Declares That Cuba is Lost to Spain. THE WHOLE ISLAND IS IN ARMS AGAINSC THE PYRANTS-BEST BLOOD OF COBA PIGKIING FOR FREEDOM NOW. New York, July 16. -General Bradley °F. Johnson, who has been investigating affairs in Cuba, returned yesterday., General Johnson said: \Cuba is lost ito Spain. That Spain can never again subdue Cuba may be regarded as conclusive. 'There is no possibility of the Spaniards, with their present or with other forces, crushing the revolution. 'The whole island is in arms against them. 'The ranks of the insurgents are daily recruited by the best blood in the island. The leading Social clubs in Santiago de Cuba and in Havana have been recently broken up, and the members have gone to the fields. \Large numbers of students of the University of Havana have left their classes and joined the rebellion. 'This shows the earnestness with which the Cubans regard the struggle. 'They will never give up and the indications now clearly point to their ultimate success. It is generally understood in Cuba, among those who have daily confiden- tial communications with the: rebel army, that General Maximo Gomez is preparing to strike some great and de- cisive blow in the near future. \I do not understand, if that is so why Gomez allewed his intentions to be disclosed, but certain it is that Gomez is moving from Puerto Principe east ward toward Maceos troops, and this looks like a projected combination of the two forces. \Yellow fever is doing destructive work along the Spanish lines in the, 'Trocha. It is certain to become epi- demic, although the doctors are fight ing it. 'The Spanish losses through this scourge will be frightful. In Havana the disease has as yet made little head- | way, although a few cases have de- veloped in the slums. \The war is not likely, in my opinion, to end soon unless the United States in- terferes.. The Cubans will not abandon the fight until the Spaniards are driven from Cuban land and the island will be practically destroyed and the Spaniards starved out. Such is the spirit dis- played by the rebels.\ General Johnson scouts the idea that either of the Maceos have been killed. The Church Militant Wilwaukee, Wis., July 16.-The flag of the Church Militant is to-day waving over the \Cream City.\ 'The Baptist Young Peoples Union has come to town. The convention opened to-day.

He said ncathing about having a wife living and it was thought that he had married a woman who now bears his name and with whom he had been living in a house on William Street.. About seven weeks ago, Mrs. B. No. 1, to whom Tony was married about 10 years ago, came to town. She was accompanied by . her three children. Tony did not seem over anxious to see them or to support them, and after Mrs. Bereski No. 1 grew a little better acquainted with the situation, she was not at all pleased. On the advice of friends she preferred the charges. Both wives were in court, and it was found that Tony bad been actually, married to but one of them. Justice Wallenimeier concluded |. to place him under $800 bonds to pro- vide for his lawful family and in de- fault of the bonds he was sent to jail for six months.

'The modern photograph is a work of art and the preparation for having one's photograph taken is also a highly artistic proceeding, requiring, accord- ing to up-to-date ideas, a deal of fore- thought and the aid of the highest aes- thetic training.
