denying the rumors in circulation to
the effect that Mataafa has been rec
ognized as king and threatening
strong action if the Provisional Gov
ernnment interfered with the Royal
lists. The German consul refused to
join with the British and American
representative and issued a procla-
nation upholding the Provisional
Government and denying that there
had been any interference with the
MaIietoa party. He added to his doc
ument an extraordinary paragraph
expressing the hope that the Provls-
ional Government would be able to
encounter the danger caused anew to
the peace of the country and the
safety of the inhabitants by the Eng
lish and American proclamations.
This has put more heart into the reb-
els, and large number of armed
warriors are gathering.
The United States cruiser Philadel-
phia, Admiral Kautz commanding,
has arrived here, and the admiral has
held extended consultations with the
various consuls, Chief Justice Cham
bers and Captain Sturdee of the Por-
poise. The American admiral has
convened meeting of the consuls,
the chief justice and the captains of
the war-ships now here, including
the German, on board the American
flagship, and it is probable that the
result will be the the presentation of
an ultimatum. 1t is generally thought
that fighting is likely to occur. The
Provisional Government has removed
the Malietoa prisoners to strong
hold on the mainland, firing volleys
over their heads during the transfer
in order to intimidate them. A friend
ly feeling is shown by the officers and
men of the Ameri can and British ma
vies here.

Gov. Page is one of the most sue
cessful business men in the state,
and it goes without saying that if he
should be elected as Judge Powers
successor, he will fill the position with
honor and credit, and bring to it all
the advantages of the business meth
DDS with which he is so thoroughly
familiar. We do not know of any
man in the state who is better qualifi-
ed in every way for membership in
the halls of our national legislature
than Gov. Page. and if events should
shape themselves in such a manner
that the way for his election should
be opened to him, it would be most
gratifying to his many thousand
friends in this state, and thus Vermont
would continue to honor herself by
sending to congress men of the
highest stamp and character.-Batr

Congressman Grout Ger tainly rep
resented the prevalent and best SEN
timent among his constituents in his
active efforts to abolish the canteen
system from the regular army, which
efforts were crowned with success SO
far as the House was concerned.
Though there are some strong argu-
ments in favor of the canteen, there
can be little doubt that on the whole
the system is very injurious to man

COUNTY COURT.

The case of Elkins VS.. Mooney, was
finished last week, the jury returning
verdict for the plaintiff for the face
of the note in dispute and interest.
Court opened Monday afternoon
with the case of Silvia A. Clement VS..
Aaron Skinner. This was an action
for breach of promise. The plaintiff
opened the case by putting the de-
fendant Skinner upon the witness
stand and giving him regular cross
examination with reference to the
facts in the case as alleged by the
plaintiff.
Mr.. Skinner testified that he was 68
Clement on Aug. '95, at Willoughby
Lake that he was introduced to her by
Mrs. Daniel Skinner and on that ac-
casion did not become much acquaint-
ed with her. Mr.. Skinner said he
wrote to Miss Clement about the mid
die of September '96 asking if he
might become better acquainted and in
course of a few days received a favor
able reply. Said that about a week
after receiving her letter, he and Mrs.
Daniel Skinner called on Miss Clement
at Barton Landing and that Mrs Skin
ner then gave him formal introduc-
ton to Miss Clement also Miss Glenn
ent's mother. Said he made the call
in the evening and stayed
about half an hour, and on leaving
4oll hot I,
again in about week, and did SO,
which time was the following Sunday,
that at this time he told Miss Clement
that she could not help knowing what
his Intentions were in asking for
further acquaintance and in making
these visits. Said Miss Clement said
she thought she knew what his pur-
pose was and the engagement was
made that evening. Said he asked how
soon she would be ready to be mar
ried, and that Miss Clement informed
him that she would be ready in two or
three weeks, that she wanted to dis
pose of her stock of millinery goods
first. Said he talked with her about
her financial standing and that she
told him that her stock of goods
amounted to about So, 900 and that she
was owing about $4OO in notes; said he
told Miss Clement that be would not
be ready to be married for time as
his house needed some repairing and
he would have to get the tenant out
first. Mr.. Skinner said there was a
proviso in the marriage agreement;
said he told Miss Clement if any
trouble came up between them that
either. would be at liberty to break
the engagement and that to this she
consented. Mr.. Skinner said that he
called on Miss Clement from time to
time and corresponded with her un-
til about the middle of November: that
he had been SO happy since meeting
her and that everything had gone
SO smoothly that it seemed to him
that the Lords hand was it. Said he
did not know of Miss Clement adver-
tising her goods for sale and not know
of her making any effort to dispose of
them but thought, on being shown a
circular in which Miss Clements
goods were advertised that he did re-

GENERAL GOMEZ DISMISSED.

The Cuban Assembly has removed
General Gomez from the head of the
Cuban army because as they claim he
has been negotiating with the United
States in regard to matters which
should have first been referred to
them, and that in agreeing to certain
things he has proven himself to be a
traitor to his country. Gen. Porter,
who has been sent to Cuba by Presi
dent Mckinley in order to see Gomez
and attempt to arrange with him for
the disbandment of the Cuban army,
succeeded in securing his agreement
to the acceptance of the $4,000 900
which Congress voted to set aside for
the payment of the Cuban soldiers,
and the troops were to disband and
return to their homes. The Asse M
bly, maintains that in order for the
soldiers to settle down a nd be able to
live comfortably for the present that
it will take no less than twelve or
fifteen millions of dollars, as they are
now destitute and their farms have
been over-run by the Spanish armies
until it will take some time for them
to recover and get their crops started
again. The Assembly has tried hard
to get loan of this amount but has
failed. General Gomez has a much
stronger hold upon the Cuban people
than the Assembly and the attempts
to humiliate him will only be a failure
as it will bring him still closer to the
people. He has a strong following in
the army and large perc entage of
the soldiers will follow his leadership.
The United States has never acknow-
ledged the Assembly in any way and
President Nc Kinley will be likely to
go on with the negotiations as though
they had not taken this action. There

which they are placed.
