ARMY CANTEENS
Their Existence Depends Upon
Judicial Decisions Now
Pending.
One Case at Fort Robinson,
Neb., and Another at
Plattsburg, N. Y.
Army Officers Are Loud in
Their Praise of the
institution.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The closing
OF the post exchange at Fort Robinson,
Neb., is, it is learned, only temporary
and pending a decision by the judicial
officers of the war department. and per-
haps by the attorney general on the
question involved, namely, the right of
state officials to interfere in the internal
administration of the affairs of army
posts. The matter is giving much con-
Germ to army officers, for judicial de-
cision adverse to the post exchange. in
most instances, would wipe out this
institution, which the experience Of
several years past has shown to be of the
Greatest Value In Army Administration,
as tending to promote morality, So
briefly and habits Of thrift among the
enlisted men. The question has arisen
lately in the case of the post at Platts.
burg, N. Y, and judicial decision is
also required in that case. This diff
fers from the Fort Robinson case in
that there is lacking specific act of
cession of jurisdiction by the State of
New York to the national government
and the issue must be decided there
upon the basis Of the general act rela-
tive To the administration Of the affair
of the army establishment. At Fort
Robinson, the act Of cession
was definite.

CONDITION OF CUBA.

Entere Island at Present In - State of
Most Woeful Destitution.
NEW YORK, April GA special to
The World from Havana says the total
amount of sugar made in Cuba this
year will not exceed 1870, 600 tons. The
normal crop is about 100000 tons.
This enormous shrinkage means, it is
estimated, a money loss of $56, 900, 600.
The tobacco crop will be greatly
diminished. The other products of the
island-hides, mahogany and cedar
are practically not to be had. Nothing
is being done ON the Stock Exchange
and the Produce Exchange is lifeless.
Flour, potatoes and the commonest
necessaries of life cannot be sold on
business principles; there is no money
and Havana is like tomb. No news
papers are printed.
Regarding the Death of Gomez.
In government circles there has been
much discussion about Gomez, and
many persons in subordinate positions
have believed that the rebel chieftain
was dead. Explicit accounts tof how
Gomez was buried have been related
which the narrators believe. General
Pando, commanding in Santa Clara
province, has been blamed for allowing
Gomez to get through that province.
Gomez was in such q condition Of
physical exhaustion that he was simply
endeavoring to avoid any Spanish force
and to proceed by easy stages to find a
point in Puerto Principe province
where he could rest, hoping to regain
his health. Gomez is now not less than
$50 miles from Havana and has been in
communication with Jose Maceo.
