WILL FORCE THE ISSUE
Gomez Declares War Must
Be Settled Quickly.
ARE READY TO BEGIN CAMPAIGN
Some Bard Klavi to Be Delivered Near
Havana An American Mur
dered by Spaniards.
Washington, Jaly 14. Maximo Go
mez has changed radically bis plan of
campaign. A letter from him waa re
ceived in Washington today. Hereto
fore the commander of the army of lib
eration has waged a waiting war. But
for reasons which seem good to him, the
leader of the insurgentB has how adopted
an entirely different policy.
"It must be eettled quickly," General
Gomez says, speaking of the war. He
tells that it is his purpose to force a
crisis as speedily as possible. To . this
end he has left the scene of his long de
lay near La Reforma, on the eastern
edge of Santa Clara and Matanzas pro
vinces, ami is now within Havana pro
vince. He intimates that be regards
some quick, hard blows in the vicinity
of Havana as vital to the cause, and that
he will direct there in person.
The letter was received by an officer of
the insurgent army who came to Wash
ington recently. Its contents cannot be
made public further than has been indi
cated. They are not interpreted as alto
gether encouraging by the receiver, but
rather as showing the dear approach of
a desperate situation, a crisis in Cuban
affairs. The officer in receipt of the let
ter from Gomez will leave at once for the
island. He believes the fate of the in
surrection is about to be determined.
The feeling that the immediate future
is to produce results in Cuba is shared
by the administration. Within the last
few days three American coneuls on the
island, located at Matanzas, Sagua and
Santiago de Cuba, have asked for leaves
of absence. Under ordinary circum
stances the requests would be granted.
Mr. Barker, the consul at Sagua, has not
been away from bis post in three years,
and has been urged by bis physicians to
take a vacation for reasons of health.
But the state department has notified
all these consuls that it is not compati
ble with public interests to grant leaves
at the present lime.
Consul-General Lee is fully expected
a to come to this country in Jcdy. It is
stated that he will not leave Havana
now because of the possible develop
ments. Murdered By Spaniards.
Key West, July 14. Another Amer
ican has been killed in Cuba. Charles
Gordon, Captain Menocal and two sol
diers left Soledad camp to join General
Gomez. While passing the Damujy
river, a guerilla force attacked them.
After some fighting Charles Gordon and
two others were captured. Captain
Menocal said he was an American, and
wanted to have a fair trial. The chief
of the forces, Brauho Coteron, replied :
"Kill that American ; if he goes to
Havana Lee will save him."
Gordon was macheted in the most
cruel manner. Charles Govin, the
American correspondent, and Charles
Gordon left the .United States -on the
same expedition, and have both been
assassinated in a very similar manner
because they were Americans.

was carried out faithfully and aroused
applause, which was turned to lamenta

used, which was supposed to be loaded
with blank cartridges, carried a real bul
let instead.
CREEDE'8 DEATH ACCIDENTAL,.
The Coroner's Jury at I.oa Angeles So
Decides.
Los Angeles, July 14. Accidental
self-poisoning by an overdose of mor
phine taken to relieve pain was the ver
dict of the coroner's jury as to the cause
of death of Nicholas J. Creede, the min
ing king, who was found dead in the gar
den of his residence on Pearl street.
During the inquest very little refer
ence was made to his wife, from whom
he separated six months ago, and whose
return was conjectured to be one of the
causes of the depression which is said to
have been observed in Creede of late.
All questions asked at tbe inquest were
evidently intended to bring out the con
tention made by friends of the deceased
that it was entirely by accident that be
took morphine.
The testimony showed that Creede bad
occasionally used morphine to allay pain,
and that it was entirely possible that he
bad accidentally taken too much. After
a short deliberation the jury returned a
verdict as above.
Creede s lawyers are unable to say
whether or not he left a will, and out of
respect for him his papers have not vet
been examined.

Nkw Yoek, July 14. The World says:
John Bradbury, of Los Angeles, a mill
ionaire, whose wife recently deserted
him for H. Russell Ward, was inter
viewed by a World reporter after mid
night this morning at the Hotel Marie
Antoinette.
"I am sorry you have found me here,"
he said, "as I wished to avoid further
publicity in connection with this sad af
fair. However, what can I say to you?"
"Are the reports true," he was asked,
"that you have decided to forgive your
wife, and that you are going to meet her
in a few days and affect a reconcilia
tion?" "I have no intention whatever of do
ing so," he replied gravely but emphatic
ally. ''What are your plans" he was asked.
"I intend to remain here for a few
days," he said, "then I shall go to
Europe for a rest."
"Will you take any proceeding against
Mr. Ward, physical or legal?"
"No," he answerd. "I don't think it
worth while to do so."
"Will you institute divorce proceed
ings against your wife?"
"I have no intention of getting a di
vorce from her," he answered. "The
fact is, I am tired of this whole affair,
and simply want to get away from it."
"Have you heard tbat Mrs. Ward has
cabled money to her husband in San
Francisco, and is going to return to
him?"
"No," answered Colonel Bradbury,
"and I don't care anything about them.
I have said all I care to now.

CIGARETTES AND WHEELS.
Alleged Increase of Smoking Among
Women Who Ride Birycten.
The statement that the sale of eig-ars
and cigarettes is stcadilj' decreasing' is
not borne out by the government sta
tistics, says tbe Now York Sun. For the
ten months of the fiscal year ending
April 30, 1S9C, the cigars manufactured
for home consumption only in this
country numbered 3,50S,200,4S7, or an
increase of C8,45S,751 over the last fiscal
year. .In cigarettes an even greater in
t iease is recorded, the total X'roductfor
the first ten months for home consump
tion being 3, 338,147,300, or an increase
of 017,804,430. Consequently the state
ment of a decrease, which was attrib
uted to the bicycle, is false.
As a matter of fact, there has been a
preat increase in cigarette smoking
through the popularity of the bicycle.
This, it is stated, is due largely to cig
nret.te smoking by women, who, very
many of them, are well equipped with
tiny cigarette cases, cigarettes and
matches. A firm making high-grade
cigarettes is now turning out more
cigarettes specially adapted to the
taste of women, than for men; and the
number of special private brands, bear
ing the name and address, or crest and
motto of the customers, is increasing
daily. Some women bicyclists- now
band out a cigarette bearing the name
in place of a visiting card. Some of
these private brands made for New
York women cost, five dollars per 100.
