No Canned Meat Fed the Army—Des- titute Cubans Ate That—No Dissat- isfaction Over. the Refrigerated and Fresh Beet Furnished. HAVANA, April 8.——The Cuban gen- erals met yesterday at Marianao and officially decided to reinstate General Maximo Gomez as commander in chief. They also decided to appoint an execu- tive board of three generals to assist him in distributing the $3,000,000, in the details of disarming and in the organi- zation of the rural police for the prov- inces. He will be officially notified of their action, and a proclamation will probably be issued to the Cubans. General Rafael Portuondo, chairman of the executive committee of the for- mer military assembly, called upon Governor General Brooke in- the after- noon and discussed with him the recent actions of the assembly leading up to its dissolution. He did not offer the Cu- ban muster rolls directly, though it has been intimated by several former mem- ‘bers of the assembly that these are at the disposition of the military authori- ties whenever they are wanted. The Americans, however, will not make any requests of the assembly’s executive committee. The situation in this respect has been outwardly unchanged in the last two days, though it is understood, that today will bring fresh develop— ments Major General Wilson, military gov- ernor of the department of Matanzas, says in the course of a private letter that all the Cubans formerly in arms in the Matanzas province are now under- stood to be in industrial employ. Four thousand one hundred cans of beef have been destroyed at the Regla warehouse during the last three months without action on the part of boards of survey—one lot of 900 cans, another of 1,500 and a third of 1,700——-under the di- rection of Chief Commissary A. L. Smith and in accordance with the regu- lations allowing such action when the public health is menaced. Some addi- tional thousands of cans have been de- stroyed after official survey, besides the 10,800 cans that were condemned when Inspector General Breckinridge was here. No canned meat has been issued to the troops in Cuba, who have been sup- plied with fresh or refrigerated meat, the canned beef going to the Cuban des- From them there has been ap- parently no complaint. In fact they have been eager to get it. The recently issued taxation decree lays $2,000,000 less of imposts upon Ha- vana, while still leaving a greater reve~ nue for the city, as none is now applied to the purposes of the general govern- ment. Evidences multiply that the National Cuban party and the Liga Patriotica will soon effect a. union and proceed jointly to organize the party of Cuban independence. All such efforts are pre- mature, but they are harmless, and they are convincing the peOer that there can be no proper organization on the basis of a national convention until a census has been taken. Senor Domin- go Capote, secretary of government, is working on a plan for the census, but this is still in its preliminary stages. President Names Warships. WASHINGTON, April 8.——The presi— dent yesterday named the 12 new war— ships recently provided by congress, as follows: Battleships—Pennsylvania, New Je1‘-. sey and Georgia. Armored cruisers—West Virginia, Ne- braska and California. Cruisers—Denver, Des Moines Chat- tanooga, Galveston Tacoma and Cleve- land. Petitions by the hundred have been flowing into the White House and navy department ever since the new ships were provided urging the merits of va- rious names. \Ve Are Fornlully Invited. “'ASHINGTON. April S.—The state department yesterday received the formal invitation from the government 3 of the Netherlands to participate in the disarmament conference to be held at The Hague beginning May 18. Up to this time the only thing in the nature of an invitation issued to the powers was he letter from the czar, and it is un- derstood that some friction, caused by 'the objection of the Italian govern- ment to the extension of an invitation to the pope to participate, has delayed the issue of the formal invitations.

LONDON, April 7.——Thc Daily Chron- iclc this morning prints the text of' three letters alluded to by Examining Magistrate Bertulus' before the court of cessation which Major 00th Ester- hazy addressed to President Faure un- der dates of Oct. 29 and 31, 1897, and Nov. 5, 189?, letters which Esterhazy alleges were dictated to him by Colo- nel du Paty de Clam. The first letter complains that he'has been victimized by the Dreyfusites and that the minister of war has ignored his appeal for protection. He goes on to beg M. Faure to put an end to the Randal and says: “Will not the supreme head of my country dare to speak out loud and strong and to defend the honor of ten generations of soldiers? It is for you, M. 1e President, to judge if you should force me to carry the question into that region. An Esterhazy fears not any- thing or anybody if not good. Nothing and nobody will prevent me acting, as I say, if I am sacrificed to I know not what miserable political combinations.” The second letter; couched in more violent terms, complains that M. Faure has ignored his appeal and threatens to pubi'sh a pl10t0g1ap-h. of “a paper stolen by Pirmmt in :1 fm lib n legation, which would be most compiomising £01 cer- tain diplomatic ,personages," if his ap- peals a1 0 dismgaided. ' ludes again to thi s document as a pro- tection f01 hints; if and says, “Do not leave to me the obligation of choosing between alternatives equally horrible.” After further violent protestations, the third lettc: concludes as follons: “I raise the old French C13, ‘Help me, my prince! To my sum“ 11’ Let me be defended, and I will send back the doc- ument to the minister of war without anybody in the world having seen it, but let me be defended quickly, for I cannot wait longer and shall stop at nothing to defend 0r avenge my honor, infa— mously sacrificed.’ ” A TRIP TO ENGLAND. Sampson to Slunv John Bull Four of Our Finest Armorclmls. NEW YORK, April 7.—Na.‘.'al officials at the navy yard in Brooklyn heard from Washington yesterday that Presi- dent McKinley and Secretary Long had paid another mark of respect to Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, com- manding the north Atlantic squadron, by selecting'him to represent the United States at a. reception which it is said will be given to the American navy at Southampton in May next. According to the statements made in the yard, ! Rear Admiral Sampson is to take four of the vessels that took a prominent part in the recent war to Southampton.- ' These vessels will be the cruiser New York, his flagship; the cruiser Brook— lyn, in command of Captain Cook; the battleship Indiana, in command of Cap- tain Taylor, and the battleship Massa- chusetts, in command of Captain Nicoll _Ludlow. The news from Washington was divulged, it was said, when the leave the navy yard at 5 o’clock this morning to join the north Atlantic squadron at Trinidad were received. The Duke of York, it is said, will have full charge of the reception to be given to the American fleet. “As I understand the programme,” said one of the officers, “the squadron of four vessels under Rear Admiral Sampson will remain at Southampton until July, when the annual maneuvers of the British navy will take place. The squadron will not return. to this port see four of the finest vessels that ever fired a. shell.” New Huytinn Import Tux.
