Vinegar from wnterme.ons.

Last October DIR. II. G. Kedzie received
letter from a former student Of the agri-
cultural college, now residing in Texas,
asking IL vinegar could be made from the
juice of the watermelon. The professor
advised the experiment and gave direc-
tons for making. Lately he received a
sample of high-class vinegar made from
this source which contained 5.13 per cent
of acetic acid. This suggests a possible
new industry for the South where melons
grow so abundantly.

GOMEZ TO Be 4 PRESIDENT
DOOMED FOR THAT HONOR
The Movement Toward His Election IL
Begun-He IL Willing II Unanimously
Elected-The Military Assembly De-
moralixcd--Gen. Chsfh Has the Fever.

New York, March lS.-A dispatch t.
the Tribune from Havana says:
The popular demonstration in honor Of
General Gomez at the Quinta de los Me
limos seems to have been turned by the
anti-assembly leaders into something Of
a presidential boom for the grand old
man" Of Cuban politics. Most of the
speakers insisted on proclaiming the de-
posed general in chief the sole guarantor
Of insular independence and the inevitable
head Of the still unfounded Cuban repub.
lie.
In reply to these highly fiattering as
surances, General Gomez cautiously, but
still suggestively, declared that he could
not think of accepting the presidential
title unless it were bestowed upon him by
the unanimous vote Of the Cuban people.
This answer disclosed an intention sim
gularly at variance with the program he
announced in his manifesto OF Sunday
last. In that manifesto he said that his
sole desire was now to retire to private
life and end his days in peace on his plan
tation in San Domingo. His new atti.
tude is also in striking contrast with the
offer Of his sword to committee of Puer'
to Ricans who had suggested the initia-
ton of movement for the independence
of that island.
The military assembly held no meeting
yesterday and its members are hopelessly
demoralized and altogether at sea as to
their future program. One result OF the
assembly's discontinue is already apIar-
emit in the efforts being made to secure
the removal from office OF the civil gov
ernor of the city, Senior Mora, and rhe
superintendent of police, General Mario
Menocal, both of whom are accused by
the Gomez faction of having shown undue
partisanship in trying to repress the pop
ular demonstration of last Monday.
