The Cuban Commander Wars
Nearly Sixty Million Dollars
to Pay His Soldiers.
ne REFUSES TO DIsBAND us ARMY.
Tho Inaurgent General Endeavoring To Dis

xalo Quesada to Have Ipterview
with Gen. Gomez About His Demand.

Washington, Feb. ,1.-Maximo Go.
meZ, the Cuban commander, has de-
manded nearly 500. 600, 900 from the
United States and refuses to disband
his army" until the money is paid.
He has repudiated the arrangement
made by Calixto Garcia, who came to
Washington with authority from Gen.
Gomez to provide for the return of the
work was barely accomplished before
his sudden death on December IL. 1t
was then agreed that the United
States, in order to secure the prompt
resumption of labor on the plan tations
of the island, with a view of promot.
ing the speedy revival of prosperity
and settled conditions. should distrib-
ute about $4,000, 900 among the $4,000
Cubans said to be still under arms.
The money was to be divided in the
ratio of 500 man. the officers in pro-
portion to their rank to receive a great
er amount, the ordinary enlisted men
to be discharged with sums not less
han 500, depending on the length of
service and other considerations. For
over month the pay corps of the
army has been making ready to carry
out this arrangement. The national
defense fund is available for the pur.
pose.
Gen. Gomez has come out against
this scheme. which was operating sat-
isfactorily to most Cubans. and has
struck for greater stakes. 1t is offici-
ally known here that he is endeavor-
ing to dissuade Cubans from accepting
Office under American occupation and
Is urging all the natives of every
grade to stay with him in the field un-
til the United States is compelled to
accede to his terms of disbandment."
Gen. Gomez now alleges that his
army consists of ~. 900 men and he in.
,ists that most of them shall be paid for
three years service at the rates that
prevail in the United States army. He
likes the date of the Cuban declaration

generals, each rated. according to the

There was Il judgment for plaintiff in
the lower court and defendant except
ed.
The Court says:
The defendant excepted to the charge
of the judge in regard to its liability in
view of these subsequent events, which
occurred before it became necessary to
commit the plaintiff to q hospital for
the insane. We see no error in this
part of the charge. The jury were in
structcd that the defendant would not
be liable If the plaintiffs condition was
not caused by the accident to her, but
by these two subsequent occurrences, or
either of them. The judge further said:
IF. from all the evidence in the case,
you are unable to distinguish the cause
of this mental disease,-that is, if you
are unable to distinguish whether 1t
was the accident of October, 1894. or the
accident to James Dunn. or the acct

of this mental disease-it would be
your duty TO find for the defendant on
