Rolls of the Cuban Forces Finally
Delivered to Gen. Brooke.
HAVANA, April 18.-The Cuban gener-
ais this afternoon waited upon Gen.
Maximo Gomez officially and informed
him that they desired him to represent
the army in any negotiations with the
United States military authorities In
Cuba. Gen. Gomez accepted the trust,
after which all waited upon Gov. Gen.
Brooke to discuss with him the details
of disarmament and payment. Gems. Car
rillo, Diax Alexandra Rodriguez, Rafael
Rodriguez, Carlos Roloff, Nunez, Nod
arise. Boza. Castillo and Vega were pres
ent at the official notification, represent
ing the fourth, fifth and sixth army corps,
which had requested Gomez to accept the
representation Of the army. Gen Gomez,
in his response, said:
Since by the dissolution Of the mill
tary assembly the Cuban army has been
without representative in a position to
serve Its interests and the general inter-
ests Of Cuba as connected with those of
the army, l gladly accept the post you
offer, for the purposes specified, but I
Insist upon a council of generals to ad-
wise and assist me, and that those gem
erals shall receive the arms Of the SOL
diers and hold them as trophies and SOU
venirs of the last glorious Cuban strug-
gle for liberty
AS soon as this work is completed I de-
sire full liberty to withdraw to a foreign
country, or to any part Of Cuba, there to
spend the remainder of my days. We
must recognize that the only power today
IN Cuba is the power Of those who have
interviewed, and, therefore, for the pres
ent, thoughts Of Cuban Independent gov
ernment can be no more than dreams"
Gen. Gomez also proposed that after the
work of disbandment was completed the
council of generals should be continued
under the Craftsmanship of Gen. Bartol-
ONO Maso, as head and front of the Gu
ban people, provisional government as
sisting in promoting the Cubans' well
fare under the control OF the Americans.
The original rolls of the Cuban army
were delivered to Gov. Gen. Brooke at 8
O'Clock this evening. Senior Domingo

long prominent In Cuban affairs, volun-

PIERRE, S. D., April 13.-(Special y
Gov. Lee today addressed a letter to
President Mckinley. requesting the early
return of the First South Dakota volun-
teer infantry, now under the command of
Gen. Otis, in the Philippines. The gov
ernor takes the position that the First
South Dakota regiment was enlisted for
the war against Spain, which was ended
by the signing of the Paris peace treaty.
Since the war for which they were en-
listed is ended, the people feel that the
soldiers from this state should be re-
turned, as they have fulfilled every obli-
cation which they owe to their country
and to their flag under the terms of the
enlistment.
Gov. Lee holds that present or future re-
tention of the volunteers in service in the
Philippines is unconstitutional and vio-
lation of the law which called the regiment
into organization.
So far as the people of South Dakota
are concerned, Gov. Lee states, they do
not know that any war exigencies exist.
The fighting which has been done in the
island of Luzon is regarded as an enter
prise which lacks the consent of con-
greSS. Inc course OF the constituted
authorities is regarded as an effort to
subjugate aliens to the authority of the
United States, a course which is repug-
nant to the fundamental principles of the
government and violation of the Dec
laration of Independence. Continuing,
Gov. Lee says:
Our people take great pride in their
soldiers They have viewed their brilliant
exploits and their gallant devotion to the
tasks assigned them with pride which is
both natural and pardonable, but a fur
ther display of their ability and wiling
ness to die in obedience to orders of their
superiors can neither add to their glory
or to their country's honor.
The hundreds of relatives and thou
sands of friends of this regiment would
willingly bear the loss of the best man
hood of the state if they felt that their
soldiers were fighting to defend homes and
firesides, or to save the union of states, or
to eXpel despotism from any quarter of
the earth but they have reasorl~to regard
the further sacrifice of our soldiers in a
confict against liberty and in the interest
of exploiting imperialism, as totally in
compatible with the spirit of our institu-
tions and more grievous hardship than
We should be compelled to bear.,"'

MIR. BELMoNTs REMARKS.
synopsis of the Speech of the Pres
fdent of the Democratic CIub.

1t is fitting that this Democratic club
celebrate the birthday of him whose
nnd monument Is the. Declaration of Inde-
the first secretary of state, the construc-
tor Of the first Democratic platform, the
FOUNDER OF the Democratic party.
THOMAS Jefferson was a party man of
tne Democratic type. To him as DEM
ocrat, the world is debtor for that
hnt which wa, was a. novelty in political govern
claimed, the doctrine that the right to
lie liberty and the pursuit of happi-
is na1enanle and to gov
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned." AS a lawgtver, the Northwest
ern ordinance. framed by him, is his i'm
perishable record. 1t has been. under the
constitution. a source of the greatness
and power and chief popularity of the
Amerfcan 17Sa dsa,s Union It, It was formulated in
after the Mexican war for the govern
ment of territories theoretically under
the absolute control Of congress, yet al
in order that they may fit themselves to
become American states. AS diplo-
matist and skillful politician the acquisi-
present rivalry. fo his gre great tes achieve. sohd a.
ment our country owes the vast domain
west of the Mississippi now the seat of
eleven prosperous states. May our coun-
try always have such president when
the wise enlargement of tn national do
main becomes expedient or necessary
the teachings Of Jefferson and traditions
of his party would today have a definite
policy perfectly understood by the ma
ton at large. but modern Republicanism
is inopportunism-no one knows whittier
1t Is going. The opportunist often docs
what is most inopportune. The. politi-
clan influenced by expediency often does
what Is most inexpedient. The present
Republican policy is thrift and drift.

DREYFUS TESTIMONY.
Figaro Publishes That Given In nv
Gen. BOisdeffere

Gen. BOisdefPere
PARIS, April 13.-The Figaro, continu-
ing its publication of testimony offered
before the board of cessation in the Drew
fus revision inquiry, says that Gen. De
Bofsdeffere, who was chief of the French
general staff at the time Dreyfus was
condemned, declined to reply to uues-
t1ons concerning the communication of
the secret dossier to the court martial
He said he was aware that the confess
sion of Dreyfus on the day of his degra-
dation were kept in silence because a
foreign power had been mentioned Re-
counting Col. Picquart's Investigations.
aiming to substitute Commandant Ester
hazy for Dreyfus, Gen. De Boisdeffere
said Picquart failed to find proofs of Es-
terhazys treason, and yet continued his
eTorts In that direction. He was sent
abroad. Lieut.. Col. Henry's forgery, in
view Of Its origin, was never suspected.
The witness confirmed the statement
oil Gen. Gonz that two different versions
were given Of the cipher telegram from
q foreign attache dated Nov. g. 1894. and
that on this account it was ignored. He
denied that Col. Sandherr ever emploved
Esterhazy as an Intermediary. He said
also that he had only an Imperfect
knowledge of the doings of Col. Du Patv
de Clam. ~

became reassured and started to inves-
tigate the phenomenon. "A hole $50 feet

EDITORS HAVE CAUSE FOR CON-
PLANT.

The facts In regard to the fate OF
the libel bill that was introduced into
the late Legislature are here given
for the information of those con-
cerned therein.
In accordance with a resolution
adopted at the last meeting of the
North Carolina Press Association,
the editor of the Record carefully pre-
pared a libel bill and had it intro
duced in the House early in the ses-
sion 1t was referred to the Iu-
dietary committee, and its author
with several other editors appeared
before that committe in its advocacy.
The bill seemed to be acceptable to a
majority of the committee and one
member (Mr. F. D. Winston) made
an able speech for it, but it was
referred to subcommittee for
further consideration. The sub
| conn ittee consisted of Mr.. Winston,
ex-Judge w. r. Allen and Mr.. Frank
Ray, and to this day they have never
made any report on the bill. Whether
they ever considered it is unknown.
The editors of North Carolina have
cause to complain of such treatment
of bill that so deeply concerned
/ them, and which at least deserved a
better fate than being smothered.-

SUPERINTENDENT MEBANE
Urges TENDERS of the County Boards
of Education to Abide by the Recent
Decision of the Legislature.

The following letter explains itself:
To the Members Of the County Board Of
Education:
GENTLEMEN:-I write this letter be-
cause the question has arisen in some
counties as to whether the Legisla-
ture had authority to abolish the
county boards of education as the
members were elected for three years.
shall not attempt to decide as to
the legality of this act of the Legis-
lature, but want to inform you that
it is my earnest desire that you waive
any legal right that you may feel that
you have in this matter for the sake
of the cause of public education.
The work of public education in
North Carolina is bigger than any
set OF politicians or any political
parties. So l beg you for the sake of
the great work to be done, not to
throw any obstacles in the way that
may, in any way, hinder the success
of the law as enacted by the recent
Legislature.
1t was reported to me that the prin-
| cipal qualification considered in the
appointment of the county board of
directors was that the men must be
Democrats. Be this as it may. Let
these men have an opportunity to
prove by their work that they are
for public schools as we'll as Demo
Gratis.
l advise you to meet with the
county board of directors on the
second Monday in April, make full
and complete report of your work
since July 1st, 1898, and turn over
all official records, books, etc., to the
county board of directors in order
that said board of directors may have
as little trouble as possible to make
out the annual report for the fiscal
school year ending June a0th, 1899.
There has been the most pleasant
official relations existing between you
and myself, with very few exceptions,
the memory of the exceptions will be
forgotten, and that of the general
rule will be cherished in the years tC
| come.
am yours truly,
