COMETS
Causes a Lively Controversy at



Havana, April 3O.-The attitude OF
Gen. Gomez toward the intervening
power" as he calls the United States,
causes a lively controversy among pol
iticlans here, and even among his
friends. La Discussion and El Recon-
centrado treat him as an ally OF the
United States and refer to him as n
traitor and the curse Of Cuban indie
p~endence." La Lucia and La Patfi;s
view him as a consistent leader of the
Cuban people. From time to time
copies Of his private correspondence,
embodying illusions to public bust
ness are supplied to the press and af-
ford material for speculation and ar
gument regarding his real position ana
intentions. For instance, one of the
papers publishes extracts from a let
ter Gomez recently wrote to Roldolfo
Mendez OF Merida, Yucatan, in the
course OF which he said:
MY energy, my strength and all my
prestige l am giving here in my de-
votion to the cause Of independence
for this heroic country. and / devote
myself especially to the labor In CON
cert with the provisional government
which attends and serves the coun-
try
A member of his household has CIV
en- the following explanation Of the
position of Gomez:
"Of course, Gen. Gomez continues to
favor, as he always has favored, ulti-
mate independence, but he considers a
period of American control as q logi-
cal preparation for that independence.
Therefore, he wishes to cooperate
with the Americans without reserya-
ton In disbanding the troops and in
quoting and reconstructing the coun-
try. He cannot tell how long this
period shall be, but be would shortly
have issued a statement declaring his
formal support Of the American pro-
visional control If the recent severe
attacks upon his views had not been
made"
The report that Gen. Gomez is draw
ing up a proposal for the organization
Of Cuban militia is not verified by
him.

Auckland, n. H.. April 29.-Particu-
lars of the lighting in Samoa, con
tanned in the advices received here
from Apia, under date of April Is,
show that the battle between the

Further details of the deaths of En-
sign j. II. Monaghan and Lieut.. T.. ".
Lansdale, Of the United States cruiser

They show that Monaghan was be-
headed before he was dead. A de-
serter from the Mataafan forces says
Monaghan and Lansdale were retreat

alarm and Monaghan was shot while
continuing TO retreat. Later, il APP
pears, the rebels returned and killed

mains and confirm the statements

LAwToN's EXPEDITION.
War Department Relieves That Ii
VIII he Successful.

Washington, April 29.-The war de-
partment did not receive any informa-
ton from Gen. Otis respecting devel-
opments in the campaign about Cal
umpit. Ii is said now that while it
was part of the plan for Lawton,
moving westward from Norzogaray,
to take the rebels in the rear It Cal
Umpit and crush them between his
own door and that Of Macarthur, such
was not the only purpose of his expe-
dition. The principal object was to
clear the country back to the foothills
of the numerous small bodies of in
surgents who have been harrassing
the country and making life miserable
for the American troops at unexpected
times and places. 1t is believed that
Gen. Lawton has fully succeeded in
this, and that when he has effected a
juncture with Macarthur north of
Calumpit it will possible to estab-
lish a comparatively short line of
works across country and prevent the
return of the insurgents from the
north.

Wardner, Idaho, May 2.-Wardner,
during the past twenty-four hours. has
been the scene of the worst riots since
the deadly labor war of 1892. One
man Is dead. another is thought to be
MORALLY wounded and property valued
at 100000 has been destroyed by
giant powder and fire. The damage
was done by union miners and sympa-
thizers of Canyon Creek. about twenty
miles from here. Saturday morning a
mob of from 500 to 1000 men, all of
them armed and many of them
masked, seized a train ut Burke, the
head Of Canyon creek. The visitors
brought with them 800 pounds of giant
powder. After a party Of two hours
40 masked men from Burke and
Wardner. armed with Winchester
rifles. started with yells for the Bunk
er Hill and Sullivan mills and other
buildings n third of a mile away.
They sent pickets ahead and one of
them fired a shot as a signal that the
mill was abandoned. This was mis-
understood by the main body of the
mob, who imagined that non-union
miners in the hills had opened fire on
them and they began TO fire upon their
W pickets. About 1000 shots We're
thus exchanged between the rioters
and their pickets. and Jack Smith, n
of the pickets. formerly of British
Columbia. and a noted figure in drill
contests, was shot dead.

having directed the employees not 70
risk their lives by battling with the
mob. Powder was called for and sixty
fifty-pound boxes Were carried from
the depot to the mill. The heaviest
charge was placed under h brick Of
fee building. Other charges We're
placed around the mill. Then the
boarding house, a frame structure, was
burned. Fuses leading to h charges
were lighted and the strikers, carrying
the dead body of the picket, retired to
n safe distance. At 2:36 p. m. he first
blast went off. 1t shock the ground
for miles, and buildings in Wardner,
two miles away trembled. AT inter
walls of about sixty seconds -four 9th
err charges went off. the fifth being the
largest. and completely demolished the
mill. The loss to the Bunker dill and
Sullivan company is estimated from
$4,000 to 100000. In a few minutes
the strikers went back to the station,
the whistle was blown for stragglers,
