would be necessary to consult the Span-

He asserted, however, that Aguinaldo

The heroes of the long defense of Ba-

ed a picturesque band. Lieutenant Mar-
tin, the only surviving officer, marched
them through the streets. There are only
22, and most of them are mere boys, in
faded blue cotton uniforms and red
shirts. They are bar'elooted.
A crowd of Soau ish men and women
embraced them, 11 eepiu and shouting
their praises.
They tell a remarkable story. It ap-
pears that the captain sever-11 times pro-
posed to surrender, but the soldiers refus-
ed. Finallv, some months ago, he tried
to raise a white flag. Thereupon Lieu-
tenant Martin killed him with his otvn
sword.
Their food supply gave out entirely a
week ago, and they surrendered to the
Filipinos, with all the honors of war.
They were allowed to keep their arms,
and they say they marched from Baler,
with a Filipino escort and carrying guns,
through several insurgent camps, every-
:y'here being cheered and feted.

manding, and 9 will be at liberty to 01'-
ganize a company composed of men from
one state if he finds it convenient and
practicable.
The organization of the ten regiments

ence to the organization of regiments in
the Philippines by General Otis. His
regiments will be in addition to those
hereafter to be known as the Twenty-
sixth t0 Thirty-fifth, inclusive. and will
be numbered Thirty-sixth upward. It is
expected that three regiments will be 01'-
ganized in the Philippines. The regi-

the Philippines will increase the arm by
650 officers and 17, 6157 men if there
should be three full regiments formed by
General Otis.
The colonels appointed yesterday are
under orders to proceed at once with the 1
organization of the regiments. Some of

A HAVANA SENSATSON.
Rumors That Gomez Is Plotting
Against Santa Domingo.
HAVANA, July 7.——El Reconcenlrado
publishes a sensational story accusing
General Maximo Gomez of plotting to
overthrow the government of Santo Do-
mingo. It says:
“Having abandoned the hope of becom-
ing the head of the Cuban republic and
unwilling to emulate the example of
those patriots who, in similar conditions,
have thrust aside personal interest and
retired to private life, Gomez is confer-
ring with discontented Dominicans,
among whom is General Bautista, who is
now in Havana, with a view of organiz-
ing an expedition composed of former
American and Cuban soldiers to attack
Santo Domingo, kill President Heureaux
and proclaim Gomez dictator. “’e are
1nfo1'med that Gomez, though an old
111an,.is of infinitely more value than all
the Dominican generals put together.”
It is scarcely necessary to say that this
story is generally discredited.
A noticeable feature of the Fourth of
July celebration here was the fact that
no American soldier was arrested for
drunkenness and none was seen intoxi-
cated on the public streets. The papers
comment favorably upon this.
General Ludlow has issued orders al-
lowing special passes to enlisted men
who may desire to attend evening enter-
tainments. The holders will be allowed
to attend under charge of noncommis-
sioned officers, who will be responsible
for their behavior, passes expiring at
midnight.
