THE CURANS.

There is great indignation among the
Cubans belonging to the army against
General Gomez, owing to his agreement
with Robert P. Porter, the American
special commissioner, regarding the
payment of 100000 to the Cuban
army by the United States.
A number of Cuban chiefs met at Ma
riano yesterday afternoon to consider
the situation. Jose Maria Rodriguez,
second in rank after General Gomez,
said it was not within the province Of
General Gomez to decide the question
of disarmiug the troops. They charged
that General Gomez had assumed q
dictatorship and held that he could not
accept money from the Americans, and
had no authority to communicate direct
with President Mckinley without con-
sulting the assembly.
General Lacret says the army cannot
be disbanded until America keeps her
word and leaves Cuba free and indie
pendent.
A message of cordial greeting from
President Mckinley has been transmit
ted to Gen. Maxine Gomez at Rene
dos, Cuba.
Robert P. Porter advises that nearly
all the United States troops be removed
from Cuba by Auril.

PANIC CAUSED BY SMALLPOX

PANIC CAUSED BY SMALLPOX.
A dispatch from Omaha says, The
spectacle of an entire hotel full OF guests
being quarantined and armed police
men standing at every door and win
dow to prevent the people escaping was
presented in Omaha last night.
Yesterday morning three well-defned
cases of smallpox were discovered at
the Vendome Hotel, located in the ceu-
ter OF the city. The health department
was notified and plans were quickly de-
cided upon for quarantining the place.
A squad of armed policemen raced TO
the scene and when the gusts started
on their accustomed morning duties
they were driven back into the house
by force. Travelling men begged to be
permitted to get away, guaranteeing to
leave the city by the first train or afoot,
If necessary.
Several daring fellows who preferred
any sort OF an adventure to being shut
up for ten days, slipped through the
skylight, scaled the adjoining roofs,
and, making their way through the
snow and ice over the housetops mon-
aged to reach the ground in safety after
many narrow escapes. A number OF
Chicago and St. Louis travelling men
are in the hotel. Just who they are
nobody cares to examine the register at
present to nnG out.

WHY CONGRESS should declare thsi
a man holding commission in the
army cannot hold seat in that body,is
plain to every intelligent American,
but why it isn't just as plain that q
man holding any other position in the
service OF the United States is also
barred out of Congress,is not easily uu-
derstood. According to both the words
and spirit of the Constitution, Senators
Davis, Frye and Gray have no more
right to seats in the Senate than Gen
eral Wheeler has to one in the House.
Indeed their retention of their seats Is
not only unconstitutional, but is an ex-
hibition OF exceeding bad taste, and, in
fact. q gross and barefaced disregard OF
public sentiment, as though they took
part, as U. S. commissioners, in formu-
lating the Spanish treaty, they are now,
as q. S. Senators, advocating its ratif
cation.

GENERAL WHEELER is very gallant

GENERAL WHEELER is very gallant
and meritorious officer, and proved
that he is, in the war between the
States as we'll as in the late so-called war
with Spain, but he should baye known,
as every man familiar with the Consti-
tuition knows, that he could not hold a
commission in the y. S. army and
seat in the U. S. Congress at one and
the same time, and that consequently
the report OF the committee to whom
the resolution introduced by Mr.. Bailey
in respect of his case was referred,
could have been nothing else than
what it is, as exclusively printed
Yesterday in the Gazette of that date.
Every member of the House, including
Mr.. Bailey, likes the General, but every
member also knows that he bad no right
to seat in Congress, and as MIR.
Bailey is the democratic leader Of that
BODY. he was compelled TO introduce
she resolution, as he knew that the fact
that several republican members of the
House had also forfeited their seats by
accepting army commissions, would
prevent its introduction by any repub-
lican member.

the Catholic University at Washington,
is now again required. at the time of
his retirement from the rectorship of
the university, his work in this line was
not quite completed. Hence Cardinal
Gibbons has applied to the Holy See by
letter, asking that the Archbishop be
allowed to return for time to the
United States, aud lend again q help

in such g condition, financially, that it
may go on independently and without
loss.
LEO XIII left the decision of the mat

pontiff is we'll aware of the good that
the Archbishop is accomplishing in
Rome by the courses OF excellent SER
mons which he hes been preaching
since his arrival here. He was DESTROYS
that these should continue, but in view
of Cardinal Gibbons request, he will al
low the Archbishop to return until the
