MANNIX’S STORY As stated In Monday’s Star, I began to realize that to obtain a correct and intelll- gent view of the entire situation there were other requisites besides being merely out- side the city of Havana. To be sure, when with the Spanish columns I was allowed to see everything and know everything that was going on. The trouble came when my letters or telegrams were ready for trans- mittal. Then were they examined by the superior officers of the column, and, in the Gen. Weyler, majority of instances, withheld by them. On numerous occasions I was informed that iy letters had gone with the official mail, but such I have fafled to find a trace of since. While in Havana I became acquainted with several persons connected with the revolutionary movement. They were en- gaged in mercantile pursuits in the city, and were regarded by the government as firm supporters of the crown. One of them, a little man, with fierce mustache and goatee, said to me one day: “I know you are an American, and being such you are in sympathy with the rebels, for you Americans always have kindly feel- ings for those who are struggling for liber- ty. Therefore, I will put you in the way of obtaining Cuban passports that you may visit Gen, Gomez and write the true condi- tion of affairs to the American people.” And so, after a few days, another man ceme to my hotel. He, teo, had a mustache and goatee, and even more fierce than the other mentioned. He explained -how he had been sent to see me and how he could be relied upon thoroughly. Then he went on to tell also that he was a plantation own- er, and the government had ordered him to proceed with the grinding of cane. Gen. Gomez, he said, had forbidden him to grind, and he would not make an attempt, even though the Spanish authorities might send kim to Africa, or the Isle of Pines. Then in a tragic manner he told of the years he had spent in the former place. How he was taken one night from his Ha- vana home, taken aboard a ship in the har- Dor, chained in somé dark apartment of the vessel with a large number of other priz- oners, and carried over the sca he knew not whither. “I was not a rebel then,” said the little man, “but when I saw the full iniquity of Spain's rule in Cuba; when I saw that she would deliberately serd into exile innocent men,without even the semblance of a trial, I swcre to heaven should I ever return to my home and family I should join the rev- olutionary party, ard remain with it until Cuba was free or myself dead.” Then the little man gave several quick glances toward the dcor of my room, walked to the entrance and looked out up- on the bay, and, returning to my side, said, in a whisper: “Here are the passports from Gen. Gomez. Keep them well hidden, for the Spanish government will not spare you should these papers be found upon ycur person. If you go tomorrew you will find Gomez near Ca- imito, at the edge of the Cienaga.” Being in possession of the passports, and learning almost the exact whereabouts of Gomez, I determined to ride through the lines, If possible, on the following day and Interview the Cuban commander. It was on this trip that I first had opportunity of seeing a large force of the rebels in the fiel€, and I returned to Havana several days after with a fur ‘erent impression of them. I found them a comparutively well-organ- ized and disciplined force. Physically, they averaged much better than the soldiers of Spain. Mentally, there could be no com- parison in justice to the Cubans. The first division I encountered about twenty miles from the city. It numbered somewhere in the vicinity of 3,000, and was under command of Gen. Quintin Banderas. ! The latter is a man of splendid physical build, rather gruff in his manner at first sight, and as black as the ace of spades. He was marching his men in detachments, he said, just to keep a half dozen large Spanish columns worrying. Banderas is one of the truest patriots and best fighters of Cuba. He is sixty-five years of age, but is almost as active as when, nearly a de- cade ago, he was sent to the Spanish prison at Ceuta, Africa, to serve out a life sen- tence for being a rebel. Talked With Gen. Gomez. Later that same day I first saw and talked with Geh. Gomez. He was then in persenal command of about 4,000 cavalry. His entire command was white. The men were fairly well armed with carbines and | | | | machetes. Banderas’ force was almost wholly composed of negroes, stout, athletic fellows, who were apparently happy, de- spite the fact that a large majority were without shoes. I learned that many of them had never worn shoes of any descrip- tion, and would scout the idea of having any. There was no lawlessness apparent, and as I mentally compared these rebel troops with the forces of Spain I said, “The Cubans will win.” Gen. Gomez impressed me as a man of brains and wonderful energetic power. His theughts came rapidly, and he spoke with easy clearness d «mphasis. He did not appear narrow-mi 4, but discussed all the important phases’ of the revolution with a frankness that was almost surpris- ing. ‘ re events have proven, Gi Gomez is at once one of the mest brilliant and astute military men of the ion. With an inferior force, in point of number, and a force poorly armed in comparison to that of the enemy, he marched from the ex- treme eastern end of Cuba to the very gate of Havana, the lock of which he elm picked with the point of the machete. K has outwitted Spain’s greatest general, and he will whip Spain’s greatest butcher. Go- mez is a pigmy in physique, but a giant in mental force and military ability. 1 am not prepared to say that Gen. Gomez is personally in favor of the annexation of Cuba to the United States, although he is really the only Cuban leader of importance who has not expressed himself on that point. When I questioned him regarding the mat- ter he simply said he did not care to discuss it just then. I learned from other sources, which I have reason to consider as being very reliable, that Gen. Gomez has dreams of his own with reference to Cuba's future. He does not aspire to the presidency of the island, when indepeadence is secured, but will re- tire to his home in Santo Domingo, where his family now reside. President republic will be Gen. Antonio Maceo. The dream of Gen. Gomez is f riofa to in- Hayti, Porto with a central Could this scheme issue then he idency of the united republic of the West Indies, clude 7 Cuba, Santo Domi and possibly Jamai pnt at Havana. Lut the great hoy freeing of Cuba. can sea Cuba Mherated and independent I shall die happil Shortly before I saw Gen. Gomez h forces had severed the international Ine, running overland between Havan correspondence between the gov- its at Washington and Cara: The act was called to the attention of Gomez, 1 he Was reminded that just at that time he should not interfere with communication between the United States and Venezuela. To this he replied: “Oh, I am sorry; but perhaps the government at Washington will row realize that a war really exists in Cuba." Should Be Recognized as Belligerents At the same time, speaking to me regard- ing the attitude of the United States in the matter of belligerency, Gomez said: “I ad- mire and love the American republic, but it is impossible for me to understand why we should not be recognized as belligerents. We suffer greater wrongs than did the early American colonists, who threw off the yoke of Great Britain, and we have more troops in the field than were ever gathered together by the thirteen states, yet the American government declines to share with the patriots now fighting the honor and glory of freeing Cuba. We have taken the words of Patrick Henry as our motto, and will have ‘liberty or death.’ ” I can imagine the bright smile that will chase over his little bronzed face when he hears of the late action of Congress on that question that worried him so much. Clear- er than ever will he see the star of Cuban liberty rising over the island. On only one occasion during my exper- ience in Cuba did I believe, even for a few moments, that my gentle spirit wasto be wafted to other shores. This was on my trip from Havana to see Gen. Gomez. It was just beyond Bejucal, about twenty miles from Havana, when I was warned by Insurgents Entering a Town. a man who came out of a house that a party of plateados were up the road half a mile away. He said he expected they would come and attack his house and kill his wife and five daughters, to say nothing of himself. I was not anxious to proceed further, and, having passed several lines of pickets, did not care to return to Havana without accomplishing my mission. I therefore dismounted and entered the house. There was not another habitation within several miles. The fellow, who was a Spaniard, had made no preparations for a defonse, even though he believed the bush- whackers fully intended to demolish himself and his belongings. I told him he was a shiftless, cowardly, good-for-nothing fel- low, but I did not let him know that fear Ndeal almost shaking the spurs off my own pcots. However, the plateados appeared later in the thin cane about 200 yards from the house. They were dragging a white man alcng, and when they reached a point about 100 yards aw: directly in front of the house, they killed him with stones and robbed him of hic clothes. The bloody deed Mnished, they stood and gazed fn our direc- tion, and apparently discussing the advis- ability of making an attack. The prayers I uttered that minute seemed to have im- mediate effect, for the murderous negroes went away in the direction from which they came. I did not remain long in that vicinity, and I remember little of the geography of the country through which J passed in the nex: six miles. Not a man, woman or child was teen, although there were in that vicinity three or four large Spanish garrisons. Bejucal itself was attacked by the rebels a few days before, and the handsome church was almost tctally ruined. But the rebels had gone again like the wind, and no one knew whither. The Attack on Guira. At Guira, early that same day, Gomez tjade an attack upon the town, which was defended by 200 volunteers, who made a stout resistance to the entry of the rebel forces. Gomez advanced with 1,400 in- fantry. His cavalry, left at a distance of three miles, rede to the other side of the and burned two ish troops coming from another direction, le did not arswer them, but reaching a ve, had them lined up before his entire . “We will not waste good ammuni- tion upon them,” said Gomez, and then turning to one of his aids, he ordered up a thousand cavalrymen with drawn ma- chetes. The prisoners trembled, and the priest shed tears and prayed. The rebel horsemen were ready and awaiting an order to machete the entire band. when Gomez rode out before the prisoners. Ad- dressing them, he said: “You heard me fay a few minutes ago that we would not waste ammunition upon you, and you were cowardly enough to believe that you would all be put to the machete. But I wish to inform you that we will not du!l our Weapons. As Cubans, fighting under the flag of the oppressors of our country, you deserve death, each and every one of you, the priest not excepted. But you will not be harmed. Go again to your homes— Martinez Campos has murdered hundreds of our soldiers, but under the flag of Cuban liberty barbarous acts will not be perpetrated.” That Gomez did not mean what he said with reference to Gen. Campos is proven by the fact that In my inte ‘w several hours later, he told how he loved and ad- mired the grand old Spanish commander. WILLIAM FRANCIS MANNIX. —_— CUBA’S UNKNOWN FRE FE ND.

I realize how difficult it to step into the place made vacant by such a man as Mr, Pugh, and I hesitated on this accouat. I knew of his work and of his acquaintance and wonderful powers for progression, and I realized that it would be doubly difficult for a stranger to take it up. Then I was promiseg the support of the officers and Members, and with that almost any one ought to succeed. Success will not come unless we work together and be unremit- <3 ting. I do not ask you to work ail the time, but to use your influence and to speak for the association when opportunity af- fords. With that it will be easy to get a building such as we have view. We must go forward, and in doing so 1 trust to you to assist me.” After solos by Miss Grace Altschu an@ Miss Dorothy Houchen, a number of the clergymen present, each on his own behalf and for his church and congregation, gave briefly their greetings and assurances of their support and co-operation. The formal exercises being complet: members of the audience pressed forward to shake hands with Mr. Multer, President Williamsor making the introduction: ae THE ADVISORY BOARD'S REPORT, Go to A. P. A. Cor Very Few Days. The advisory board of the American Pro- tective Association is expected to make known within a few days its report on the republican presidential candidates. The re- port may be now in the mails on its way to the various state councils and officers. Iz is learned that after adjourning its meeting here and going to New York, the beard also held a meeting in Boston and ene in Cincinnati. The inference is that the Cincinnat! meeting was to ascertain scme things about Mcikinley which could not be picked up out p of Ohio. The w York, Boston and Cincinnati papers seem to have been left out in the cold in getting the news about what was done. One fact has positively been learned. The board has prepared its report. Several of the presidential candidates are favorably spoken of, several are condemned as being: unworthy of the support of the members, and as to the others the report is non-com- mittal. A prominent A. P. A. man, talking to a Star reporter, said: “The board ought to huve done its work ninety days ago. It has acted so late as to render it impractica~ ble for the order to make a fight in any of the state and congressional conventions.” Asked if the advisory board would also pass Judgment upon the democratic candi- dates for the presidential nomination, the gentleman answered in the aflirmative. He said the board would meet for this purpose 80 soon as it was known what candidates were in the race for the democratic nomi- nation. The board will’also pass upon pop- ulist and silver candidates. eS Sult for Libel.
