General Brooke May Return

Assault CONCEALS AAA-ll ROLLS.
Gomez Says He Is Tired of the Jan-
» gle and That the Cuban People Do
Not Appreciate What the Unit-
ed States Is Doing- For 'I‘hexn.
HAVANA, March 31.—Governor Gen,-
eral Brooke has almost made up his
mind to send the $3,000,000 back to the
United States‘if the Cuban military as-
sembly does not give up the army rolls.
"‘¥ou may as well do so and not trifle
much longer," said Secretary Alger
when discussing the matter two days
ago i conference with General Brooke
and eneral Gomez. The latter said
that such a course would serve the as-
sembly right.
Anyway, the impression is spreading
that the governor general may return
the money to *vVashingt-on, and it is
stirring up fresh feeling again-it the as-
sembly. General Ernst called upon the
Cuban general Rafael Portuondo, chair—
man of the executive committee of the
rssembly, three days ago and asked for
2he rolls. “Do you come from General
Brooke?” asked Portuondo. “Yes,” re-
plied General Ernst. “Officially or un—
officially?” “I come unoificiaily," an—
swered the American. officer. “Then I
cannot give them up,” retorted Portu—
ondo. “I. can only do so on official rec-
ognition.” , _
A file of United States troops would
probably be sent to take the I‘OllS‘if the
military administration knew exactly
where they were, but there is a feeling
that a mistake might be made and the
administration be placed in the light of
overanxiety and possibly laughed at.
In the course of a conversation with
an old friend from Santo Domingo yes-
terdayGeneral Gomez said: ‘
“I am ready to go home. I am tired
of this jangle with the assembly. I haVe
learned something about this people
which I did not know before. They are
an ungrateful people. They do not ap—
preciate what the United States gov—
ernment is doing for them—a service in
which I am assisting.
“These assembly commissioners have
run off again to the United States to
beg for money while I, who have a wife
in Santo Domingo, have not enough
money to bring her here, but there I
have a. house and might be sure of
enough to live on. I am old and tired,
and I feel like going back."
Although the meat taxes have been

GERMAll‘i WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL.
Is Considered. Strung-e That Nothing
Has Been Heard Oflicially From
Our Representatives In Re-
gard to the Bombardment.
WASHINGTON, March 31—The seri—
ous condition of affairs in Samoa en-
gaged the attention of officials through-
out yesterday, and there were confer-
ences at the White House between .the
president and Secretary Hay and at the
state department between the secretary
and the British embassador and Baron
Speck von Sternberg, first secretary 'of
the German embassy, but out of it all
not a word of additional information
was contributed from . any official
source. The only authoritative state-
ment came from the navy department,
giving a brief dispatch from Admiral
Kautz. This threw no light on the
latest outbreak, and owing to a. tangle
of dates it served only to further in-
volve the official mystery.
In‘~ view of the fact that the fighting
was widespread and long continued and
that the foreign offices at London and
Berlin had been oficially advised of the
affair, it was regarded as somewhat
strange that the state and navy de-
partments should be entirely without
information on a bombardment by an
American admiral.
Up to the close of office hours it was
stated that nothing had come from any
of our representatives in Samoa dealing
with the outbreak of hostilities. The
calls of.Sir Julian Pauncefote and Bar-
on Sternberg were mainly for informa-
tion, for at neither of the embassies had
there been a report of the occurrence
or instructions up to the time of the
calls.
A GERMAN VIEW.
News From Samoa. a. Surprise—Ger-
nlnny ‘iVill Remain Neutral.
BERLIN, March 31.—The German
government was taken wholly by sur—
prise with the news from Samoa. The
imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe,
is spending his birthday, which occurs
today, at Baden Baden, and the minis-
ter of foreign affairs, Baron von Bue—
low, is enjoying a fortnight’s vaca-
tion in Holstein, but a. well informed in-
dividual says the government =.here is
skeptical as to Admiral Kautz’s in-
structions. He adds that the instruc-
tions for a bombardment were based on
the British and American claims that
Mataafa was contravening the Samoa
act, but, the correspondent’s informant
points out, the contravention was not
specified, and the government presumes
that if the act was really infringed
Herr Rose, the German consul, would
also have protested, as his government
had instructed him to strictly conform
to the act..
The assertion that Herr Rose protest-
ed against the depositioulof the provi—
sional government is doubted here, as,
it is claimed, Herr Rose was instructed
not to identify himself with Mataafa
more closely than the representatives of
the other powers.
There is considerable curiosity in this
city as to the effect the outbreak will
have upon ‘the attitude of the United
States and Great Britain, but the view
remains that the 'final settlement will
be in no way changed by the outbreak
of hostilities, but must be arranged by
the joint action of the three cabinets.
The smiofhcial Post comments calmly
upon the new situation and says that
Germany will remain neutral.

To Do.

is not strange that Smith’s
. Green Mountain Reno-
vator is popular. It has
cured thousands, who daily
sing its praise. Perhaps it
is"a trifle more remarkable
that it is endorsed almost
as highly by practising phy-
siciuu II by the many peo-
ple Whom it has saved from
early graves.
= Hatch, M. D., Kansas City, Mo, which reach-
ing us unsolicited as it. does, is indeed worthy
of being given to the public. .
Dr. Hatch writes as follows :-— ,
“Gentlemenz—I write you to say that I
could send volumes of testimonials fhom
patients I have cured of different complaints
by the use of Smith’s Green Mountain Reno-
vator. In all cases where I'liave recommerided
it, it has never failed to effect a cure. GIVE n
A PAIR TRIAL, AND I WILL roursrr $500.00 w
A CURE Is NOT nrrncrED. it is the best blood
purifier and nerve builder that ever came under
my observation, and I take pride, and I think
it my duty to recommend it. I congratulate
you, gentlemen, that. you are proprietors 01
such a remedy, which is bound to establish a
record for itself unsurpassed by any medicine
on the market. Wishing you every success, 1
, remain, Very sincerely yours,
' J. A. HATCH, M. D.
Dr. Hatch has recognized that Smith’s Green
Mountain ii-enovator is a. wonderful ally or
- which we may depend for the restoration .1“
l health and for the prevention of disease um?
' death. He knows, as many others have learned
by and experience, that nine tenths, ' ("it 'sz
ills may be directly attributed to impure *3 ,.,..:
no matter how these impurities got into ;E_;-:
blood. ,
No matter whether the blood has become
poisoned through contact with others suffering
from blood diseases, or Whether it is a. case
' where these poisons were inherited at time oi
birth,——-to all who realize that they have blood
disorders, we recommend that no time should
be lost, as these’diseases often slumber for
years, and suddenly crop out in ’9. manner that
is a menace to health and life.
Not only that, but when blood diseases show
' themselves, the sufferer becomes an object oi
pity to every one with whom he comes in corn
tact, as the nature of the disease will be written
plainly on his features. ‘
Perhaps another fact that has led Dr. Hatch
to so strongly rec0mnlcnd this remedy is that
it was originally a. prescription of a well-
known physician, who over forty years ago
. prescribed it, since which time it has been
accomplishing its mission of good.
And now, today, that it 13 being placed upon,
the, market by the St. Albans Remedy 00.,
exactly as it was originally prescribed by Dr.
Mack, the public may rest assured that its
‘ great mission of restoring health and “vine
l life, has hardly yet reached its zenith. , " " “"‘
