GOMEZ'S MAN IN LONDON
Makes Spectacular Fool OF Himself
at the Last Moment.

London, Feb. "A former captain IN inc
Cuban army, Juan Fernandez, the London
representative of General Maxine Gomez,
issued, by order of the latter today, pre-
vious to the receipt of the Remedies dis
patch of the Associated Press showing the
settlement Of the great Cuban difficulty,
long, bombastic statement purporting to
explain the situation in Cuba. He said:
'sThe proffered S, 600 900 for the payment
of the Cuban troops has been refused IS
totally inadequate TO meet the expenses
and losses of the troops, many of whom
have lost all proofs that they are owners
of property, which is now being monopo-
lized by American capitalists and railroad
magnates EEven twice the 500. 600 900 de-
manded by General Gomez would not prop
erly recoup the Cubans. We all respect
President Mckinley and the American
government, but we have no respect for
the petty officials employed by the United
States government, who are exercising as
bad tyranny toward the Cubans as durin<
the Spanish regime. This tyranny and
lack of money is driving the Cubans head
long to rebellion. If the demands are not
satisfied they viii follow in the footsteps
of the Philippines and resist to the death
the authority Of the United States in Cuba.
God knows how it will result. but carnage
and the humiliation of the Cubans IS In
eyitable.
God forbid that 1t should come to that
1 will even add 'Vive RepubHca de Amer
icanos.'"
Fernandez recounts in the course Of his
statement, as an example OF the alleged
tyranny of minor officials, the story of the
alleged employment of himself by United
States naval attache in London to proceed
to Spain on secret service during the war.
He relates the dangers heSncountered and
the success he achieved and says when he
returned here tn United States embassy
refused to make him any further psv-
ments, although he was $3.50 out of pocket
above the travelling expenses given him.
He further asserts that the United States
ambassador refused to see him, although
he claims he had letter from the depart
ment Of state, in reply to his complaint
telling him to see the ambassador.

FINDINGS IN EAGAN'S CASE
Now in the Presidents Hands for
Final Review

Washington, Feb. 2.-The record OF the
court martial in the case of General Eagan
is now in the hands OF the president for
final review. Today Mr.. Worthington, at
torney for General Eagan. filed with the
judge advocate general the additional. or
supplementary plea which he was granted
permission TO lodge. 1t was an elabora-
ton of the points made by counsel before
the court martial. A formidable array of
authorities has been produced, particularly
IN support of the contention that General
Eagan's conduct, though the facts be adj
mitted, was not legally in the line Of tue
charge of conduct unbeconing an officer
and a gentleman.
This paper was placed by the Judge ad
yocate general in ths hands Of the adju-
tsat general and Will be added to the
papers bearing on the case now In the
hands OF the president.

question of the recognition OF the Cuban

involved General Gomez acquiesced In
this premise more readily than might have
been expected, in view of his reputed hos
tility to the United States.

GROUNDING DAY AT Ell RENO

FL Reno, o. T, Feb. 2.-(Special)-To-
day is grounding day. and the one that
came out of his hole on the bank of the
North Canadian this morning has not at
this time, o'clock p. m, returned 10 it.
The winter thus far has been an unu-
sually sever one. For the past two weeks
there has been, at times. very cold
weather. Last Saturday night and Sun
day was the coolest of the winter. At
the coolest time, early Sunday morning,
the thermometer registered two degrees
below zero. Since the opening OF the
country to settlement IL has never been
so cold as il has been for the last two
weeks. There have been days when the
mercury fell to twenty degrees above
zero, but never has it fallen like it did
Sunday morning.
Wheat has not been hurt in the least,
and cattle have pulled through better
than was expected.

BIG FURNITURE DISPLAY
HIGH POINT HOUSES TO MAKE A COM
BINED EXHIBIT.
Space for it Now Being Cleared out. A New
Arrangement for Poultry Exhibit
This Year.

The space formerly occupied by the
State Board Of Agriculture at the State
Fair will, this year. be occupied by a
monster furniture exhibit participated
in by all the furniture factories OF
High Point, of which there are, be-
lieye, twenty-five. The space for this
exhibit is already being cleared and pre-
pared for it.
This exhibit will be one of the unique
features of the fair and will be one
OF its real surprises to our own peo-
pie, as well as others, who have not kept
themselves posted as to the extent OF the
furniture manufactures of High Point
and the variety and excellence OF the
products turned out.
For High Point it will, of course, be a
great advertisement as the exhibit VIII
be confined to the manufacturers OF
that town.
Another important feature of the fair
this year will be the poultry exhibit.
The old coops have been thrown out
and new uniform wire coops put in
in place of Them, all neatly painted, and
arranged for the convenience OF specta-
tors. The lighting facilities which We're
hitherto poor have been greatly inn
proved by the removal of the planking
and the substitution of wire netting.
