His name had been presented to the president by Senators Mcl’hersqn nnd Smith, and he knew nothing of the application whit'll was being made in his behalf until he xvas asked by letter If he would accept. The’unequivocal indorsement which he received from the senators nnd the high reputation enjoyed by him in the state led. Yhe president to make the appointment without hesitation. He was a man of unqdeatirvrtf-d alfikity and high social attainments. During his service in Ilerlin the most important matter that has been pending l»etween the United States nnd Germany has been that in 'regard to the reinoval of restrictions imposed bn the importations of Ariv-ri-cun pork and beef products into that country.

NO MERCY. Gomel Expecta Harsh Treatment of In> » anrgents by Spain. Poston. Jan. 2?.—William F. Manfiix, the Globe's staii correspondent in Cuba, has interviewed Gen. Gomaz in the ■field at Cainito. 60 milbS frttin Havana, and his sketch of the rebel leader disproves the recent reports that he was seriously woundeel and was dying of consumption. He found him actively engaged and planning a bold attack upon Havana. Informed of the Fecall of Gen. Campos, Gon. Gomez expressed regret. He said Campos did not want war, but abhoitcd bloodshed. The people of Spain, he said, had been clamoring for methods of warfare which Campos would not adopt. He continued: “They wanted him to treat and ficht the Cubans, not as men. but as dogs, to be shot down In the strhets or murdered in dungeons. It is a sad day for Cuba that Martines Campos leaves. More than that, it is a dark day for Christianity and civilisation. I love Martiriez Campos, all Cubans love him, for It was his hand that stayed the bloodthirstiness of Spain. He wanted peace; peace with honor, not peace with crime and barbarism. But the pressure was too great and the grand old coin l was compelled to give way. His loyalty to Spaih cannot be questioned, but he was more loyal tdGod and his manhood. We regret; because the change tvflLrnrari more bloodshed and misery for Cuba. It will mean the secret hunting of suspected revolutionists in the cities, the sending to Cienta of hundreds Os innccent men and perhaps the murdering of prisoners tdken. "Rut the Spanish government must beware. Spain cannot ride roughshod over Cuban heart* as She did In Hie fear* frbft ; 1573 to ICT’S. Then the forces in the field were weak, and we could not. If we would, retaliate. Not so in 1896. The revolution is spread from one end of the island to the other. Wc have a total fotce of nearly nC,OT men. and we have the eyes of the civilized world upon us. It would not be well for the Spaniards to make war upon the defenseless In the cities, for In that case liberty would demand and the world would sanction an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. "In this war we have made prisoners of over 1.70i' Spaniards, while the enemy has not captured one-quarter that number from us. This ratio can and will be ma'n r twined; and It IS easy to see how We could doubly avenge the coi’i-bh edcd murdering of out comrades and friends. Speaking of t he movements of the different.<l: vis ion soft he a r my, Gon .Gomez said that Gen. Maceo would remain for some time in I’innr del Rio. where he wgsigaining many adherents. Banderas would keep the troops in Havana province busy, and Jose Maceo would continue to give good accounts of himself in the east. Gomez is pushing forward to meet reinforcementsof 6,ooomen under Sanches!; who are atfsancti Spiritu. and ho intended to leave his wounded' at hospitals in Cienngd, bbttlih hew supplies and return to Havana province. "Do you intend to attack HavanaT’ he was asked, and his reply: “That remains to be seen." was mJin ihiplied tone. Every movement of his the l.ist week Indicates that he intends a bold stroke upon the capital at ah early date, before the hew Spanish captain general can get settled. Santiago de Cuba. Jan.
