DOES NOT FEAR ANNEXATION.
GOMEZ HAS FULL CONFIDENCE IN TIKI
PROMISES OF CONGRESS

GOMEZ HAS FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE
PROMISES OF CONGRESS.
Washington. Nov. 5-Following Is an extract
from letter received by Mr.. Quesada from
General Gomez. written on October 20:
| have full confidence In the solemn promises
made by the Congress Of Washington. and for
that reason | do not have any fear as to the
independence Of Cuba. Some time must elapse
before our ideal will be realized but after 80
many struggles and privations wait a
little longer The military occupation by the
United States Is, to certain extent. necessary
to prepare and hurry the evacuation Of the
Spanish ana to bring about harmony among
the different factors in Cuban politics. During
this military occupation the republican govern
ment will be organized. Its decisions will be
finally accepted by all, order will reign every
where.
Those who speak now of annexation try to sat
fears as 10 personal security and private prop
erty. The final success Of our struggle has re-
quired necessary destruction Of property which
the enemy used to It's advantage, but which
We have never attacked in individuals.
The struggle against Spain is now ended
We begin now a more delicate and difficult
task, namely. to make our republican political
system triumph ard to reconstruct the country.
II is not an easy labor. and all men who loved
their country should contribute to II; for that
reason | cannot retire now. Notwithstanding
my sixty-one years. Most Of the officers and
soldiers went into the field obeying my orders:
| cannot abandon them until their future is
assured They have lost everything they had
they have n right TO some compensation. and
above all. to their salaries; the new government
must secure them. The disarmament cannot
occur until the Spaniards have evacuated; my
men cannot he abandoned without bread or
work TO the mercy of their enemies. A solution
could be found perhaps. in the plan which the
American Government is said to have. Of Great
ing a native civil government formed in the
majority OF Cuban soldiers. This organZa-
ton would offer the advantage OF not exposing
the American troops TO the deadly climate %
the island and at the same time the United
States would have people who know the country
thoroughly In the mean while and until the
evacuation occurs food must be provided for my
soldiers.
The evacuation should he rapid possible,
and aftervard everything will be arranged. for
the American Government will fulfil its moral
pledge 10 us. Some people have tried to make
US suspicious to bring about trouble,
but before doubling the good faith OF the
American people must wait for acts which
shall give the lie to their solemn pledge.

Equality.
The Spring season has arrived and we are
ready for it with the largest finest and best
stock of clothing for men, youths and chill
dren ever brought to Shenandoah. Each
article is sold with guarantee as to quality
and make, and every piece is made by us.
Have you heard Of our One Price System
Well tell you. Since the 3rd of March we
have been doing business on a strictly One
Price basis No more cutting prices at our
place. You find every garment marked dis
tinctly at what it is actually worth to the
consumer If you like what you examine
you take it at the price marksd-nothing less
and nothing more. Since the One Price sys-
TEN has been in operation our business is
greater than ever it was before People
express surprise at the prices marked on our
goods. We have always sold cheap, but
under the Ono Price system our prices are
still lower. We mark every piece at bottom
rock and that mark becomes our Ono Price.
We can sell cheaper than others because we
manufacture all our own clothing and have
no rent to pay. Spare few minutes to look
at our show WindOws-One filled with men S
clothing and the other with childrens cloth
ing. After looking you will agree with us
that there never before was a better OF larger
display of clothing in childrens suits and
novelties in Shenandoah Anyone who wants
to see the latest styles in clothing should not
miss looking at our windows.
A Fine Merchant Tailoring Department
has been opened in our store and we have
over $4,000 worth of piece goods from which
you can select and have suit made by oul
own tailors in our own building. We guar
antee perfect fit and elegant finish at any
price you want. No fit, no purchase.
