MANIFESTO FROM GOMEZ
He Advises Against Immediat
Disarmament.
THE TROOPS MUST BE PAID
Cuba Is Not Yet Free or independent,
All Cause for American Interven-
ton Must Be Done Away
With.

Havana. Jan. s.-Gen. Maxine Co.
mez, from his camp, 200 miles west
ward, near Narciso, has issued a proc
fanatic to the Cuban army advising
against disbanding until the proceed
ings at Washington regarding the pay
OF the insurgent troops have been COM
pleted. 1t is dated Dec 90, and in part
is as follows:
THE moment has arrived to give
public explanation of my conduct and
my purposes, which are always in ac-
cord with my sense of duty to the coun-
try serve. The Americans, tacitly our
allies, have terminated the war with
Spain and signed treaty of peace I
believed it was my duty not to move,
Tor any official or other object, from
the spot from where l had drawn my
sword, SO long as the enemies of the
army had not completely evacuated the
island. My presence elsewhere would
have disturbed the repose and calm
ness necessary to consolidate peace,
nor ought to have caused the Cubans
trouble by unnecessary manifestations
during the jubilee. The period of tran
siton is terminated; the army of the
enemy is abandonine the country; the
sovereignty of the great United States
is beginning, as stipulated in the pro-
tocol, over all the island. But Cuba is
not yet free or independent Self-gov-
eminent is not yet constituted For
that reason we must dedicate ourselves
to bringing about the disannearance of
the cause for American intervention.
But, above everything else, in the
spirit of justice to the Cuban army,
1T is necessary that before the liberia
tors of the people can dissolve, as a
guarantee of order, that the debt which
the country owes to it's soldiers should
be satisfied Awaiting this result l re-
main in my present nosition, always
ready to help the work to which l have
dedicated my life"

The postoffice service for the city and
foreign mail shows improvement. The
confusion still is due to inefficient en-
.ployes. The Generalization in the ISL
and service cannot be remedied imme-
diately. Chief Director Rathburne's
first order after taking charge was to
abolish the ranking privilege, which
has been so seriously abused. A mis-
take made in Washington in printing
2A-cent stamps for American CORE
spondence has been remedied bv selling
the stamps for cents.
The police service is being slowly or
ganiZed. No general disorder exists.
Two or three homicides during the past
two days have been of the ordinary
kind and have had no significance.
Cuhans and Spaniards are getting along
together pretty we'll. Some fears of So
cial decentralization of which the Ameri-
cans complain will be corrected when
the police organization is more adj
vanced The military authorities do
not want to use troops for duty of this
kind.

1T BROKE ALL RECORDS
Phenomenal Run On the Burl.
ington and Northwestern.
NEW FAST MAIL TRAINS
The Rate of One Hundred and Thirty
Miles an Hour Made for the First
Tlme-It Beats the New
York Central.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 3.-The new fast
| Northwestern roads finished their phe-
| nomenal runs from Chicago without in
cident this morning. The Burlington
pulled into the terminal station at T:45
a. M, eight minutes ahead of schedule
time. The Northwestern arrived at 7:5S
a. M. II minutes ahead of the schedule.
The trains had a head wind all the
way. The crews of both trains are con-
fdent even of better time being made
after they are called upon to do so.
There was a large crowd present at the
depot to witness the arrival of the
trains, principally composed of railroad
men, but with fair sprinkling OF out
siders DESTROYS of getting first look at
the flyers. The new Rock Island train
does not start until next Sunday.
In addition to the sustained speed Of
these two trains being remarkable, over
so miles an hour for the distance, there
were some still more remarkable bursts
of speed during the trip. Several times
a mile was covered in 81 seconds. The
Northwestern left it's two brakemen at
one point on the line. When the train
stopped they got off to turn around,
and when they completed the circuit the
train was gone. The actual elapsed time
from the start at Chicago to the arrival
at the local depot was as follows:
Northwestern, 492 miles with Is stops,
8 hours and IS minutes. Burlington,
SOP miles with IL stops, 10 hours and Z
minutes. The greatest run was made
by the eastbOund train on the Burling-
ton, which left here last night one hour
late, arriving in Chicago only four min
utes late, and the schedule time is 80
minutes faster than the westbound
train, which they assert is the best rec
ord for any train between the two
points. The previous record was held
by the Northwestern, having been made
with a special train carrying party of
railroad officials to the exposition.
Every fast mile record, including the
New York Centrars record for a. mile
in 80 seconds, or at the rate of 1925
miles per hour made in 1885, was bro
ken on the trip. The distance from Sid
ing to Arion, "a miles, was made in
1:20, or at the rate of 1870 miles per hour.
Four stop watches caught the time,
which, however, will not go on record,
there being no speed indicator on the
engine.

JAMAICA AN EXAMPLE.
1t Shows the Remarkable Possibilities of
Cuba

Washington, Jan. 3.-Robert P. Por-
ter. the special commissioner of the
treasury department, has made a re-
port to Secretary Gage on the econom-
ic and business conditions in the island
of Jamaica and their application to the
island of Cuba.
I'm comparing British administration
IN Jamaica with any possible opera
tons of the United States government
in Cuba says Mr.. Porter. 1.-The fact
of the great difference in the popula-
ton must be considered. In Jamaica
not over $4,000 of the 100000 population
are white. In Cuba a majority of the
people are white. The census of 1887
showed 1.1O2,8S9 white and 5S2, 1877 col
ored. Half a century of British rule
in Jamaica has improved these people.
nearly all of whom were slaves when
the work began. Cuba, under such a
government as England has given ia
malca, in all reasonable probability,
would have numbered at this time a
population of from four to five millions,
a greatly increased commerce, diversi-
ned industries, magnificent main and
paroch1al roads, an adequate railway
system and degree of prosperity and
civilization far in excess of that which
the United States found confronting
them when they took possession of the
island. The British royal commission,
appointed to investigate and report up
on the agricultural, commercial and in
dustrial conditions in the West Indies,
came to the conclusion that the trouble
in Jamaica was the result of the island
depending almost entirely on a single
industry, that of sugar, and recon-
mended a system of peasant proprie-
tors, diversified industries and better
means of domestic and foreign COM
munication."
Mr.. Porter says that following out
these suggestions of the royal COM
mission, great progress has been made
in all directions. With the American
fruit market inadequately supplied and
the English market practically I'M
touched, Mr.. Porter thinks that there
is hope in Cuba, especially in Santiago
province, for diversified industries Gre
ated by rapid transportation.

| Mansfield. Mo-, Jan. 3.-The 9th and
first successful attempt at train rob-
berry on the line of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott & Memphis railroad occur
red tonight at $3.50 o'clock, near
Macomb, small station five miles east
Of this point. Macomb being a flag
station, one of the robbers got aboard
the westbound train at Norwood, the
first station east of Macomb, paying
his fare to Macomb, and compelling the
train to stop there. It was Immediately
boarded by five or six masked men,
who, covering all members of the train
crew with Winchesters and revolvers,
compelled the engineer and fireman to
cut loose from the remainder of the
train. The mail, baggage and express
cars were then run up the line about
two miles and stopped in lonely cut,
where Engineer Calender was placed
in front of the robbers and forced to
break open the door of the express car,
after which he was placed in front Of
the foremost robber and together they
entered the express car, covering

tolls. forcing them to adjourn to the
outside of the car. They then proceed

charges of dynamite were used, COM
Rletely demolishing the burglar-proof
safe of the Southern Express company
and playing havoc with the car and it's
contents. 1t is not known how much
money and valuables were secured, as
the safe blown open was a through one,
being opened only at a few Of the most
important towns along the line between
Memphis and Kansas City. Every
thing was taken from it, and it is safe
to- say that they were well paid for
their trouble. The local safe, which
contained all local money picked up,
was not molested.
Special Agent Chester of the Memphis
route was aboard the train and fol-
lowed the robbers. He got close
enough to get view of them at work
and his is fairly good description of
one of them. 1t is thought that one
of the party was railroad man, he
being able to handle the engine with
all the ease of an old engineer, and
that the other members were we'll ac-

WERE ELECTED 10 JAIL
Missouri Judges Who Will Serve
Their Term in Prison.
THEY ARE IN CONTEMPT
VIII Refuse to Obey an Order OF the
Federal Courts-Their Predecessors
Released From jail When
Their Term Expired.

Kansas City, Jan. 3.-Another chap
ter in the celebrated ST. Clair county
bond case was closed to-day, when
Judge Phillips of the United States
court. ordered the release from the
county Jail here of Thomas Nivett and
Thomas Gill, judges of the ST. Clair
county court, who have been in con-
tempt of the federal court since June
last, when they refused to obey the or
der of the federal Judge directing them
to levy tax upon property holders of
81: Clair county, for the purpose. of sat
lsfylng the repudiated bonds. The st,
Clair court judges ceased to be in con-
tempt of the federal court simply be-
cause their term of Office has expired.
The taxpayers of st. Clair county
elected their successors at the Novem-
Der election, and the judges then chos-
en- were to all purposes elected into
jail, for they We're solemnly pledged to
resist the order of the federal court d.
recting the levying Of the tax.
The bond question is the one political
issue OF St Clair county. The amount
involved, including the principal and
interest for rs years, is now over a mil
non dollars. The bonds were voted and
issued in aid of a railroad, amounting
to about 100000. The promoters Of the
company secured the bonds, sold them
in the East and left the ST. Clair people
with no sign of a railroad. When the
bonds fell due the taxpayers naturally
resisted the payment and though the
federal courts eventually decided in
favor of the bondholders, the ST. Clair
county people have not, during all the
years of litigation, been disannointed In
any of the coupnty judges. whom they
have elected to resist the federal court.
Last summer Federal Judge Phillips Sc
cured an offer of a compromise from
the bondholders, who agreed to accept
the principal Of the bonds without in
terest Judge Lyon, one of the three
st. Clair county judges in Jail here,
who was serving his second term in
Jail and who was in very poor health,
agreed to vote for the tax Under these
conditions and was purged of contempt
by the federal judge. Judges hewitt
and Gill, however, spurned any offer of
compromise and served out their terms
in Jail. 1t was practically understood
that this would be the course Of Judges
hewitt and Gill, the majority of the
court, when Judge Lyon secured re-
lease by accepting the compromise.

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 3.-Major
