HAVANA, June 7.~—General Maximo
Gomez, the former commander in chief
of the Cuban army, issued his farew'ell'
manifest.) yesterday. In part it says:
"Tl‘e commission I have been iutz'usted
with is nearly concluded. I have at-
tempted to find a solution of questions
concerning the army which I commanded
during the bloodiest war known in Amer-
ica. I am now leaving regretfully to at-

HENDERSON Is SURE
CONGRESSMAN‘SHERMAN WITHDRAWS
At a Conference of New Yorla’s Dele-

mously Decided to Support
General Henderson.
NEW YORK, June 7,—The contest for
the speakership of the Fifty-sixth con-
gress ended yesterday when Representa—
tive James S. Sherman of Utica sent this
telegram to General Henderson of Du-.
buque, 1a., the successful candidate:
“The Republican representatives from
New York state, at a meeting held to-
day, Mr. W'adsworth and Mr. Ray with-
drawing therefrom and Mr. Payne not
being present, tendered me their sup-
port for speaker. I acknowledged with
gratitude the honor, but stated that in
my opinion a majority of the Repub-

ready voluntarily expressed a preference
for you and that such support was not
confined to any section, that from long

feat. But none of us thought this ex-
traordinary event would be followed by
our allies. who treat us as a people in-
capable pf acting for ourselves and who
have reduced as to obedience. to submis-
sion and to a tutelage imposed by force
of circumstances.
.» fi‘i‘his cannot be our ultimate fate after
the 33%1'3 of struggle, and we should aid
—- ca . ' . . . . ,
by every pat-die method in finishing the
Work of organizing, which the Americans
accepted in the protocol and which is as
disagreeable for them as for ourselves."
The farewell manifesto of General Go-
mez is the principal topic of conversation.
among Americans and Cubans of all
shades of politics. The Americans for the
gst part consider it an affecting ad-
ress, expressing the real views of the
old patriot and also his sincere intention
to retire from public life. His Cuban ad-
mirers say the address will rank among
the most famous in history.
His opponents, especially the members
of the former military assembly, insist
that he has no intention to retire for
more than a few weeks and that his real
object is to gain public sympathy. They
say also that Colonel Carlos Cespedes
virtually writes the greate: part of what
Gomez issues to ti}? public, though in
this ipsti‘i‘fice pfobably a third was writ-
te'nib'y Gomez himself. ’35.
The agyiicuglturjl board of Matanzas
hisixsyubfiiitt‘ed a plan for the distribution-
of the $25,000 which Gengral \I'ilson,
military gOvernor of the Matah‘zas-Santa
Clara department, has approyriated to
relieve small farmers. The sc eme pro-
poses an allotment of $100 as expenses
for five months and of $25 for building a
house. It would allot also a plow, yoke,
a machete, a pair of oxen. a dozen hens.
a cow and a sow. This experiment will
be watched with considerable interest.
although the impression prevails among
many Cubans anl Anna'icans that those
who do not share in the allotment will
make trouble.

aware of your eminent fitness for the
position 9f speaker and that a unanimous
election would tend to strengthen you.
whereupon the meeting at my request in-
structed me to notify you that the New
York Republican representatives tender-
ed you their support.”
This result of the conference of the
Republican congressmen of this state
was reached after a prolonged confer-
ence that once came near ending in a
row.
Senator Platt was at the hotel during
the morning. Practically all of the Re-
publican politicians at the hotel agreed
that Representative Sherman could not
get the nomination for speaker and that
the New York members would decide to
support Henderson.
Directly after the taking of the vote
Mr. Sherman was called to the meeting
room and informed of the result. He
thanked his colleagues for their assur-
ance of support and then said that, un-
der present circumstances, he considered
it proper to withdraw from the contest.
Formal action was at once taken pledg-
ing the state’s support to General Hen4
derson. and Mr. Sherman was authorized
to inform the Iowa candidate of the New
York delegations action.

Heated Discussion Over the Pros-
ecution of General Mercier—No
Truth In Castellanc Story.
PARIS, June 6.-An order of the day
was accepted by the government in the
deputies last evening stigmatizing the'
occurrences at Auteuil and approving the
declarations of the government. It was‘
carried without a division after the first
part had been adopted by a vote of 513
to 32 and the second part had been voted
by 326 to 173.
The chamber. by 299 to 238 votes, de-
cided to adjourn the appointment of a
commission of inquiry into the conduct
of General Mercicr, the .former minister
of war, until after the court martial at
Rennes. which is to try Dreyfus as a re-
sult of the decision of the court of cassa-
tion. ~
M. Salogue, while eulogizing President
Loubet, was interrupted by M. Rions dc
Largcntaye, Conservative, representing
the Second division of Diana, Cotes—du-
Nord, who shouted:
“Lonbct is not honest.
mist."
These statements called forth violent
protests and shouts of “Order!” but M.
dc Largentaye persisted. in spite of the
uproar and booting. in declaring honest
men were arrestml yesterday. This was
followed with shouts of "Down with
Loubet," and a scene of wild excitement
ensued.
President Deschanel ordered M. de
Largentaye to withdraw, but the latter
refused, and the session was suspended.
while the commanding oflicer of the
Palais Bourbon, with a squad of sol-
diers, escorted M. de Largentaye from
the room.
Prior to the vote being taken M.
Denys Cochin. Conservative. asked that
the letter of the government demanding;
the prosecution of General Mercier
should be communicated to the house.
The premier replied that it saddened
him to take the steps deemed necessary
and explained that the trial of M. De-
roulede was not conducted in a seemly
manner, instancing the fact that M. De—
roulede was permitted to pronounce a
long diatribe against President Loubet
in regard to the verdict of the court of
cessation, which showed that some per-
sons had incurred responsibilities which
must be explained.
First there was the case of Du Paty
de Clam and then the communication of
the secret documents of the court mar-
tial having been attributed to General
Mercier, and the government believed it
to be its duty to ask the chamber to say
if the prosecution should be undertaken.
The municipal council yesterday after-
noon discusscd the Auteuil affair, and
M. Blane, prefect of police, announced
that 50 of those arrested would be prose--
He is a Pana-
cuted for insulting the president. He ani- ‘
madverted severely upon the cowardice
of Count Christiani, who now pretends
that he struck the president by accident
in his attempt to escape from the melee.
The counsel unanimously adopted a reso-
lution expressing its abhorrcnce of the in-
sulting demonstration and its respectful
sympathy with and confidence in M.
Loubet.
Count and Countess Boni dc Castellane
declare that there is no truth in the
statement that the countess was mixed
up in the rioting on the Auteuil race
course Sunday. The countess was disa-
greeably surprised to see her name con-
nected with the affair. The story origi-
nally appeared in La I‘resse of this city.
which said it had received the informa-
tion from a source usually reliable.

States at Variance Shall Each Choose
a Power, to -Whlch Dispute-Shall
Be Referred and Every Effort
For Settlement Put Forth.
.THE HAGUE, June 6.—The arbitra-
tion committee of the peace conference
held a meeting yesterday under the
chairmanship of M. Leon Beurgeois.
Mr. Andrew D. W’hite, head of the Unit-
ed States delegation; Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, head of the British delegation, and
M. de Staal, head of the Russian delega-
tion, with all the members of the com-
mittee, were present.
After M. Bourgeois had made a sym-
pathetic reference to the death of Miss
Roth, daughter of Dr. Roth, head of the
Swiss delegation, who was killed 'in a
railway accident last Thursday at Flush-
ing, the secretary of the drafting com-
mittee read the draft scheme of media-
tion it had had under consideration.
Articles 1 and,2 are declaratory, to the
reflect that the signatory powers. in order
to prevent a recourse to force, have
agreed to effect pacific solutions of differ-
ences and will, except in exceptional cir-
cumstances, before an appeal to force,
have recourse to the mediation of one or
more friendly powers.
Article 3 reads as follows:
“Independently of a recourse to such
amicable means the signatories deem it
expedient that one or more powers not
concerned in the conflict should offer of
its or their own initiativcjand so far as
circumstances will permit its or their
good offices of mediation to the states at
variance. The right to offer good ollices
of mediation belongs to powers not con-
cerned in the conflict, even during the
course of actual hostilities, and the exer-
cise of this right can never be considered
by the parties at variance as an un-
friendly act.”
Article 4 provides that the role of me—
diator shall consist in the reconciliation
of conflicting claims and the allaying of
bitterness between states at 'ariance.
Article 5, defining the limitations of
the functions of a mediator, says theso
shall cease on the moment when it is
stated by one of the parties to the dis-
pute or by the mediator that the arrange-
ment or the bases of a friendly under-
standing proposed by him is accepted.
Article 6 says that the good offices con-
templated, either at the instance of the
parties at variance or on the initiative of
uninvolved powers, are exclusively of the
character of friendly counsel.
Article ’7 asserts:
“Acceptance of mediation cannot have
the effect, except by virtue of a conven-
tion to the contrary, of interrupting or re-
tarding or hampering mobilization or
other preparations for war. It mediation
intervenes after the opening of hostilities,
it shall not interrupt, except by virtue of
a convention to the contrary, military op-
eration in course of execution.”
Article 8 reads as follows:
“The signatories are in accord to rec-
ommend. in all circumstances permitting
it, special mediation in the following
form: '
"In the event of grave differences,
threatening peace the states at variance
shall choose respectively a‘ power to
which each shall confide the mission of
entering into direct relations with the
power chosen by the other side in order
to prevent a rupture of friendly relations.
During the currencyof their mandate,
which, except in the event of a stipula—
tion to the contrary, shall not exceed 30
days, the question in dispute shall be
considered as referred exclusively to
these powers. They shall apply all their
cfiorts to settle the dispute, and in the
event of an actual rupture of friendly rc<
lations shall remain charged with the
mission of taking advantage of every 0c-
casion to restore peace.”
The draft was adopted without modifi-
cation, although the committee stipulated
that it should be subject to modifications
at the second reading.
The naval section of the armaments
committee has unanimously rejected the
Russian proposals.

tion at Garner-ville. The four 0 cials

Americans Are Advancing Across the
Peninsula - A’ Rough Country
Traversed—The Supreme
Court Sworn In.
MANILA, June 6.—-Geueral Hall’s
command advanced yesterday morning
and occupied Morong without opposition
or notable incident. Colonel tholley had
a little fight at Morong Sunday, and the
Americans found nine dead and five
wounded Filipinos upon occupying the
place. The Americans suffered no losses.
Five days' rations are being distributed
among the American troops who are ad-
vancing and maintaining a nearly contin-
uous line across Morong peninsula south
of this city. The hospital tugs returned
last night with 500 men suffering from
the effects of the heat.
The gunboat Cavadonga was struck by
a shot from an insurgent cannon at a
range of 3,500 yards. She signaled to the
Napidau, which came up. and both boats
shelled the enemy for 15 minutes, silenc-
ing their guns.
Several escapes of insurgents through
the lines are reported to have been made
during the night. The unevenness of the
country prevents the maintenance of a
complete cordon of American troops. The
Mateo valley wires have been cut contin—
ually by the enemy and finally abandon-
ed by the Americans, communication be-
ing kept up via Pasig.
The roughest country traversed by the
American troops is in the vicinity of An-
tipolo. 'l‘ransportation chr it is impos-
sible, and even the signal service wagons
had to be abandoned. Five Chinamen in
the signal service employ deserted, and
the remaining men were unable to carry
the wires. Sergeant W'adak, with a wire
repairing party, wasz-cut off behind the
lines by the enemy. Lieutenant Gibbs,
with a handful of signalmcn. rushed to
\Vadak‘s rescue and succeeded in rout—
ing the enemy who opposed his return.
First Lieutenant Hawthorne of Bat-
tcry E, First artillery, was unable to
proceed, owing to the impassable condi-
tion of the country, and was compelled to
burn his wagons, artillery and ammuni-
tion to prevent their falling into the
hands of the enemy.
The supreme court was sworn yester-
day, and the inferior court will take the
oath today. Both courts will begin work
immediately.
Will "Not Pasture Sheep.
WASHINGTON, June 6.—Aftcr con-
sultation with the secretary of the interi-
or Commissioner Hermann of the general
land office has decided to refuse the re-
quest of the wool growers of Utah and
\Vyoming for a modification of his for-
mer order prohibiting the grazing of
sheep on the Uintah reservation in Utah.
The reservation contains 875,000 acres,
and there were petitions from the owners
of about 2,000,000 sheep for the opening
of the reservation to them. The depart-
ment’s refusal was based upon the re-
ports of the superintendents of the park
that sheep would destroy the young for-
est trees and thus impair the water sup-
ply.

PARIS, June 5.—-—President Loubet, ac-
companied by the premier, M. Dupuy,
and the chief of the military household,
General M. C. Bailloud, drove to the
Auteuil races yesterday afternoon, close-
ly followed by Mme. Loubet in a second
landau. As they drove along the Avenue
des Champs Elysees the crowd bowed
respectfully, but on arriving at Auteuil
they were met by a violent demonstra-
tion, evidently
against the president.
There was a storm of boots, yells and
cries of “Panama!” “A bus Loubet!”
and “Vive l’armee!” A few shouts of
“Vivc Loubet!” were drowned in the .
clamor.
A strong force of police kept order and
arrested many of the disturbers, includ-
ing a man who tried to force his way to
the president’s carriage.
During the second race the clamor in-
creased to violence and was plainly di-
rected by a committee of the League of
Patriots. collected with. their supporters
both before and behind the presidential
stand, around which a formidable alfray
proceeded.
During the grand steeplechase many "
blows were struck. and several police-
men were injnred in their endeavors to
prevent an invasion of the presidential
stand.
At the crisis of the excitement. while
shouts of "Vive l'armcel” and "Vive I :
roulede!" were heard on all sides. Con :
Christiani rushed toward the presidei"
brandishing a stick, and directed it blew
against him, striking his hat.
The crowd rushed upon Christiani. wi-
only escaped severe handling by bein.
taken under police protection,
President Loubct remained all th'
while quite unmoved, talking to the prt
mier, while the otlicers of his militar;
household were defending him agains:
violence.
Finally, after 30 arrests had beer
made, the prefect of police ordered the
Republican guards to surround the pres-
idential stand. _ .
The principal leaders of the demonstra-
tion were M. Joseph Lasies, anti-Semite‘
and Nationalist deputy for Gers, and M.
Firmin Faure, anti-Semite and National-
ist deputy for Oran, Algeria.
Police Inspector Grilliere had his head
seriously wounded in the melee, and
President. Loubct has since decorated,
him with the cross of the Legion of
Honor in recognition of his devotion to
duty.
On returning to the Elysee palace M.
Loubet received many sympathizing call-
ers. '
It seems certain that the demonstration,
was organized by the Jennesse Royaliste,
the Ligue des Patriotes and the anti-
Semites, the rallying sign being a car-
nation in the buttonhole.
Count Christiani is a member of the
Steeplechase society, a very select body.
and his conduct has produced the great; I
est indignation.
Comtesse Boni de Castcllane, who was I

placed herself at the head of the quncssc
Royaliste and marched up and down the
lawn shouting "\‘ive l‘armee!” Comte"
Boni de Castellane and his brother Jean
were arrested. but soon liberated.
A special cabinet council was summon—
ed at 9 o'clock last evening to consider
the situation, and important measures
were concerted to be submitted to the
president at another council today for
the preservation of order. The. ministers,
who were in session until fl o’clock,
maintain strict reserve as to the nature
of these measures, but a semioificial note
has been issued, which says:
“The government will act with the’
greatest energy aad will impose respect
for the president and for the state."
The events of the day will lead to an
important discussion in the chamber of
deputies. where the government will de-
mand a vote of confidence.

prosecutor to send to his residence
