The Agricultural Board of Matunnan 2
Is Planning to Relieve Small
Farmers by an Allotment of
Money, Stock and Tools.
HAVANA, June ”II—General Maximo
Gomez, the former commander in chief
of the Cuban army, issued his fareWcll
manifesto yesterday. In part it says:
"The commission I have been intrusted
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-
tend to necessary private business.
“A parting word to the pcople‘for whom ‘
I have sacrificed 30 years of my life and
to my friends in the army just disband-
ed, which action should have been taken
instantly after the removal of the
bloody weight of Spain’s merciless re-
gime: W'e no longer want soldiers, but
men for the maintenance of peace and
order, which are the basis of Cuba’s fu--
ture welfare.
“\Ve wanted and depended upon foreign
interventibn to terminate the war. This
occurred at the most terrible moment of
our contest and resulted in Spain’s de-
feat. But none of us thought this ex-
traordinary event would be followed by
our allies, who treat us as a people in-
capable of acting for ourselves and who
have reduced us to obedience, to submis-
sion and to a tutelage imposed by force
of circumstances. .
“This cannot be our ultimate fate after
the years of struggle, and we should aid
by every pacific method in finishing the
work 00f 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
most part consider it an affecting ad- '
‘ dress, 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
yirtually writes the. greate: part of what
Gomez issues to the public, though in
this instance probably a third was writ-
ten by Gomez himself.
The agricultural board of Matanzas
has submitted a plan for the distribution
of the $25,000 which General “'ilson,
military governor of the Matanzas-Santa
Clara department, has appropriated to
relieve small farmers. The scheme pro-
poses an allotment of $100 as expenses
for five months ahd 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 and Americans that those
who do not share in. the allotment will
make trouble.

WASHINGTON, June 7.—The secre-
tary of state and Mrs. Hay last night

sonal friends of the host and of the
guests of honor. It was the first appear—
ance of the minister in official society
here since his appointment, and a partic-
ular effort was made that this initial en-
tertainment should‘be a pleasant one.
The decorations were in green and white,

ter of the table. '

CUBAN DISARMAMENT.
Colonel Figueroa Urges the Soldier-
Not to Give Up Arms.
HAVANA, June 6.—Colonel Figueroa
of the...Cuban infantry in Havana prov-
.; ince in a letter to the Spanish edition of
La Lucha passionately appeals to the "
, soldiers who were mustered out last week
to refuse to give up their arms and ac-
cept the Americti’n gratuity. He de-
l nounces those who act contrary to such
. advice as “cowards” and "voluntary out—
casts.” He says:
“The offer made by the United States
insults the honor of the army of libera-
tion, which did not desert its posts even
‘ in terrible battle, and is a disgrace to the
graves, of soldiers who died covered with
glory. I do not doubt the sincerity" of the
American promises, but if this money is
offered as a gift, why do not the Ameri—
cans buy plows and oxen with it instead
of insisting upon the delivery of our
arms. Guard, therefore, the flag, which
will be mine through life and be defend-
ed by my saber, which will be unsheath—
ed until the consecratiofil'of our inde-
pendence or the necessity. arises for re—
turning a Titanic stroke.”
Payments at Gnines were rushed yes-
terday until the total number of Cuban
troops paid there amounted to 570. Judge
Sanchez reports that a small farmer near
Havana has made a declaration that four
armed men appeared at his house Sun-
day night and demanded $250. He was
unable to pay this amount, but under
threats gave them $40.

‘ A‘Note 'Fr‘om Afidree.
CHRISTIANIA, June 6.——According
to a dispatch from Manda], the most
southern town of Norway, two boys on
May 1-1 last found on the north coast of
Iceland a small cork case, containing a
slip of paper, dated July 11, 1897, signed
“Andree, Strindberg and F raenckel” and
