Mr Voorhecs. "I want to ask my friend from Maine, whether I may
ill him as one more witness to the fact that It was not generally known that
,ller wns demonetized? Did ho know as speaker of the house, presiding at
'bat time, that the silver dollar was demonetized In the bill to which lie
illudcs?" . ,,, ,, A

"Mr. Voerhecs: "I very frankly say that 1 did not. I do not claim to

Mr limine and Mr. Voorhees continued the controversy over tno bin ror

i the house when the senator from Ohio said:

New York, Aug. 21. Tho Herald
this morning published the following
correspondence from Santa Ana,Cuba,
under date of August 13:
In speaking or the attitude or the
United States toward Cuba and tho
possibility of President Cleveland re
cognizing tho belligerency of the In
surgents, General Gomez said:
"I have forbidden the discussion of
tho subject In my camp. For weeks
men fairly held their breaths waiting
word from Washington. It wns a
waste of time. Long ago I realized
we must light this war nlono and un
aided. We can win our Independence
whllo the executive of tho United
States Is considering the question of
our possiblo belligerency.
"I liavo no doubt of the sympathy of
the American people as a whole. In
fact, I have tho best ovldcncc of tholr
good will. Many Americans are light
ing In my ranks, and good, truo men
they aro. Tho chief of our artillery Is
an American from Boston and no
braver man lives."
"How long do you think the war will
continue?"
"1 prefer not to appear iu tho guise
of a prophet. I leave that to General
Woylcr," was tho response.
"You nro confident of success In the
end?'
"As certain of It as I am that Cuba
Is an island, but I must fight tho
battle my own way. I know that wo
aro called gucrrllas; that somo pcoplo
marvel because we prefer to tight
from ambush, but wo are In this war
to win. Ammunition isscarcoand I
think 1 know how to use it to advan
tage. Cuba is ours now. It Is truo
the Spaniards hold most of the sea
port cities and some of the Interior
towns, but In tho latter they aro get
ting very tired. Wo don't let them
stop much, and now wo will seo that
they do less. Tho city of Puerto
Principe Is hungry now; Guaraulnu Is
suffering and Victoria do las Tunis is
nearly starved. Sabancu Is a'u..n
dotted. Tho cattle of Camagucy and
Santiago dc Cuba provinces aro out of
tho reach of the Spaniards, and from
this tlmo forth thcro will be no more
carrying of fruit and vegetables into
tho cities by pacllicos. Wo will have
no more paclllco,. Every man on this
Island must bo for Cuba or ror Spain.
"I have requested tho French coffee
growers who did not care to take up
arms for common liberty to take a
little vacation In France. Some have
obeyed. It will not bo for long. If
they remain unmolested by my forces
Spain will grow suspicious and de
stroy their estates as slto lias those of
Americans whom I tried to protect."
"Will there bo this coming fail any
exceptions made In your order against
grinding cane?"
"Not one," replied the general.
"Nothing will bo tolerated whlnli will
yield revenue to Spain. Lack of
money Is Spain's weak point, and I
am going to take advantage of It. I
have no desire to destroy property but
Cuba must be free. But I will hayo
no moro of barter, Communication
between the country and cltlcH held
by Spanish troops Is now cut off und
will so remain. Their only hope of
relief must come from convoys, and
over waiting for the enemy's convoys
are our ambuscades.
"All our lights are not from ambush,
however," he continued. "The bat
tle of Saratoga, which lasted four
days and nights was anything but an
nmbiish. Vieuenil CatellunO lutil morel
than 2000 man while wo made the at
tacK with a forco of less than GOO; not
my old trained veterans, wlio I loft in
the West, but comparative recruits,
hastily got together in Cnmnguey.
"The Spanish tired 55,000 rounds,
according to their own report. We
tired about 12,00. There wero nearly
300 graves, only 14 of which were Cu
bans, and yet, according to Havana
icports, they always drive us out of
our camps, kill many and capture a
quantity or our ammunition. My
men may not bo possessed or superior
maikmauslilp, but they lire at a hol
low square or at a mass, while our
lines, being bo extended, permit most
or tin: Spanish bullets to pass between
iw.
"They say we won't come out and
light," said General Gomez, with n
laugh. "Why have they built a wlro
fenco around tho city of Puerto Prln
clpe ir not to prevent our chasing
them Into their holes V"
