Simultaneous Attack is to
be Made on Federal Cities

Torreon, Mex, May 6.-Preparations
underway here have made it evident
that the plan of campaign of General
Villa against the federals provides for
q simultaneous attack on Saltillo and
San Luis Potosi. He, himself has de-
cided to lead the attack on Saltillo
while General Maclovio Herrera and
General Benayides will lead strong
force against San Luis Potosi The at
tack of San Luis Potosi will have the
effect of practically isolating the Sal
tillo garrison. Should the federals un-
der General. j. Mas be unable to hold
Sal,illo, nothing would remain for
them but surrender or death by hunger

purchased all of the goods he need

goods and also domestic colored
goods in which foreign dyes are

usual to complete the fall purchas-

Minister Gonzales Tells of Pros
perity of Sugar Planters.

William Gonzales. the American
minister to Cuba, arrived yesterday
on board the steamship Mexico
from Haval.a for his annual leave
of two months. After spending
few days in this city Mr.. Gonzales
will 60 to Washington for a short
time.
''The most interesting thing in
Cuba at the present time," said MIR.
Gonzales, is the wonderful ad-
vance in the price of raw sugar,
which commenced with the an
nouncement of war, and has con-
tinued in steadily upward move.
When | left Havana on Saturday
sugar was selling at between five
and six cents. Unfortunately for
the Cuban growers they sold their
sugar for unusually low prices.
A number of planters and bankers,
among them several Americans, had
poolings of from 5000 10 more
,han 2Ou,0 bags, and these men
have prohtted enormously" "
He told of one planter who had
been losing heavily, and had debts
of over 81, 100000 but fortunately
had not sold his last years crop.
With the present prices the man
sold his sugar and made enough TO
leave him with more than $1,000
900 after paying al! of his debts.
1T is believed in Cuba that high
prices, perhaps not so high as du-
ring the condition of actual war,
but approximatin@ twice the prices
of the past year or two, will be
maintained for the next crop, and
to lesser degree for the two sue
ccedine crops. Such tremendous
profits as this would place Cuba in
an exceedingly strong financial con-
dition in spite of the losses which
are now suffered in the dnlness OF
The tobacco market, which the war
mas caused"
Mr.. Gonzales also spoke of the
general conditions throughout the
island. The days of the revolution
are ended, he sal }. President Men
ocal, who ia a graduate of Cornell,
has the respect Of the entire people
because Of his honesty and patriot
ism. New York Sun, Aug. 10.
