SPAIN WIL L NOT SUCCEED. t

Genr. Roloffl Says Insurgents will be AVictorious In Cuba.

An unusu:l number of Cubat•w gather-ed at hcadqru'arters to congratulateGen. Roloff itud Senor Gon:males deQuestda upon t leir return to New York.Senor Qnu(seL L saidl he( met with succe&sson his trip to C(,tuala. "He found Cana-dians were g.ood friends of(Cubans. At IL mueeting at Cobourg, t•Ontario, Lientenant-(;v. Kiirlp;atrick tlp1 resided and .xrlress.~ed his warm sym- tipathy with the struggling Cublans. ,(Gen. Iblooff said: "Slain is now mak-ing her last t',l'rt to suppress the re-bellion, but -he wrilt not succeed. The e,40,000 men \who iure about to laund in p

Cuba will not change the military situ- Uation. There will be some more tight- "'

ing, and that will be all. If, as they rsay, Scain seuds 50,00() or &0,000 more smen, and thus increases her army in "

nuba to 2510,000, exclusive of guerrilas Iand volunteers, she may force us to wresort to the guerrila warfare instead tiof operating a.s we do now in largemasses. I am perfectly satisfied that75,000 Spanish soldiers cannot conquerGen. Maceo in finar del lRio. If wehad 50,000 ritles the war would lie overin three months. As things are, how-ever, it wil last a year or more. Weare well prepared for the winter cam-paign. Last year, when Gen. Maceobegan his march to the west, we hadhardly 400,000 cartridges in the wholeisland. Now we have nearly 4,000,-(000, and what is more important thereis not the slightest doubt as to thefeeling of the 'ountry in favor of revo-lution. The truth is, eight monthsago we did not know what awaited usin Matanzas, Havana and Pinar delRio, which are now Cuban strong-holds." ,

Shipwrecked Seamen Su'cide.The Italian hark Monte Tabor, from t

Triibani, for l:,ston, wi:h a cargo,of tsalt, was wreL'ked on Peaked Hill bar b

at midnight last Friday. To escapedeath by drowning, it is presumed, tCapt. Dellacassa committed suicide by vshooting, and his example of self-de-strilction was followed by the mate, tw'ho cut his throat with a razor. Fourof the crew of ten, all of whom were aswept overboard, were drowned. The tremaining six relched shore on thevessel's deckhouse, which was thelargest portion left from the vessel ashort time after she struck. The sail- eors who reached land are all foreigners uiand they speak very little English, so 1ithat only meagre details of the wreck ewas learned from them. b

Early Trial I)eand•a,.The State department has made, a

representation to the Madrid authori-ties in the cases of W. A. andl Louis M.Gleain, 'two brothers who ha'e .beenconfined in prison in Cnba since lastApril.. Numerous' requests have beenmade by the consul general in Havarlato have the trial of these men expe-dited. He has met with no success sofar, receiving oply promises from timeto time that' the men would be given ahearing as soon ~s the Spanish author-ities had eoncluded the work of collect-ing evidence: Te inenc were artirestedupon a charge that they intended join-ing the insurgent forces. A reportfrom Consul General Lee shows, it isunderstood, that there is no evidenceto substantiate the charge. On..thestrength of this the State departmenthas instructed Minister Taylor in Mad-rid to insist upon ain earl,'tfial or theimmediate release of these men.
