GOMEZ VERSUS CISNEROs
There Would Seem to be a Little Rift
Within the Cuban Lutte, Too

Within the Cuban Lutte, Too.
New York, March ia special TO the
Herald from Los Barricones, district
times during the last year rumors were
rife about misunderstanding and con-
fiicts between General Gomez and the
provisional government of Cuba, arls-
ing from disputes over the right of su-
preme authority.
The truth about the matter has been
carefully concealed and suppressed by
the Cubans. Who are desirous of making
it appear that all are working in per-
feet harmony
When Gomez and Maceo left CANA
guri 70 make their first grand march,
carrying the revolution to the western
provinces, the members OF the provision
al government remained in the east Co
mez accomplished the plan he had map
ped out and returned to Puerto Principe
province N May last.
The circumstances that gave rise TO
their first misunderstanding are not gen.
orally understood, but ii is supposed
that Gomez, flushed with victory after
the invasion. tried to place himself in
position independent of the govern
:nent.
President Cisneros had sent various
letters ordering Gomez to report to him
but they were not obeyed.
It is said the president, firing if such
conduct, finally sent very peremptory
note, ordering Gomez TO present him
self before him which had the desired
result
Gomez came ;Lto camp with bands play
ing and banners flying. To all outward
appearances, the reception on both sides
was cordial. but after entering headquar
ters, the two chiefs were c,osesed to-
setfcr long time. and it IS learned on
competent authority that President Cis-
neros reminded Gomez that, although ne
was major general OF the army. he
must recognize the authority Of the pres
ident as commander-in-chief, or tender
his resignation.

General Draper of Massachusetts is Onered
Some Tempting Trades.

Wasning.o .on, March 19.-General Dra-
per of Massachusetts, may yet go to
Havana as consul general 10 succeed
General Fitzhugh Lee. He admits that
President Mckinley has solicited him TO
accept the appointment and while he is
adverse to doing so, and has so ex-
pressed himself to the president, ne does
not feel ike ignoring the presidents
wishes in the matter. This, il is said,
means that if he Is pressed he will ac-
cept. In the event Of his becoming Cen
ecal Lees successor, it is said 20 be the
purpose of the president 10 allow Minis
ter Taylor to remain at Madrid for the
time being. 1t is the belief of the admin
istration that the Cuban question will
be solved in a few months and after it
IS settled an attempt will be made 70
have the ministerships Of Spain and Rus
sic raised to ambassadorships When
this is done, If General Draper is per-
soma Srata 20 Spain, he may receive that
appointment. If not, the minister Sc
lected for Russia may be transferred and

DEMOCRATS ARE DIVIDED
Minority In the House Cant Get Together
on Free Raw Materials.

Washington, March 19.-Discussions
have arisen among the Democratic men,
bers of the ways and means committee
which may result in the presentat ton of
two minority reports on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Bailey of Texas, who is at the head
Of the minority committee in virture of
his position, will write the main report,
but it is not improbable that some of the
Democratic members will decline to sign
il. Mr.. Bailey differs from his Demo-
cratic colleagues radically on the subject
OF free wool. and yesterday, when Mr..
McMilln and Mr.. Wheeler offered
amendments in the committee, the for
mer to place wool on the free list and
the latter to make the maximum duty
collected on woois not 10 exceed 10 per
cent ad valorem, he voted against the
McMiliin amendment and declined to
vote on that offered by General Wheeler.
Mr.. Bailey takes the position that the
Chicago platform, by implication, op-
poses free raw materials and especially
free wool. the great product of the west.
Tee plank of the Chicago platform held
that tariff duties should be levied for the
purposes of revenue, schedules 10 be so
adjusted as to operate equally through
out the country and not discriminate be-
tween classes or sections.'i
Mr. McMillin and several of the other
Democratic members OF the ways and
means committee who are ardent silver
men, cling 10 the free wool idea and
claim that the Chicago platform does not
run counter 10 their position. But some
OF the Democratic members, like Mr..
Wheeler, who favors free wool. are op-
posed 10 free coal and iron, which were
classed as raw materials" by the sup
porters OF the original Wilson bill. In
fact, General Wheeler made a speech
against these features OF the Wilson bill.
In addition 10 the dissensions over the
question Of free wool and other free
raw materials" there Is a strong init
nation that Mr.. Robertson OF Louisia-
ma, enc OF the new Democratic men,
bers OF the committee, Will in words en-
doIse the sugar schedule. 1t is possible.
however. that the present complication
may be smoothed ou, in some way and
that Mr.. Bailey Will be able 10 write
report in which all mis- Democratic col
leagues can joint. Efforts 20 this end
are now being made, as the Democrats
are extremely anxious 10 go into the tar
if fight With strong and united front. I

Houston, Tex, March 1o.-Walter
Hughes, carpenter and ex-employe OF
the Southern Pacific railway, has met
his death at the hands Of Detectives El-
,iscc and Proctor. Some time ago Hughes
proposed 10 Sol Edsl, a saloonkeeper. 70
abduct the children Of B. ". Camp. a
rich lawyer, and Frank Dunn, wealthy
pcwnb.oker, and TO demand from the
fathers ransom OF $4,000. Edel inform

isfactorily arranged, last night Hughes
went to the residence 10 steal the chill
dre1. Detectives Ellison and Proctor
were in waiting with shotsuns. They
were discovered by Hughes while he was

MYSTERIOUS MR.. BLANTHER.
San Francisco, March 19.-The police
have been notified that osJeph E. Blan-
Longfeldt last May and then mysterious
ly disappeared, is in jail at Austin. Tex.
A local detective has been sent to Aus
tin 10 identify the prisoner. Blanther
is an ex-officer in the Hungarian army.
After the murder he robbed Mrs Long
field OF her diamonds. The CRIME was
horrifying in its details, and the escape
was bold. The extraordinary efforts OF
the police to capture Blanther have been
fruitless, although fifty men in various
cities have been shadowed under misap-
prehension as TO their identity. The
police now think that the Austin prison
er IS the right man.

table it was disappointment and didn't

abandoned as failure
A few days later al six o'clock din
rer with a friend, the cup of coffee serv-
ed was dark, rich and fragrant. After
drinking about half tine contents Of the
cup he was asked by the hostess If he
ever used Postum, the health coffee, and
his reply was that they tried it once
and didn't like il. II was difficult to
make him believe that ne had just drank
a cup of it. rs it possible that this de-
iicious beverage is Postum? How do
you make it?"

1t Is The Same In Washington.

The Topeka Capital hopes for some
good outcome from the revelations Of
Populistic boodleism in that state.
We are not in the least surprised that
such things should have been revealed
there. Populism, while it has many
good intentions, was of an excitable
nature. 1t brought to the front the
agitators and demagogues who were
willing and anxious to use the public
tendencies to help themselves into
Offices. Dishonest men and dema-
gogues thrive in such times. The rev.
Citations include Mrs. Lease, of course.
Ex-senator HI. B. Kelly, who served
with her on the Lewelling state board
of charities has testified that with his
own hands he gave her state money
for Worlds Fair junket and DR..
Eastman, another state employee, was
deputed to give her an additional
amount at state money. Mrs. Lease,
as far as we have seen, does not deny
that she travelled on public moneys,
the charitable funds of the state, but
she accuses Kelly and the rest of hav-
ing received or taken equal amaunts
OF state money. The legislative and
executive history of Kansas has been
more corrupt under Populism than it
ever was was before. The Performers
fortunately have been telling on each
other. It was inevitable that they
should do so, earlier or later, for such
fellows always fall out.

The Secret Uf the Well.

A special to the Post-Intelligencer,
from Coupeville, says: While Charles
Emerson was cleaning out we'll on
his ranch about four miles from here,
Tuesday, he found the remains of a
man in the last stages of decomposi-
ton. He notified the coroner who
found the skull broken in on the right
side as if from blow with a hammer.
The coroner's jury declared it believed
the body to be that of Finley CARR

known man and thrown into the we'll
The well had not been used for over
three years, and was nailed up two
years ago by neighbors who had stock
running at large in the neighborhood
The farm on which the we'll is located
is an obscure and lonely place. 1t was
once owned by a man named Bradley
who sold it to Emerson, the latter tax
ing possession few days ago. CARR
son had some money at the time he
disappeared, and it is supposed that
he was decoyed to the spot under pre-
tence OF examining the ranch.

The Log Supply.

we are Informed that spruce logs
are very scarce and that the demand
Tor them is much greater than the
output says the Aberdeen Bulletin.
The price of spruce holds at $3.50 but
logs will bring SIS thousand. The
supply of cedar logs on the Harbor is
also much less than will be consumed
IN filling present orders on hand. The
price of cedar logs is firm at $3.50, but
will probably rise in the next three
months to S.. The fir logger has very
little to brighten his outlook. Most
OF the loggers say they will cut no
more fir than necessary at $3.50. If
they stick to their resolution the price
will surely come up to $3.50 next
summer.

EnfOrces The Law.


John w. Mathews, prosecuting at
torney of Whitman county, is one of
the few officers who resolutely enforce
the law as they find it, whether said
law is to their liking or not. He is
even enforcing the Sunday closing
law in Whitman county, to the extent,
it is said that one cannot even buy a
cigar on Sunday in that county. He
advised his associates and constituents
that such was his purpose, notifying
those interested that if they did not
desire the enforcement of the law as it
existed, they would better go before
the legislature and have it amended.
Mr.. Mathews says that he is in no
way responsible for the fact that they
failed to do this, and although there
are features of the law that are not to
his taste, he feels that that is a matter
that does not concern him as an Of
fetal. He therefore went about it to
enforce the law as he found it. and in
that he is succeeding.
