HAVANA , Cuba , Jan. 4. ( Via. Key West ,
Fla. , Jan. G. ) ( Special Telegram to the New
York World. ) As the Spanish authorities
'hero ' will not permit news to bo sent from
hero by cable without editing It to suit them
selves , I send this dispatch by steamer , to
ba wired to the World from Key West. In
iny dispatch of yesterday I mentions ! having
had a conversation with Honorc Lalnc , a
Frenchman , who was arrested by the Insur
gents ! near bis sugar estate , not tar fron
Nnvnjaa , and kept a prisoner by Gomez fo
a week , during which time the Cubans raldei
a largo part of Matanzas province , marching
In a great semi-circle. From Lalns I ob
tallied the following Information :
Gomez let him go at the end of the week
within a mlle of the point where he- first waa
taken prisoner. Gomez was then proceeding
wast rapidly in the direction of Alfonso XIII
' Gomez Invited La I no to rlilo beside him several
oral times during the week , and tallied freely
with him. H ? stated that his solo purpose
was to destroy cane , that Matanzas Is the
richest province , and It had rested In fanclei
eccurlty. Ho Intended to leave no cano to
bo mads Into sugar. He remarked , that grea
gsrctala have generally secured glory by ex
tronio boldness" . Ho Is an old man , and may
not have much longer to live , but he Intends
to add to his reputation by hla future acts.
Gomez will not attempt to hold towns
.Ila spoke explicitly on this point. He fulc
It la too dangerous ; the Spaniard' ; wouh
concentrate him. On the march ho avoids
oven entering villages ) , becaus ? 'hlo followers
KO to the shops and get rum. Gomez Is
n anxious to have the United Stateo declare
fi'V' the Insurgents belligerents. Ho did not ap
pear to understand that no power would
recognize as real belligerents a roving ami )
that scarcely remained in ono spot more
than ono night , and Is engaged in conduct
ing a purely guerrilla warfare. The country
people generally are friendly to Gomez. Ills
fcrc ? , Including the followers of Maceo , Zayeo
Ecrafin , Sanches and oPrcz- . numbers aboul
4,000 men , who are armed and nearly al
mounted. Only about 400 are on foot.
BANDERA IN SANTA CLARA.
Mr. Lalno inado the surprising statement
that Qulntln Handera was not In Matanzas ,
thus disproving the Spanish and Cuba In-
alike. Ho says Handera was somc-
about the Trinidad mountains In Santa
province , and that Gomez recelvsd a
"ppcclal men-age from him four days ago and
pent return orders that ho should join him
in Matanzas as quickly as possrlblc. Handera
has 1,400 followers and Gomez wished for
them.
Gome- ' , has more limn 2,000 unarmed fol
lowers. His bnml Is composed of men of
all shades nf color , more blacks than others ,
and he oven has Chinamen. Maceo has rela
tively a larger number of blacks than Gomez
or Sanches. The three detachments keep
near togctiur. Gomez and Maceo ride- to
gether much and hold consultations at
night. They begin to march at B ln the
morning. There are no regular meals , Dur
ing the day everybody cats sugar cane. The
line of march can bu recognized by the frag
ments of chewed fibre , At night cattls are
killed and men roatt beef on sticks over the
camp tires.
Gome/ has no artillery , Lain * declares.
This disproves the false accounts sent to the
United States. Ho has no baggage other than
ammunition on mules. Maceo has a few brass
Instruments which give "unearthly music"
nights. Maceo IB taciturn and quiet , while
Gomez enjoys a good conversation and dis
cusses a wide ranga cf subjects. Hu loves to
talk of Napoleon Bonaparto. He and Maceo
nro abstemious In their liablts , and although
old men , they appear as tireless as their
young followers.
Lalno says Gomez wishes to go Into Havana
province to destroy cano about Madrugti , HU
movements since I.alno left htm confirm this.
I asked Dine what Impressed him most
strongly. Ho answered that It was the great
mnount of ammunition wnate.l , owing to bad
shooting. The Cubans nro .worse shots than
the Spaniards , who shoot high ,
Gomez shows a personally friendly spirit
toward Campos. He regards Garcia Navarro
n the moat dangerous of any Spanish general
in the Held against him.
All the Insurgent ' wounded and sick are
utMit Into the Great Shoo swamp , a secure
jiolnt , Lalne > sees only ruin of the sugar
industry ahead. He was B.'nt for by the
Bovernor after arrival , presumably to give
on account of his captivity.

KM'KCTINH AN ATTACIC AT HAVANA
iN of that Iioeallly In Tear o
the IiiNiirKenlp.
HAVANA , Jan. 5. Havana has spent a d.ij
of nervousness and anxiety , and has been In
hourly apprehension of an attack by the In
surgent army , or a part of It. Yesterday the
bands commanded by Nunez and Dcrmtidcz
were seen nt Managua , a. village not more
than twelve miles from Havana. It must nebo
bo supposed that the city Is open to the
advance of the Insurgents , or t'nat there arc
none within Its borders to offer resistance.
There has been no overt act of defiance
of the authorities within the city and there
have been numerous voluntary offers lo bea
arms In defense of tha city thousands o
them , the authorities say. But there has
been a comfortable conviction In the mind
of the residents of Havana from tSie begin
nlng of the Insurrection that they were In no
real danger of molestation from the Insur
gouts. Many hundreds of nonconibatant In
habitants of the Island have come to Havana
to await the passing of the storm. Still more
have sent their wives and families here a
a ftafo refuge.
This class of the population Is In a state o
utter consternation and dismay and spreads nn
Infectious spirit of panic through all othc
circles. The authorities no longer make th
slightest concealment of the serloua view they
take of the situation , and there arc some wh
do not hesitate to rail at the Spanish general
nnd tSio troops and make bitter criticisms o
them.
Ther ? has been a great fear that the Ugh
and water supply of the city would to cu
off by a sudden raid of the Insurgent forces
The Idea of the city being left In t-tal dark
ness for the unseen working cf plots am
seditions Is ItEK-lf enough to work a pant
In the nervous condition of the public mind
Special preparations for the defense o
the works that supply the city have beei
made and artillery has beni placed to com
mand them ogalnsb all probable source
cf attack. All possible rccrulto have beei
enlisted for the defense cf the- city and th
nvallablj ground about the city has beei
filled with batteries of artillery which ar
manned , day and night.
The Spanish authorities have maintained a
cordon of artillery forces running from
Havana to the town of Batabano on th
south ocfl.pt s lnco the Invasion of Matanza
province by th ? Insurgents , b'ycnd whlc
they hoped to prevent the advance of th
destroying columns of their enemies. Thl
cordon has proved no more effective tha
the line of La Troeha , which was laid t
keep the Insurgents out of Santa Clara prov
Ince. This line was broken yesterday b
the forces under Gomez nnd the main bed
of the Insurgents today pat-scJ Into the prov
Inc ? of Plnar del Rio , and are now over
running that province with fire and sword
The passage was effected near Batabano
at Pozoredondo. and Gomez burned the vll
lago of Gabriel on the way and partially
destroyed th ? towns of Gulra , Melena am
Alqlzar. The work of destruction In
Havana province has been as complete n
was that In Matanzas anJ the sugar land
of Plnar del Rio.
The work of destruction In Havana
nrnvtnpo line honn nej nmnnlMo n l was thrt
In Matanzas and the sugar lands cf PIna
del Rio are fast being put Into tha same
desolate condition. The proclamation o
General Campos , to the effect that all horaes
on the island are to be held subject to
requisition by the Spanish authorities , has
llltlo effect beyond its fores as a confession
that the Spanish forces are badly handl
capped by the lack of mounted troops and are *
practically helpless against the cavalry forces
of the Insurgent ? . In effect the whole
Island outside of the city of Havana Is now
In the hands of the Insurgents. Thcy have
not annihilated the- Spanish forces , nor have
they routed the whole army In any slngla
pitched battle. Yet the situation lo com
pletely In their hands and s > o completely
have- they outgeneraled the Spanish that to
all appearances Martinez Campos' army
might as well be In Spain for any check 1
puts upon the movements of Gomsz's army
The latter's progress tins been accompaniei
with continual accessions to his forces ! > ; .
volunteers and ho has capturd enough
horses , rifles and artillery to add Immensslj
to the effective strength of his men. He
has practically carried his base of opera
tions with him and has usually counter
marched over a wholly different route from
that of his advance , apparently counting
with confidence upon living upon the countrj
as he went. There U little doubt really fel
hero that ho will gel much or more sym
pathy In Plnar del Rio than he did In Santa
Clara and Matanzas , and the general fear Is
now that , after sweeping over Plnar del Rio
he will coma upon Havana from the west , co
operating In an attack with the forces of the
Insurgents which have been cast of Havana
for ssveral days past.
The advance of Gomez beyond Batabano
has cut the telegraph and cable communica
tion with the eastern part of the Island , upoiu
which Campos principally rolled for directing
hla forces In Santiago do Cuba , Puerto Prln-
clp ? and Santa Clara.
TAMPA , Fla. , Jan. C. An American pas
senger arriving from Cuba tonight reports
that the Cubans are within seventeen mil : ?
of Havana. According tohis statement
Gomez has 22,000 men. The insurgents
burned San Felipe , Duran , Meleno del Sur
and Guara Friday night. Thess places are
twenty mlleo from Havana.
General Campos has Issued a manlffsto to
his olllcers , urging a strict obedience to hU
orders and threatening tlioso disobedient
with being sent to Spain within forty-eight
hourn In disgrace.
NEW YORK. Jan. fi. A special to the
World from Havana. Cuba , pays : The In
surgents have attacked and burned the
towns of Gabriel , Gulra and Arteium : ? , sta
tions on the Western railway , which rune
from Havana to Plnar dsl RI- . Gabriel and
Gulra are In Havana province. Artemesla
Is In Plnar del Rio province. TSo telegraph
operator at the telegraph station of the

munlcatlcn wltlv wlro to. places beyond Salud
had been cut. The Salarlo d& Marina con-
taliu no ncwti today. It has an editorial
counseling serenity , even If Gomez and Ma
ce ) are near. It sayis the worst thing that
could happen would bo for the- Insurgents
to return to Santa Clnra province , bacau
the natural conditions of the country make
It eapy to pursue them hcreabouto and com
pel a decisive tattle. A Madrid dispatch
states that Prmlcr Canovaa uild yesterday
that his government only thought of send

LONDON , Jan. C. The belief has ben
expressed hero that : the expedition of Dr
Jameson Into the Transvaal Involved an
understanding that there was to be an up
rising of the Ulttlanders In Johannesburg In
co-operation with Dr. Jameson and that his.
raid would have been successful If he had
received the expected assistance from
Johannesburg. The abstention of Johannes
burg from taking part In the fight at Krugers
dorf , where Dr. Jameson met his disastrous
leverss , Is .partly explained by cablegrams
received today dated Decsmber 30 , whlcl
, vas the day before Dr. Jameson's start

that Emperor William represented the Ger

15,000 men to sequester all rights by the

All the newspaprs congratulate Colonial
Secretary Chambsrlal'n ' upon his concise state
ment of the unflinching policy of ths
government in the Transvaal , which he re
garded as a reply to Emperor William's
telegram to President Krueger.
The Times voices the general opinion In
saying : "We shall not alter our reading ol
our own treaties or relinquish our historical
claims at the- bidding of the German em
peror , nor shall wo fall to maintain them If
the necessity Is forced upon us by sacrifices
similar to those upon which they were
founded. If the Venezuela difficulty encour

LONDON , Jan. G. Henry Norman , the spe
cial commissioner of the Londo-n Dally Chron
icle , cables his paper as follows from Wash
ington :
"The London correspondents of the Amer
ican papers , having revelled my Identity
here , 1 have been overwhelmed with expres
sions of sympathy and thanks to the Chron
icle for putting the American caw.andopin
ion before the Urltlrh public. All the papers
comment most kindly. As. I have tried to
explain , Amsrlcans believe 'their attitude of
demanding arbitration Is one with which civ
ilized men must sympathize. In support of
this the whole union , It needful , will speak
with absolutely one voles. But at the same
time there Is here on Infinite desire lo see
an Immediate amicable settlement. I have
today talked with several men who are being
denounced In New York as jlngoB , and the
above arc their earnet't sentiments. The people
ple simply cannot understand Lord Salisbury's
attitude. A senator said to mo tDday that
he thinks the cass the same ns If a million
aire quarreled with his Intimate friend be
cause he- had lost 10 cents In his house. I re
peat with every ounce of Influence 1 posssra
that everybody here worth considering desires
peace. If Lord Salisbury can find a way to
mnko the slightest advance toward rscognl-
tlon of the American attitude he will be
received with wide open arms.
"The responsibility of any man or minister
holding back at such a moment , when Eng
land needs every friend she has , for the sal ;
of mere dignity or obstinate adherence t
tits letter of diplomacy , Is appalling to con
template.
"Regarding the Aberdeen dispatches an
the Schomburgk line , I must explain my at
tltude. I assert nothing , my means of Infer
matlon being obviously limited. I simply Invite
vito refutation of the statement that the correspondence
respondenco I cable. ! proves that England I
1811 freely admitted the Schomburgk line t
be destitute of any authority or validity a

"Tho Now York Evening Pest , Indulging I

bio , my position Is indeed unassailable ,
bo-sa my contention upjn the British oiricla
statements at the actual time the boundar
posts were removed. No ex post facto ex

"If England mads any condition when sh
ordered the practical destruction of th
Schomburgk line In 1841 , In response to th
repe.tid arguments , demands and Inslutonc
of the Venezuelan government , then let u.
have the official con-espondenca contalnln
thcso contentions. If these ! cannot bo pro
duced , thsn my documeaty , and my contcn

"But the question at stake Is Infinite !
blggc ? than such arguments , or any promls
cuous discussion of the Monroe doctrine. Th
American government and 'people ' would b

England secure any amount of Venezuplat

They regard the demand for arbitration n

llartliolntnciv Slira'n Coinimiiloii Coii-
feNNen to the Itoxx Murder.
ALBANY , N. Y. , Jan. D. The climax of
ono of the most dramatic and sensational
criminal Incidents of the state's history
was made public today when , Just forty-
eight hours prior to the execution of tin
death scntenc ? upon Bartholomew Shea , an
other mm confcgp'd to the murder , nnd
Shea steps from beneath the shadow of
d.nth thrown by the electric chair. The
Invitations for the electric killing of Shea
had been Issued , the state electrician was
alrtndy upon the ground nt Dannemora
pilson , the governor had decided not to
Interfere In the carrj Ing out of the sentence In
the Institution , when n comrade of Shea's
In the election outrages when ths tragedy
occurred confessed to the crime. The man
who voluntarily conf sses ( o the crlmo nnd
who practically steps from a prlpan chair to
the menacing shadow of an electric death Is
John McQough of Troy , now serving a sen
tence of nineteen years and six months for
shcotlng and attempting to kill William
Ross , a brother of Robert Ross , who was
supposed to be Shea's victim. In som way
known only to convicts McGough had con-
ttlvcd to keep Informed as to the PUCCSSS
or the failure of the applications for com
mutation made In behnlt of Shea. When
Shea was rcscntcnc d to dlo , December 23 ,
It Is believed McGough was ready to con
fess , but when ho learned that a respite had
bf n granted he withheld his confsslon.
After the holidays ho learned that the
efforts to obtain n commutation for Shea
had not ceased and so she made no sign. On
Saturday , when Warden Thayer was made
aware that the governor would mot Inter
fere and arrangements were being made for
the execution , AIcGough sent for the warden
of the prison , Walter N- Thayer , and told
him ho wished to make n statement concern
ing the murder of Robert Ross. The warden
had taken McGough to the olllce and hand
ing htm pen ami papsr , told him to put
down what he. had to say In writing. Mc
Gough wrote a communication of about two
pages and signing It with his full name
handed It to the warden. To the surprise
of the warden and his deputies the paper
contained a decided statement that h . Mc
Gough. and not Shea , had shot and killed
Robert Ross. The statement contained no
details of the shooting other than the boh
confession of the fact. Warden Thayer
went at once to the telephone , when Mc
Gough had been called to his cell , and
called up the executive chamber.
Ho asked the governor to ple-ass receive
a messenger , whom he said would arrive
and then ho at one ? dispatched the prlsti )
stenographer , Edward Coughlln , to Albany
Mr. Coughlln arrived in this city this morn
ing and caught Governor Morton at the man
sion just asi he was leaving for church. The
govenor , upon learning the nature of the
communication , ssnt at once- for Pardon
Clerk Joyce and Shea's counsel , Galen
Rhlttc. After a brief conference the gov
ernor decided to grant a respite for four
wecko , during which tlmo conns : ! could take
the- proper means to bring the matter before
the courts for a now trial.
The respite will be Issued tomorrow anil
will be In force until February 4. Mr. Rhltte
will go bsfore the supreme court tomorrow
morning and ask for a new trial for Shea
and the production in court of McGough.
The confession of McGough will bring to
mind the tragic series of events that led up
to the present dramatic results. The con
viction of Shea and the great public sentiment
against his release were due not entirely to
the fact that he shot Ross , but to the aroused
public sentiment against the disgraceful violation
lation of the purity of fiio ballot that made
the city of Troy a by-word. The crimes oc
curred upon March C , 1894. Shea arid Mc
Gough headed acrowd , , of reneatgra who haj
worked "almost' every pclllhg * pfacluiTroy.
They had been told not to try their games
In the ward In which the Ross brothers , Wil
liam and Robert , were the head of the re
publican party , but announced they would.
In anticipation of tlieir visit , the Ross broth
ers , John Boland and several other citizens
had armed themtolvcs with clubs and some
with pistols loaded with blank cartridges.
It was shortly after that the mcloe oc
curred , and while twenty or moro shots
were flred the two Ross boys fell. It was
while Rob rt lay prostrate that somebody
ran up and shot him In the hcnJ.
This crime was finally laid to Shea's door
and he was sentenced to death , while Mc
Gough was sent to prison for nineteen years
for his assajilt upon William Ross. Shea's
case was taken to the court of opp als ,
which confirmed the conviction. The gover
nor rtspltcd-hlm until after the holidays ,
but Saturday refused to commute his sen
tence.
Some Idea of the s'ntlmcnt In Troy over
: ho matter can bo obtained when It Is
mown the citizens are erecting a monument
n honor of Ross , who lost his life. At the
same time , Shea had many frlonds. as was
ittested by the large m mortals In his favor ,
signed by almost C.OOO women and men and
scut to the governor.

The Initial step in the ceremonies took
place In the palace of the cardinal shortly

from the holy see , authorize Mgr. Sbarretl
to act as the ablegate of the pope , deputlzo
Cardinal Gibbons to confer the berrctta and
announce to Mgr. Satolll his elevation to the
cardlnalate. They were also accompanied by

Sbarrctl said :

Sbarretl upon the manner In which , he- had
performed his duties In this country. Whllo
this fccno was In progress within the palace
the procession was forming In front of Cul
vert hall , a block away. At 10 o'clock It
was ready to start and when formed the par
ticipants were arranged f.s follows :
PROCESSION OK PRIESTS.
First came the processional cross bearer
with the crucifix raised high In the air and
flanked on cither side by u bey in cassock and
surpllcs. Following him were n long line
of student ? from the various Catholic colleges ,
after which came seminarians from St.
Mary's , then prlosts , Franciscan monks in
their garb of brown. Following thcso came
the members of the faculty of the Catholic
university of Washington In long robes of
black , with many colored silk linings , their
heads adorned with the shovel-board hat of
the scholar. After these cams half a hundred
bishops and a ecoro or more of archbishops ,
the purple and gold of their rich vestments
glistening , their immense trains held up by
little boys In brilliant vestments , too.
In this formation they marchwl through
the cathedral to Charles street and passed
the palace of the cardinal , when they were
joined by his eminence , whu lock his place
last In the line. Upon his head ho were
the red berretta , an exact duplicate of the
one which ho was soon to confer upon the
man who will , for some time at least , sliaro
his honors In this country. Upon Ills shoul
ders hung the beautiful cloak of cardinal
silk and ermine , with half a dozen train
bearers clad In cardinal velvet and gilt braia
following In his wake. In this order they
swept up Mulberry street to the cathedral ,
where they filed Into the venerable old pllo
through the main entrance.
Satolll was not In the procession , but ns
the hctid of It reached the altar he , ac
companied by Mgr. Sbarrotl , Marquis Sacrl-
nantl , the member of the noble guard who
brought the cardlnalnto Insignia here , and.
the priests who had been deputized to assist
him In the coming ceremony , entered the
cathedral from a rear door leading from the
palace and advanced to tpio front of the
iltar. The students and seminarians fol
lowed lo the right and left as they passed
In front of the high altar , finding seats on
either side , The others In the procession ad
vanced within the sanctuary and took tha
phice.s reserved for them.
As the procession wended Its way down tha
center aisle the organ , u full orchestra and u.
chorus of fifty voices' rendered a triumphal
inari/n. When Cardinal Gibbons reached the
altar ho bowed low to Satolll , who re-turned
.hu salute , and each , Hccomjianlcd by his
assistant prlcstu and deacons of honor , naught
