Winthrop Ohanlur has returned to New York after his successful expedition to aid General Gomez. He was shot through the right arm when the supplies were loaded, but beyond the bandage he wears there are 110 indications in his appearance of the lively experience through which the Florida and Fanita went at Palo Alto. Mr. Chanler brought additional details concerning the trip. He is anxious to return on another expedition as soon as the government can be persuaded to send one. He believes that General Gomez and his forces will prove most valuable allies and in case of peace would supply the best kind of police for the island until the questions certain to arise have been finally settled. "General Gomez and his men could blockade Havana on the land side without trouble and make the blockade much more complete than it has been yet," he said to a reporter. "The blockade of Havana has been run, and oattle are frequently landed on the small keys near the town. This may be no longer possi ble, since there is not now.^ Spanish fleet for the ships of theVi&vy to watch. Provisions have not been landed at Havana in great quantities, but there has been enough beef taken in to feed the soldiers. If General Gomez were supplied with ammunition and provisions by our government, he would be able to make the blockade absolute. He would do it in the best possible way— by seizing the railroad system and preventing all communication with Laf Tunas, Cienfuegos and other towns. "We found the Cuban Officers with General Gomez to be cultiyated gentlemen. Many of them were in a wretched condition The insurgent army which he has is composed of excellent fighters wlio are willing to meet the Spaniards man to man and could defeat them than. There has been littlo fighting of late, largely because the Spaniards are intrenched in the towns and never come out. The Cubans are not able to take a town, as they are poorly equipped. The blockade has had nearly as bad an effect on them as
011
the Spaniards. Formerly
they were abltf to obtain anything they needed from the Spaniards if they had the money to pay for it. They bought their clothes and provisions until the blockades at Havana and Cienfuegos made that impossible. There has been no meeting between Gomez's forces and the Spanish army partly because the Spanish generals are porfcctly willing to remain in tho towns, sending out an occasional detachment for a skirmish with the Cubans in order that thqjj uen might bo kill.ed and they he enabled tc draw the pay of the soldiers. "For the last threo months General Gomez did no lighting because "his ineiJ had neither ammunition nor provisions. Since we landed supplies for them General Gomez has attacked several towns. When I met General Gomez, he had only live pistol cartridges left, and the rest of hi* men were equipped in about the same fashion. Now they have twe dynamite guns, with J350 30 pound projectiles to fit them, and two full batteries of light fieldpieces, ten 13 inch rifles of regular ordnance patterns and 8,600 cartridges. In addition to this the expedition took down 4,000 Springfields with 954,000 cartridges and 200 Mausers with 200,000 shells. "If tho United States could be persuaded to send down another expedition now, it would make most valuable allies of General Gomez and his men. Ail thoy need are ammunition and provisions to become splendid soldiers. Now they are half starved and naked. "What tLo}" lieeu is regular help, relief at regular periods, and this can best be ren dered to them !y Bending several expeditions and not one. If necessiuj, supplies can bo landed at different points, and the soldiers most in need oi relief can bo sent to get them while the army which has already been provided for is busy in another part of tl»£ £auta Clara province. "The Cuban officers v\ met on General (,'omez's staff are willing to do everything in their power, but any such thing as a^eueral "Pv''-ngef tho insurgents is looked

"I think that General Gomez believes that tho United States merely mean tc drive out the Spaniards and turn the country over to tho Cubans, but that is not the opinion of many other Cuban officers. They believe that the army has simply come there to tako possession oi tiieir country, and they have got that impression from tho treatment they have received. They havo been made tc feel that the Americans regard them even with less favor than the Spaniards. They aro made to foel that the soldiers look upon them as 'dagoes' and class them generally with all dark skinned people. That makes them suspicious of the purpose of the army. Nothing of the kind has happened in the case of the navy, and there has been no complaint from the officers of any lack of bravery or oo-operation among the Cubans. It is ridiculous to say that the Cubans want to loot the towns. General Gomez would never allow anything of the kind. Besides, the towns have been looted by the Spaniards already. The Cubans feel as all men would who are returning to their own homes, from which they have been driven out."— N«w York San.

CUBANS AS SOLDIERS
KENNETT F. HARRIS DESCRIBES THE INSURGENT RANK AND FILE.
General Shaffer's Men Upward Tliein With
Good Sutured Contempt, but They Have
Their Good Point* Cuban* Admire
AiiiiTlrr.ns Slioes Are a Sign of Rank.
For the Cuban insurgent *,ho American private soldier lias, generally speaking, a sort of good natural contempt. He considers him a loafer and has not a
high opinion of his fighting ability, al-
a pretty good bushwhacker.'' In this, of course, ho has been judging the Cuban by a somewhat superficial observation. Ho has seen the tattered patriots swinging in their hammocks by the roadside, regarding the marching regiments and trains of artillery as they passed with indifferent, lackluster eyes, and he has conoluded that green cocoanuts and coffee comprise their highest ideal and sole ambition.
On the other hand, the Cuban has a profound admiration for the Americanos. He shows this by emulating their drill and by the air of pride with which he wears a discarded soldier's blouse. He has learned to say "good morning" and "hard tack" and is beginning to understand that a 50 cent piece is worth more than three niokels. He is willing at any time to whip out bis machete and knock off the top of a cocoanut for one of his deliverers from Spanish misrule, and he will climb a palm and throw the nuts down for a consideration.
It would be unfair and untrue, however, to say that the Cubans are ungrateful for the intervention of the Americans. Some striking instances to the contrary have come under my notice within the last few days. A Cuban muleteer recently brought up a load 1 provisions for our party from Siboney, nine miles distant from El Paso, and absolutely—almost indignantly—refused to accept payment for the service. Another sent word to a man who had, as he supposed, hired his mule that he would like to have the animal back, for his family were suffering hunger and he had to work for them. He was offered money, but refused to take it, saying, "I would not be a good Cuban if I should sell my help to you, but let me have my mule if you can spare him.''
Again, a ragged young negro came into camp tho other morning with a basket of ripe mangoes, which he ottered to a group of soldiers. One of them took a mango and held out a nickel. It was a beautiful thing to see the courteous smile with which the young gentleman waved aside the proffered coin. "It is my gift, sen or," he said. "It is very little, but it is my gift, and I hopo you will take some." And the eoldior did.
On the whole the Cuban is not a bad fellow. He is amiable if a trifle bloodthirsty, and obliging, although afflicted to a great extent with tho "manaua" habit. The number of wounded insurgents that have been brought in is oi itself proof that thoy will fight, and it seems impossible that they would choose the life of constant privation and danger they now do for the mere pleasure of hacking an occasional Spaniard tc pieces. They must necessarily be actuated by motives of patriotism.
When wo were 011 board the Yucatan, a visiting naval officer from Sampson's fleet was asked what the Cubans looked like and how they were armed. His reply was, "They look like tlm 1.-vil, aud they are armed with anything they can get. It was a sufficiently accurate description. Nearly all of the insurgents of Santiago de Cuba aro negroes, with perhaps a slight infusion of Spanish blood. The moro Spanish blood a man has the higher as a general thing is his rank, though this is indicated to a great extent by the dress of tho oiiieer and his degree of cleanliness. Casti llo's uniforms aro washed qui to frequently, am as he shaves daily he presents a verj strong contrast to most of his command.
No one under tho rank of lieutenant wears shoos. A sort of canvas moccasin with a rope sole is worn by the inferoi -•Hdnrs and stune of tho men. but thm
aro getting scarce. oi"ty per cent of tin men are barefooted, and tho rohf fasten rawhide sandals on their feet with $ thong around the great toe in tho antique fashion Their trousers are ol some cotton material, originally white, and open to ventilation by every breeze that blows. Usually a fringed remnanl of undershirt and a roughly plaited hal of straw complete the costume, bui many of them march naked to the waist.
As for arms, every man has his machete, which ranks next in general utility to the hairpin, and anything in th way of a gun that will explode powdei and carry ball. It has been a perpetual wonder to every one who has seer theso troops or bands how and by whai system they obtain ammunition foi thoir pieces. They have old Spring '-^s, muzzle loading rifles, fired with ion caps Winchesters, Reining perctnv »inis—almost everything but tons, Mat-..
