WANT 5000 PER HEAD.

Officers of Dewey's Fleet Claim tho Span
ish Force at Manila Was Superior to tho
American Force.
Washington, March 1.-THE officers
of Deweys fleet have preferred a claim
for double the amount of head money
which it was at first believed they were
entitled to receive as the result Of the
victory over the Spanish forces at
Cavite last May day. The law pro-
vides that 800 shall be allowed to the
victors for each person on the captur-
ed or destroyed vessel. By that calcu-
lation almost 100000 would be divided
among Dewey's sailors. But 1t is also
provided that where the conquered
force was superior to the attacking
force, then the allowance shall be $500
per head. While Dewey's claim is not
based on any superiority of the Span
ish fleet, it is asserted that that fleet.
fighting in conjunction with the shore
batteries at Cavite did constitute
superior force in the meaning of the
law. The point is new one and Is
now under consideration before the
judge advocate general of the navy.

tensive preparations are being made

ton. 1t is well understood that Gen.
Otis is only awaiting the arrival OF the
remainder of his reinforcements to IN
augurate an active campaign, though
the department has heard nothing
from him on this subject.
The War Department, according to
it's officials, is awaiting with quite as
much interest as the public some de-
finite news from the Philippines which
will show just how Gen. Otis intends
to utilize Gen. Lawton and his REIN
forcements in the campaign against
the natives. 1t has been quite gener-
ally understood, without official con-

in Indian fighting has peculiarly fitted
him for his present command and Gen.
Otis is well acquainted with his capaoll-

ment fully expects Lawton to spring a
few like surprises on the Filipinos and is
awaiting news of the field campaign with
proportionate interest.

GOMEZ 1MPEACHED.
The Cuban Commander Removed as
General in Chief of the Cuban Ar
my by the Milit Try Assembly.

Havana, March 1.-THE Cuban mill
tary assembly III public assembly this
afternoon impeached General Maxine
Gomez and removed him from his COM
mand as general in chief of the Cuban
army, the first ballot taken resulting in
26 votes cast in support of the motion
to impeach and remove General Gomez,
against four in opposition. The meet
ing lasted from 2 o clock until Z.
Gen. Gomez's only supporters were
General Cespedes and General Nunez.
The original motion, which was intro
duced by Senior Manuel Sanguilly, pro-
vided the abolition of the grade of gen.
eral in chief, but an amendment to this
was offered by Senior Aguerro, which
read: ITO abolish the grade of general
in chief and to remove Gen. Gomez for
failure in his military duties and dis
obedience to the assembly"
senior Aguerro declared that Gomez was
insubordinate and should be punished, and
Senior Sanguilly insinuated that the gen
eral was traitor to Cuba.
Much passion was evident in the
speeches, in some of which Gomez was de-
clared to have been delinquent in his du-
ties and disobedient because he had ac-
cepted the proposition of Robert P. Porter
President McKinley's special emissary,
without consulting the assembly; because
he had taken upon himself the arrange
ments for the payment and disarming of
the Cuban troops Independent of the as
sembly, and because he had declared to
the assembly that he would observe its
rulings in so far as he considered them
beneficial to Cuba
The assembly again declared that the So
10000 was insufficient and that it has not
yet accepted the proposition. The discus
sion of this question will soon be taken
up now that General Gomez has been re-
moved.
Senior Gonzales de Quesada, who accom-
panied Mr.. Porter in Cuba, was attacked
by Senores Gualberto Gomez, Sanguilly
and Aguerro. who declared that he had
acted in bad faith and deceived them.
Col. Mora and Gen. Nunez declared that
the present step was useless and would
make the assembly ridiculous in the eyes
of the world.
Gen. Gomez received at Molinas this
evening telephone message announcing
to him the assembly's decision He an
swered calmly: "All right. 1 enjoy the
situation" He then came to Havana to
keep a dinner engagement with his daugh-
ter at the house of a friend.

Major Lee cross-questioned the wit

it left the transports until 1t reached

was then dismissed.
Lieutenant Colonel H. B. Sharpe was
next called. He was in camp Thomas
from April % until General Brooke was
ordered to Porto Rico, about July 20,
when he was ordered TO accompany
him as chief commissary of the First
Corps.
He was questioned as to the terms
of the contract with contractors who
furnished the beef, as to the quantity
to be delivered or ready in stock, and
also as to the manner of handling the
supplies by the brigade commiSsaries.
THE orders required" he said. that
the wagons in which the refrigerated
beef was carried should be very clean
and with fresh hay or straw spread on
the bottom. When a wagon arrived
that was not in suitable condition to
carry the beef it was either sent back
or cleaned and put in proI II shape"
There was complaint about the beef
on some occasions, but it was because
the regimental commissaries sent for it
in wagons that were unfit for use. On
one occasion, when there was complaint
that the beef was moldy, discolored and
full of maggots, we Investigated and
found that the condition had been caus-
ed by the fearful state of the wagon.
The men could not eat that beef, so, OF
course, they had to do without.
Il remember another instance where
the wagon in which the meat was car
ried was filthy from manure that had
been previously loaded in it. Both
these wagons We're Immediately ordered
to be thoroughly cleansed. In neither
of these cases that | have cited was the
fault due to the condition OF the meat,
but solely to the filthy state of the
wagons"

With the mercury at seventy-fiva

out of doors, and the streets were
thronged and business doomed. Only
few scattered traces of winter were
