GOMEZ APPEALS FOR AID.
staTvatIOu-ChIIdren Dying by
Dozens Every Day.

Washington, Sept 27.-Telegrams
have been received at the Cuban L.
CATION at Washington from commits
sioners who have arrived at Key West,
Fla, and who are sent to this country
by Gen. Gomez, the Cuban insur-
gent leader. These kilograms depict
the situation in the province Of Santa
Clara as most critical The Cuban
army is starving for over two weeks,
and the soldiers have been unable to
get any meat The vegetables are al
most gone, and the last mules and
horses have been killed to feed the
sick. The children and old people are
dying by dozens every day. Gen Go
mez appeals for aid and says his men
are desperate, as the Spanish are do
ing all they possibly can to make the
insurgents situation more terrible.
Serious results may arise from this,
and, he says, the Cubans cannot be
blamed II they are forced to take with
their arms the necessaries Of life. This
they can do by capturing a town, but
the Cubsns have pledged themselves
not to violate the armistice and they
therefore appeal to the United States

discharge to the place Of enlistment
and also If the soldier is discharged
on furlough, except in cases where the
distance is greater than the distance
from where the soldier was eneamped

he is entitled to travel pay only from
the point where his regiment was
stationed to the place Of enlistment.
Another matter settled bv the decision
is that officers and soldiers discharged
at their own request are not entitled
to travel pay, but where an officer or
soldier resigns or is discharged on &C
count Of sickness or wounds, then he
is entitled to travel allowance, and
such discharge or resignation is not
regarded as having been made for the

held that discharge or resignation

WE WOULD FIGHT ALL EUROPE
Senator Teller Wants That Under
stood at the Outset.

Washington, April 16.-In his speech
on the Cuban resolution Senator Teller
announced at the outset that he would
vote for an amendment recognizing the
independence of Cuba. 1t meant war.
and the step should be taken with the
full knowledge of that fact. He thought
we were fairly we'll prepared for hostil-
tiles, and at this moment he congratu-
lated himself that he had always in the
past supported measures looking to the
proper defense of the country to meet
any contingency. He also congratu-
lated himself that no act of his had con-
tributed to the dire calamity we faced
and that he had by no act of his en-
barrassed or sought to embarrasS the
executive.
He believed the Maine was blown up
by Spanish agencies. Before that oc-
was necessary. If the executive had
recognized the belligerency of the Gu
ban insurgents our present position
would have been avoided. The preS1-
dent in his message admitted that the
war had existed for three years. If
the present executive or his predecessor
had said that before the Maine was
destroyed, war, with all it's horrors,
would have been averted
War was awful thing to contemplate.
No one could tell what would happen
to our battleshipS or how many of the
brave youth of the land would go to
their death in the fever-sIricken dis
trictS of Cuba. Spain had already sent
three times as many soldiers to Cuba to
suppress the revolution Great Brit
ain had sent to put down the American
revolution. Yet the United States de-
clined for these years and these months
to recognize the existence of a state of
war. But it was idle now to regret
idle opportunities.
But the war must not be laid at his
door, at the door of those who had
acted with him in urging the recOgni-
ton of be1ligerency months ago. He
did not desire to criticise the president
but he did not agree with those who be-
HeVed senators should surrender their
Judgment to the executive.
Mr.. Teller declared that there must be
no interference by the allied powers of
Europe If they attempted that we
would fight the world. We should de-
clare that with all the vigor of our An
glo-Saxon blood and our seventy five
million of people and if we did the world
would not attempt to lay it's hands up
on us.
