WILL LOOK FOR GOMEZ.
The Cuban Warrior Will be Invited
to Leave the Woods.

Havana, Jan. 5.-General Maxine
Gomez is, of course, a great figure i'm
the minds of the Cuban people; but
the younger military men-men like
Generals Mayia Rodriguez, Jose Go
mez and Mario Menocal-are a little
tired of his domination and are dis
posed to accept an arrangement with
the Americans without consulting him.
Suggestions to this effect have been
communicated to the United States
military administration, which, though
well disposed to General Gomez, is
pleased to receive any and all promi-
nent Cuban gentlemen who are willing
to discuss public questions. General
Brooke has declined proposal to send
a special envoy into the woods to find
Gomez and to treat with him as an
equal power in the island.
But the Junta Patriotica has de-
puted Generals Betancourt and Carde-
mas to invite Gomez to reside near
Havana and to give the Cubans the
benefit of his counsel. They viii start
in a day or two for Jinaguayabo
where he is. Gomez continues I'm his
correspondence, cautiously To criticizf
the Americans.
La Libertad refers to letter today
written to the iunta in the course OF
which Gomez says he will not enter
Havana unless at the head Of the Gu
ban army

for some time numerous complaints
had been received at the postal in
spectors office in this city, from peo-
pie in different parts of Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana, South Carolina and
Louisiana, and asserted that they had
been swindled out of large sums of
money by reason Of the defendants
failure to make good his promises.
Continuing Inspector Holden said that
the defendant would write letters prin-
cipally To mayors of small towns. The
letters suggested to them the found
ing of cob pipe factories in their re-
spective localities, and asserted that
about 81, coo would be required to pur-
chase machinery and put the plant in
working order. Many advanced money
after an interview with Ringbeck or
one of his representatives. In some
instances the defendant secured ma
chinery at a small price, the inspector
said, but it proved to be worthless.
Charles y. Bruninger, burgess Of
Strasburg, Lancaster, Pa, testified
that Ringbeck had succeeded in get
ting $1,000 from him in the manner eX-
planned by Inspector Holden. The wit
ness also said that the defendant had
gone as far as to send one of his repre-
sentatiVes to him and suggest that he
buy n carload of a particular quality
of cubs for the work Continuing, he
said he paid $500 for a load of cobs. He
discovered later that the members OF
the supposed firm to which he paid the
$500 were i'm the scheme.

AN OLD WE'LL FOUND.

The teachers and scholars at the No.
2 school building on North Blakely
street received quite a scare yesterday
morning. While the pupils were en-
joying the few minutes leisure time
prior to the opening of school for the
day session, they discovered a large
hole in the ground. The janitor, Sid
ney Matthews. was told of the occur
renee and started to find the cause of
it. In the meantime the news that q
cave had taken place beneath No. .
building spread like wildfire and many
different stories were in circulation
concerning it. One story grew so large
that it told Of the whole side of the
building was in danger of falling. The
janitor found the cause of the sink
ing to be an old well, which was upon
the property before being bought by
the school board.
