AFFAIRS IN SANTIAGO.
Report That General Co
mez Has Resigned.


mez Has Resigned.
NBy Telegraph
SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Sept. 13.-An
uncontradicted report was received by
General Lawton last night that Gene
raj MaXimo Gomez. the insurgent
resignation of the command of the Gu
ban army to the Cuban government at
Canaguey. and that it has been accept
ed. Gomez, it appears. has been pro-
testing against the Cuban governments
yielding the control OF the affairs of
the island to the Americans, and the
explanation FOR resignng was his dis
approval of passive submission to con
ditions tending to the practical discred
ting and retirement OF the Cuban re-
public as SUCH and the establishment
of the absolute dominion Of the United
States"
The Cubans at Santiago were much
excited over the report. 1t was dis
believed by many,who say that General
GomeZ'S resignation at this time is ut
terly improbable. Others. however,
say Gomez resentS the putting of the
Cuban army under the authority OF the
American generals, and claims the Gu
bans should resist even by force of
arms if necessary. IT,.
Generals Ccbrcco. Castillo. Pedro. P.<
rcz and other insurgent leaders have
turned over their commands to General
i.;,wton. ...
General Perez has 5000 men in the vi
cinitS of Guantanamo which nc will
disband this week by order of General
Castillo. There is now Il general desire

Lieutenant Colonel ltowen and Cap
tain Parker, accompanied by Lieuten-

The house crowded in all parts from dress circle to gallery, and 1t was amused and in many instances delighted with the performance.
 The opening selections were by far the bet ter while the closing ones good. The house was ticxed with John and Louisa Till' s Royal Marionettes, presenting the pantomirne. .'Skeleton Dance, Bluebeard and Humpty- Durnpty,'' with side splitting clown and A wonderful woman, whose sleeves. as they fell off turned into little girls. Vinie de Witt was encored again and again for her graceful and spirited playing on the cornet, and when she concluded with patriotic airs including afDixie'' and ''The Star Spangled Banner the house shook with handclapping.

 Mrs Shafnwald was so overcome by the sudden attack that she almost fainted. Several bystanders assisted her to a boot black stand, where she was allowed to oc- cupy a chair until she had partially re- covered. She then sumoned hack, and was taken to her apartments at the Colo nial. corner of Pine and Jones streets. She is still suffering from nervous prostra- ton, although no serious results are feared.
 Last night Mir Shainwald visited police headuuarters and invoked the aid of Chief Lees in arresting his wife's assallant.

Golden Gate Lodge of the Order of Elks, of which he is member. at tended in body and at the end of the second act Harry Newhoff, the exalted ruler of the lodge, mounted the stage and in few we'll chosen words bade the actor a hearty welcome in the of the lodge and the people of this city At the same time he presented most beautiful floral offering, embematc of the order. Aside from this half dozen elegant bouquets were handed over the footlights. Nor rison replied with feeling and said many pretty things of the people of the city that first gave him note in his profession. The welcome he received operated fuel to a fire and he carried out the difficult role of Yorick in the pathetic play of ''Yorick S Love- The play and the actor need commendation. Taken as a whole ably supported by the Alcazar Stock Company. One valuable addition to the cast is Miss Florence Roberts. who took the trying part of the comedians wife Alice.

His allusions to Dewey and other Americans created great enthusiasm. The Vans did a funny comedy acrobatic turn, and Colby and Way much applause by their act. As a ventriloquist the former proved himself the equal of any heard in many sea- sons. Miss Ways doll dancing caused wonder and hearty applause Harry Allister's DOT trayal of Grant Sheridan.
