and family, but also for the respect shown
TO the memory of his son Francisco, who
was killed in battle at the time the brave
Maceo met his death. The enthusiasm
aroused by General Gomez's words was be-
yond description. One man in the crowd
shouted Long live Gomez the first Presi-
dent of the Republic OF Cuba and the cry
was taken up by the entire crowd.
A committee of citizens subsequently WIS.,

Cubans were eager to show In an election
that they wish him to be President. Gomez

his only ambition was TO be useful to the
people of Cuba. For himself he asked

Ingalls, arrived here yesterday, having on
board Colonel Moale and a sum of money
for the payment. of the Cuban troops in
this district These men would have been
paid before this had 1t not been for the

San Luis Crysto, Songo, and Ell Caney as
the places at which payments shall be
made. There are only ten American sol

pated. The other towns were designated in
order to facilitate the disbursement of the
money. There are nearly 14.0e0 soldiers
on the payrolis. Many are coming in who.

about accepting money from the Ameri-

THE BADGER ARRIVES.
No Friction Exists Among the Samo-
an Commissioners.

Commissioners.
San Francisco, Aug. 6.-The cruiser
Badger arrived from Samoa early this
morning. bringing Commissioners Bartlett
Trip and Baron Sternburg. The Commits
sioners gave additional information con-
corning the situation in the islands Mr..
Trip and the baron are on terms of friendly
good fellowship and are absolutely agreed
on their view of the situation. Both de-
clare that the stories of friction in the
Commission are absolutely unfounded. Brit
ish Commissioner Elliott is in hearty ac-
cord with his fellow members and only
went to New Zealand to visit relatives. He
will arrive on the next mail steamer.
Mr.. Trip said today:
Il feel absolutely certain that there will
be no more trouble in the islands. The
form of government we have recommended
for the natives is that which the natives
themselves have selected and we received
assurance from the rival chiefs before
our departure that there would be no more
fighting. The foreign traders who are
clamoring for the maintenance Of ships at
Apia do so from selfish motives"
The foreign element in the islands is not
such as to be entitled to great considera-
ion. according to the Commissioners. Du-
ring the talk Baron Sternburg endorsed all
