ASSEMBLY NOT
TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Impeachment and Removal Of Gomez Not
Recognized by General Brooks,
NO SERIOUS CON-
Germ Is FELT
United States Has Never Recognized
the Cuban Government and Will
Not Do So Now.

New YORK, March ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
News from Havana of the Cuban as
sembly's action in deposing Maxim Go
mez from command of the army will
cause no change in the administration g
policy. The American military anthor-
tiles in CUBA will continue to recognize
Gomez and to deal with him. 1t is not
believed the turmoil which has been
created temporarily will make necessary
any change in the plans for the with
drawal of the volunteers, though if the
devevopments seem to require it, the
plans will be modified.
The intention was to have all the vol
unteers out of Cuba by April 10. Per-
EN- ptory instructions haye been given
that the transports should be available,
SO that there would be no delay in EN-
barking the troops. This is understood
to have been done by direct orders of
President Mckinley.
No serious concern is felt over the act
ion of the assembly. Official reports
have all increased the confidence felt in
Gomez. He has impressed General
Brooke and the other military COM
missioners with his sincerity, and they
have stated their confidence in his
ability to secure the disbandment of the
insurgent army.
The commission arranged for the 3d.
O00, 900 payment but the administration
gave neither to it nor to the assembly
the handling of the funds.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always reeults from a cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. During the
epidemic of La Grippe few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlajn's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.
Every bottle warranted. For sale by
Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.

ASKS UNCLE
SANS AID
Determined Though Unofficial Effort
to Secure Their Exercise Being
Made, But With Little Success.


New YORK, March ia dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: A
determined though unofficial effort is
being made to secure the exercise by
the United States of its go,d Offices in
behalf of China. The matter has not
yet been brought officially to the atten-
ton of Secretary Hay, but it is under
stood that he is aware of the wishes of
certain interested persons, and the ad-
vantage, from their point of view, which
would accrue to this government IN case
of such action.
It Is untrue that an appeal has been
made to this government to make any
representations to foreign governments
to prevent them from seizing Chinese
territory. What lie desired is that this
government shall, through its minister
in Peking, inform the empress dowager
of the dangerous position China occupies
and having done this make a public
declaration that the commercial in
terests of the United Safes make it nec-
essary that no further leases of Chinese
coast territory be granted.
1t iA extremely. improbable, however,
that the government will consent to take
such action.

Supported by the Oregon volunteers,
the advance opened heavy fire on the
rebels. The response was feeble and
desultory, apparently coming from few
men in every covert. While the right
column was swinging toward the town of
Pasig, the left advanced, pouring volleys
into the bush.
A small body of rebels made a de-
termined stand at Guadalupe church,
but was unableto withstand the assault.

Guadalupe. Steaming slowly the gun
boat poured a terrific fire from her gat-

heavier pieces on board.

time the enemy was in full fight aloni
