KMPEROK WILLIAM IS8CLTED. 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- Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report n rrr n o 1 vv v- issssa : : 1 .. ' ft 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..
