LETTER T'ROM MACEQ
Everything Goos on Well with the
Patriots of Cuba.
THEY NEED RIFLES AND CARTRIDGES
CircunniisiiiccH Forced llic General To Bo
sort to Extreme Measures—Spain's Un
fulfilled Promise* Bract Upon Her
self—lnvasion of l'inar del Bio.
New York, April 28.—Senor Pal ma,
of the Cuban junta, has received the
following letter from Gen. Antonio
Maceo: "It is some days since I re
ceived your last letter, and I am wait
ing with anxiety for your next in
order to know from you direct how
things are going. With us every
thing goes on well, and there is no
doubt of our ability to triumph, if by
no other means, by exhausting Spain.
However, as an early termination of
the war is what must be sought for,
and as I read in the papers that it is
discussed whether the United States
should intervene or not, and as I have
no doubt that, impelled by your pa
triotism, you make every effort to ob
tain whatever may be beneficial to
Cuba, I take the liberty of remarking
that the surest way of bringing the
war to a very early termination would
be to place here some 20,000 rifles and
4,000,000 cartridges. If the United
States, observing its own laws, would
not interfere with the shipment of
arms and ammunition to us it would be
a great service rendered to Cuba
without provoking any complications
with Spain, for, as 1 understand it,
these shipments would be perfectly
lega I.
Spain's Many Unfulfilled Promises.
"I have been compelled by circum
stances to resort to extreme measures.
Gen. Wcyler, in his wild desire of gain
ing glory and of obstructing the re
cognition of our belligerency, went in
his proclamations so far as to promise
the planters that they would be able to
grind their sugar cane, while to the
government he gave the assurance that
the elections could be held peaceably,
and to the country at large he de
clared that l'inar del Rio and some
other provinces would soon be paci
fied. Some of the planters, showing
themselves willing to believe that Gen.
Weyler would keep his promise, began
to get ready for grinding the cane.
Under the circumstances, I made up
my mind to invade l'inar del Rio a
second time in order to show that we
are fully able to compel obedience to
the orders of our government. lam
perfectly satisfied with the success
which has attended all my operations
during this second invasion, which
shall last as long as there is
anything to destroy from which Spain
may derive any revenue. As you will
see, the discredit which the proclama
tions of Wcyler were intended to
throw on our revolution has, through
what we have accomplished, fallen on
Spain, whose incapacity to control our
movements has been again plainly
shown."

Philadelphia, April 28. —Since the
i big strike here last December there
| have been many assaults of non-union
! men who took the strikers' places and

immediately, and, as stated above,
I found true bills against the prisoners
; late in the afternoon. They will be
placed on trial to-day. The board of
j directors of the Union Traction com
i pany adopted resolutions declaring
j that the persistent efforts of a few
I men in the employ of the company to
| stir up strife and incite disaffection
among its employes interfered greatly
with the company's business, and in
| strueted the general manager to
promptly discharge any employe found
guilty of such hostility to the com
pany. and under no circumstances to
reinstate such discharged employe into
the company's service.

JUDGMENT TO BE RENDERED TO-DAY
Hammond, Phillip*, Farrar and Col.
Bliodea Admit That Tliey Asked Dr.
JUIIIOMOII To Go to JolinnnoMhurg
—His Action Was a >1 intake.
Pretoria, April 28.—John Hays Ham
mond, the American mining engineer,
and the other members of the Johan
nesburg reform committee who were
absent from the court on Friday, when
pleas of guilty of treason and lese nw
jeste were entered by the others ac
cused, attended court yesterday with
the other defendants. Hammond
pleaded guilty of treason, while Saner
and Simpson pleaded guilty of lese
majeste. J. S. Curtis, an American
engineer, who was also among the
members of the committee who were
arrested, is the only one of the defend
ants who has not pleaded to the charges.
He is at liberty on bail. Counsel
for the defense read a statement to the
court signed by Hammond, Phillips,
Farrar and Col. Rhodes admitting that
they asked Dr. Jameson to go to
Johannesburg, but deploring his mis
take in entering the Transvaal and
marching on Jahnnesburg when there
was no urgent need for his presence.
They maintained that their action
throughout was not hostile to the
government. Judgment will bo ren
dered to-day. The trial of Curtis was
postponed until the next session of
the court.
Not Hostile to the Keptthlic.
The statement read by the counsel
for the defence also enumerated the

to the republic. Regarding Dr. Jame
son's raid, the statement declared that
when the committee learned certain
facts it sent on Dee. 27 two messengers,
Major Heany by rail and Capt. 11 ol
den across country, to forbid Dr. Jame
son to move.
WILL DEMAND TRIAL,
liev. Mr. Kuupp To )k> Heard Before
American Representatives in Turkey.
Constantinople, April 28. —The liev.
George P. Knapp, the American mis
sionary who was recently expelled
from Bitlis on charges of sedition, and
who the Turkish authorities en
deavored to deport from Iskanderoon.
will come to this city to demand a
trial before the representative of the
American government. The United
Press dispatches told of the efforts of
the Turkish officials to get rid of Mr.
Knapp by sending l.iin out o p the coun
try and how these efforts were frus
trated by the prompt and energetic
action of the American charge d'af
faires, who protested to the porte
against the contemplated action and
instructed the commercial agent
at Iskanderoon to cull for an
American warship if it should
be necessary to compel the
authorities to deliver Mr. Knapp to
him. Mr. Knapp. despite the asserva
tions of the officials to the contrary,
was a prisoner during the whole of the
journey from Bitlis. While he was iu
Aleppo the vali of that vilayet tried to
induce him to sign a pledge that lie
would never return tj Bitlis, but Mr.
Knapp peremptorily refused to do so.
No one believes Mr. Knapp is guilty
of the charges made against him. His
expulsion from Bitlis was, no doubt,
part of a prearranged plan to drive all
the missionaries out of tin* country
which lesulted in such an emphatic
protest from Mr. Riddle and the Brit
ish ambassador that the plan was
abandoned.

FRENCH CABINET PROBLEM.
.VI. Meline Asks for Time To Consider lite
flatter of Forming a Ministry.
Paris, April 28. —M. Meline, who
j was asked yesterday by President
j Faure to form a cabinet, replied that
he desired a little time to consider the
matter, and that he would give him a
definite answer to-day. M. Meline is a
{ republican. He is a strong advocate
of protection, his efforts in that direc
tion having caused him to hi' called
j "the French McKinley." In the event
j of his declining it is believed that M.
Dupuy or M. Freycinct will he intrust-
I i'd with the task. The radicals and

I demand a Goblet cabinet.

that such an order was a step toward
an arrest, and that, as a member of
the general court. Representative Mel
lon was constitutionally exempt from
arrest.

thing of ii Tangible Nature.
New Haven, Conn., April 28.—The
local police are still working on the
bomb explosion case, but as yet have
not succeeded in getting anything of a
tangible nature and it is probable that
the matter will die out. Major Albee
is very indignant at statements that
have been made, some of which were to
the effect that the major knew more
about the bomb matter than he cared
to tell. The major declares that he
has nothing to conceal in the matter
and has told all about the explosion
I that he knows.

It'.-form* Are Fromitied.
Palermo, April 28.—Reports from
Paterno, the scene of yesterday's tax
I riots, indicate that the disturbances
; were far more serious than first re
ported. The populace, which consists
chiefly of the lower classes, became
incensed against the imposition of the
communal taxes and made a demon
stration that at one time threatened to
become very serious. The mob at
tacked the house of the syndic, or
■Mayor, and smashed the windows and
j destroyed a number of street lamps.
They then set fire to the office of the
eontroi, where the tax on provisions,
( etc., entering the city is collected,
and to a number of sentry boxes and
they were destroyed. The mob was in
a most dangerous humor, and the gen
darmes were powerless to quell the dis
turbances. The military were called
out, but the rioters stoned the troops,
severely wounding an officer and
three soldiers. An attempt was made
to open the prison and release
the convicts, but this was fortunately
prevented by the troops. The situa ■
lion was becoming extremely critical
when the prefect of Catania arrived on
the scene, He finally, after several
fruitless attempts, got the crowd to
listen to him. He promised that some
of the more burdensome of the griev
ances of the people would be redressed
and by his conciliatory attitude ulti
mately calmed the passions of the mob,
which then dispersed. The maladmin
istration of Sicily lias been a crying
evil for many years and lias led to
several severe riots.
