Havana, April 21.-Gen. Gomez has
determined to announce to the people
Of Cuba his support of an American
protectorate until such time as a stable,
Independent government may 6e
founded. This announcement would
have been made to-day had he been
able to work upon the manifesto yes
terday, but that was ~impracticable be-
cause he passed the entire time with
his two sons and his daughter, VINO
will sail for San Domingo to-day.
To a correspondent of the Associated
Press Gen. Gomez made it known that
he intends to take this step after con-
sulting the views o fthe leading men
in his following. He is content to CO.
operate with the Americans till the is
land is pacified, the rural police Or
ganized, the Cuban soldiery at work
and insular reconstruction far adj
vanced. No definite period for the &C.
cupation by the Americans will be
mentioned, but the manifesto will ia

Immediate withdrawal of the United
States troops. The declaration will be
so worded as to retain the support OF
those who desire independence, yet will

sistance. Gov. Gen. Brooke is aware
of the purposes Of Gomez and has
talked with him about them. Tie an
nouncement will include a recital OF
the personal views of the Cuban COM
n:ander-in-chief regarding the $4,000
O00. On this point he will say that lie
favors buying plantations and factories
in which soldiers could hold stock,
drawing wages and dividends, but as
the soldiers need clothes and shoes and
something to tide over immediate ne
cessities the money should be paid out
now. He thinks the rural police should
be one body so that officers living in
one part of the island could he sent to
another for duty where they would not
be affected by local influence. Some
papers continue to advocate annexa-
ton to the United States. Ell Recon-
centrado prints a caricature of Gomez
driving over the flags of San Domingo,
Spain and Cuba and flying the Ameri-
can flag. The paper asks what

judges who favor revision are being
subjected to terrible intimidation.
More than this, he learns that ev-

graded and sentenced to Imprisonment

Havana, April 23.-Two new cases
Of yellow fever developed in Havana
yesterday, making five officially re-
ported. There are no Americans
among them, and as far as is known
at the office Of the chief surgeon there
is only n American in Cuba with the
fever, a man named Biscomb, who has
been working on a plantation near
Pamilas, Matanzas province. He is q
discharged private.
The Carlists are moving throughout
the island and their agents are trying
to secure men. They prefer the Cuban
soldiers around Havana. Yesterday
one agent was openly offering ,$15 a
month and a free passage to Spain as
inducements to join the army of Don
Carlos. La Geceta Carlisle, a Carlist
organ recently established here, de-
scribes in it's latest issue the munifi-
ccnce of Don Carlos and his desire to
rebuild Spain as well. as to "eXter-
inmate such men as Weyler."
Gen. Gomez is arranging to publish
a list of paymasters and assistants ap-
pointed at q meeting held last evening.
He will say in connection Herewith,
that, owing to the necessity of the es-
adjustment Of a peaceful republic at
the earliest possible date, the only
troops needed are those of the inter-
vening power, with the assistance Of
the rural guards in isolated districts.
that soldiers Of the Cuban army must
disband and turn owe their arms to
their officers, who will deposit them in
q suitable receptacle or museum. where
they will be guarded as relics of n
glorious struggle. The men are then
to go to work Immediately. Officers
close to the general say that if he was
offered the presidency he would prob
ably accept. La Discussion attacks
him, saying he is not a representative
Of the army or til epeople, and tina,
he was only elected by a few generals
who were forced to do so by the ty-
rannical Americans.
Several reports are in circulation and
have been cabled to the United States
regarding the affront to Gomez yester-
day while he was returning in a launch
after saying farewell to his two SONS
and daughter who sailed for San Do
mingo, but the exact facts are these:
Gen. Gomez was Kissed by some peo-
pie who were standing on the roof Of a
house that overlooked the harbor.
They waved Spanish flags, cried
"IOng live Weyler," and Long live
Spain," death to Gomez" death to
the Americans" "Death to the Gu
BANS" The passengers and sailors on
board the Alfonso XIII. repeated the
cries. Even the papers that oppose
Gomez denounce the proceeding as an
outrage.

the Effects of Poison.

e. Patton, we'll known as a specialist
in the cure of cancer, and proprietor Of
a Large sanitarium in this city, is lying
at the point of death from the effects
of arsenic and chloroform poison,
which he claims was administered by
his wife. For some months past the
physician has been materially losing
strength and now lies under the care
Of three physicians who state that his
chances for recovery are very slight.
Since his illness has forced him to take
to his bed the physician has reiterated
time and time again in the hearing Of
his brother physicians that his wife
was the cause of his condition. The
attending physicians we're inclined to
believe at first that their patient was
mildly insane on the subject, but were
at last led to the belief that there
might be some truth in his statements.
Late last night the invalid asked that
the prosecutor and coroner be sum-
mOned, to whom O sworn statement
was made by the dying man and taken
down by both the coroner and prose-
cutor. In addition, DR.. Patton asked
that q post norton Of his body be
made in order that the true cause Of
his death might be ascertained.
Mrs. Julia Patton, the accused wom-
an, has filed proceedings for divorce
and is now at one of her farms near
Newmarket, Ind. She has been mar
ried four times and is worth something
over 100000 in her own right. No
steps have yet, been taken to appre-
bend her.

Newman, Ga, April 25.-In the pres
ence Of nearly 1900 people who sent
aloft yells of defiance and shouts Of
Joy, Sam Hose, q negro, who COM
mitted two of the basest acts known
to crime, was burned to the stake in a
spot n and one-half miles from here
yesterday afternoon. Before the torch
was touched to the pyre the negro was
deprived of his ears, fingers and other
pleaded pitifully for his life while the
m%utilation was going on, but stood
the ordeal of fire with surprising
fortitude. Before the body was cool
it was cut to pieces, the bones We're
crushed into small pieces, and even
the tree upon which the wretch met
his fate was torn up and disposed. of
as souvenirs. The mob was composed
of citizens Of Newman, Griffin, Palmet-
to and other little towns in the Dun
try roundabout Newman and all the
farmers who had received word that
the burning was to take place.
Hon. w. Y. Atkinson. former gov
ernor Of Georgia, met the mob as he
was returning from church, and he
appealed to them to let the law take
its course. A member of the mob was
seen to draw q revolver and level it
at Gov. Atkinson, but his arm was
seized and the pistol taken from him.
The mob was frantic at delays and
would hear to nothing but burning at
the stake. Before being put to- death
the negro said that he had been paid
SIP by Lige Strickland, a negro preach
er at Palmetto, to kill Crawford. A
mob Of citizens is securing the country
for Strickland, who has left home, and
will lynch him If caught.
Sam Hose killed Alfred Crawford,
white farmer near Palmetto, and out
ragged his wife ten days ago. Since
that time business in that part of the
state has been suspended, the entire
population turning out in an effort to
capture Hose. Gov. Chandler has been
asked to send troops here to preserve
order for a day Or two, as it is feared
the negroes will wreak vengeance,
many threats to that effect having
been made.
The other Negro Captured.
Palmetto, April p. - Elijah Strick-
land, the negro preacher who Is ac-
cused by Sam Hose Of paying him So
to murder Alfred Crawford, was cap
tured by q mob Of people from this vi
entity three miles out of town. He
was brought here and placed on trial
for his life by a court composed Of
those who had arrested him. Speeches
for and against his character were
made and the trial is Still in progress.
