would have them in the fold. That is
what is coming, in my judgment.
They will need a lot of civlizing
before they will come up to the stan
dard of the western hemisphere. For
instance, their cemetery customs are
revolving Every family, a member OF
which dies and is buried in a local
cemetery, is required by law to pay
certain annual sum for maintenance.
Now, if the dues fall in arrears the
governors do not attempt to collect
from the living delinquent Nothing
of the sort. They go to the cemetery
and dig up the body and toss the bones
in a CHASTITY heap in yeritable bone
yard There they lie exposed and
bleaching under the hot sun as re-
proach 70 the living.
when the troops occupied Havana
they ran into several such horrible
things. At first they were supposed
to be bones heaped there as the result
of the wholesale executions of political
prisoners under the butcher Weyler.
When all was known the governor
general had nothing to do with these
bones. The bodies have been disin-

BITTER AGAINST GOMEZ.
PortuOndO Says He Is Ambitious to

Santiago, April H. The Cuban Gen.
Rafael Portuondo, who was chairman OF
the executive committee OF the former
military assembly and who has been ap-
pointed public prosecutor for the Supreme
Court of the province Of Santiago .Ie
Cuba is very bitter in his feeling for Gen.
Gomez.
In the course of an interview to-day
given to the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press he characterized Gomez as
always insubordinate and ambitious to
become a dictator"
Portuondo expresses himself confident
that the United States government win
fulhll its pledge to give Cuba a govern
ment OF her own. He says the reason
why the Cuban muster rolls were with
held so long from Cen Brooke was that
the assembly desired 10 have copisG mace
to be used by the special commission that
was endeavorng 90 obtain more money
for the troops
He does not anticipate any serious out
break OF brigandage, and he promises as

TWO YEARS TO SETTLE UP.
Cuban Mortgage Decree Has FINAL y
Been Promulgated.

Havana, April 1.-THE mortgage extern
sion decree has finally been issued. after
cabled information from Washington
clearing up several points In dispute.
The phraseology OF the original draft, al
ready cabled to the Associated Press, has
been slightly modified, but there has been
no change in the main fines Of the ar
rangement. Debtors viii complain of the
shortness of the period, averrlng that Il
win not enable them 10 get a good start
and to make combinations. Creditors, on
the other hand, are rather cheerful, as in
terest is to be paid on landed securities,
which are consequently improved.
Politicians regard the decree as a virtual
declaration of President McKinley's inten-
tion to occupy the island for two years at
lenst.
The decree, as originally submitted to
Washington, excluded debtors who were
bankrupt before Gen. WeySer's decree from
the benefits of the extension AS modified,
the decree embraces all debtors. AT least
Sl00 900 is involved.
Numerous private agreements regarding
debts will now go into effect, and large
amount of new sugar machinery will be
purchased.
All rumors that Gen. Gomez Intends to
oppose the disbandment OF the Cuban
troops are absolutely without foundation
They probably originated among his enc
mics His staff officers say they believe
the stories were started by members of the
former military assembly in order to in
jure him.
So far as the delay in the payment of
the troops is concerned, Gen. Gomez au-
thorizes the Associated Press to say that
he is doing everything In his power to has

WILL NOT REMOVE coGHLAN.
President Greatly Admires the CAL
liant Commanders.

Philadelphia, April 27-An authentic
statement was made this afternoon, after
his arrival in the city. that President Nc
Kinley has no intention of removing Capt
Coghlan from the command of the Unit
ed States steamer Raleigh.
The President. II is stated, reports 20
the contrary notwithstanding, has not
even considered any such action, and has
no thought of adopting any such drastic
measures on account OF the hereto com
mander's utterances at the New York BAN

It was also learned from the same au-
thentic source that the admiration held by
the President FOR Capt. coghlan's partlcl-
patton with Admiral Dewey in the de-
struction Of the Spanish feet at Manila
completely overshadows any desire-on his
part to administer a rebuke 20 the Raj
eigh's gallant commander for his fling at
Germany and the Kaiser.
Should Capt. Coghlah retire now, which
seems unlikely. It will not be because Of
the German incident. but In keeping with
usagcs Of the navy department. or In the
event OF the captain himself desiring shore

All the bodies will be out OF the Crook

Col. Kimball was fairly besieged In the

atives of the dead soldiers whose bodies

Nhen the FUNERAL ship brought her former
load of dead from Cuba and Porto Rico
the government forwarded TO the relatives
such Identified bodies as were claimed by
them for burial, no matter IN what distant
part of the country they lived, and 1t was
supposed that the same policy would be
continued. Col. Kimbal, however, was
obliged to inform those who claimed bodies
to-day that none would be delivered to
them, but that all bodies from Cuba, both
identified and unidentified, would be buried
In Arlington cemetery.
This is because the government fears
the spread of contagious disease. should
the bodies be given to the relatives. The
bodies are now in metal air-tlght coffius
but there can be no certainty that these
collins would not be opened by relatives

bodies buried in Arlington under this or

ever, IF relatives desire IT,
The bodies of those soldiers who died in
Porto Rico are not thought to be danger
Gus and do not come under this latest rul-
ing. The bodies of the marines are ex-
empted also, because they will be buried
In Brooklyn, being all the while in charge

LYNcHING OF ENoCH DANIEL.
The Negro HAD Been Threatening
whites in Lee County.

Albany, Ca, April 27.-Lee county has
been boiling with excitement to-day as q
result of the lynching of Enoch Daniel
last night, and hundreds of persons have
visited the spot where the body was found
and where the coroner's inquest was held
this morning.
Ever since the sensational triple lynch
ing in Leesburg last February, Daniel and
several other negroes have been indulgng
In a good deal OF ncendiary tank. They
have made some serious threats against
the whites and swore to avenge the work
OF the mob which lynched the assailant
of Mrs. Mooney.
Some especially bitter threats are said
TO have been made against several MEN,
bers of the Larramore family. Daniel was
several times warned to hold his tongue,
but he refused to be influenced.
Up TO last accounts the two missing me-
groes who are supposed to have met the
same fate as that of Daniel, had not been
found The lynching undoubtedly grew out
of the threats that had been made by DAN
lei and others against the white people Of
Lee county.

kAUTZ TOLD TO BE CAREFUL.
Letter Writing May Cost Justice
Chambers His ONCE.


Washington, April 27.-It has been felt
proper to admonish Admiral Kautz to be
more careful either in writing such letters
as that published yesterday from Cincin-
natl, or in guarding his letters from pub
licity, and a letter of that character was
addressed TO him yesterday.
Theoretically, a letter addressed under
the circumstances attending the Kautz let
ter may be regarded as strictly private or
practically the writer must accept the con-
sequences that would follow the publlca-
tion.

whose brother made public a letter crti-
