CUbA'S MILITARY ASSEMBLY
GENERAL GOMEZ is REMOVED.
In Public Session He Wac Unparalleled
Conciave Lasted Five Hours-He Was
Called "a Traitor to Cubs-rhe Action
lii-Advised-He Says He Enjoys it,

Havana, March I3.-The Cuban mill
tary assembly, in public session, has i'm
peached General Maxine Gomez and re-
moved him from ms command as general
IN chief OF the Cuban army, the first bal
lot taken resulting in 20 votes being cast
IN support OF the motion to impeach and
remove General Gomez against four in OPP
position. The meeting lasted nom Z
o'clock until 7.
General Gomez only supporters were
General Cespedes and General Nunez- The
original motion, which was introduced by
Senior Manuel Sanguilly, provided for the
abolition of the grade of general in chief,
but an amendment was offered TO this by
Senior AguerrO, which read: TO abolish
the grade of general in chief and remove
General Gomez for failure in his military
duties and disobedience to the assembly"
Senior Aguerro declared that Gomez was
insubordinate and should be punished, and
Senior Sanguilly insinuated that the gen
eral was a traitor to Cuba.
AssembIy's Action III-Advtsed.
General Gomez is believed TO be strong
er than the assembly in the affections of
the Cuban army.
Many privates are anxious to leave the
army and go to work, especially when
they are able to obtain money to start in
life anew.
The position of the assembly is notably
weak, as the military administration sup
ports Gomez, also the planters and prop
erty owning element, who are tired of
ths Cuban army, which subsists half upon
charity and half upon contributions levied
by means of threats.
Gomez Likes 1t.
General Gomez received at Molinas this
evening a telephone message announcing
to him the assemblys decision. He an
swered calmly: '-All right, 1 enjoy the sit
uation."
He then came to Havana to keep a din
ner engagement with his daughter at the
house of a friend.

Deal with Gomez Only.

New York, March l3.-News from
Havana of the Cuban assemblys action
will cause no change in the administra-
tion's policy. The American authorities
in Cuba will continue to recognize Gomez
and to deal with him.
1t is not believed the turmoil which has
been created temporarily will make any
change in the plans of the withdrawal of
the volunteers, though if the develop
ments seem to require it, the plans will
be modified.

The gold receipts OF the United States
branch mint at Denver for 1898 to No
vember 18th are $l9,37S,0O0. If the pur-
chasers for the remaining two weeks
equalled the first two weeks in Decem-

$2O,250,0OO, which will be an increase
over 1897 of nearly $S,OOO,0OO.
Richness OF SLOGAN.
The richness of the silvery SLOGAN is
shown by the revenue returns last year
from the l per cent of the mining tax.
OF the total OF the $36.06l for the pro-
vince, SLOGAN paid SlS,27l, on more than
one-half. Hitherto all the mines have
been in the hands of the Americans, but
four English companies are now at work
and two of them arc dividend-payers.
The average gross value OF the ore ship
ped from the SLOGAN has been $59,7l.
Gold of Canada.
The output OF gold from the Klondike
and British Columbia has raised Canada
to the fifth place in the list OF gold-pro-
ducing countries While the United
States shows greatly increased output
for '9S, it is second to the Transvaal, in
South Africa. The five leading gold-pro-
ducing countries for '9S, according to fig
ures recently published, are; Transvaal,
South Africa, $73,476,600; United States,
$64 100000; Australia, 81 ,4S0,76 Rus

Cost of Cyaniding.
The cost of cyaniding ore varies great
ly, the character of the ore, location of
the plant and numerous other things
having to be taken into consideration.
A number of mills in this country treat
ore for less than 81 per ton, the Mercur
mill in Utah being notable example.
In this mill from three-quarters to seven
Fights of pound of cyanide is used per
ton of ore treated, and the total cost of
treatment of SO cents per ton. AT the
DE Lamar about four pounds OF cyanide
to the ton is used.
The Unit Value of Lead.
The unit value of lead ore is based on
New York quotations at 81 per 100
pounds, says the Denver Mining Reporter.
Each per cent of lead contained in ore is
equal to as many units. Ore carrying
so per cent of lead Tor 80 units) is worth
for example, 90 cents per unit, or SO
times 90, equals $50 per ton, ii New York
quotation is 81 per hundred. For each
decline or rise of cents in the New York
price a deduction or addition OF cent
should be made. For instance, if the
New York quotation on the day of set
Element is So %, then l cent from the

The output of the Morning represents
but little more than six months work,
their mill having been burned and rebuilt
during the year. The Hecla shipped
nothing except what was taken out in de
ing development work, but is now start
ing a mill ior its own use, which will add
largely to its yield this year. The Black
Bear only shipped what came from one
drift for a couple or three months, but
will put in more than six months of actu-
al mining this year. The Gem will be
worked to its full capacity as soon as it
is in shape to work, and all these things
being taken into consideration, without
making any considerable allowance for
new mines, which are not likely to ship
in considerable quantities this year, as

Sues for a Divorce.

Mrs. Annie Maurer, of this county
has instituted suit for divorce from
Rudolph Maurer, alleging in her
complaint that they were married at
Columbus, Ohio, on March 20, 1890.
She says that in the last five years
her husband has frequently threat
ened, abused, struck and beat her,
and particularly as follows:
That about four years ago he
struck and beat her with his fist so
that she was compelled to leave her
home and stay away for ten days;
that in April, 1897, while they we're
living on their ranch, about IS miles
south of Great Falls, defendant
struck her twice, knocking her down
and while she was down struck her
over the heart, making her sick and
causing her to suffer for over a
month; that late in the fall of the
same year, defendant again struck
her and abused her; hat in August,
1893, plaintiff held a club over her
and struck her with his fists three OF
four times; that in October, 1898.
| defendant called her vile names; ac-
cused her of unchastity and beat
her, which acts he repeated in April.
1899, causing her great bodily stuff
ering and his acts being dangerous
to her life and health.
Plaintiff in consequence of these
acts, asks for a divorce, for a portion
of the common property and for the
defendant to be required to pay the
court a reasonable sum to defray the
expense of the action and for coun.
sci fees and that he pay such further
sum for alimony as the court may
think just for her support during the
tendency of this action.
VIM. G. Downing is attorney for
the plaintiff.

The Hawaiian Alphabet.

There are but 10 letters in the Ha-
waiian alphabet. These, with their pro-
nunoiations, are: A (ah), g (a), 0 60 as
In ho), u (oo), h (hay), k (kay), / (la),
m (moo). n (nool P (pay), and W way.
The missionaries added a thirteenth, {,
but the natives won't have it, and con-
tinue to pronounce, for instance, the
name of the root from which poi is
made "kara," although the mission
aries have it tiara Every vowel in a
word is distinctly sounded, except that
the vowels ''ai" are sounded 81" as in
English. Waikiki, the beach in Homo
lulu, is properly pronounced "Vi-
keekee." There is a great difference In
the speech of the high and low caste
natives. The first call their island
group "Ha-va -ee-ee, " and the latter be-
gin it all right with "Ha," but con-
slude with a cultural grunt, and the
word heard most, "Aloha, " sounds soft
and beautiful ON the lips of the first,
but is a lazy, good natured grunt as the
latter speak it.
Aloha is in their limited vocabulary
at once a greeting and farewell, a form
al expression Of regsfd and of deep
love. In the latter case it is increased
in warmth and depth Of meaning by
modifying adjectives annexed instead
of prefixed, as "Aloha nui, "Aloha
nui loa, or even "Aloha nui loa keal'
and then it is time to speak to papa.

The Dog and this Law.
plaintiff

Once it is established that the nature
of the species is gentle and that every
dog is a law abiding and peaceable Bruno
then it becomes necessary, before liabll-
ity for the vulgar transgressions OF a
fierce Towser can be fastened on the
owner, that he should have previous
knowledge of the usual and not to be
expected feature.
This is called s~cienter, and until an
owner has this knowledge of his dogs
~viciousness he is not responsible, though
In the error of its ways not acting as
becomes a gentleman of the dog species
or a lady, as the case may be. To be
more accurate and exact, nee a dog
has departed from the narrow path of
rectitude and demeaned itself in ways
other than should obtain with a strictly
proper and gentle animal, and the own
er knows it, then it loses status and
caste and must be put down as a vicious
animal, and the owner keeps it at his
peril. Lord Coleridge, it seems, was
anxious to reduce the law on the sub
ject to a nicely in the way of succinct-
ness and brevity, and he succeeded by
saying that every dog is entitled to
one bite, and the case has special refer
ence to spring lamb or veal. The ex-
preston is varied by making it "every

How She Won Over the Judge.

A woman resident of Detroit relates

that her husband was called to Kansas
on business and a real estate dealer, out
Of spite, had him arrested. The prisoner
was taken before a local justice of the
peace. The incensed bride insisted upon
attending the trial, and while it was in
progress she SO far forgot herself as to
deliberately level her opera glasses upon
the justice, who dashed under the table
and shouted:
"Deperty, disarm that woman!'
The officer secured the glasses and
cautiously laid them before the magis.

81, 600 for contempt Of court. With
gracious dignity she asked the right to
defend herself, and, going up to the
bench, she explained that the glasses
were not harmful, and had the justice
look through them, and after a few
pretty words Of apology she presented
them to him. He hit the table a mighty
blow to court, and fined the
