termination of the army not
to surrender arms is an out
come of Gen. Brooke's re-
fusal to sanction Gen. Go
mez's plan for a Cuban mill
tary. At the Cuban head
quarters the statement is in
digantly denied, in particular
by Gomez, who, however, re-
fuses to discuss the present
situation. One of Gomez's
most prominent officers
said: "Gen. Gomez was
brought to this city through
the influence of Mr.. Porter.
He was told at that time he
was wanted in Havana to help
Gen. Brooke establish a gov
eminent for the Cubans
which would have no other
basis than freedom and in
dependence. He was mis-
erably fooled.
"He has been ridiculed for
the manner in which he has
been treated by Brooke. He
has, on account of this in
timacy with the American
General, lost popularity with
Cubans, who say he has been
a traitor to their cause.
"This was part of Brooke's
scheme. He wished to rem
der Gomez useless, in order
that be might with further
ease follow out his orders
from Washington. Gomez
and his men are dislik-
ed and unpopular to-day.
He has no influence. 4 re-
commentator from him does
more harm than good. Gu
bans imagine he has been
working for annexation. He
will prove the contrary this
week, when he publishes let
tiers which have been ex-
changed between him, Gen.
Brooke and President Me-
Kinley.
CATER he has done this,
the General will probably
leave the island. He has
not a penny. He lives on
charity. In fact, we are all
doing the same. Gomez
was forced to dismiss his staff,
as he did not even have food
for them. They are all look
ing for work. One Colonel
has been made a policeman,
with a salary of $50 a month.
All Gomez's enemies have
splendid positions, while his
officers and men starve."

THE Covington Leader of
last week has this TO say in
regard to the reform" legis=
lature: Owe are inclined to
the opinion that the great
saving in the reduction of
salaries, etc, promised by the
recent Legislative session did
not materialize. At least
$4,000 a year for revenue
agents and travelling expen=
ses will leave the state in
debt after balancing the
account for two judicial
circuits abolished, with Judge
ship and district attorney.
The multiplicity oflaws, etc,
added to those already on the
statute books is not a good
fOrerunner of economy. We
hope the result will show the
good economical work pre-
dicted, but we are skepti-
cal at present about such be-
ing the result"

Rufus Sanders" Slayer.

Birmingham, Ala, May 16-
After being out since Z o'clock last
night the jury in the case of j. A.
Gafford, of Greenfield, Ala, at 2
o'clock this afternoon returned a
verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree, and fixed punishment
at lifetime in the penitentiary. In
August, 1897, Gafford, who is a
member of one Of the leading fam
lilies of Alabama, shot and killed
Barlow Lloyd, member ofthe legisla-
ture and well-known dialect writ
err, whose nom de plume was
"RufUs Sanders" They met on
the public highway and Gaford
charged Lloyd with seducing Mrs.
Kate Miller, Gafford's widow sister,
whereupon quarrel ensued, with
the result that Gafford shot Lloyd
dead. At the first trial Mrs. Miller
bitterly denied the alleged relations
with Lloyd and Gafford was convict
ed and sentenced to hang. The
Supreme Court reversed the case,
and at the second trial Mrs. Miller
confessed, saying that Lloyd secured
her clerkship in the legislature at
Montgomery. But she laid no
blame upon Lloyd. All parties con-
cerned are highly prominent, Lloyd
having been one of the best known
men in the State.

The few hundred dollars
appropriated by Quarterly
Court Monday to protect the
levees on the Bolivar and
jackson and Bolivar and
Statler Ferry roads, was mon

these levees cost the County
nearly $4,000, and it would
have been folly to allow them
to wash away when a small
sum properly used will save
them.
