He WANTS MANY MILLIONS
GOMEZ'S MODEST DEMAND FROM
THE UNITED STATES.
Asks for Fifty-seven Million Dollars
to be Divided Between Himself and
His Barefoot Army.

General Gomez is the great obstacle
in the way of the pacification of Cuba,
says William Il. Curtis, in the Chica-
go Record. He demands money, and
great deal of it. General Garcia and
delegation of Cuban patriots came to
Washington with credentials from
delegate assembly to negotiate for the
payment of the insurgent troops. 1t
was his proposition to give the rank
and file 500 each and the officers larg
er sums, from $500 to $4,000 each, ac-
cording to their rank, in order to en-
able them to take fresh start in life.
He estimated that S3000,000 would be
sufficient, and considering 1t cheaper
to pay them than to fight them, the
president asked for an appropriation
of that amount, which was made in the
emergency bill passed before the holi-
day recess. 1t was not stated in the
bill that this money would go to the
Cuban soldiers, but it was so under
stood by members of both houses.
The lamentable death of Gen. Garcia
has upset all the calculations of other
! men who are not so reasonable or so
| patriotic. He demands as the price of
| peace in Cuba and the dissolution of
| the insurgent armies that the govern
| ment of the United States shall fur
| niSh the funds or guarantee loan OF
! the Cuban government for an amount
! sufficient to pay every officer and sol
| der in the Cuban army a salary cor
responding to the pay of the soldiers
and officers of the regular army of the
| United States. For example, as lieu
| tenant general, he is to receive $4,000,
| which represents three years service
| at 81 900 a year, and he has a big list
| of generals whose compensation is
calculated on a basis of $500 year
| He claims for every colonel $4,000, fol-
majors $500, for captains $1,000, for
lieutenants $1,400 and $1,000, and fol-
enlisted men all the way from $l3 tC
S36 per month. The total, as he figures
it out on this basis, comes to $4,000,
900, and he is willing to surrender al
his claims upon the government of Gu
ba for that amount, which he thinks II
very reasonable compared with the
800, 000 900 which the United States ha'
promised to pay for the Philippine Is
lands. He is not particular how thu
money is raised, but he desires to dis
burse it, or at least supervise the dis
bursement of it through his own sub
Ordinates.
Gomez was always mercenary HI
would not accept the leadership of tn
insurgent forces in 1895 until he wa
paid $40 900. At the end of the frs
year, in April, 1896, he retired into tn
mountains under the plea of i'll health
and refused to take the field unit
more money was raised for him, blu
after that his aVarice was satisfied b,
the opportunity offered him of black
mailing planters and other propert,
owners in the provinces where he wa
raiding 1t is not believed that h
will be satisfied with anything les
than the opportunity to rule as dicta
tor in Cuba if the United States vii
not pay his price.

department of misinformation seems
to be in better working order than its
war department. The Japan Gazette
of February 10th publishes the follow
ing:
The war has ended in the defeat of
the insurgents, but the citizens are all
terror stricken. Girls and woman are
fleeing into the interior of the island,
and all the shops in the city are closed.
There are three Japanese steamers in
the harbor, but they are lying idly at
anchor, owing to the impossibility OF
clearing the port. The Mitsui Bussan
Kaisha steamer Hikosan-macu, which
is also in the harbor, has finished dis
charging her cargo, but she will not be
in a position to leave before the 18th.
The N. Y. X. steamer Yawata-maru is
still unloading, and therefore her date
of departure is unknown.

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, November 2.
Operators have about leased Harrison
county for oil now, and are paying
NAKED attention to Barbour, Taylor
and Lewis, adjoining counties. The
recent strike at Marshville, J. w. Mon
roe No. l, which was shot and pro-
duces now so barrels, proves conclusive
ly that this section of the State is dot
ted or underlaid with pools of oil.
Again, take it all the way through
from Wolf Summit, Huntsville, on 10
the Camden we'll in Lewis. and there
has been some showing of oil. Between
Philippi and Belington, on the Tygarts
Valley river, oil was found few years
ago, and it is reported that now Sena-
tor El&ins contemplates immediate de-
velopment of a large territory in that
locality The finding of oil at Philippi
will indicate that the pools awaiting de-
velopment cover a large area, or at
least cover a considerable portion Of
the above named counties.

AS TO AMERICAS SYMPATHY.

John Bull ostentatiously expresses
his gratitude for the sympathy of the
American government in the South
African war, and sends the word
across the water that the war to sub
jugate the Beers, destroy their free gov
eminent, and incidentally gobble their
gold and diamond mines, will be push
ed unremittingly to the end.
In all of this Uncle Sam is very
much interested. OF course, the admin
istration at Washington must sympa-
.hize with Great Britain In order TO be
consistent with its own policy in the
Philippines. But what the American
people would like to know, and what
they can't for the life of them under
stand, is why this Republic should
sympathize with Great Britain rather
than with the Republic of South AZ
RIGA? Why should we not sympathize
tain their own government against
British aggression?
1t is easy to understand the fellow
feeling President Mckinley, who is,
himself, I'D to his official eyes in the
same sort of work, has for Great Brit
ain, but let no one for moment sup
pose that in this particular he repre-
sents any considerable number of the
American people even in his own polt-
ical party We on this side of the wa

up reminds one of the giants who did
battle for the amusement Of the an
clients, will contest for the heavy
weight championship of the world in
a suburb of the nations metropolis in

calls to mind the arenas OF Rome.
These gladiators are James ]. Jeffries

strength and lack of fistic science.

Neither possesses sufficient knowledge
of the art of boxing to make the con-
test interesting from a scientific point
of view. Neither possesses anything

strength and endurance and these quail
tiles will determine the result
Hence the general lack of that keen
interest that usually attends contests
for the worlds heavy weight fistic hon
ors. Between two uninteresting brutes
there is little choice, and that is the
way the general public seems to look
at it. Such exhibitions, it must be ad-
mitted, are not elevating, and even low
ers of the manly art" as a sport would
not murmur if the authorities should
wake up and suppress to-night's con-
test, which is too much on par with
bull fighting and appeals only to the
brutal instincts.
It's a pity both these low-browed
sluggers can't be badly beaten and SIM
ultaneously retired from public view.
