raised. General Brooke expressed
confidence that even if Gomez with
draws, the American authorities will be
perfectly capable of making the dis
tribution unasslsted by any Of the
Cuban leaders. While the contents of
Brooke's message are withheld, there
is reason to believe he does not take
as serious a view of the situation as
some officials here.
Military authorities profess not to be
worried, but number of officers who
have been to Havana recently and
have had opportunity to study the SEN
timert there, are not satisfied that the
present diffiulties will adjusted with
out trouble. They say there is an
element among the officers who are
suspicious of the intentions of the
United States and desire to hold forces
together under arms as long as pos
sible. At the bottom of the trouble is
dissatisfaction with the intention of the
United States not to pay large sums to
high Cuban officers, who expected to
be paid according to their own esti-
mates of their services in the war with
Spain.
If Gomez should decline to act for
the Cubans, General Brooke will meet
the issue, knowing he has the support
Of the administration in Washington.
1t is known that Cuban soldiers are
willing to lay down their arms on the
payment of $75 or $roo each, and it is
believed that in the event Of Gomez's
withdrawal Brooke will deal with
them directly, receiving their arms in
return at the places designated.

y China Braces Herself.

Victoria. B. c., May I7.-According
to news received by the Empress of
India, China will resist further aggres-
sion by the powers. That China in
tends to oppose the advance of Ger
many in the North is shown by the
fact that recently orders were sent to
the Mandarins and Taotos of all dis
tricts and provinces ordering them to
concentrate what fighting men they
could and prepare for war. The
arsenals have sbeen ordered to push
forward the manufacture Of arms and
ammunition with all haste. A late
edict places Viveroy Liu in charge of
the people. The Chinese navy also,
according to late reports is getting
ready for an emergency.
Trouble has occurred recently in
Shan Tung and German missionaries
have been ill-treated. Germany is
sending expeditions to punish the
natives, burning villages and gradually
pushing her way inward until very
shortly she will have possession of the
whole province.
The Kobe Herald saysthat the Ger
man plan is to establish 6 rman
kingdom with Prince Henry ruler, as
previously stated in Pekin dispatches.

ship, this county, cut the throat of her
sixteen months old baby boy with a
razor and killrd him instantly. The
mother then cut her own throat with
the razor, but not fatally.
She had been insane for month,
but had improved and was not violent.
Her husband is a poor but respected
man. She will be arrested as soon as
she can be moved, and it is hoped that
she can be admitted to the hospital at
Morganton

No More Old Age.

Chicago, May I6.-The Tribune says
a discovery which, it is claimed solves
the problem of circumventlng old age,
has just been made public by Profess.
ors J. s. Hawley and Alex G. Weiner,
of the Chicago clinical school. The
return to youth, it is asserted, is pro-
duced by hypodermic injections of the
Emphatic fluid Of animals, parti-
cularly young goats. The discovery
was made year ago, and subsequent
demonstrations Of its efficacy are
proved.
The general theory Of the discovery
is that if the mineral deposits hich
accumulate in the bones in the pro-
cess of life can be replaced with the
life cells contained in the lymphatic
glands of goats deterioration of the
bones will be prevented and elasticity
and youth will be retained in the
system much longer. A number of
animals and human beings, it is said,
have been experimental on in Chicago
with good effects.
The apostles of the discovery do not
claim that a man or woman thus
charged with goats "life cells" will
be prolonged, perhaps double.

rlajor Taggart's Observations

Washington, May 16.-Major Tag
CERT of the Sixth Infantry, just re-
turned from Cuba, where he was com.
missary officer under Major General
Wilson, was at the War Department
today and talked of the situation in
Cuba. He said that Fl ON his observa
ton Of generals in command Of depart.
ments Of the islands, they are fully
competent to handle the problems that
constantly arise. The important ques-
ton there is to provide the people
with something to do and to break up
the influence over them of the so-called
Cuban generals, who with the disband-
ing of the Cuban army, have no oc-
cupation.
In the department of Matanza Gen
eral Wilson was several times con-
fronted with this trouble, but he was
determined that one military organlza-
ton should rule in his territory, and he
so notified the Cuban generals. He
then told the Cubans to lay down
their arms. The generals protested
that it was not yet time to do so, but
General Wilson was firm and the or
ganization disbanded.
Practically the same condition con,
fronts General Brooke in Havana, but
Major Taggeart believes that General
Brooke will soon convince the Cubans
that it is to their interest to abide
peaceably by the American orders.

Gen. Gomez has Enough.

Havana, May 15.-General Maxine
Gomez today informed Governor
General Brooke that he could no
longer act as representative of the
Cuban army in the distribution OF
the 100000 appropriated for the
for the paymet of the Cuban troops.
General Gomez added that he had
arrived at this decision with great
reluctance, and with the most friend
ly feelings toward Gen. Brooke per-
sonally and officially, but he felt he
could no longer represent the Cuban
army because cabal composed of
the subordinate commanders existed
to oppose, and if possible, defeat the
plans for partitioning the money. He
explained that former members Of
the Cuban Military Assembly, led by
Mayia Rodriguez, Manuel Sanguilly,
Juan Gualberto and other malcon-
ents, had organized a majority of the
officers against him apparently.
Though he Gomez might persist aud
possibly carry the payment to sue
cessful conclusion he was disgusted
and wished to wash his hands of the
whole business. Therefore, he thought
best to leave General Brooke free, as
the latter could act with equal
effectiveness.
General Brooke expressed sympa-
thy with General Gomez, and said he
regretted the position he had taken.
1t was then mutually agreed that
General Gomez will issue manifesto
to the cuban army tomorrow. After
it has been issued General Brooke
may make declaration concerning
the manner in which he will proceed.
He is determined not to he tritled
with. He has the rolls of the privates
and non.commissioned officers who
are willing to accept SIS each, and
this amount will be offered or the
alternative OF forcible disarmament.

Havana, May I7.-Cuban emotion
has taken a swift turn toward modera-
ton. All the political groups and the
fifteen daily newspapers OF Havana
realized today that cessation of wild
talk was desirable Even the acrobatic
members of the late military assembly
went about soothing their excited fol-
lowers.
The meetings of the national league
tonight, though largely attended, were
orderly, all the speakers advising calm
reflection before any movement is be-
gun lest violent incidents might be
precipitated by rashness.

Sentenced to be Hanged.

Baltimore, May I6.-John Berry, the

servant, near Browie, Prince George
county, on March 10th, was today con-
victed of murder in the first degree by
