Havana, Dec 30 Sylvester Scovel
and Mrs. Scovel returned tonight from
their visit TO Maxine Gomez on the
Demajagua estate, Sancti Spritus. They
remained two days and nights with the
insurgents. who dincd and serenaded
them Mrs. Scovel expresses herself as
much pleased with the trip. 1t was the
first time that an American woman had
visited the camp of General Gomez.
Mr.. ScoVol says that Senior Rafael
Madrigal carried a communication from
the United States government and as he
(ScoVeD had none, he went through the
Spanish lines with a permit from Gen
eral Blanco, who gave it on the under
standing that he would talk autonomy
to General Gomez, which he did.
General Gomez refused the oVertures,
basing his refusal on the conviction
that Spain could not hold out two years
longer. General Gomez expressed him
self as well satisfied with the present
condition of affairs. He said also that
he was grateful for President McKin-
ley's invitation to American citizens to
render relief to help the Cubans. Mr..
Scovel and Senior Madrigal were some
times i'm considerable danger. owing to
the fact that the American flag they
carried locks at distance like an in
surgent flag
General Gomez had an escort of from
400 10 600 cavalry. Senior Madrigal is
expected tomorrow. Tonight Gen. Ber-
nal SeGuira and Gonzales Parade re-
turned from the field. 1t is rumored in
Spanish circles that, while the official
relations between Gomez and CaliXto
Garcia are running smoothly. privately
they are on bad terms.

MABEL DOESN'T LIKE 1T

for Divorce on Her Own
Account.

4 Two appeal cases taken to the dis
1rict court yesterday present another
phase of the marital troubles of Mabel
and III. ". Ludwig. A long time ago

she prepared to fight it. and went into
court and petitioned for alimony, and
also secured the issuance of an injunc-
posing of any of his property during
the tendency of the suit The case
hung fire for six months or more, and
then Ludwig made a shrewd move and
had it dismissed, which dissolved the
injunction. He then disposed of his
cwn property as well as their household
goods and temporarily left the state.
He sold the household goods to Percy
p Dixon and five of Cowboy Russells
paintings to Hugh / Wilson.
Mrs. Ludwig then brought an action
for divorce on her own account and also
sued Dixon and Wilson to recover the
property sold them by her husband. or
for their value She placed the value
of the household goods at S225 and the
paintings at $40. The suits were
brought in the justice court of p. II.
Burns of South Butte. and at the trial
Mrs. Ludwig got Judgment against
Dixon for S1T2 and against Wilson for
$3.50 The defendants appealed to the
district court and claims that a hus-
band has legal right TO sell he COM
munity property. and the question VIII
be settled when the cases come UP before
Judge Lindsay.
