Mrs. Hosler is modest, popular
and upright lady.

GENERAL GOMEZ FRIENDLY.
Anxious to Aid America in Its Work
in Cuba


Havana. April 5.-Whatever might have
been the feeling of Gen. Maximo Gomez
toward the United States and it's Cuban
policy heretofore, there is no question hut
that he Is now thoroughly in accord with
every proposition which has been sug-
gested to him and every step taken in the
administration of affairs on the island. Re-
Gently he has displayed great friendship
for Governor General Brooke, and even had
he still been incorrigible. the Secretary of
War would have won him over As IL is
the United States has no more ardent ad-
mirer' or more willing friend than the
gray old hero of the Cuban wars.
During the visit of Secretary AIger, Gem
eral Gomez was with him on half dozen
different occasions, two of which were con-
ferences at which the generals presence
was solicited by the Secretary
If the scheme of government for Cuba
which was contemplated by the United
States is to be carried into successful ef-
feet the assistance of certain number of
Cuban leaders must be secured. General
Gomez is the acknowledged leader of the
Cubans, and with him are number of
the other most prominent generals and
leaders. To secure the friendship and aid
of this strong combination has been the
endeavor OF General Brooke ever since
his coming to Havana. That he has sue
ceeded is demonstrated by the actions of
General Gomez during the deliberations of
the Cuban Assembly prior and subsequent
to the stormy session at which General
Gomez was deprived OF his command and
Gonzala de Quesada relieved of his mis-
sion to Washington.
General Gomez now knows the details
of the plan of the United States for estab-
fishing a stable government in Cuba, and
has promised to facilitate the carrying into
effect of the same.

her, had told her that she had better
go away with his cousin, that he would
get divorce and then she could marry
the boy, with whom she was so wildly in
love. She had begged her husband, she
said, to take her back, but he had refused,
and now she would marry her companion

The country is now being divided into
districts for supervisors by Director of
the Census W. r. Merriam. According to
the law, there are TO be rot more than 300
of these supervisors. and their districts are
to coincide as far as is possible with the
Congressional districts.
In order to comply with the law Director
Merriam has had the geographer divide
the country into districts with respect to
population and the facilities of each place
for taking the census New York. Chicago.
Boston. Baltimore. and ether large cities
will be made districts and have but one
supervisor
The District of Columbia. with Z3e.392
inhabitants, will have one supervisor, and
the State Of Virginia will have ten su-
peryisors. one for each Congressional dis
trict
Maryland is to have four supervisors,
and the districts, as mapped out, although
they are subject 10 change, will be as fol-
lows: The city OF Baltimore will form the
first district; the second will be composed
of the counties of Caroline, Dorchester.
Kent, Queen Anne Somerset. Talbot,
Wicomico. Worcester, and Cecil-popula-
lion. 1S4.O97: the third district will COM
prise Anne Arundel Calvert, Charles,

ulation. 244. .9Sl. The fourth census dis
1rict will be the Sixth Congressional dis
trict-population, 1928.
The taking of the census OF New YORK Is
giving Director Merriam trouble. as he is
unable TO decide whether the city should
have one supervisor or whether II should
ba divided into ssyeIa dist lets AM a M
her of superyisors be appointed. The plan
is either TO have one supervisor for the
whole of Greater New York or 10 have one
for each borough Senator Platt consult
ed Director Merriam yesterday IN regard
TO this matter. In taking the census
Greater New York will be considered as
one CO. The statistics relating 10 manu-
featuring population, etc, will be gwen
for New York and Brooklyn separately.
Applications for appointments to places
in the Census Bureau continue 20 pour IN
and applicants besiege Director Merriam
daily, notwithstanding the announcements
that few appointments viii be made before
The spring or early summer OF 1900.
The pressue of applications caused the
Director of the Census to make public the
rules for the examination OF applicants
which were printed yesterday.
