CUBANS SURE OF SUCCESS Senor Gonzalo de Quesada, secretary of the-delegation which represents the Cuban republic in this city, was seen at his rooms in the Raleigh this morning by a Star re- Porter and interrogated on the subject of the war in Cuba and the developments of the recent past in that connection. He had just finished the perusal of a batch of European newspapers and his correspond- ence. “I see that the Bank of France and the Low Countries has refused to lend Spain any more money, in addition to the $10,000,000 already advanced,” said Senor Quesada, “‘and consequently Spain has been compelled to call on her own people and to sell or mortgage so-called Cuban securities. What the result of this demand has been ig still unknown, but when the depressed condition of affairs in Spain is considered I may be pardoned for doubting its success. The worst part of the situation for Spain is that on May 8 she will have to pay $5,000,- €00 to the Bank of France and the Low Countries, and in June the remaining $5,- 000,000 of the $10,000,000 loan I have alluded to or forfeit the securities she deposited to secure that loan. “The public in Spain is in a state of fer- ment and agitation over the manner in which the war is being conducted,” he con- tinued. “Spanish newspapers, which have recently arrived, show general dissatisfac- tion existing over the failure of Weyler to carry out the expectations of the people Whose clamor caused the recall of Martinez Campos, and led to Weyler’s appointment. The cry of the papers is that the war must be brought to an end shortly, no matter what the cost may be. Weyler’s Unfaliilled Promises. “Weyler promised when he left Spain to clean out the insurgents from the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas by the Ist of March, 1896. Some time after his arrival in Cuba he went further, and de- clared that by the 15th of March sugar would be being ground in those three Provinces, and so sure was he of this that he announced his intention of moving his headquarters to Matanzas. i “Today is the Gth of April,” continued Seno Quesada with a smile, “and Gen. Maceo 1s as strong as ever in Pinar del Rio, where the Spanish have claimed to have had him trapped many times. Maceo enters or leaves the province as he sees fit. When he leaves we are told with great ac- claim by the press censor in Havana that he has been dfiven out; when he returns we are told by the same authority that he 4s trapped. The insurgents are also all over the provinces of Havana and Matanzas, and not a plantation is grinding sugar. Even the Spanish authorities have permit- ted the news to be sent out of the attacks on and the destruction of towns within twelve miles of the city of Havana itself. Gomez a Lively Corpse. “Gen. Gomez was reported a few days ago as being dead and buried, the name of the place where his demise occurred even be- ing given. In this morning’s dispatches from Havana we hear he is in Santa Clara, in the very heart of the island, occupying a camp six miles long. Such a remarkable case of resurrection probably has never been chronicled in civilized annals before. “Oh, it is most amusing; these mixed-up dispatches we are treated to from Havana. Every day there are from 300 to 1,000 in- surgents killed, with occasionally a wound- ed mule on the Spanish side, according to the official emanations from Havana given out here by the Spanish minister. Still, in spite of ‘all this enormous slaughter and continued overwhelming victories on the part of the Spanish forces, the revolution- ists continue to hold more than three- fourths of the island under absolute au- thority; with the officials in charge of the prefectures loyal to the Cuban republic and the property owners, even in the cities held by the Spaniards themselves, paying their taxes to the Cuban collectors. This is the condition in the provinces of Puerto Prin- cipe and Santiago de Cuba, to which prov- inces, by the way, the ten-years’ war was almost wholly confined. The Spanish troops now in these prov- inces are virtually prisoners of war in the cities, and it is not strange, therefore, that the official news promulgators in Havana and their agency at the Spanish legation here never breathe a word about slaugh- ters and victories in Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba. Arms and Ammunition Easy to Land. “There is no trouble whatever in landing arms and ammunition an@ medical stores on the Cuban coast when once the ves- sels containing them get beyond the risk of illegal detention by the United States au- thorities,” said Quesada. “During the last three weeks Gen. Coldazo, Major Pena and Gen. Calixto Garcia, whom the Spanish minister vigorously denied having landed, reached Cuba, landing at three separate HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TO BE GIVEN AWAY IN ARTICLES OF REAL ALUE THE USI oF MAIL POUCH “CHEWING AND SMOKING” - (The Only ANTI-NERVOUS and ANTI-DYSPEPTIC) TOBACCO.

Besides this, In the same time, four other vessels took thousands of guns and macheies and countless cart- ridges safely to Cuba, and these stores are now in the hands of the revolutionists. This is the way we answer Gen. Weyler’s proclamations. He may ‘continue his ex- alted course of butchering prisoners in the plaza of the Morro, and directing his brave legions to massacre defenseless women ani old and decrepit men, but he dares not show his nose outside of Havana. Matan- zas is two hours from Havana by railroad, and he hasn’t moved his headquarters there et. if “Why did I say we had no trouble in land- ing stores and ammunition? Why, my dear sir, the Spanish gunboats are like the Span- ish general in chief—they take good care to stay within the safe protection of a fortified port. The Coming Elections. “Gen. Weyler’s troubles, however, are not confined to the insurgents, nor to the sub- ordinate Spanish generals, of whom no less than fifty have left the island in disgust since the beginning of the war. The farce of holding an_election in time of war and when all the island is under martial law will be enacted on the 12th of April. Only the rabid Spanish population will take part in this election. The reform party and the home rule party have both decided to have nothing to do with it. We have just re- ceived the declarations of these parties to this effect. The home rule party declare that the ‘perturbation’ now in progress in the island has rot lessened in extent and importance, and that therefore they de- clare against holding elections at a time when the conditions make it impossible to faithfully express the opinion of the elec- toral body. ‘his is from the home rule central committee. Of course, the Amer- ican people may expect to hear after the election a resounding declaration from Gen. Wevler to the effect that the Cuban people are unanimous in favor of Spain, but I hardly think any intelligent person will place any reliance in such representations. Sure of Ultimate Success. “There has been no diminution in the patriotism and loyalty to our cause on the part of any of our people,” said Quesada, proudly, in conclusion. “We are just as certain now as it is possible for men to be of the ultimate success of our efforts. Spain stands aghast at our resources. While she is pleading with all her sisters in the family of nations for money and begging on her knees at the doors of every European pawnshop, the poor Cubans are making no requests, save those of a moral character. All we ask is fair treatment, an honorabie and equitable recognition of our rights as men who are struggling for the precious boon of self-government. When Spain imagines we have exhausted all our finances, we confront her with the sub- stantial proofs of a replenished treasury.” oe Marriage Licens: Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Louis Marceau and Jeanne Danbreuet, both of Richmond, Va.; Joseph Austin and Sarah Hurdle, both of Forrest- ville, Md.; Gottlieb Rambold and Bernar- dine M.

Plans Mae by the Mnnagers of the Workingmen’s Library — The Question of Finances. The managers of the Workingmen’s Li- brary and Bureau of Labor have inaug- urated a movement having for its object the purchase of a building in a central location to be used as a Workingmen’s In- stitute, and conducted on the lines of the Polytechnic Institute in London. For this Purpose they are endeavoring to secure as a nucleus 8,000 pledges of $1 each, the money to be paid to the treasurer of the library at such time as may be convenient to the subscriber on or previous to next Labor day. It is designed that the institute shall be to the workingmen of the District what the Young Men's Christian Association is to its members, the building to comprise auditorium, class rooms, gymnasium, etc. It is estimated that the various labor or- ganizations of tne District pay annually for rent of meeting places $8,000, and it is the desire of those who have this move- ment in hand that at least some portion of that amount shail find its way back into the pockets of the labor people. It is b lieved that if a suitable building can be se- cured most of the assemblies will rent rooms for meeting purposes in it. ‘The paper hangers have already respond- ed favorably to the call, and it is confidently expected that many others will speedily foi- rewithin th thin the past three months there has been a marked improvement in the affairs of the library. The receipts, which in Jan- uary had fallen to $50, have increased 125 ber cent, and the library has now over 300 volumes. Many of these are regarded as very valuable. Among those most inquired after by visitors are the works of Shakes- Peare, Gibbons, Josephus, Swendenborg and some bound volumes of the Scientific Amer- ican. There is a profusion of standard mag- azines, and some games have also been pro- vided for the entertainment of visitors, of ert there is an average of about thirty The United States government has x presented the library with an extremely. val uable map, which is hung on the wall, showing the very small portion of territory occupied by the original thirteen states and the various additions madé since the begin- ning of the century, by..purchase or cession from Spain, France, Mexico'and Russia.

The Garbagé-Fiites. Not satisfied with having tiad a reduction made by tho Commissioners in the matter of fines imposed for bad service, the con- tractor for the removal of garbage is seck- ing further reliet by having all fines im- posed wiped out. His claim, it is under- stood, is based upon the fact that since the fines were imposed, during the early part of his contract, there have been few com- plaints ang no fines imposed. Therefore, presuming that the service at that time Was not completely systematized, he thinks the Commissioners should overlook the de- ‘Mnquencies that are always bound to occur in the introduction of a new system, and reimburse him for the amount withheld. Today was set aside for a conference with the Commissioners mn’ the matter, ‘but owing to sickness in the family of the con- tractor the hearing was postponed until some future time. 6, 1896— A. P. A. IN: POLITICS An Uahirws Quantity, Making Pre- BRADLEY SAID 10 SEEK 1S SUPPORT Demands That May Be Made on National Conventions. THE COMING MEETING HERE The American Protective Association is an unknown quantity which is beginning to figure extensively in all predictions. It is coming to the front rapidly, and seems to be carrying out its announced program to take part extensively in the campaign. The information from Kentucky is that Gov. Bradley openly attended a meeting cf an A. P. A. council at Lexington on Saturday night, and that he is seeking the support of the order in the presidential race. He is a member of the order. The story, however, is that the A. P. A.’s are divided between Bradley and McKinley, and do not know which to concentrate upon. The A, P. A. men claim that they defeated the democrats in Kentucky last year and elected Bradley governor. The platform adopted by the Massachu- setts republican convention contained some features which have been construed as meaning an anchor cast to windward to catch the vote of the order. The politicians are now beginning to won- der whether some of the presidential can- didates fear this secret order with its un- known strength, and whether they are not dickering for its support. Looking ahead the politicians see this new Issue. If the A. P. A. goes to the national conventions, as it claims it will do, and demands certain things these demands will have to be met. They will have to be passed upon in such & way, itis said, as to raise a new issue. Will It Be Condemnedt It is felt that one or the other of the great parties may recognize the order and the other oppose it. Of course, it may be con- demned by both parties, or quietly approved by both. Which is most likely to give a willing ear to the demands made by the order? So far there has been so little discussion of the subject that conjectures cannot be made. Developments recently seem to indicate that McKinley is the fa- vorite of the order among the repubiican candidates. At a Massachusetts congres- sional convention the other day a few dele- gates who were A. P. A. men attempted to have the delegates to the national conven- tion instructed for McKinley. The Ken- tucky matter follows. “Will the democratic convention sit down on the A. P. A.?” was the question which a Star reporter asked a southern Congress- man, who will be a delegate to the national convention. “I cannot tell you what the convention will do,” he answered, “‘but I know what a number of delegates will do. We will op- ese any demand of the order, and try to Raye resolutions adopted setting forth the party’s opposition to it. We will not oppose the order because we believe its platform is sc much wrong, but because the order is a secret political institution. The democratic party has always opposed secret political societies, and will continue to do so. It is against our principles. The time is now propitious to put ourselves on record. I do not suppose that the democratic party has ever been in favor of sectarian appropria- tions of public money any more than the republican party, but democracy means an open and square fight, in which every man knows his opponent, and knows what to expect of him in a fight.” = Members of the A. P. A. declare that the order, which, they claim, has over 3,500,000 members, will stand solidly with the party which recognizes its platform, and pledges itself to support what the order asks. Bradicy and the A. P. A. A special to the Philadelphia Times today fiom Louisville says: Governor Bradley of Kentucky seens to be the A. P. A. candidate for President rather than a candidate on the republican ticket. A local paper today publishes the facts concerning his initiation into the order. It took place at the Victoria Hotel in Louis- ville, September 28 last, by special dispensa- tion of State President Sapp. The initiation was done secretly aria just before the elec- tion, but in time to ne communicated to all A. P. A. inembers in Kentucky, who voted for Bradley, and which probably acvounts for his large majority over the number of registered republicans in the state. Bradley does not deny that he is an A. P. A., and his addresses at the councils in the order are further evidence of this fact. Lin- ton of Michigan being cut ot the race for President, il is stated that the A. P. A. has united upon Bradley, and will attempt to force his nomination at the St, Louis con- vention. Col. Bradley has been indorsed by the supreme advisory board of the A. P. A., this action having been taken, it is sald, at the recent meeting in Washington. He was then urged not to withdraw from the race under any circumstances, and the telegram from the advisory board to Bradley is said to have also stated that McKinley had Joined the Ancient Order of Hibernians, The Supreme Council Meeting. A Detroit dispatch says: W. H. J. Tray- nor, supreme president of the American Protective Association, has issued a cir- cular to the order at large upon the po- litical situation. President Traynor urg2s varlous state councils to send their rep- resentatives to the Supreme Council, which meets next month at Washington, pledged to such reforms as the subordinate mem- bers of the order most desire, thus avoid- ing the darger of strong partisans using the order for their own erds. ——-e+____.

There he attended the little dis- trict “knowledge box” and acquired his three R's. “We studied a little geography,” he said, “and the map then showed that the most of the lands west of the Mississippi river were occupied by Indian tribes. The first lessons were about the state of Muine, and we learned that Maine was the largest of the New England states. Since then we have learned that she is not only the largest New England state, but in some respects is the largest in the United States. Besides her timber resources, of which we learned, she has ‘the timber of which statesmen are made. Her sons have helped to wipe the term ‘great desert’ from the map, and build up states and furnish judges, governors, Congressmen and much of the business en- terprise. “What has become of the sailors of Maine?” he asked. They have gone, and her ships, too. When the gallant Melville buried the remains of Capt. De Long and the oth- ers of the ill-fated Jeannette expedition, a cross had been erected of the spars from the wreck of an unknown Maine brig. “Maine,” he said, “is already known among states as the mother of brainy men, and we confidently hope and expect that in the near future, like the Old Dominion, she will gain the proud title of ‘Mother of Pres- idents.’ ” Other remarks were made by Col. Thomas S. Hopkins and Gen. Charles H. Smith, who went out with the first Maine cavalry and became its second colonel. — Has Disappeared. ‘The police have been requested to look- out for Florenee Coleman, colored, nineteen ears old, who disappeared from her home, in ‘Temperance alley, last Thursday.
