Gen. Gomez Writes. That Weyler’s Successor Will Need 200,000 . Troops and $100,000,000. o e L AN

SPANIARDS AFRAID OF DYNAMITE GUN.

New Minister for the Colonies An- - nounces That Reforms Will Be - Immediately Anstituted — Weyler Urged to Aid the New Government —Dispatch from Woodford. ; /

- New York, Oct. 6. — Tomas Estrada ‘Palma, chief of the €uban junta, has just received a letter from Gen. Gomez; commander in chief of the Cuban army. “Weyler's successor in Cuba,” writes the general, “in order to cope with the rebellion at its present standing, ‘will be “obliged to demand 200,000 troops and $lOO,000,000 and. even then he will fail as ignominiously as Weyler has fdiled. . “Our. men were never imbued with a more hopeful spirit than they are at present. The campaign in Las Villas has been an utter failure. The Spanish soldiers avoided us at every possiblé opportunity. This served to encourage our men. I am glad to say that we are all confident of ultimate success. If Weyler: be recalled his successor here, whoever he may be, will be surprised to-see the spirit of vietory which animates the brave Cuban troops. We cannot be subdued and no one knows this better than Weyler.” . ey ;‘Won by a Dynamite Gun. With the Gomez letter was one from Gen. Calixto Garcia, who commands the troops in the eastern provinces. It gave some particulars'concerning the capture of Las Tunis on August 30 last. “The dynamite gun which you sent us,” writes Gen. Garcia, ‘‘played an important part in the capture of Las Tunis. Its destructive shells spread terror through the Spanish troops. -We besieged it for three days, wheggit finally surrendered. We found many of the troops in.a terrible condition. -At least 100 men fell victims to the dynamite shélls, a good many more being badly - wourtided. The rest of the 500 men were in an utterly demoralized condition when the:Spanish flag was'-hauled down. Our losses numbered 60 men. All the sick and wounded Spanigrds were sent to hospitals and given. every possible attention, The prisoners were all released. ; “If we had a few more dynamite guns, we should soon end the war. Reports of its destructive work here have spread all through Cuba .and have disheartened the Bganish soldiers.” ) : Wiil Apply Reforms at Once. Madrid, Oct. 6. — Senor Moret, the minister for the colonies, it is semiofficially announced, has decided to apply as soon as possible ail the measures which _are comprised in.the programme of the liberals regarding the Antilles, including all that is necessary for the application of autonemy for Cuba in the form permitted by the circumstances. e

It is:reported here that the United States minister, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, left 'at-the foreign office Monday an -official note from Secretary Sherman. . Rodi

Premier Sagasta, in an interview, is quoted as saying that most important questions are before the cabinet ministers, who have a thorough knowledge of the financial position of Spain and ‘poésess‘ accurate details of. the war situation in Cuba and in, the Philippine islands., - . The government, Senor Sagasta added, will carry out its political and military programme with firmness and sagacity. - :

When the premier was-questioned regarding the future of Capt. Gen: Weyler, he said he supposed Weyler avould resign, adding that if he did not do 80 he would be recalled. In conclusion Senor Sagasta said that the most prompt action would be taken in the Philippine islands, where the situation, he' explained, admitted of no delay. ' Asks Weyler to Stay at His Post. Havana, Oct. 6. — The retiring minister for the colonies, Senor Castallanos, sent an official cable message Monday to Capt. Gen. Weyler, notifying him of the formation of the new eabinet under the presidency of Senor Sagasta, and bidding farewell to the Spanish authorities, clergy, army, volunteers and loyal inhabitants of Cuba. Senor Castallanos also requested.the authorities and all others depending upon the new ministry to.continue at their posts and to do everything possible to be of service to the new government of Spain. Dispatch from Minister Woodford. Wasl}i.ng-ton, Oct. 6. — Minister Woodford hds been heard from at last by the state department. A &ablegram has been received from him dated Madrid, 7:30 Monday evening, making the following afmouncement of the appointment of such officers of the new Spanish cabinet as may have to do with the policy of the new government: =~ “New ministry formed; Sagasta, president; Moret, minister of colonies. _ (Signed) - S W OODFORD.” - Cabinet Meeting. X Washington, Oct. 6. — The cabinef at its meeting Tuesday took no action of importance. The Spanish-Cuban situation was considered in a desultory way in connection with a cablegram read from Minister Woodford announcing the formation of the new Sagasta cabinet. The cablegram, however, ¢&ontained no new information and the discussion was largely in the nature of comment and an exchange’of views as to the effect of the change of governmentin Spain on the Cuban situation. Some of the time of the meeting was devoted to suggestions as to policies to be advocated in the annual reports of the several cabinet officers.

STRIKING MINERS ARE QUIET.

Bray, Gov, Tanner’s representative, the former agreed not to molest the men who wanted to work., No further steps will be taken by the strikers until James Carson, state president of the Miners’ union, shall arrive. Notwithstanding the decision of. the striking miners who'are encamped south of the town, met to molest the men, none of the latter have entered the pits. | The sheriff is prepared for any emergency. S Another story was to the effect that Sheriff Burke refused a request of the men for a guard to escort them to the mines and consequently they declined tu go to work, fearing an attack on;the part of the strikers. ¢ - A ¢ . C. V. Bartlett, a representative of the Madison Coal company, said that the company will not make any further attempt to operate its mine until the sheriff provides guards for its men.

- . MUST PAY DUTY. Tapioca Flour Classed as Starch by Recent Decision. , San Francisco, Oct. 6.—The United States circuit court of appeals has handed down a decision of great importance, inasmgch as by it the revenues of the government will be increased many ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars per annum. . The ease was to determine the disputed point as to whether tapioca flour should be admitted free of duty as such under the McKinley bill or whether it should be required to pay a duty of two cents per pound as starch. This flour is used almost exclusively in all the Chinese laundries in the United States, 'because of its cheapness as starch, and it has been the most formidable obstacle to the starch manufacturing industry in the United States. By the decision of the courtthat it must pay a duty, that obstacle will be removed. YA
