CUBAN ARMY 70 D|SBAND
Gen. Gomez Has Promised to
Aid Mckinley.
ARMY TO BE PAID $4,000, 900
Thus Is Removed One of the Serious
Hindrances to the Pacification of
the Cubans-POrter'sM Mission.

Remedies, Santa Clara, Cuba, Feb.
4.-Maximo Gomez, commander. in
chief of the Cuban army, placed him.
self squarely In position today as an
active ally of the United States govern
ment in the work of reconstruction in
Cuba.
AS result of conference which
Robert P. Porter, special commissioner
of President Mckinley, has had with
Gomez, the latter cabled to President
Mckinley this afternoon assuring him
of his cooperation in disbanding the
Cuban army and distributing among
the Cuban soldiers $4,000 appro-
priated for the purpose of enabling
them to return to their homes. Gomez
also telegraphed to Major General
Brooke, saying he would accept the lat
ter's invitation to 60 to Havana.
The success of Porter's mission
greatly simplifes the returning OF mili-
tary Cubans to pursuits of peace. In
view of Gomez supposed prior attitude
of hostility towards the United States.
Porter came here clothed with absolute
authority, and his tender of $3,000,-
600 was practically verbal ultimatum.
Had it not been accepted no more pro-
posals would have been made. In
brief, the compact is as follows:
First-The Cuban officers in each
province shall assist the American Off
GERS in distributing the funds.
Second-These officers shall at once
meet at some convenient point and de.
wise when and where settlements are
to be made. and arrange any other de.
tails.
Third-The sum paid to each man
shall not be regarded as part payment
of salary or wages due for for services
rendered, but to facilitate disbandment
of the army, in reliet of suffering, and
to aid in getting people to work.
Fourth-The Cubans shall surrender
their arms to the Cuban assembly OF
to its representatives..
Fifth-The committee on distribu
tion shall use it's best endeavors to dis
tribute the money among the popula
tion so all may secure work.
Sixth-The $3.000,000 shall b.
placed subject to the order of Genera
Brooke. and action in the matter shal
be immediate.

Speedy Mail Carriers.

All records of ice travel on the Yu-
kon have been broken by the recent feat
of the mounted police of the Northwest
territory in bringing big shipment
of mail from Dawson to Skagway in
nine days and 10 hours. The mail
left Dawson on the morning of January
10 and was in Skagway before noon on
January 81. The record was made by
the Canadian officials, it is said, to
show that they could greatly reduce
the time being made by the United
States mail contractors.

ALONG THE COAST.
Items OF General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
States.
Railroad Extension.

Considerable excitement prevails from
Lakeview, Lake county, Oregon, all
along the line to Reno. New, owing to
the recent authenticated report of the
extension of the Nevada g. California
railroad from Amedu, CAL, north. The
news of the purchase of over 5000 tons
of steel rails in New York by the own
ers Of this road was sent out last week,
and the material will be shipped i'm.
mediately to Amedu, preparatory to
beginning of extension work in the
spring. This is nanow-guage road
now terminating at Amedu, and it is
concluded that the next terminus will
be Van Loans, 65 miles north. and
nearly crossing over the great NADIA
line plains. 1t will place Lakeview
within 105 miles of railroad transport
tation, and will make considerable
difference in stock shipping, freighting
and passenger travel. The object of
the proposed extension is to head off
the Southern Pacific Company, which
is now extending its line from Upton
through the great McCloud timber belt
to Fall River,

troll, leaving to the Americans, how
ever, the control of the headwaters Of
the Lynn canal. by which both oi
these supply towns are reached.

enclose such monument, and the sum
OF $40, 900 is appropriated for that pur-
pose."

tion, which he asked might lie on the

claims any intention OF purpose to ex-
erclse permanent sovereignty, jurisdic-
tion or control over the Philippines
and assert their determination when a
stable and independent government
shall have been erected therein, en-
titled to recognition as su III, to trans
fer to such government upon terms
which shall be reasonable and just all
rights secured under the cession by
Spain, and to therupon leave the gov

Alaska Boundary and Reciprocity.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The subcom-
mittee work of the Canadian joint high
commission today was divided between
the Alaska boundary question and the
reciprocity clause of the treaty. The
reciprocity session was the longer one
of the two, and was the first at which
Mr.. Payne, the new American mem
ber of the commission, was able to ap-
pear. 1t is thought that the two sides
will reach the bedrock possibilities of
an agreement within a few days. The
boundary question presents fewer an
giles and a settlement satisfactory to
both sides is regarded as very likely.
