WILL RENEW ATTACK ON LUDLOW.
HAVANA EDITOR ANGRY OVER ALLEGED UTTER
ANCEs OF THE GENERAL.


Havana, Feb. 15.-The principal topic OF CONVEX
sation in political circles to-day is the report of
interview with General Ludlow, printed in New
York, which appears pretty fully in the ''Lucha."
This represents General Ludlow saying that the
inexperience of the Cubans in the management of
public affairs and the fact that great part of
the population Is iliterate, absolutely excludes the
possibility of Cuba being governed by CUbans and
that military rule should continue. General Iud-
lows friends here think 1t impossible that he has
been correctly quoted They point out that he
denied the OF similar expressions when in the
United States before, declaring then that he did
not hold such views. They cannot believe that his
opinions should have undergone such radical
change.
Senior San Miguel says his personal promise TO
General Wood not TO continue attacking General
Ludlow no longer binds him, and that he will go
ing General Ludlow, He declares his Intention to
ascertain whether the libel laws in force in the
United States will protect General Ludlow in his
military capacity there he has been protected

London Feb. 15.--Lord George Hamilton,
Secretary of State for India, speaking at CHS
wick this evening the war, said that one les
to be learned was the fact that volunteer
force could use the long range rife and cannon
and could. in a fortified position hold its own
against any troops This meant that, if volun-
teers were properly reorganized in England
successful invasion of the country would be an
impossibility. 1t also meant that if proper use
were made of the mountains on the frontier OF
India the bigger the hostile army that got
within those mountains the larger would be
the graveyard they would make there.
