Santiago de- Cuba, March 14.-Much
excitement prevails in Santiago owing
TO the action of the military assembly
In dismissing Gen Gomez from the post
Of commander in chief. Cubans Of all
classes emphntically repudiate the as

does not represent the national demand
and that no attention Is paid TO Its acts
by the American government. The gem
eral opinion is that the Ossembly's
action is the scverest blow that has
been dealt 20 the legitimate aspirations
of Cuba since the American occupation
began, as such behavior proves 20 the
world that the Cubans are incapable Of
self-government. FL Provenir says:
ut means two years more Of American
occupation"

Havana, March 13.-Gen. Maxine

"By the use OF the supreme faculties with
which II Is endowed the assembly. repre-
senting the army only, has deposed me as

fact that do not aid II in efforts 10 raise

greatest financial and political interests or

OF want OF respect. The primary cause for
the action taken agaisst me is my convic-

VIII Garry Out the Gomez Deal.
Washington March 13.--ThiS coun-
try has never recognized the Cuban as
sembly as anything more than volun-

hence it's action as to Gen. Gomez will
not interfere with the plans of the
United States regarding the disband-
ment and payment Of the so-called
Cuban army. The arrangement
was made with Gomez and IL will be
carried out with him. He agreed to dis
band his troops, and they will be paid
on that basis. The United States au-
thorities do not know that such body
as the Cuban assembly exists and

THE rejection by the territorial council of Hon. Chas. A. Drake of Tucson, nominated by the gover- nor for Regent of the University of Arizona, was as pure a piece of pol itical spite and cussedness as was ever known in Arizona. Mir. Drake is sterling citizen, a most estemable gentlemen, with wide experience and would have made model regent; but because he is chairman of the republican terri torial committee democratic coun- cil turned him down.

APoLoGEriC.

The paucity of reading matter,
 and diminished number of pages in
 TIE OASIS this week is due to the
 fact that the greater part of the
 time since last Saturday night has
 been taken in removing from the
 building on Morley avenue, which
 has been occupied by the publica- tion office during period extend ing over four and one-quarter years. The work of taking down four tons of heavy printing machinery, and as many more of type, type cases, racks, etc, transporting them across the town, setting them up and put ling them in order again, was a long and tiresome job, which taxed to the utmost everyone connected with the force, and left but little time for editorial writing, news gathering, type setting, etc.
 The publication office of THE OASIS is now located in the new building of MT. J. T. Brickwood, at the junction of Avery avenue and Terrace road, directly across the Arroyo from the depot of the New Mexico & Arizona railway, and adjacent to the structure of the Mexican Methodist church. The editorial office, composing room and. stock room are upon the upper floor of the building, with the en- rance on Avery avenue; the pres. room and job department are on the over floor, facing the Terrace road. The new structure is commodius. 'oomy, well lighted and convenient md is admirably fitted for a news paper and printing office. Its loca- ion is also very advantageous. Business has been gradually ex- along that side of town, everal new and very imposing business structures are now arising n the immediate vicinity, and | others, work upon which will soon 'e commenced, are in contempla- ion.

 the names of the gentlemen whom
 Governor Murphy has designated
 to launch and conduct until the
 year 1900 the public business of
 Santa Cruz county. On the whole
 it is very good list of officials, and
 in the entire lot there are but two
 who are at all objectionable as viewed through the spectacles of THE OASIS.
 In the gentleman named for sheriff, Mir. Harry Barnett of Crit tenden, the people are given as chief executive officer of the new county an energetic, capable and fearless official who will do his duty faithfully and well. No bet ter appointment could have been made.
 For probate judge and school superintendent Judge Williams falls into the place naturally as having been elected to a corresponding post-in part--in the old county of Pima.
 As district attorney, in Colonel Willis P. Harlow, Governor Mur- phy has selected an attorney of commanding ability and exalted att tainmcnts, although we doubt whether Colonel Harlow can afford to lay aside his fine private practice for the small salary and scanty emolument of the new position.
 In appointing Mir. Fred Herrera treasurer Governor Murphy has given deserved recognition to that sterling financial institution, the International Bank, and has put the funds of the new county into safe hands.
 It is stated that Governor Mur- phy has urged MT. Herrera to ap- point Mir. R. D. George his office deputy, thus giving recognition to another faithful public official. good republican and upright gentleman,
 MT. W. N. Cummings was put down for county treasurer upon the slate sent up by the Mckinley | Club of Nogales, the appointment of which was urged by the alleged | club. Governor Murphy desired to give the club some recognition, so he picked out Mir. Cummings as the most likely representative, but wouldn't put him into the treasury, SO he was made recorder.
 MT. C. k. Perkins, county sur veyor, is 2 most capable engineer, and an elegant gentleman. He has served as surveyor of Pinal county. He is well known busi- ness man of Nogales.
 For supervisors of the new county Messrs. R. R. Richardson of Crit tenden, George w. Atkinson of and Doctor A. H. Noon of Orc Blanco, will make an ideal board. Mir. Richardson was elected ast year to a seat in the Pima
