GOMEZ is NOT SATISFIED.
Advises Cubans to Fit Themselves
for Government.
TO GET RID OF AMERICANS
Ensurgent Leader Holds AlOof from Our
Representatives the Isla
Army.

Havana, Jan. 4.-Gen. Maxine Co
mex, commander-in-chief of the Cuban
army, was recently invited by the Jun
| ia Patriotica to visit Havana At a
meeting of the junta Tuesday letter
was read from Gen. Gomez, in which
he refused to come to the city, basing
his refusal on the ground that his place
is at the head of the army. He added:
much tact and wisdom are neces-
sary to make the American heel less
severe on our necks. You need to dis
play great intelligence, ability and
well-directed energy"
In a proclamation addressed to the
Cuban people and army, which is
printed in all the papers here, Gen.
Gomez says:
GA new era has begun. The enemies
of our army are leaving the country
and the sovereignty of the island,
which is neither free nor independent,
is exercised by the great American ma
ton. According to the treaty of peace
a foreign power is on the island, and
it's military occupation cannot end I'M
til the government of the Cuban people
is established. We ought to imme-
diately put ourselves to the task of
forming that government in order to
end the American intervention as
quickly as possible, but before this it
is necessary, because it is just, and
in order that all of us can become
civilians, to end satisfactorily the ne
gotiations for the payment of the army,
a debt contracted by the country with
it's faithful soldiers. While the army
is not paid and our government not
established, will remain at the head
of the army, which deem is my place.
J am resolved to help the Cubans end
the work to which l have devoted all
NV life -

ENDORSE "COIN'S" PLAN.

paiTn of 1900.

Democrats Collect Cash for the Cam
paiTn of 1900.
Chicago. Jan. A Money for the dem
ocratic national campaign of 1900 was
the need discussed all day yesterday by
three members of the ways and means
committee, together with associates
high in the ranks of the party from
various parts of the United States.
When the conferences finally ended
about midnight, after w. J. Bryan had
taken his departure for Cincinnati, an
nouncement was made that the scheme
of w. H. Harvey to raise funds had
been Endorsed.
This plan provides for the collection
Of 81 d month from members of the
party. Evidence was shown to the
members of the ways and means COM
mittee that the country, particularly
Indiana and the middle states, had
been thoroughly canvassed, and that
the plan was popular among demo-
Gratis.
After the conference Senator Jones
said: "The leading issue of 1900 will
be silver"
cat ratio of 16 to II" he was
asked.
He stroked his gray beard, leaned
back in his chair, winked and said: 81
don't know of anybody who wants to
change the ratio" Then he continued:
81 believe I speak for the rest when
say that I am opposed to making the
islands an integral part Of the United
States. We should protect them until
the Philippines can form republic of
their own, and l would favor letting
Cuba and Porto Rico form themselves
into a republic. l am opposed to any
increase of the standing army. We
might vote an army of occupation, to
be disbanded when the necessity for 1t
no longer existed. The volunteers
should be discharged at once.
Cali these questions, think, will be
settled before the campaign opens, and
silver will then overshadow everything
else"

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 4.-Efforts to
form a combination by which J. Frank
Hanly can be defeated for the nomi-
nauon for senator are being made. If
the present plan can be carried out
the strongest man among the four
anti-Hanly candidates will be agreed
upon before the end of the week.
Much, it is announced, will depend
upon the showing made by the several
candidates on first and second ballot.
The friends of Gov. Mount made an.
other effort to bring him into the con-
test, and it now seems probable that
his name may be used if the deadlock
is not broken before the caucus meets.

The preliminary senatorial campaign
has closed in Milwaukee, and will be
transferred to Madison. Mr.. Quarles
is anIeasy leader, and has led from the
beginning. He is the best man and
deserves support in his candidacy.
Senator Roehr in speaking of the cam
paign said, 1T shall support Mr..
,Quarles because believe that he has
&he ability to represent us creditably
at this time" He is a clear thinker, a
good speaker, and unquestionably
honest. With John G. Spooner and
Joseph V. Quarles as it's representa-
tives in the United States Senate, Wis
consin could challenge any other state
to show a better representation.

To Improve Illinois Guard.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 4.-Adjt.- Gen.
Jasper N. Reece has issued his report
for the years 1897 and 1898, and placed

sion to secret and other societies to

of the local army code; appropriations
sufficient to maintain a standing state
militia, so as to be always ready for

The Temps of Paris Draws Gloomy
Picture to Americas Future
New York, Jan. 4-The Temps
draws a gloomy picture of the future
of the United States, says a Herald
dispatch from Paris. 1t says that the
United States cannot hide the fact that
it ''has said good-by forever to the
idyllic era wherein it dispensed with
the regular standing army and laugN
ed at the heavy burdens imposed upon
the nations of the eastern continent by
their international situation.
There is not a democrat, not a
friend of the principles that regulate
modern society,"" continues the Temps,
that does not deplore bitterly the in
oculation with spirit of conquest of
territories and expansion, of democ-
racy that hitherto has been peaceful
and liberal.

Although tempting opportunity of
fers for the presentation of the most
forcible argument for the speedy rati-

ringing message to congress on the
subject, President Mckinley has de-
cided to leave the presentation of the
merits of the treaty to it's friends in

BURROWS BOUND TO WIN.
Candidate Pack Does Not Expect b
Michigan's Next Senator.

Michigan's Next Senator.
Lansing, Mich, Jan. 4.-The sena-
torial situation has undergone a de-
cided change and there no longer re-
mains the slightest doubt that julius
Caesar Burrows will succeed himself
as United States senator. This is free
ly conceded by the Pack managers,
who have practically abandoned the
contest, although it has not been de-
cided to withdraw Packs name.
The speakership fight narrowed
down to John J. Carton of Genesee and
E. J. Adams of Kent. Gov. Pingree,
who has supported Carton from the
start, took a lively hand in the fight
as soon as the opposition centered on
Adams, and for the remainder of the
day worked openly for the latter, per-
sonally Iaboring with the representa-
tives. The defeat of Carton means the
organization of the house against Pin
gree legislation.
The result of the first ballot for
speaker showed how close the contest
has been. Every person entitled to
vote was present and each candidate
received 46 votes. Adams won on the
second ballot, receiving 48 votes to A
for Carton. George E. Gillian Of Har-
risville was nominated for speaker
pro tenn. by reclamation.

The Rev. Judson Ellsworth in his
sermon on " Legislation and passes"
has thrown a new light on half fare
rates to clergymen. These rates he
regards as brides. We cannot suppose
that clergyman in buying his ticket
thinks that he is accepting bride, nor
that the railroad company in selling is
offering bride. For what purpose?
Nothing is expected on either side.

Less Danger of Trouble.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The situation
in the Philippines is still source of
worry to official minds, but the anxiety
Of the president and the cabinet was
greatly relieved on account of a te-a e
gram from Gen. Otis expressing the
belief that there was less danger of
trouble. This message was laid before
the cabinet at it's regular meeting. 1t
was general in terms and did not spe-
city any particular place where the
conditions had improved. 1t did not
indicate that Gen. Otis had heard any
news from Iliolo since he sent the dis
patch received on Sunday in which the
gravity of the situation at Iloilo was
set forth.
But that situation is not causing
nearly as much concern as the condi-
ton of things in the vicinity of Ma
Mia, where Aguinaldo's main army is
gathered. In accordance with instruc-
lions sent to Gen. Otis he has sent to
Brig.-Gen. Miller at IlOilo copy of the
proclamation cabled to him a few days
ago, in which the intention of the
United States to treat the FilipinOs hu-
namely and justly is explained, and it
is believed that when Gen. Miller is
sues this proclamation at Iloilo the
present defiant attitude of the insur-
gents there will change, and Gen. Mil
ler's forces will be permitted to land
without opposition.
The government has determined to
avoid a conflict with the FIlipinos if it
is possible to do so. Gen. Otis was so
informed in the instructions tele-
graphed to him on Sunday.

cuted. Judge Ames overruled the mo-
ton for a continuance and the case
