i ;,dd and scarlet, in aralH-sque designs,

1 and inonsi. rs writhing along cornices and
; out of corm rs. Einally a footman opened
! a door, and wc found ourselves in Hie
‘ primes own private apartment.
I Two gentlemen were lounging in a very
' easy fashion upon luxurious fauieuil nt
I the fu’ih.-r < nd of the room, and a third
stood between them, his thick, well-formed
|..gs somewhat apart and hi:- hands clasped
behind him. The sun was shining in upon
them through a side window, and I can
see the three faces now. one in the dusk,
one in tl.e light, and one cut across by the
shadow. Os those at the sides I recall the
reddish nose and dark, Hashing eyes of tne
one, and the hard, austcrv face of the
other, with the high .oat collars ami
many-wreathed cravats. Th. sc I took in at
a glance, but it was upon the man in the
center that my gaze was fixed, for this
I knew must lie the prince of Wales.
George was then in his forty-first year,
and, with the help of his tailor and his
hairdresser, hi' might have passed as
somi what less. Th.' sight of him put me
at my case, for lie was a merry looking
man. handsome, too. in a portly, fuli
blocd.od way, with laughing eyes, and
|s»uting, sensitive lips. His nose was turn
ed upward, which i’n r.-nsed the goou
humored effect of his countenance at tii ■
expense of his dignity. His < tieeks were
pale and sodden, like those of a man who
lived tm> well and took too little exercise.
Un was dress.el tn a singl.-hrcastod black
coat, buttoned up to his neck, a pair of
b ather pantaloons stretched tightly across
his broad thighs. poli:-'u I Hessian boots
and a huge white neckcloth.
“Hullo, Tregellis!" he cried. In the cheer
iest fashion as my untie crossed the thres
hold. and then sudd nly the smile faded
from his face, ami his eyes gleamed with
resentment. "What the devil is this?" he
shouted angrily.
A thrill of fear passed through me as I

CLARK RETURNS FROM CUBA
The Spanish Commander Is Pleasant
and Kindly Offers Help, but iio
Once Cares To Take It.
New Yark, April Ji. Some light is thrown
upen the actual situ itioi. in t ' lixi today
by an interview with J. Frank 1 link, staff
correspon.l. nt of tl.e I'nit.d l’r. . s. who has
just arrived from Havana. Mr Clark .-aid:
“Thtce conclusions force themselves u(h>u

Os the progress of th revolution in Cuba.
The insurgents are making a remarkaoly
good light. Spain has demonstrat'd her
inability to put them down. The < n<i is not
in sight, but I'lil-a is surely slipping away
from Spain, and unless some n w ei mei.T
is introduced she will lie lost to the tn-.'h.r
country. Meanw ■me atrocities are being
committed and methods of warfn-. ire b. -
mg followed with her not coin tcniin. <“1 by
civilized nations. I have mad. two trij to
Cub;'.. The first v, is al the I. ginning ~f
April. 1'".., when the insurrection was in its
infamy. I remained two months, returning
to the states in June. Early in January I
w.-nt ba. k to Cuba, finding that Goinez and
Mace.-, whom 1 left in the mountains of the
eastern district, had marched six hundred
miles, carrying the wave ot revolution w< •-
ward and wire then almost at the gates at
the capital 'ity. When I left Havana, a
week ago, the insurrection was larger, more
formidable, and apparently more promising
of success than at any time in the fourteen
months since tl.e Cubans rose against
Spain.
”1 went to Cuba, not as the representative
of any one newspaper, with an editorial
opinion of its own, Lui as correspondent of
tin- t’nited Press, an association who.--* sole
mission is to obtain facts and disseminate
.'l< w s.
The Truth He Told.
"in the early part of the struggle, before
the insurgents had made much progres: .
my reports were crith is.-d by Cuban, as un
fair to them. Now. that they have swep',
over the island, pushing Hie troops of Spain
b. fore them and making a record that w ilt
live in history, Spaniards say th.it tn: re
ports are unfair to Spain. In both in- s I
have told th” truth.
'Before the arrival of General Weyl.-r
correspondents were permitt. d to a • ompa

the insurgents, but shot, upon his return
to the Spanish camp. I have had expe

error, polite in hi- re. option: of alt Amtri
eans, yet he had away of impressing upon
a corn ..pondent wjithout putting it into
word- that it would conduce to his per on
al safety to report nothing but Spanish offi
cial news.
How Readers Are Beguiled.

geut success from the beginning, mid are
a record of ma.iv Spanish vi.-t. r.. -. which
ex'st on pap. r m.ly, the correspondent wi.o
accepts them at face value Is-guiles his
readers. If Spa'll were winning battles vby
not permit ac< r< dit. d <-*>rr. spend, nts to
a. , ompanv columns of troops and report
from persona! observation. If battles are
fought whenever announeed officially why
ar.- correspondents refused a safe conduct
pass to enable them to visit th.- battlefield,
when all is over'.' If Hi.- affair at Gaulao
was a liattl. and not a butchery, why w- r*‘
two correspondents throw :i into Morro cas

did not succeed. Then he resorted to the
