BAND STAND ATTACKED.
Complaints Made to City Government BY
the G. 4. r. and Others.

The band stand on Monument narl,
is the object of an attack by the q A,
r. of this city. They have com
planned to the mayor that It ia the
cause of the tramplng Of the grass in
the park, and about the soldiers monu-
ment. that the crowds that gather to
hear the band concerts get about tha
monument, tearing up the turf and in
many ways spelling the looks of the
place. The keeper Of the park saws the
flower beds are in many cases almost
wholly destroyed.
These complaints have been made to
the mayor, and he broached them to
the city government. Thursday evening.
Mayor Haynes said he had received
many complaints about the matter,
and had observed personally some OF
the effects of the stand and of the
concerts. He said the stand was not
in good place, as it acted as shell
ter to the people who congregat ed
there night and day. The keeper had
tried to keep them away by moving the
seats to other parts of the park, but
they still clung to that part of the
park to such an extent that the grass
was entirely worn away. making that
corner an unsightly place. He said he
ta. ga
some other place. though he could not
think of an appropriate place in the
city.
Alderman Parkman explained that
when the stand was built much discus
sion was INDUCED in as to the proper
place to locate the stand, and the pres
ent location was about the only one
that was deemed proper though others
had been suggested
Alderman Carver said it might be
possible after Haymarket square was
paved to place the stand there Some
one else suggested that the center of
the desert of Sahara is the only place
where the stand can be placed. and
where it will not be used as a general
place of gathering for the loafers. and
a trysting place for the young people.
Finally the matter was left i'll the
hands of the highway committee who
are to confer with the mayor, and to
report at the next meeting.

GOMEZ
Would Not Desert His Cause.


NEW YORK, May 31.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says that
advices just reached 1t Washington de-
tail additional proposals made by
the automomist government of Cuba
to the government of the Cuban repub-
lie by which they urged The insurg-
ents to join the Spauiards and repel
the proposed invasion of United
States trcope, in consideration OF which
peace and freedom would follow.
Two letters, one more urgent than
the other, were sent Gomez. Gomez.
in replying May Is, spurns the offer of
Blanco and gives warning that the
sending of another such proposition
will result in the death OF the bearer
of the message. Gomez demands that
the absolute independence of the re-
public of Cuba be recognized. His re-
ply closes in these words:
"The only idea that could provoke
Spain to make such q proposition OF
such an alliance between the Spanish
army and the Cuban army is the full
knowledge that she has already lost
control of the island. This is the las,
step which she is seeking to take be.
fore her final fall. She realizes that
she must surrender her forces before
the arms of the United States in Cuba
Hurrah for the United States! Hurrat
for the free republic of Cuba! HurraI
for all good true patriots!"

the men will volunteer without condi-

the chance. In the first instance they
acted under the advice Of their omcers.
Now they are ready to enlist with or
without leaders.
