DE CAMPOS BECOMES ALARMED.

He Urges1 the Spanlali Government to Grant Hon^eBaleto Cabs an the Only Means to Settle t&e^PrptHJut. .Struggle.

It Is Now Being Considered at Maditid. Latest WaruKews.

•JNEW YOBS,,-NOV,. 7.,—The Paris correspondent o£.^|ie World cables the following authentic translations of copies of official cable dispatches now on file at Madrid: To Minister Ultramar, Madrid:

Referring to your cablegram of Oct. 80, expressing dissatisfaction at the newspaper interview in which-i expressed the opinion that the United States would recognize Cuban belligerency, I reiterate my statement and say further that if this war is riot brought to a speedy termination by granting home rule to Cuba, the United States will surely give aid to the insurgents and espouse their cause sooner or later.

I urge that autonomy be granted to the island, believing this to be the only means of ending the struggle without the loss of many lives and waste of their immense wealth of the island.

MARTINEZ DE CAMPOS. MADRID, NOV. 2.

To Martinez de Campos, Captain General, Havana: The question of autonomy is being considered. but we fear the Cubans will not accept it. ULTRAMAR, Ministero.

Dispatches Sent to Madrid.

MADRID, NOV. 7.—EL Heraldo's Ha

vana

correspondent

says

that the ad

vance of large forces of insurgents under Maximo Gomez into the province of Santa Clara and under Antonio Maceo into the province of Puerto Principe is causing the Spanish officers great anxiety.

Gomez for many months has been inactive, almost no engagement of any yve importance having been reported as being fought by his forces in that time. In the meantime Antonio Maceo has done vigorous work in Santiago de Cuba, and Roloft' has, during the latter part of this period, curried the Spanish forces in Santa Clara and Matatiza-s.

The inactivity of Goiiiefc was the subject of remark by Captain General De Campos in a recently published interview with the representative of the New York World and the Spanish commander gave credit to Maceo for having assumed a leading position among the insurgents.

The present movement seems to indicate that Gomez, who Info been regarded as the ablest and the most experienced military leader that the insurgents liave, is about to abandon his waiting policy and assume the ttggressive.

ST. Loms, Nov. 7—When Judge Phillips of this city recently bought the Paducah, Tennessee and Alabama railroad and the Tennessee Midland, various rumors were set afloat concerning a new consolidation of which these lines were to form a part.

A great Moslem demonstration was announced for last Friday, but the stiltan, fearing the consequence, hotifled the Turkish newspapers of iis Intention to proclaim a constitution. Whereupon the demonstration was countermanded: The sultan then ordered the .papers not to publish the announcement and arrests began to be made. Last evening the police raided the Turkish quarter of Sedik Pasha. A fight ensued and several persons were killed. "A fresh crop of revolutionary placards was scattered broadcast today. Even at the porte's house a letter was found giving the sultan the alternative of abdication or assassination. "Reports are rerching the embassies from all directions of wholesale massacres and the victims now include Greeks and Maronites. "The report is gaining ground, even in diplomatic circles, that the sultan lias ordered the extermination of the Armenian race. The excitement is spreading to Syria, Bagdad and Mosul."

A dispatch to The Daily News from Constantinople fully confirms the foregoing and adds that the British consul telegraphs from Sassoun that the distribution of relief has ceased there and that the missionaries have been obliged to leave. "The embassies do not make any secret of the fact," The Daily News' correspondent adds, "that throughout Armenia fanatical disorder is rampant and that the lives of Christians are in danger. It is asserted that several military students at tSe Pancaldi academy have been arrested as revolutionists.''

The Chronicle's Cohstantinople dispatch contains various similar statements and adds
