Havana. May 16. - General Maxine
Gomez informed Governor General
Brooke yesterday that he must with
draw from the plan for distributing the
SS.GGO.OOO appropriated to the payment
of the Cuban troops to the extent that
he will not name other commissioners
to replace those originally named by
him, who have refused To serve. Gov
ernor General Brooke is to go ahead
with new plan. Gomez remaining in
an attitude of friendly inactivity. Cen
eral Brooke will issue an order for Gu
tan privates and on-commissioned
officers to meet at specified places on
specified dates to receive payms ut. Taey
are to be accompanied by their COM
pany officers for the purpose of identif-
cation. Both General Gomez and the
governor general feel that the privates
ought not to lose their share in the
American sratuity merely because the
schemes Of certain high officers in the
Cuban army have interpCssd obstacles.
Military CabaI Organized.
Yesterday afternoon General Gomez
wrote a history Of his relations to the
army payment question. 1t includes the
correspondence that has passed between
himself and the governor general and
il is intended to make his position
clear to the public and to contrast his
conduct favorably with that of the 9TH
er Cuban leaders. When he called on
General Brooke yesterday Gomez said
that he had arrived at his decision
with reluctance and with the most
friendly feelings toward General
Brooke personally and officially. but he
felt he could no longer represent the
Cuban army because a cabal, composed
of many of the subordinate commanders
existed to oppose. and if possible de-
feat. the plans for partitioning the
money.
Disgusts the Old Cuban Leader.
He explained that former members of
the Cuban military assembly. leo by
Mayai Rodriguez. Manuel SanEuilly,
Juan Gaulbertto, and other malcontents,
who had organized a majority of the
officers against him, apparently, and
though he Gomez might persist and
possibly carry the payment to a sue
cessful conclusion. he was Disguised and
wished to wash his hands of the whole
business. Therefore. he thought that
II he left General Brooke free. the latter
would be able to act with equal eff
fectiveness alone. General Brooke says
that forCiEle disarmament Of the Cuban
troops will be the ultimate procedure
provided the events of the next two or
three weeks show that such action is
necessary.

that the management of the show was

not to attempt a parade. This advice

DAILY INTER OCEAN,
Always $::;:':;''. ): $$;:::::' $:'';:!;: Is:

The Inter Ocean has been for &c
years the stalwart republican news
paper of the west. It has taught
more battles for principle than any
other newspaper in the United States
1t began its career as a supporter of
General Grant in 1872, when ali
other republican papers in Chicago
went over to the enemy. 1t has
taught the battle of Americanism in
every campaign as earnestly and eff
fectively as it taught the slandcrers
of our army and the defamers of
our president in the campaign of '98.
The Inter Ocean is now better
newspaper than ever before. 1t has
unparalleled facilities for gathering
Foreign news, Western news, Illinois
news. 1t has the ablest corresponds
ents in the field with every division
of the army, IN Cuba, in Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, and with
every squadron and fleet in foreign
waters. 1t has men of affairs, we'll
inform ed as to politics, in every cap
ital in Europe, and enterprising cor
respondents in Africa and Asia. 1t
is absolutely fearless in telling the
truth, and the publication of the news
is not influenced by editorial opinion.
Among the special features of the
daily Inter Ocean are:
The Holland Letter, from New
York, published every day. This is
written by one of the best posted and
most intelligent observers in the east.
The Matthew Marshall Letter,
published every Monday morning, a
review OF the financial and CONNER
cial situation, by gentleman well
informed as to all the discussions
and operations on Wall street.
A sporting department which COW
ers more satisfactorily than any other
newspaper the whole field Of running,
trotting, baseball, football, golf, ten
mis-, boating, boxing, etc.
Financial, commercial and insur-
ance departments, giving news and
intelligent comment not only from
Chicago, but all other business Gen.
tcrs.
A literary feature is the publication
of series OF vivid serial stories ap-
pcaring every day.
The daily Inter Ocean publishes
more news than any other Chicago
daily. 1t has the ablest and strong
est editorials and the greatest va
riety Of literary and special matter.
1t is always American and always
republican.

1.-THE EDITOR"

The following humorous but
"strictly truthful" article was
written by William A. White, the
brilliant editor of the Emporia
(Kansas) Gazette:
"It takes money to run a news
paper" says the st. John (Kansas)
News.
What an exaggeration and what
a newspaper. Why, it has been
tlisproved thousand times 1t
is only IL clear case of airy fancy.
1t doesn't take money to run a
newspaper--it can be run without
money. 1t is not business ven
ture, il is charitable institution,
u begging concern and highway
robbery. A newspaper is the
child of the air, the creature of
dream. 1t can go on and on and
on when any other concern would
be in the hands of receiver aud
wound up with the cobwebs in the
windows.
1t takes wind to run a newspa-
per. 1t takes gall, a scintillating,
acrobatic imagination, n half doz-
en- white shirts and railroad pass
to run newspaper. But money
heavens TO Betsey and six hands
around--who ever needed money
in conducting newspaper! Kind
worls are the medium of exchange
that do the business for the editor
kind words and church social
tickets. When you see an editor
with money, watch him He'll
be paying his bills and disgracing
his profession. Never give money
to an editor. Make him trade 1t
out-he likes to swap.
Then when you die, after hav-
ing stood for years and sneered at
the editor and his little jlm-crow
paper be sure and tell your wife
to send in for three extra copies
by one of your weeping children,
and then when shc reads the gen.
erous and touching notice about
you she should neglect TO send Is
cents to the editor for it might
overwhelm him. Money is ,or-
rupt thing and the editor knows it.
What the editor wants is your
heartfelt thanks-then he can
thank the printers and the printers
can thank the grocers.
Take your job work to some
other printing Office and then come
and ask for half rates for society
notices. Get your society and
other stationery printed at another
office and then flood the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolu-
tions of respect and cards of
thanks Ito be published gratis).
They make such spicy reading.
and when You pick it up filled
with these glowing and vivid NOR
tuary notices, you are SO proud of
the editor and his little paper.
But money--scorn the filthy
thing. Don't let the pure, inno-
cent editor know anything about
moncy-keep that for sorlid
trades people who charge for their
wares. The Lord loves cheerful
giver-the editor gives his bounty
away-so the Lord will take care
of the editor. Don't worry about
him-he'll get the paper out some
how, aud stand up for the whole
city, and whoop it up for you
when you run for Office, and about
your pigeon-tccd daughter S
sticky" wedding, blow about
your big-footed sons when they
get Il S4-a-week job, and weep
over your shriveled soul wh1n it
is released from your gasping
body. Don't worry about the
editor--he'll get on, the Lord
knows how buf a,u,ohou,
