General Gomez only supporters were
General Cespedes and General Nunez, The

abolition of the grade OF general in chief,
but an amendment was offered to this by
Senior Aguerro, which read: "To abolish
the grade of general in chief and remove
General Gomez for failure in his military
duties and disobedience to the assembly"
Senior Aguerro declared that Gomez was
insubordinate and should be punished, and
Senior Sanguilly insinuated that the gen

The position of the assembly is notably
weak, as the military administration sup

the Cuban army, which subsists half upon
charity and half upon contributions levied
by means of threats.

The Unit value of Lead.

The unit value of lead ore is based on
New York quotations at 81 per 100
pounds, says the Denver Mining Reporter.
Each per cent of lead contained in ore is
equal to as many units. Ore carrying
so per cent of lead Tor so units) is worth
for example 90 cents per unit, or SO
times go, equals $50 Der ton, if New York
quotation is 81 per hundred. For each
decline or rise of cents in the New York
price deduction or addition of | cent
should be made. For instance, if the
New York quotation on the day of set
Element is So %, then l cent from the
price go cents should be taken, max
ing fifty nine cents as the settlement
price, and so on, as the New York price
is above or below 81. This method has
been generally adopted throughout Col
oradO for the settlement OF the price of
lead in ores, or so says the State Ore
Sampling Company.

The Kentucky Mud die.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 21.-The
Democratic state campaign committee
comedies that Taylor has a majority on
the face of the returns, but bases a hope
of the election of the Democratic ticket
on throwing out the vote of Louisville on
account of the interference of Governor
Bradley's soldiers and Johnson and Knox
counties, where tissue ballots were used
The Kentucky election law plainly pro-
vides for a secret ballot, and the Repub-
licans admit that they are not as well
fortified in the defense of their interests
in Johnson and Knox county cases as
might be, but do not credit to any extent
the Democratic claim regarding Louis
vile. Goebel managers announce they
will not take an appeal from the decision
of Judge Jones at Glasgow, where 1,193
majority of Nelson county votes, errone-
ously certified for w. r. Taylor, were or
dered counted for w. S. Taylor. In this
state of the case the vote of Jefferson,
Knox and Johnson must be wiped out to
give Goebel majority.

THE DEWEY HOME.
The Admiraps wife Transfers the
House to George, Jr.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Georgc
Goodwin Dewey, Admiral Dewey's only
son, is now the owner of the residence
presented TO the admiral by the American
people.
Papers were prepared and signed early
yesterday by which Mrs. Mildred Nc
Lean Dewey transfers all rights and IT,
ties to the property known as 1I47
Rhode Island avenue. this city. to George
Goodwin Dewey This is the property
which yesterday Admiral Dewey trans
ferred to Mrs. Dewey. The papers max
ing the new transfer probably will be
placed on file today.
In explanation of the transa ction prac-
tically completed today relative of the
Dewey family made this statement:
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have trans
ferred to the formers son, George Good
win Dewey, the title to the home pre-
sented to the admiral by the people of
this country. 1t will continue to be the
nome of the admiral and Mrs. Dewey so
long as he may live. 1t may be desira
bic now to say that it was the wish Of
both the admiral and Mrs. Dewey to
provide for a proper succession to the
property The last transfer completes
the transaction begun Monday and is the
carrying out only of the original inten-
tion of both the admiral and Mrs. Dew
ey. BY all those interested in the mat.
ter the method of transfer adopted was
considered the best and safest that could
have been adopted, 1t is to be cons!d-
cred. naturally, that the transfer was to
be the act of Mrs. Dewey as well as of
the admiral. 1t was her desire that she
should release any claim she might have
to the property through her marriage to
the admiral, and to do this the transfer
was made through her to the admiral's
son as soon as was practicable. Through
the method adopted no dispute ever can
arise over the disposition of the prop

That the affair is serious one is indi-
Gated by the activity in military circles

LONDON. Nov. 22.-The announce.
ment from Durham that communication
with Estcourt is interrupted seems to
confirm the belief that Boer commando
has established itself Mt Willow Grang.
or near the Mooi river and has cut the
telegraph wires. Nevertheless, whatever
definite knowledge the British command
ers may have obtained from the scouts
of the disposition of the Boer commands
In Natal and the conditions of the be-
leaguered garrisons particularly. nothing
has been allowed to develop for the pub
lie information.
Ii is certain that, owing to the heavy
work of debarkation and entraining at
Durham, the preparations for the advance
OF the relief force are in nowisc so ad-
vanced as have been supposed. This
may also be due to the necessity of push
ing stores and provisions to the front in
necdful quantities before the troops are
sent. On the other hand, the celcrity with
which troops are being pushed forward
from Cape Town equally tends to show
that all such preparations regarding for
age and provisions were already well
advanced before the troops arrived at
Cape Town.
The war correspondent of The Stand
ard at Estcourt telegraphs as follows
under Mondays date
mo actual confirmation can he OBJ
tanned of the report that General Joubert
has moved from his position in front of
Ladysmith. Our patrols and spies have
ascertained beyond doubt that several
small commanders are working south
ward. There is growing belief here
that he will move toward Ladysmith
about the end of this week.
The Cape Town correspondent of The
Daily Mail says:
preparations are being made to give
the United States warships a hearty re-
ception in order to emphasize the appre-
citation by the colonsts of the meaning of
an American naval display in South Afri-
can waters at the present juncture."
The Daily Mail publishes the following
dispatch from Pietermaritzburg:
"An official communication from Lady
smith. dated Nov. 1S, says the garrison is
maintaining its position A Boer force
is reported to the rear of Boston, about

Ter, at Cape Town. The first had been

Colonel Baden-Powell, dated at Mafe
king, Nov. 6, saying:
"All well here. We have had few

but his guns remain and shell us, Keeping

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
our Vessels Carry but Little of For
eign Trade.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The an
nual report of Mr.. Chamberlain, the COM
missioner of navigation. shows that
American shipping industries shared in
the general prosperity of the country
during the past fiscal year. The returns
disclose more satisfactory conditions
than those Of any former year in the
bureaus history.
The total documented tonnage on June
80, 1899, comprised 22T2S vessels of
4,S64, 23S gross tons, which is the largest
since 1868. The tonnage operating un-
der our coasting laws, 21,391 vessels of
4,015,992 gross tons, is the largest in our
history and greater than the coasting tom
mage of any other nation. Our steam
tonnage, 2,4I6,O11 tons, for the first time
exceeds the tonnage of all other craft.
In the rest of the world steam tonnage
IL years ago exceeded sail tonnage. Our
tonnage registered for foreign trade re-
mains small and last year American ves-
sells carried fraction less than Q per
cent Of our exports and imports, the
smallest percentage in our history
Within the past 20 years the United
States in seagoing steam tonnage has
dropped from the second place next to
Great Britain to the fourth position, be-
low Germany and France, and if steam
ships in foreign trade alone are consd-
cred below Norway and Spain and only
slightly ahead of japan.
