EOMEZ' RIDICULES THEIR ACTIONS.
Says He "lino‘vs but One Powar In
the Island—Thinks Asselnbly In’
Pursuing Its Present Course
to Secure More Money.
HAVANA, March 15.—~Gencral Gomez
says he recognizes only one power in
the island—that of the United States.
All that the Cubans can do, he declares,
is by permission of the American au-
thorities, and therefore the military as—
sembly can only talk- In his opinion
the assembly is acting as it does he-
. cause iit wants to get more money out.
of the United States. In this connection
he points out‘that the assembly first
proposed to ask $80,000,000. As for him-"
self, he avers that he is not a beggar.
The United States government offered
the $3,000,000, and he has never asked
an increase in the gift. Indeed, he says,
to ask more would be undignified and
improper. To all callers General Go-
mez speaks lightly of the assembly, de-
claring that it was his creation, as he‘
did not wish to appear a dictator, and
~that the real military in mbers who
took no part in the vote to depose him
will now resign. He calls-the assembly
“a collection of black clouds, with much
thunder, but little rain.”
He did not communicate with Gen-
eral Brooke yesterday, but will conf%_
fully today. .
The military assembly met yesterday
with the ,ordinary guard. Most of the
time was occupied in discussing the\
pronouncement which is to be issued
‘with a view of justifying last Satur-
day’s action in the eyes of the people.
General Sanguily introduced a motion
protesting against the acceptance of the
$3,000,000, preceding it with a long pre—
amble declaring that the assembly was
ready to co-operate with the United
States ,in maintaining order in Cuba.
The motion called for the adoption of
three resolutions “in the name of the
armed people of Cuba.” The first ex-
tended the"thanks-of the assembly to
the United States for aid during the re-
cent war. The second thanked the
United States for the offer of $3,000,000,
but went on to assert that “owing to
the assembly’s exact knowledge of the
needs of the Cuban soldiers its mem-
bers consider it their duty to declare
theflamount insufficient.”
“We cannot honorably accept it as a
gift, but only as a loan,” the resolution
proceeded, “as President McKinley’s
authorization is necessary to raise funds
needed to accomplish the disarming of
the Cuban troops and exclusively used
for this purpose.” The third resolution
appointed a committee of three to pre—
sent these conclusions to President Mc-
Kinley. General Sanguily’s motion was
carried by 18 votes against 4.
he ”document of justification” was
then read, It is very long and cites
cases to show the disobedience of Gen-
eral Gomez to the assembly, declaring
that those familiar ‘with the inner his:
tory of the war knew that strained re-
lations always existed between him and
the Cuban civil authority. It. reviews
his interview with Mr. Robert Porter
and lays stress upon the fact that Go—
mez has virtually ignored the assembly
during the last two months. The docu-
ment is in effect a eulogy of the mem-
bers of the assembly, a declaration that
- tr. ey have done their duty.
The document was finally accepted
by acclamation, the assembly deciding
to print 10,000 copies, after which it
went into secret session, presumably to
discuss means to obtain funds for meet-
ing the expenses at Washington of the
committee ap ointed to present the res-
olutions, Senores Villalon, I-Iovia and
Despaigne. These men were really se-
lected during former secret sessions. If
their traveling expenses are assured,
they will proceed to Washington nomi-
nally to hand the resolutions ,to Presi-
dent McKinley, but really, it is said, to
negotiate the mysterious loan which has
been the subject of the private sessions.
Not Villanxil After All.
WASHINGTON, March 15.——The sec-
retary of the navy yesterday afternoon
received the following telegram from
. Assistant Engineer Porter, dated Port-
‘land, Or., March 14: ”Relnains found in
chair about four miles west of Santiago
as reported in today’s papers not those
of Villamil, but of Spanish seaman. Re—
poart follows by mail?” The officer from
whom the above message was received
was an engineer on board the Glouces-
ter,.{which was the instrument that de-
. stroyed the ill fated Pluton, on board of
which Admiral Villamil Started from
Santiago.
Counteri’citcrs Arrested. .
BOSTON, March 15. —— Government
agents, assisted bythe local police, have
arrested eight persons, all Italians, on
the charge of -passing counterfeit $5
treasury notes. The secret service men
believe the notes were made in New
York and sent to this city to be passed.
They have obtained between $5,000 and
$10,000 worth of bad paper. The arrests
were very cleverly made, seven in» this
city and one in Lynn.

just been dra n' for a new gold vault
for the clean g house. It will enable
the banks. of New York to put away and

ITALYV’S CHINESE MOVEMENT.
Does Not Wish to Resort to Violence
or Disturb Equilibrium.
ROME, March 15.—In the chamber of
deputies yesterday Admiral Canevaro,
minister of foreign affairs, made a com-
prehensive statement regarding Italy’s
action in China. He confirmed the re-
ported recall of Signor Martino; Italian
minister at Peking, and announced that
Italy had obtained the approval of
Great Britain and Japan before de—
manding the concession at San—Mun.
Great Britain, however, had requested,
he said, that force shouldnot be em—
ployed and had promised -in return to
give her diplomatic supportt‘o Italy at
the court of Peking.‘ Other friendly
powers, the minister continued, were
then notified and indicated their ac—
quiescence. '
Admiral Canevaro then covered
events already‘known, explaining that
Signor Martino’s action had been dis-
avowed because his ultimatum con-
travened an agreement with England
that only in the event of Sir Claude
Macdonald, British minister at Peking,
being unable to induce the tsung-li-
'yamen to take back Signor Martino's
first note'should Italy resume liberty of
action in order to' obtain reparation.
.He expressed confidence in the ultimate
success of Italy’s policy and reminded
the chamber that Italy’s duty was to
ref-rain from force so far as possible,
since she' had gone to China without
any previous provocative ,incident or
violated rights to justify a resort to
violence,-which might, if adopted, dis—
turb the international equilibrium in
the far east and exercise a fatal reflex
action in Europe, besides injuring Great
Britaih,‘ who had proved herself Italy’s
cordial friend, and exposing to conflict
other powers that had shown them—
selves the wellwishers of Italy.
Comlnittee Favors Pure Beer.
ALBANY, March 15.—The committee

neck’s bill compelling the‘z-ter ma agers

ing a performanceor entertainment.
German-"Naval Changes.
-BEP.LIN, March 15.—The official Na-
val Gazette publishes an imperial order
reorganizing the higher administration
of the navy. Henceforth the emperor
holds supreme command, and the office
of commander in chief therefore lapses,
and the existing staff of the commander
in chief becbmes independent under the
title of admirals’ staff. The chief of the ,
navy becomes directly subordinate to"
the emperor, and the admirals’ staff,
besides. its ordinary duties, will occupy
itself with the political aspects of the
presence of German warships abroad.

zens of the commonwealth.” .

NEW HAVEN, March 14.—As thé
outcome ”of alleged persecution, oi
which, it is stated, a well known citi-
"nen of amden was the instigator, Miss
Maud I—Iauff of this city, who has been
teaching a. district school in Hamden
since last fall, is in a critical condition
from an attempt at suicide. The per-
secution, it is said, has been going on
for the past two months, and Thursday Z
last she learned that charges aspersing .
her character were made,to the school
committee. This so harassed her that
Saturday she became insane, and it was
necessary to put a guard over her, and
she was locked in her room in Ham-
den. '
Sunday night Miss Hauff eluded her
watchers, and, clad only scantily, start-
ed for themill pond’ to drown herself.
After a long quest she was found not
far from the pond lying unconscious in
a snowban'k. She had stumbled over a
stone wall in the dark, and the fall had
rendered her unconscious. 'Though in
a precarious condition, -her reason has
been restored, which the doctor in at-
tendance ascribes to her involuntary
snow bath. The town is considerably
worked up over the affair, and it is
probable that action will be‘ brought
against those who are‘ considered her
persecutors. . -

THE PEOPLE FOR GO‘M'EZ.
A Great Demonstration In His Honor
at Havana.
HAVANA, March 14.—The demon“
stration by the people yesterday after-
noon in favor of General Gomez and
against the Cuban assembly was an
imposing spectacle. Over 50,000 persons
paraded the streets in an orderly man-
ner, shouting “Long live Gomez!” and
“Down with the assembly!” Many 01
the houses were decorated with Cuban
and American flags and pictures oi
General Gomez. ‘
General Gomez ascended to the tor .
of the Quinta and delivered an ad-
dress, but his voice could be heard by
only a few of the. people, his words be-
ing drowned by constant shouts of
“Long live Gomez!” In the crowd were
a. number of carriages occupied by
ladies, who waved their handkerchiefe
to the old general. He was plainly af-
fected by the affection shown for him
by the people.
In his address he said: “My friends,
Irdo not deserve all this, but I accept
your kind demonstration not as a sol-
dier deposed by the assembly, but as a
man who loves Cuba, who has worked
for her good and who has acted only for
reconstruction, peace and order. I do not
believe that any Cuban is my enemy. I
fought for your liberty. Why Will not
all of you now work with me for peace
and happiness and the reconstruction
of your devastated country? That is
the only way to realize your hopes of
» being free and independent.”
necessity for immediate action has been ;
brought to the attention of the war de-
partment on account of the quarantine
regulations against Cuba which go into
effect about the 1st of May and which
are especially strict at all southern
ports. When the troops are brought to
this country, they must under the law
be mustered out - in United States
camps, and they no doubt will be
brought to camps nearest their homes.
It is desired also to have them brought
to places where fumigating can be done.

NEW YORK, March 14.—The stock-
holders of t. 2 Corn Exchange bank and
the,Astor Place bank met yesterday,

proved. The Hudson River bank was

the Spanish commander in the Philip-

ing the government with the fact that

patch says also: “I am told that the

icans and the Filipinos I await the or-
ders of the government.”
