
amount received by me from all sources was
probably less than s1,250.OoO. OF this about
$4,000 was received from Cuban planters
on account of taxes. The Cubans I'm Paris
may have subscribed $4,000. and the private
contributions of Americans and Cubans in
the United States were probably less than
$4,000 / shall explain all of these matters

MANILA, May 26.-The events of the past

larger army here without which. according
10 the best authorities in Manila, il would
be attempting the impossible to expect to es-

they could not spare troops to hold 1t.
The forces commanded by Generals Mac
Arthur and Lawton hold two important lines
of communication and commerce, the rail-
road to San Fernando and the Rio Grande
river. But much OF the country they have
swept. including scores of the smaller towns
and some OF the larger ones. has been left
uncovered, simply for want of men TO hold
them. The insurgents have returned and
are occupying the towns the Americans
abandoned. and are camping in the jungles

They came from the south across the noun
tains. presumably to meet a wagon train
which General Lawton expected along the
road They also planned to capture several
large detachments and were placed In am
bush at diffrent points. They fired from the
jungle at distance of 300 yards and gave
the Americans one of the hardest fights ex-
perienced In the campaign The Filipinos
lost more heavily than the Americans in all
the recent encounters. The insurgent gen.
erals take the loss of arms more to heart
than they do the loss of men.
Foreigners who have arrived here from the
insurgeDt country under the recent order of
expulsion say the cemeteries in all the towns
are filled with fresh graves. A majority of
the Filipino wounded die because the insur-
sent hospitals are Inadequate. medicines are

OF the admiral's arrival in this country until
October has been the impossibility of the
