WILL DISBAND CUBAN ARMY
Mr: Porter {511.1111 Government Offers
Three Millions to Pay the Insurgent
Soldiers and the Offer is Promptly Ac.-
ceptcd.
Remedios, Santa Clara, via Havana,
Feb. 3.—Genera.l Maximo Gomez, the
commander-ln-chief of the Cuban ar-
my, has placed himself squarely in p0~
sition as an active ally of the United
States government in the work of the
ieconstruction of Cuba.
As a result of the conference 11 hieh
Mr. Robert P. Porter, the special com— I
missione1 of I‘1esident McKinley, has
had with Ge 1111211 Gomez, the latter
cabled to Presidrnt 1111Kinley yester-
day afternoon. assuring, him of co- op-
eration in dislx—tnding the Cuban army
and in distributing among 'the Cuban
soldiers the three million dollars ap-
theil homes.
General Gomez also telegraphed to
Major General Brooke saying that he
would accept the Iatter’s invitation to
go to Havana.
The success of Mr. Porter’s mission
greatly simplifies the returning of tllu
military Cubans to the pursuits ul“
peace.
111 view of General Gomez's suppos-
ed prior attitude of hostility towards
the United States, Mr. Porter came
here clothed with absolute authority,
and the tender of the three million
dollars was practically a verbal ulti-
matum.
Had it not been accepted no more
ov eitules 11 ould have been made.
Mr. Porter made plain the purpose
of the government and was gratified at
the ready response of General Gomez.
The conference took place at the house
here occupied by the Cuban general as
his headquarters since coming to town.
When Mr. Porter arrived here he
was accompanied by Senor Gonzales
Quesada, the special commissioner of
the Cuban junta at ’Washington; Cap-
tain Campbell of General Brooke’s staff
and Lieutenant Hanna of General
VVoods’s staff. .1
General Gomez had gone to his camp
but he returned accompanied by his
staff and fifty horsemen on various
kinds of mounts. They rode past the l
hotel where Mr. Porter was stopping,
around the Plaza and into a side street 1
to the Cuban headquarters.
General Gomez was seen by Senor,
Quesada yesterday afternoon and afte1 ,

' companied by Senor Quesada, Captain

Campbell and Lieutenant Hanna, was
lor, up one flight of stairs, and in the
presence of his staff.
The old geneial wore no insignia of
his rank. lle greeted Mr Porte1 cord- _
ially and opened the intelview by re—
ferring to the change for the better
which had taken place in Cuba. sinlce
he was last here in September. He also
laid stress on the fact that some peo—
ple were asking where was Cuba's pro-
mised liberty.
‘The answer to this," said Mr. Porter,
“is that Cuba now has commercial and ,
industrial liberty, and that President
McKinley has directed me in framing
the Cuban tariff to make no discrimi- I
nations in favor of the United States
in the manner that Spain favored her- i
self. Cuba is free 10-day to buy in the
cheapest market. People are return—
ing-1 to the pursuits of peace and our
military government will give way to‘
the civil government as soon as pos-
sible."
Mr. Potter also said that the purpose .
of the American government is to lay '
a firm foundation of noble government
for Cuba,‘ to give the Cubans all the,
liberties they had fought for and that
Gen. Gomez must remember that and;
more still. For instance, there were
25,000 or 30,001) Spanish soldiers at-
Cienfug'os who have not left Cuba,
that we had only been a. month on the 1
island. and that President McKinley
needed and 11215 entitled to the co—]
operation of all interested in the wel—
fare and future of Cuba. and that he
needed the co-operation of Gen. Gomez
above all others.
The Cuban Commander—in-Chief l'e-I
plied that 111- was ready and willing 111
give the aid required, but asked how
he could do so.
To this Mr. Porter replied that Presi-
dent McKinley would be glad to have
him go to Havana and co-operate-.\1'itl1
Gen. Brooke in disbanding Cubans and
in paying over the $3,000,000 appropri-'
ated for that purpose.
Gen. Gomezsaidthe amount was‘too
small, but that was not his fault, and
he would make it go as far as pos-;
sible, while likeing it to the miracle‘
of the loaves and fishes.
“No man in history,” said Mr. Por-.
ter, “has done so much with so small
resources. Hence your co-operation
with Gen. Brooke will bring good re-
sults." ,

New York, Feb. {Le-Among the fire

health. Mr. Kipling was kept busy
some time with his baggage. Under
the new customs rule this part of-thc

tell where I am going.”
Each article was marked in what
Mr. Kipling said was his own chirog-

stay at that hotel for a. while, but
will go presently to his favorite Amer-

He will endeavor to collect data and
material for a number of Stories and

Verdict. Against the Press.
New York, Feb. 3.--In the libel suit
of Charles A. Hess against the Press.
before Justice Fursman in the supreme
court, the vjury returned a verdict for
$750 damages in favor of the plaintiff.
The suit was for fifty thousand doi—
lars.
Motions by De'Lancey Nicoll for a
new trial on the statutory grounds
were denied.
On motion of J. J. Adams, counsel
for Mr. Hess, the usual five per cent.
taxable costs were allowed by the.
court.
The case has been on trial before
JustiCe Fursman in the supreme court
during the last ten days, and was
given to the jury early yesterday. The
verdict was not agreed upon until late
in the evening.
The Press had charged that while
Hess was a candidate for Congress in
1896 that he was not a resident of the
state; that he bought his nomination
and that he was the boon companion
of a. murderer.

were telegraphed to the war depart-
ment and the question of making :1
contract for this service was under
consideration by the secretary of war
and the quartermaster general yester-
day.
In addition to the three bids received
at New York two bids were submitted
at San Francisco, both of them higher
than the lowest bid received at New

Inasmuch as the war department de-
sires to expedite the repatriation of
the Spanish troops, it is expected that
the contract for the service will be
awarded in a short time. ' -
