LETTER FROM GOMEZ.
He Is Sorry Senior MOrOte Was Not
Sentenced to Death.


HAVANA. April 1.-The Diaro de Marina
says editorially to-day that the policy of
President Mckinley and his Cabinet is al
together hostile to the plans of the insur-
gents. 1t prints also a letter from General
Maxine Gomez to Senior Morote, the cor
respondent of Ell Liberal. of Madrid. which
runs as follows, under date of Army of
Liberation. Headquarters of the General
in-chief."
Upon your leaving my presence l W
you an explanation. especially as you write
for the newspaper which calls upon Spain
to drown in blood our just as
pirations. l cannot be sanguinary.
the special circumstances you were not
sentenced to death While in my camp. 1t
is but natural that we should feel that
there must be much shedding or Spanish
blood to heal the pain caused by the blood
shed at Punta Bravo. The machete blow
that killed Francisco Gomez will never be
forgotten i'm Cuba. Puerto Rico. Santo Do
mingo or probably in other parts of Amer
lea. The machete strokes dealt when heroes
fell at Punta Bravo cannot be forgotten
by one who has pardoned thousands of
Spanish prisoners and cured hundreds OF
Spanish wounded. Meanwhile go your way
to Spain, pleased at the Thought that you
lave been a witness to the ruin of poor
Cuba and have plunged your feet in the
blood of innocent Cubans. Do not forge;
we shall continue fighting for liberty. Do
not forget that justice will descend from
above and will end the struggle now sus-
tanned by Spain to her dishonor and dis
aSter.'

to report the sundry civil and Indian APP
preparation bills practically as they were
agreed to before the adjournment Of the
last session on Congress. A few verbal
changes were found 10 be advisable and
an important change was made i'm the pro-
vision in regard TO the opening of the I'm
cOmpahgre Indian reservation, in Utah.
This Srovision was inserted as a Senate
amendm>nt in the last session and was
agreed to by the House. The House struck
it out when IL passed the bill at the be-
ginning of the present session. The Sen
ate committee again recommends the in
clusion of the provision. but 1t reduces the
number of claims of gilsonite that one per-
son may take from four. as originally pro-
vided, TO two.A change was also made in
the provision for the rights of inheritance
of children born of white fathers and In
dian mothers. SO as 10 provide that the
mother shall belong to her tribe by
blood" The original provision made Ii by
blood or descent" The bills probably Will

Admiral Ramsay Reticent.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The announce
ment from San Diego that Admiral
Beardslee had received orders to sail for
Honolulu could not be verified tonight.
Admiral Ramsey was rather ~reticent about
denying or affirming the story. IF Ad-
miral Beardslee." he said, has decided to
go to Honolulu with his flagship there is
no significance in the movement of the
vessel, as the Sandwich islands lie In his
territory and he is at liberty to proceed
there without any orders from the Navy
Department. He has just arrived at San
Diego, and il is just possible that he re-
oeived a suggestion from the government
to go TO Honolulu. but no orders were sent.
and 1t is entirely optional with him whether
the squadron go to the islands or not. :"
Admiral Ramsey was emphatic in his opin-
ion that there would be no significance in
the war vessels going to Honolulu. and
that such a cruise would be in the ordinary
routine of the squadron.
