NORTH POLE REACHED

bad a lengtbly editorial containing radi
cal suggestions anient the big tailors'
strike now in progress, another one on
the unprovoked persecutions of social
ists, the suppression of socialist news
papers and the unwarranted imprison

meration of evil anticipations resulting
from a continuance of the autocratic
policy of the present ruler of Germany.
Emperor William Struck With a Bundle
of Paper Thrown at Him ly
an Anarchist.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 13. A telegram
received today from Irkutsh, SiDeria,
says a Siberian trader named Kouchna
reff, the agent ot Dr. Fridtjof Nansen,
the Norwegian explorer, who sailed in
the Fram, June 24, 1793, for the Artie
regions, has received information that
Nansen reached the north pole, found
land there, and is returning towards civ

Thrown at as Be Was Driving Through
Brandenburg Gate.
Berlin, Feb. 13. A gross insult was
offered his majesty, Emperor William,
this afternoon as he was riding in an
open carriage through the Brandenburg
gate. The sidewalks were crowded at
the time. Some miscreant, who evident
ly had knowledge the emperor was out
for a drive and would pass through the
Kate, threw a package of newspapers at
the kaieer. It Btruck his majesty on the
left shouldier. Beyond causing the em
peror to suddenly grow' pale and give a
quick order to drive faster, no barm was
done.
Despite the fact that special officers
rode aB a body guard behind the kaiser's
carriage, and that several policeman
were near the gate, the thrower of the
package was not deterred. '
When the package was taken to police
headquarters and opened it was found to
contain a ntfmber of copies of a recent
edition of the Vorwaerts, which was
fall of attacks on the government. It
GOMEZ' WOUND NOT SERIOUS.
NotwlttmtandtDg; it He Personally Di
rects Bis Forces.
New York, Feb. 18. A special to the
World from the headquarters of General
Gomez, near San Antonio de las Bas,
says:
General Gomez' wound has not proved
serious. In spite of bis hurt, of his 72
years of age, and of his 13 years of war,
(10 of them continuous exposure in the
last Cuban rebellion), bis rugged consti
tution enables him to manage his fiery
horses and endure the exceptional fa
tigue of long marches like a younster.
He was struck by a bullet which passed
through his right leg from the front.
Although causing no fracture of the
bone, the wound is ' painful. He has
personally directed his forces in their
daily marchea and almost daily skir
mishes. In answer to the question "How will
the substitution of General Weyler for
General Campos affect the Cuban
cause?" General Gomez said :
"The change will benefit the Cuban
cause. We have loet a most wonderful
enemy in Campos. He is. without
doubt the first general in Spain. The
troops all idolize him, and with his de
parture they are left without a leader in
whom they have confidence. I regard
these good Eoldiers as being in the same
state in which the grand army of France
found, or rather lost itself, upon the de
parture of Napoleon the First.
"I regard General Weyler as an hon
orable, but cruel eoldier," he de
clared. "In his military ability,
however, I do not think . he can for a
moment be compared with Campos. In
the last movements of his former com
mand he was noted only for his unre-

lenting cruelty toward defenseless non
combatants, which action he now claims
was in obedience to superior authority.
"The government of the republic of
Cuba has been loath to order me to de
stroy the cane of American estates. In
fact, I did not like to have to destroy
any property, but it was deemed neces
sary to strise a blow at the finances of
Spain. This has been done and our en
emy will not now receive the $18,000,000
with which to carry on war against us
that she would have received as import
duties upon articles brought into Cuba
in exchange for the sugar crop. AH the
plantations have been treated alike,
American, German, Spanish, even those
owned by patriotic Cubans . have been
prevented from making sugar this
year."
"Are Cubans still willing to purchase
their independence?"
After Borne thought General Gomez
answered : "'Of course, owing to the
rapid increase of the growth of the re
bellion this course would not be so read
ily approved by the Cubans as at
first. Moreover, it is a question for our
government to decide, but I think I am
warranted in answering yes to the ques
tion. The Cubans would now offer for
their freedom $100,000,000, or perhaps
more, to be paid within one year from
this time. To secure the loan I believe
the government of the republic of Cuba
would go so far as to allow the govern
ment of the United States, should the
loan be placed there, to administer the
finances and retain the revenues of Cuba
until such time as the full amount
should have been repaid..
