GOMEZ STILL PETULENT.
Leader Of the Cuban Army Withdraws to
RemediOs, Where He IL Nursing His
Wounded Feelings.

Remedies, Cuba Jan. 94.--Gen.
Gomez, commander-in-chief of the
Cuban army, has withdrawn to this
part of the island. He is here nursing
his feelings Of alleged injury sustained
at the hands of our government As a
salve to these injured feelings Of
neglect he has been receiving the
adulations of the Cuban populace of
the various towns through which
he has passed. Gen. Gomez re-
mains at the head of the
Cuban army. He considers this
to be his post until the army is paid
off. The need for this purpose, accord
ing to the Cubans, is $40, OO0 900, which
would give nearly $1,000 to each sol.
der Gomez will soon proceed to San
ia Clara. This city is the capital of
the province and was such hotbed Of
Spanish sympathy during the Cuban
war that Cubans to-day, in their hour
of victory, ignore the towns name and
have christened it Villa Clara.

Mansfield, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Seventy-six
witnesses in all have been subpGnaed
for the preliminary hearing Of John
Kennedy, charged with completely in
the Macomb holdup, and of these but
four were examined yesterday, the
first day of the hearing. The state
made a very poor showing, one Of the
witnesses particularly failing signally
to stand the test Of cross-examina-
ton. The defense received an affi-
davit from Mrs. Elmer Byrum, wife
of the man who confessed. and
whose confession duplicates all those
under arrest. to the effect that her
husband told her he had been prom
ised a 4O.acre farm by the railroad
company for his confession. She also
swears that the man Wright. who was
at their house, and Kennedy are not
the same person. This affidavit will
be introduced in evidence tomorrow
If Mrs. Byrum is placed on the stand,
and it is expected that it may lead to
a break in Byrum's evidence.

lists combining on some repu blican
least Objectionable to them who could
muster enough republican votes to
elect him, was discussed, and Senator
Allen and W. ]. Bryan. who were pres

plan. The caucus decided to continue
to vote for Senator Allen until the
matter was more thoroughly can
vassed. A break, however, is pretty
sure to come this week. Hayward's
vote was one greater yesterday than
at any time since the balloting began,
