ment of ten soldiers, left Fort Yabucito

Spain Is Desperate.
LONDON, March 20.—A dispatch from
Madrid to The Pall Mall Gazette says
there is a feeling there which finds wide
expression that the paciflcation of Cuba
will be impossible unless a supreme efiorl
is made involving the sending of large
bodies of re—enforcements to Cuba and es
tablishing a complete blockade Of the is-
land.
Veiled Threat From Weyler.
MADRID, March 20.-—-A dispatch to The
Imparcial from Havana says that the rebel
leader Maximo Gomez was at Cienaga en-
gaged in securing recruits. The attitude
of the Reform party, according to the dis
patch, is very embarrassing to General
Weyler, who regards the electoral question
as critical if the Autonomists should
withdraw. The dispatch says: “In the
event of their doing so he would be com-
pelled to resort to extreme measures,
which he would greatly regret doing.”
Cubans Happy.
NEW YORK, March 20.——There was joy
in the Cuban circles in this city today,
and indeed general satisfaction every.
where, over the news that General Collazc
had succeeded in landing in Cuba a cargc
of arms and ammunition. The insurgents
have been sorely in need of powder and
ball, so sorely that report has it that when
before Havana Gomez had but a few
rounds of cartridges to each man. The
seizure of the Bermuda with her cargc
was a heavy blow to Cuban hopes. ’But
now that the patriots are supplied with
ammunition from one ship, and General
Garcia with 62 brave followers is on the
high seas in the Bermuda, and several
other expeditions are on the way to the
island, the hopes of Cuba are rising.
A special dispatch from Key West, Fla.,
announces the arrival there Of the sea. go-
ing tug Three Friends, which reported the
successful termination of her expedition.
The Three Friends left the Florida coast
last Sunday night, having in tow the twc
masted schooner Mallory. On ,board of
the Three Friends were General Enrique
Collazo, Maj-or Charles Hernandez, Duke
Estrada and 54 others. The Mallory car-
ried 750,000 rounds of cartridges, 1,200
rifles, 2,100 machetes, 400 revolvers and
stores and reloading tools. '
The tug and her tow successfully eluded
the Spanish men-of—war that have been
constantly watching the Florida coast of
late, one of which she saw as she lay con-
cealed in a pine prote.:ted inlet, and by
Monday night was close to the Cuban
coast. Even then the men of the expedi-
tion made out the searchlight Of a Spanish
warship which was sweeping the sea. The
vessel was too far distant, however, tc
make out the Three Friends. .
All Safely Landed.
The men and stores were landed safely
on Tuesday night by means of surfboats.
The Cubans were especially gratified at
the safe arrival of General Collazo, who is
a veteran of the last Cuban war, and 3
man much feared by the Spaniards. Spain
has used every effort to keep him fron.
leaving the United States.
The fact that General Garcia and 62 oi
his countrymen are on the Bermuda and
on a fair way to take to the insurgent
army another valuable supply of arms and
ammunition and stores has a‘so strength-
ened Cuban hopes. General Garcia and
his followers had been in Philadelphia oi
late, closely watched by Spanish spies. It
was announced that they would go to Del-
aware Breakwater on Sunday, and there
board a steamship. They did go down the
Delaware on Sunday, and Spanish spies
followed them. But the wary Cubans
doubled, and in a fog returned to Camden.
There they took a train for Ocean City. on
the Jersey coast. At Ocean City they
boarded a steamboat, the Atlantic City.
They remained concealed on the little ves-
sel until the Bermuda appeared on Tues-
day morning hovering oil' the coast. Then
they steamed out to her and boarded her,
and the expedition proceeded on its way.

large expedition that has landed in Cuba
since .the beginning of the war.
Coliseum Strike Ended.
CHICAGO, March 20.-‘—-The strike 01
workmen on the new Coliseum, which
threatened to interfere with the comple-
tion of that building in time for the Dem-
ocratic national convention, was brought
to a close by a temppragy compromise with
an agreement to submit the‘ question at
issue to arbitration.

ROBBER3 FOILED.
Sherifi"s Men Frustrate a Hold Up on the
Southern Pacific.
TULARE, 0111., March 20.—An attempt
was made to hold up the Southern Pacific
railway south bound passenger train No.
19 between 'l‘ulare and Goshcn stations.
In a duel with one of the robbers Under-
sherifi' Earle Daggett was dangerously if
not fatally wounded and Deputy Victor
Reed received a. bullet in the shoulder.
The robber, who is reported to be a mem-
ber of the noted Dalton gang, named Mc-
Comb. was riddled with bullets and
dropped from the tender of the engine,
rolling down the side of the dump, where
he was found a few hours later stone dead.
Sheriff Merritt of Tulare received infor-
mation about ten days ago that an attempt
was to be made to hold up passenger train
No. 20, north bound, between Tulare and
Gosh‘en. He immediately prepared to give
the robbers a warm reception. A posse of
four deputies was placed on train N o. 20.
while Daggett and Reed were selected to
guard train No. 19, in case the bandits
should attempt to throw them off the
scent and hold up No. 19 instead Of N o. ’20.
Daggett and Reed were seated on top of
the coal bunkers on the tender, with their
backs to the baggage car. When near Ta-
gus siding, eight miles distant from Tu-
larc, the engineer observed a masked man
crawling over the coal toward the officers
He shouted an alarm, but the robber
was too quick and planted a bullet in
Daggett’s side. Reed drew his revolver
and emptied the entire six chambers into
the bandit at short range, receiving a
slight wound in the shoulder in return.
The road agent dropped from the tender.
leaving a pool of blood behind him. The
train speeded into Tulare. where Daggett’s
wounds were dreSSed and found to be seri-
ous.
A posse was. quickly organized and
started for Tagus. Before reaching the
siding they found the body of the dead
robber beside the track. No trace of his
accom ices was discovered.
The blood stained rifle of the bandit was
also picked up.

pl‘ies to Roosevelt’s Attack.
some ALLEGED OMISSIONS.
The Latest Phase of a. Noteworthy Con-
troversy—The Parallel Column Used
Again—Roosevelt Accused of
a Suppression of Facts.
NEW YORK, March 20.—Tha World to-
.day publishes a reply to Police Commis-
sioner Roosevelt’s attack, in which a num-
ber of cases are cited in support of the pa-
per’s. original assertions. In addition to
these, there is the following editorial:
We present a simple statement of facts
today which must compel an apology on
the part of Commissioner Roosevelt if he
is an honest man, or one who cherishes
self respect.
On Jan. 20 The World compiled and
published a list of certain crimes which.
had been reported as committed in the
city during the preceding 50 days. On
the 2d of March we published a second
and completer list, covering the month of
February.
Yesterday Commissioner Roosevelt gave
out to the press his reply as regards the
first of these lists. He had nothing what-
ever to say concerning the second, and be
omitted eight of the cases in the first list
in order to say that “it thus appears”
that only four were true. This was surely
'not an honest way to deal with a publica-
tion that showed the dereliction of the po-
lice under his control, or with-any other
thing that called for truth telling and
honest dealing.
But, putting that point aside, his hon-
esty is open to much more serious question
on other grounds. He sent out this list
to the newspapers of the town. with con-
tradictions of his own, openly and avow-
edly as a challenge of The World’s truth-
fulness. He characterized many of the
statements as “fakes” and indulged .in
much vituperative language Of the bar-
room sort with regard to The World,
falsely assuming that this journal was the
author of the statements thus character-
ized by him.
In doing this Mr. Roosevelt deliberately
perverted the' truth. We do not care to
imitate his forms of expression respecting
such perversions.
He knew perfectly that almost every one
of the reports which be characterized as
“fakes” and falsehoods was published, as
our statement today shows, by the other
newspapers in New York, including those
that have made indecent haste to publish
his untruthful assault upon The World
under heavy headlines. .
Other Newspapers Published Them.
By implication he has charged The
World with the deliberate invention of re-
ports which he perfectly knew had been
published in the other newspapers as well
as The World at the time of the occur-
rences referred to, and never denied by the
police authorities. '
Furthermore, Mr. Roosevelt knew por-
fectly that those reports were mainly taken
by the newspapers either from the Official
blotters of the police precincts or from the
slips sent to police headquarters by the
police at the several precincts. If they
were false, the falsehood was officially cer-
tified as truth by the police under his own
con trol.,- ..,
In singling out The World to vituperate
for the alleged falsehoods transcribed from
the policerecords Mr. Roosevelt is guilty
'of what the logicians call a suppressio
veri, which is Latin for a form of false-
hood which vulger persons call by a
harsher Saxon name. And yet we have
.only this man’s unsupported word for .it
that the records thus published in the
newspapers generally and brought together
by The World for the sake of effectiveness
were false. Is his statement in this re-
gard more worthy of belief than in the
other? Is the man who seeks to make it
appear that one neWSpaper has invented
stories which he knows were published in
many other newspapers and attested by
police records Worthy of belief in anything
he says?
His assault is dishonestly directed
against The World alone. It concerns
other newspapers quite as closely. Is his
contention that crimes of violence are not
disgracefully prevalent—as it is notorious
that they are—worthy of attention in view
of his plain conviction of malicious false.
hood in a statement which it has taken
him six weeks to prepare?
Some Cases Cited.
In the news columns, under the caption,
“Roosevelt Tells the Truth, but In Order
to Do So He Is Compelled to Admit the
Veracity of The World, " the following ap-
pears: ' _
Mr. Roosevelt all through his statement
undertakes to lay special stress on what
he alleges to be a fact—«that of the 4.5 cases
of highway robberies, burglaries. etc, re-
ported by The World for the 50 days, only
4 were genuine.
It has been shown that in starting to
prove the truth of this statement he omit-
ted eight of the most notorious of the
cases, making absolutely no mention of
them in his tabulated list. Stranger still,
however, in the cases he does quote. be
fully proves the truth of The World's state-
ment.
Before a list of these cases is presented
it should be noted that on Jan. 21, when
The World published its famous list of
crimes, it was careful to call attention to
the fact that these were simply cases “re.
ported by the police and neWSpapers.”
Here are some of the cases in which the
“actual facts” as presented by Mr. Roose-
velt bear out in full and verify The World’s
statements. As in his manifesto, the two
are printed side by-side:
THE WORLD.
Dec. l.
Henry Wilkinson,
One Hundred and Sev-
enty-sixth street, at—
tacked by four high-
waymen on Sixteenth
street.
The World’s statement was simple and
plain that a man had been attacked by
highwaymen. The fact spoke for itself,
and no comment was made, because none
was necessary.
Another of the Same Style.
ROOSEVELT.
Dec. 1.
All four highway-
men were promptly
arrested by the police
and held for trial.
THE WORLD. ROOSEVELT.
Dec. 1. Dec. 1.
Bold attempt to steal The police saw the
$2,000 worth of ‘ fur wagon load of fur be-
from Alexander&Bar- ing driven off, made
nett. ' chase immediately, re-
covered the furs and
restored them to the
owners.
Could anything be clearer? The World
announces the attempt to steal $2,000
worth of furs, and Mr. Roosevelt admits
it. The robbery was committed, and the
case was fittingly inserted in The World's
k list of crimes. -

AN ~lNTERVlEW.
Such as Will Be Incidental to .Future Po-
litical Campaigns.
“To what am I indebted for the honor
of this call?"
“It was Mrs. Mary Ellen Ricketts who
spoke. She held in her hand the card
of Mrs. Samantha J enkinson, which
had just been laid on the desk by the
office girl, for the card was followed‘ al-
most instantly by the entrance of the
person whose name it bore.
There was really no necessity for the
use of the card for the two had fre-
quently met.
Mrs. Ricketts was the candidate for

Mrs. J enkinson was the democratic

was natural for her to be surprised at

“I came to see you on a small matter
of business,” replied the visitor.
“Pray proceed.” . ,
“I have learned from good authority
that your managers are bent upon a
campaign of personalities and that they
intend to give to the press certain slan-
derous gossip about me, intended to in-
jure my candidacy." ‘ '
The speaker paused and Mrs. Ricketts
said, interrogatively:
“Well?” *
“Well,” echoed Mrs. Jenkinson, “we
must keep personalities out of the cam-
paign.”
“We must, must we?”
“We must.”
Mrs. Ricketts sneered.
Mrs. Jenkinson waxed wroth.
“ .001: here, Mary Ellen Ricketts,"
she exclaimed, “don’t you dare to turn
up your snub nose at. me, now.”
“Samantha J enkinson,” retorted Mrs.
Ricketts, “-my nose is not snub, and
don’t you presume to dictate what my
managers shall or shall not do in this
campaign."
“We’ll see about that. Mary Ellen
Ricks-ts, you were engaged to my hus-
band Of your ' young days, a. good
many years ago.”
“I’m not nearly as old as you, I’d have
you know.”
“You are!’
“I’m not, you insulting thing! ”
“You are!”
“I’m not!"
“We will 12:252.; that point, but I want to
say that when I married my husband
all your love letters were in his posses-
sion I have them now.”
“You spiteful thing!”
“Many a good laugh I’ve had over
them. What a perfect goose you
were!" ’
“I just hate you--—so, there!”
“And T merely wish to add that, on
the very first publication of a. person—
ality about me in your newspaper or-
gans I shall print.- in the Daily Bugle
every single one of your mushy, lacka-
daisical epistles. Do you understand?"
The two women glared at each other
half a minute, and then Mrs. Samantha
J enkinson withdrew, leaving Mrs. Mary
Ellen Rickctts deep in thought.
The campaign was conducted with-
out any personalities—Harper’s Bazar.
