GOMEZ NOT YET
FULLY SATISFIED
NOT TO BROOK INTERVENTION
Declares In a Letter to Cubans That
Forced Guidance IL Hateful.
Ready to Fight Again.

Declares In n Letter to Cubans That
Forced Guidance IL Hateful.
Ready to Fight Again.
Havana, Feb. 6.-Those who have been
led to believe that Gen. Maximo Gomez
was persuaded by the Presidents Commits
sioner, Robert p. Porter, to look more
kindly upon the continued American oecu-
patton of Cuba may disabuse their minds.
The grim old chieftain still clings fondly
to Cuba Libre. He has abated no jot OF
his antagonism to foreign Intervention of
any sort, even though he accepts $4,000, 900
for his warriors
In letters published yesterday, with his
authority, Gomez gives praise to his SOL
diers for their heroism and fortitude. Con-
tinuing, he says:
1T is wonderful that any are left alive
after such a horrible struggle and pains.
We warn you that we may not yet have
finished the strange destiny that presents
this last trial and humiliation. We are
strangers in our own country, still wet
with our blood.
Forced guidance is hateful to us. 1t ap-
pears that the Americans are reimbursing
themselves for their spontaneous interyen-
: ton IN our war Tor independence. IneN
delay in that Intervention is still a shame
upon them. The Americans, instead of aid
ing, are obstructing the establishment OF a
free and independent republic.
This is our house. We are to live in
it. We should furnish it to our own lik-
ing. | say to you there cannot be peace
in Cuba while there lasts that transitory
government, imposed by force, and which
is hateful in the eyes of our people.
Il had hoped to bid farewell to Spain s
heroic soldiers, inviting them to return
and join us as brothers in upbuilding Gu
ba but the Americans embittered the joy
of conquerors by the guidance they impose
upon us. Embittering u.s. they have also
added grief to the conquered
In order to put an end to this abnormal
and unjust situation every one of US must
render his aid. rendering anew all his en-
ergies to his country. /. first of all, offer
myself without restriction for the accom-
plishment of the great undertaking of the
reyolution-the erection of a republic in
Cuba
With this final breath of defiance the old
leader closes abruptly, signing himself
simply Maxine Gomez" This letter the
genuineness of which is unquestioned, has
filed the Cubans with enthusiasm, and ad-
dcd, If anything could, to the old generals
popularity q
1t is reported on apparently good au-
thority that one division of the Seventh
Army Corps is to go home on March /.

Women Should Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony
and misery becaase the nature Of their
disease is not correctly understood.
They have been ed to believe that
womb trouble ,.r female weakness of
some sort is responsible for tue many
ills that beset Womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty
supply of urine with strong odor,
frequent desire 10 pass it with scald-
ing or burning sensation, sediment in
it after standing in bottle or common
glass for twenty-foar ours, are signs
of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence. 50 many fail
to obtain relief, because they are treat
ing, not the disease itself, but q re-
fection of the primary cause, which
is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and
bladder trouble and both need the
same remedy.
DR. ki'mnr's Scamp Root is the
great discover: ofthe eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to

COLONIZING IMPOSSIBLE.

A few days ago we referred 10 the
speech of Carl Schurz delive. d at
the Chicago University. 1t is such an
able presentation of the argument
agsinst this new American idea Of
extending the United States and
"their colonies" over the ends of the
earth that we shall continue lhe line
of his argument for the benefit of those
who may not have the time to study
the question.
Mr. Schurz makes, Of course, the
obvious point that these islands, the
PHILIPPINES, are not contiguous to our
present domain, but beyond seas, and
in tropical climste, "wnere people
of The Northern race, such as Anglo
Saxons. or generally speaking, of
Germsnic blood, in mass to stay"
Therefore, it can hardly be hoped that
Americans will migrate there and by
their iafluence "determine the charac
ter of those populations so as to as
simulate them to our own" "Thls, =
says Mr.. Schurz, "is a delusion Of The
first magnitude" and most people
will agree with him. ''The working
masses. those laboring in agriculture
and the industries" these are The
oues, .:r. Schulz thiuk<, that every
where form the bulk ofthe population; !;
