taxpayers penerally join them in the
prosecution of vigorous non-sectarian
and non-partisan movement for n unici-
pal reform. The proclamation is an out.
growth of the defalcation from the city
treasurer's office. Maly city officials were
shown to have drawn their salaries far

city money was being used by contracts

THE BURNING OF A TOWN
Last Deed Of the Cuban Insurgent
Gomez
It Would Have Been Folly for the Besieged
to Have Offered Any Resistance to
the Raiders

HAVANA, June 28.-The facts about
the raid and the burning of San Geronimo
are learned more in detail today. San
Geronimo is the most flourishing village
in the province of Puerto Principe.
About O'Clock in the evening Maxine
Gomez appeared in San Geronimo at the
head OF 1900 men. He sent to the COM
mander of the village, saying that he
must surrender or run the risk of being
killed, either by bullets or fire. The Span
ish commander. Lieutenant Laborde, tore
the note to pieces, replying, Tell him
to come at once and do what he pleases;
that a Sapinard will never surrender"
Addressing his men he said: "Soldiers,
get ready" Throughout the night these
men waited to be attacked. The families
of the citizens, aware of Gomez's presence
in the neighborhood. left the town.
Meanwhile the rain was falling in tor
rents. The in7urgents allowed the
women and children of the families to
pass out of the city but held the man H.
side. At sunrise Gomez ordered the
lieutenant that he had the town sur
rounded and that he must surrender int
mediately. Afterwards the mayor return
ed saying:
"Under no circumstances will he sur
Iender.'
Gomez then gave an order for 400 of his
cavalry to dismount and attack the place.
AT the same time they advanced toward
the town and ordered their prisoners to
set fire to the nearest houses. Gomez was
heard to say, 1.-The officer is a brave
man. He will not surrender IN spite of
shooting and fire."N
He then commanded that the whole
town should be burned. The fire in
creased rapidly through the town and the
fort in which tho garrison was quartsred
was already burning. The troops kept
firing until suffocated by the smoke, when
the mayor lifted white flag and the in
surgents' pugle gave the signal to stop
firing. Lieutenant Laborda lieutenant
OF the guerllas, fifty soldiers of the gar
rison and twenty-five guerillas came for
ward. and agreeing with Gomez as to the
terms of the surrender delivered their
arms and ammunition. The Marquis of
Santa Lucia and Maxine Gomez en-
braced Lieutenant Laborda. saying to
him: "You can shout 'Vive Espana'
because you are a worthy defender OF
her.
The officers and soldiers. with tears in
their eyes, revealed in their faces the
anguish they felt at their surrender. which
they consented to. although quite haught-
lily. But it would have been mad en-
terprise to attempt to defend themselves
against an enemy twenty times as numer-
Gus as themselves. In q few hours moth

fire. The chamber of commerce gave
$500 of the amount and the Examiner
$500.
1t was supposed that last nights fire
would tend to re-establish the insurance
compact. The aggregate loss of $500, 900
divided among forty companies has not
brought the different agencies closer to-
cether. ana today they are again cutting
rates. particularly on dwelling risks. The
total loss from last nights fire is placed
at 81, 200. 900. The companies losing most
heavily are:
Royal Exchange, $4,000; W. J. Lam

point of my Masonic life was accom-

words.
Gentlemen, / appreciate the honor.
Coming as II does from the representation
of the largest assemblage of the largest
body that ever assembled, any man should
appreciate ii and / hereby renew my
fealty to the beloved principles of the

not till then, will the height of my ambi-

overflow. Again Sir Knights, thank
