Announcement of Gen. Gomez Well
Received in Havana.
STILL TRUSTED LEADER OF CUBANS
Prospect Now of Consistent Plan
of Government.
AFFAIRS IN FAIR SHAPE

Special Cable From Staff Correspondent.
HAVANA. February "a deep effect has
been produced here by the news that Gen.
Gomez will cooperate with Washington in
securing the disbandment of the insurgent
troops. II is a fresh demonstration given of
his influence. He is still the leader whom
Cubans will follow in mass. and he has the
confidence of the Spanish classes The
presence of Gomez in Havana will be po-
tential in settling delicate questions. De-
spite the misrepresentati ton of his attitude
toward Americans, he has been friendly
He will show renewed proofs of his friend
ship. The efforts made to ignore him and
undermine his influence have all failed.
The assumption is that hereafter Ameri-
can military authorities in Cuba will have
a consistent policy The trouble has been
that separate commanders thought they
were each to have a petty kingdom. ami
that the condition which exists was Great
ed for their benefit. They have shown tact
in dealing with Cubans individually and
have managed administrative affairs ex-
ceIlenJy. but have been making little prog
ress in settling vital questions. This is
shown especially in the case of the rural
police. The insurgent troops have been act
ing under the command of their own off
GERS They have received no pay and no ap-
parent steps have been taken to incorpo-
rate them under Amrican authority.
This situation could not continue much
longer in Santa Clara where they have been
on the verge of starvation without relief
Senator Proctor found similar conditions in
Pinar del Rio. where Gen. Davis gave the
insurgents great credit for maintaining or
der. The first need is to relieve this condi-
ton. then the disbandment of the insurgents
who are now organized into rural police will
follow

missioner, returns today, filled with praises

Cuban affairs need no longer cause con-

CENSUS SUPERVISORS.
Objection to the Non-Partisan Plan By

The bureau having adopted the p,ln of dividing tha appointments between the parties, some of the re- publican politicians claim tll2t they should get all the appointments. Sen atCr DeioOe of Ksrltucky is in Washing ton protesting against an aQp0rtion- ment being made to the democrats.

Since congress adjourned he has been both south and east, as well as on the Pacific coast. He says that the governor of Cali fornia $ going to appoint Burns to the vacancy in the senate left by the failure Of the legislature to elect, and that the appointment will be made with the understanding that he is to be seated He says that the state ment comes from the best sources for such information that there is an un- darstardiGg that both Quay and Burns are to be ssej.ed. He says that if the plan is carried out, public sentiment will, in his judgnent, change the complexion of the next Californfa leg islature, and that after the meeting of the new legislature Burns will be sue ceedod by a democrat.
 The democrats Of California, ho says, are satisfied with Bryan and eG- pect his renomination, with the re- affirmation Of the Chicago platform.

 The doctor is also of the opinion that
 frontage on the main street is an
 other advantage, although his phar-

There are sepa- rate rooms for the truss and electric belt, rubber goods and optical ap pliance departments. While Dr. Reef CT has been several weeks getting the new store ready for occupancy and has been delayed by various causes in moving, the time has been well spent, as a visit to his pharmacy will prove. He will net have everything fully set tied fer several days yet, but is pre- pared better than ever to satisfac- tcrily handle his large patronage. Dr. George H. Keefer is known tc the trade as enc Of the very successful drug g:s'ts in the west. His customers all attest to his business capacity and re- liability Perhaps that may account for his success

IT'S M'KINLEY'S WORK
E. A. Keller Says the East is Enough
 10 Discourage ReformerS.

E. 4. Keller returned Saturday night
 from a three weeks visit with his par
 ents at New Castle, Pa, whom he had
 not seen for eighteen years. During
 his stay he met only one man beside
 his relatives whom he could recog-
 niZe, and not man of all his earlier
 acquaintances who recognized him.
 He spent a short time at Wheeling
 and other West Virginia places.
 MT. Keller returned with changed
 economic ideas. He has for some
 years been one of the most ardent re-
 formers in this part of the country.
 A populist with natural democratic
 tendencies, he has clamored for free
 silver. Bryanism and whatever else
 was calculated to change the ex- ting order. He says that conditions
 in the parts of the country he visited
 are enough to discourage reformers.
 In the general rush and excitement they are liable to be trCdden under foot The workingmen are so busy
 they have no time to sit around and reason cut things. MT Keller said he tried to talk free silver and his audit orS said they thought he had horns on him. They asked him what any bcdy wanted free silver for More money" replied MT. Keller. Then the financial situation in New Castle was explained to him. One could get large loan, say of from 1000 to S25,- 900, on long time on first rate security at per cent per annum. IA working man who wanted to build a home hav- ing acquired a vacant lot, could borrow money on it for building any kind Of a house he chose at per cent. All the banks were filled with money and only one in that whole manufacturing region pretended to allow interest on any kind of deposit. That rate was so low that it was not especially cal culated to dazzle depositors.
 New Castle is a town of 45,000 peo- pie. It has six blast furnaces, sheet mills, nut and bolt works and other factories without number. All are in full blast. The skies are lighted by flame at night and there is an eternal crash and roar intensified in the day time by the traffic and turmoil of the {, streets. There was enc industrial in Sritution at New Castle in which Mir. | Keller was especially interested. It |! was a tin mill. T had never heard of | it. he said; 'I didn't know there | were any tin mills in the country. 1 i knew there used to be some, but 1 | from the papers that they l were started just for political dodges, ! but wouldn't work and had been shut | down. That New Castle tin mill has a | weekly pay roll of $45, ,000 They've l just had a seven and a half cent raise | and have promised to double the 1 raise. If that's a republican political | dodge it's a mighty expensive one and they don't seem to be advertising it, fer I never heard of it. I expect Ih-re are more tin mills hid around some where else in the United States

THE SUPERVISORS
\ Bare Appointment Of Bee In-
 SpeCfOr.

The board of supervisors was in reg ular session yesterday. The subject of the appointment of a bee inspector, provided in act 26 of the late legisla- tUre, was taken up and George Rorig appointed conditicna;Iy. The act does not provide a salary for the inspector nor dCes it provide for the payment of any expenses he may incur. If the legislature thought of this at all it probably expected the counties to at tend to this important detail This county will not pay either salary or expenses and if MT. Rorig wants to accept the bare appointment it is lying on the clerks desk waiting for him.
 The petition Of a right of way for a railroad to Ingleside along county roads was also considered. Though n0 order was made at the session there is little doubt that the right will be given.
 The board allowed S10 a month for the care Of an infant at the CrittentOn hcme, where it's mother died lately.

WHY CANALL,s HAIR IS GRAY.
the Devil Had Q Hold on the
 Ground Wire.

T have been mixed up in all kinds of jollies in telegraphy and tele- phones" said Charles Canall, to the Sun reporter, but never got the hot end until yesterday. I connected the harbed wire that is used as Q fence On the railroad and connected in a pair cf telephones. There is about ten miles Of fence wire and we had a lot or trouble in locating a leak on the wire. 1 finally had to take a testing set out to find the trouble.
 After finding the break l cut in the instrument The farmer on the other end had never seen a telephone before Try as 1 would, could not make him saVey I told him to hang up the re- ceiver and to go away from the tele- phone. In disgust I set the telephone down rather violently and walked about six feet from the phone, and was wondering what kind of a jay was cn the other end, when 1 hsard a voice behind me say:
 When do you expect to come down?
 There was no enc nearer than five miles I began to think the devil him. self had got a hold of the ground wire
