New York, Sept. 14.—The World
prints the following message which Its
correspondent with the Insurgents in
Santa Clara province cables he has
received by courier from General Guz
man:
"Headquarters In the Field, Cen
tral Andrtento Plantation, Santa Clara
Province, Sept. 13.—To the American
People: Difficulties have . arisen
among us, questions of liberty and
law or of-peace. We do not ask for
sympathy; we ask only an op^a field
that wo may settle with Cubans and
for Cubans, the Issues with which we
have joined.
"There has come a time In the his
tory of this republic when the only
way to secure a permanent and right
eous peace, safe in guaranteed con
stitutional liberties, Is by war.
•Under the empty name of a repub
lic, the shackles of the overthrown
Spanish domlninlon have again been
Imposed upon us. Our constitution
has been cast aside with contefntu
ous egotism, the royal laws of the
ancient regime have been revived, and
Issued to us with the very forms nad
words of the royal Spanish decree. Ab
soluteism was again fastening itself
upon Cuba, and In the more dangerous
guise and formulas of a Republican
system that was but the sham of Deni
ocratlc Ideals.
It has become necessary to resort
to arms—not for war If it can possl
bly.be avoided—but as a demonstra
tlon before the court of last resort,
that the spirit that for a century has
fought against royal oppression Btlll
endures and will suffer again the hard-
ships of campaigns rather than yield
the fruits of bard won liberties. By
a vast majority Cuba Is with us.
“If the present administration In
Havana so chooses. It will be war no
longer.
•Shall we be tricked by comml3
sloners from Palma and into an armi
stice whose authority and validity be
then denies?
The Intervention of the United
Statds we do no twlsh. This is our own
Cuban question; a question of our
rights and liberties that we ourselves
must settle. And In considering the
question, we ask consideration of the
fact that It Is one fraught with more
consequence to Cuba than of monetary
commercial loss or gain.
"The rights and properties of the
Americans will be respected by our
forces.
That all in Cuba will suffer as a
result- of the depression due to war
Is unfortunate rkl Inevitable, and
with their patriotism they gladly ac
cept the sacrifice that there will
emerge the firmer rights and absolute
liberties of real constitutional gov
ernment.
"To those Americans who believe In
the liberties of all people and that
the right and just should triumph, we
ask their sympathy "ia.itioi-an fin..

Washington, Sept. 14.—A dispatch
has been received ,at the state depart
ment from Americnn charge d’affaires
Mr. Sleeper, at Havana, confirming
the report of the destruction of sugar
plantations near Clenfuegos and of
the destruction of railroad bridges and
buildings. It Is also stated that nc
traffic Is going on on the Cuban Cen

The governor of Sata Clara province
has reported that Santa Clara Is now

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 14.—The reply
of William Jennings Bryan to the
( statement of Roger Sullivan, of Chi
cago, was given out Thursday night,
Mr. Bryan had said that he would not
lower the discussion with Mr. Sulli
van to one of personal controversy.
The text of his reply follows:
"In his speech before the Jefferson
club In Chicago, on the evening'of
September 4, Mr. Bryan referred to
the cake of Mr. Roger Sulllcan, demo
cratic national committeeman from II
llnols. Mr, Sullivan has rplled In
statement quite characteristic of the
man and his methods, but he will not
be permitted to lower this discussion
to the level of a personal controversy.
The public Is not interested in Mr.
Sullivan’s views of Mr. Br.ytn any
more than it would bo Interested in
Mr. Bryan’s views concerning Mr. Sul
livan were Mr. Bryan to deal with Mr.
Sullivan's personality. Mr. Sullivan
Is the democratic national committee
man from Illinois, holding his office
by virtue of unfair methods. This
matter was presented to the St. Louis
convention and the evidence would
have convinced the convention had
not the delegates feared the effect
of an adverse decision upon the pres
idential candidate whom they were
pledged to support
“If Mr. Sulllcan disputes the asser
tion that a .considerable majority of
the delegates to the Springfield con
vention were opposed to him, he can
fight the question out with the ma
jority league of Illinois which will
doubtless accommodate him.
"As Mr. Bryan has not asked for
a nomination and has not announced
that he will be a candidate, he will
not submit the question whether he
'should be.a candidate to Mr. Sulli
van or to any body of persons less
numerous than the members of the
democratic party of the United States.
Neither can the question as to wheth
er Mr, Sullivan should be re-elec’ced
to the national committee be submit
ted to the members of a convention
already adjourned. Such a decision
would have no binding force. The
question must he submitted to the
democrats ot Illinois when they meet
to select delegates to the n'ezt nation-
al convention, and Mr. Sullivan will not
be permitted to dodge the issue that
Is raised against him. He is offi
daily connected with a favor-seeking,
franchise-holding corporation, and the
question is whether the democratic
organization should be paralyzed by
the Influence of men whose private In
terests made it Impossible for them
to be guardians of the public.
"In speaking of the Sullivan case
at Chicago, Mr. Bryan said: 'I hold
that no man who Is officially connect
ed with a corporation that i« seeking
privileges ought to act as a member of
a political organization, because he
cannot represent' his corporation and
the people at the same time. He
cannot serve the public while hd Is
seeking to promote the financial Inter
ests of the corporation with which he
Is connected.
"•This is the Issue. Before the
trust question became the dominant
one, it was not so Important what a
man’s corporate conectlons were, but
when this question Is the supreme
question of the hour, the party organ
ization must be above suspicion, and
the democrats of Illinois and all other
states are Invited to Inspect the con
nections of those who aspire to the
position of party managers. The
people cannot be fooled, and the party
that attempts to fool them Is sure to
learn of Its mistake when the votes
are counted.'
"Mr. Bryan will urge the democratic
party to put Itself In a position where
It can fight boldly nnd persistently for
the regulation of such corporations
as arc not monopolistic and for the
prevention of any private monopoly
whatever. To this end the organiza
tion must bo composed of men who
are free to act for the public and not
tied by personal Interests to Corpora
tions which are seeking favors at the *
public's expense.”
