Cubans Contend He Exceeded His Author
ity in Accepting MckiDley's Offer.
HAVANA. Feb. 6.-Among the Cuban
leaders who have given expression to
their views on the subject it is asserted
that General Gomez was not authorized
to agree to the DISARMAMENT of the army
without consulting the Cuban assembly
and obtaining its permission. Indeed
when the report arrived that General
Gomez had accepted Mr.. Porter's propo-
sitlon on behalf of the president, many
doubted it. refusing to believe that he
would act in this fashion. A prominent
Cuban said:
IF the news is true. the Cuban as
sembly will have grounds for proceed
ing against General Gomez. The idea
of So. 900. 900 as a gift from the United
States to the Cuban soldiers is repug.
nant and wounds the pride of Cubans."

All the generals interviewed We're in

in Cuban military circles is that the

duet, which to many is remarkable,
even incomprehensible.

TALK ABOUT PRALEN PARK
TO A NUMBER OF ARGU-
MENTS
Suggestion Made to the Board That
the Demands Could Be Paid From
the General Fund-FavOrabIe Re-
ports Upon City improvements.

j. c. Quinby and Joshua Robertson,
owners of the thirteen acres sought to be
taken for an enlargement to Como park,
were heard by the board Of public works.
Walter L. Chaplin, as attorney for the
two owners, argued that under the decis-
ion Of Judge Bum in the Phalen park
case the benefits could not be assessed
except in the immediate vicinity of the
park. He suggested that the board could
assess the benefits on Como park and pay
the damages from the general fund. Mr..
Robertson said his property, nine and
three-Quarter acres was worth $500 an
acre. Mr.. Quinby, declared his property
to be taken was worth $4,000. Another
fact which the board of public works
should consider was that the property it
was proposed to take had been tied up
since July, 1893. AT that time the park
board had ordered the land condemned
and 1t had been under consideration since
then. During the six years he had paid
taxes and interest and each year added
to the value of the property. There would
be no more benefits to the property by
reason of the extension than there was
now. Both owners wanted the board to
near expert witnesses as to the value of
the property proposed to be taken and
they were informed they would be given
the opportunity.
The board reported favorably on the
following improvements: Paving Robert
street between Seventh and Eighth with
brick. The engineers estimate is $14OO,
or 1885 per square foot, to the property
owners.
Paving Sherburne avenue between Rice
and Cedar with brick. The estimate of
the engineer is that it will cost $425 per
front foot to the property. The avenue
between Cedar street and the eastern
terminus is to be paved with asphalt at
cost of S. per front foot to the property
owners.
Paving Summit avenue between St. Pc
ter and Sixth streets with brick The es-
innate of the city engineer is that the
cost to the property owners will be So. "a
per front foot.

ARE STILL DOING DUTY
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT BOYS
CONTINUE IN THE FIELD AT
MANILA
TWO CABLEGRAMs RECEIVED
Unanimous Sentiment of the Regi-
ment That the Muster Out Take
Place at San FranciscO-TheS State
VIII See That the Sick Receive
Every Care and Are Brought
Home From San Francisco.

Gov. Lind yesterday received the fol-
lowing cablegram from Lieut.. Col Fried
richs in command Of the Thirteenth reg
iment, at Manila:
1.-TWO hundred and fifteen men are
sick, but not seriously. The regiment
is doing outpost duty railroad. Nothing
certain about time of return. Lafans
discharged through orders from Wash
1ngton June g. Gone home"
From the above it is quite evident that
there is some doubt as to the immediate
return of the regiment, as it has evidently
been reassigned to active duty in the
field. From the last advices by mail re-
ceived ty Adjt. Gen. Lambert and the
press cablegrams 1t was learned that the
regiments had been relieved Of duty as
a part Of the Eighth army corps. The
statement in the message printed above
that the regiment is doing outpost rail-
road duty makes it appear conclusively
that the conditions in the islands are
such as to again require the services of
the regiment, even though 1t only be I'M
til the arrival of the transports which
are to bring the boys home.
There can, however, be but little doubt
that the regiment will be returned before
a great while. The last official advices
which were received from the war de-
partment were that the transports would
arrive about July 20 and bring the troops
home. If the war department makes
good it's promise the boys will be on
their way home before very many days.
Gov. Lind, a little later in the day, re-
ceived a message from Col. Friedrichs
stating that the unanimous sentiment of
the regiment was in favor of muster out
at San Francisco. This is the first state
ment of opinion on the subject that Gov.
Lind has received direct from the reg1-
ment The cablegram was filed July 49,.
Gov. Lind stated yesterday that he
would see that all the sick men of the
regiment had proper accommodations
from San Francisco. While 1t was a
matter open to some argument as to
whether he was empowered to pay for
the return Of the regiment from the
coast out Of state funds, no one would
question the expediency Of giving the
sick members of the command all the
care possible.
State Auditor Dunn has stated that he
will audit the bills for the cost of bring
ing the boys from San Francisco If the
governor will draw the warrants. There
is, however, no probability that Gov.
Lind will do this. He will, on the other
hand, make preparations to bring home
the sick in special cars, and Secretary
Rosing or some other member of his
staff will doubtless be delegated to take
this in charge, if, indeed, the governor
does not decide to go to the coast him
self upon the return of the regiment to
American soil.

sNUBBED THE POLITICIANS.
The Mayor Decides Not to Wait for
Them at His Office.

Mayor Kiefer last evening administered
a decided snub to the Republican poll
ticians of the Second ward by refusing
to wait in his office to confer with them
in regard to the assessorship deadlock. A
large delegat ton of the friends Of Gregory
Ritz called by appointment at p. M,
but the mayor was not there to receive
them. Instead County Commissioners
Gray was on hand with the information
that his honor, late in the afternoon,
had remembered a previous engagement
that would prevent him from being pres
ent.
When the Second ward delegation called
on County Auditor Johnson recently to
urge him to unite with the mayor in the
election of Ritz to the assessorship, Mr..
Johnson, after listening to their argu-
ments, coyly advised that they interview
Col. Kiefer before coming to him. He
did not believe, he said, that the mayor
would ever consent to vote for Ritz any
how. This advice resulted in the meeting
being set for last evening and the mayor
had promised to be present.
