to have him 60 to Havana aud CO
operate with Gen. Brooke in dis
banding the Cubans and in paying
over t; o $3,00O,000 appropriated fol
that purpose,
Gen. Gomez said the amount was
too small, but that was not his fault,
and he would make it go az far as
possible, while likening it to the mir
acle of the loaves and fishes.
"No man in history" said Mr..
Porter, "has done so much with so
small resources us you have done
Hence your CO operation with Gen.
Brooke will bring good results"
Gen, Gomez especially requested
that the money for which Mr.. Por-
ter had orders in his pocket should
be paid over to Gen. Brooke, and
not himself, as he did not want the
personal responsibility of keeping it.
The Cuban general then assured
Cupt. Campbell of his good feelings
to Ge". Brooke, and tho formal com.
pact was presented to Gomez by Mr..
Porter and was assented to by Gen.
Golnez.
In brief The compact is as follows:
|. The Cuban officers in each
province shall assis5 the American
officers in distributing the funds.
2. That these officers shall at
once meet at some convenient point
and dovise how, when and where the
payments are to be made, and ar
range any other details.
3. That the sum paid to each
man shall not be regarded as part
payment Of salary or wages due for
service rendered, but to facilitate the
disbandment Of the army, as re-
lief of suffering, and es al aid in ge'-
ting the people to work.
4. The Cubans shall surrender
their arms to tho Cuban Assembly
or TO its representative.
5. The committee on distribu
tion shall use its best endeavors to
distribute it among the population
SO that all may secnre work.
6. That the $4,000 900 shall he
placed subject to tho order OF Gen.
Brooke, and that action in the mat
ter shall be immediate.
Gen. Gomez was rendered a pub
lie reception this evening and Mr.
Porter was among those present.
aoMEz's LETTER TO M'KINLEY.

mediately after yesterdays confer
ence Gen. Gomez wrote the follow
ing letter to President Mckinley in
Spanish: ='S@ 'ssE.

to Havana and confer with Gen.
Brooke, 40 that every thing will 60
we'll. Following your advice, I will
lingly CO operate in the work of re-
constructing Cuba.
"Maximo Gomez, General"
Today Gen. Gomez is preparing
for the trip to Havana. The whole
attitude of the old fighter is much
more cordial than was anticipated by
Mr. Porter. He told the latter he
was proud to receive the special com
missioner of the President, and he is
evidently much gratitied at the pros
pect of the early solution of the dis
bandment problem.

aud thirty. four enlisted men. This
rear line was 80 constructed that
could fire over Pegram's men on the
attacking enemy.
Tho enemy in our front had two
lines Of works. He had moro mon

we had in his front. From this
nearest line he tuunellcd to and

side Of tho four gun battery, ten feet
or more deep, and then extended
the tunnel some distance to our
front. We wero on high hill, how
