Gen. Gomez has withdrawn
from any participation in the
distribution Of the money sent
by the United States to pay off
the Cuban army. He says he
has arrived at the determine
tion with great reluctance, but
felt that he could no longer rep
resent the Cuban army because
a cabal composed of many sub
ordinate commanders existed to
oppose plans for distributing
the money. General Brooke has
rolls of the privates and non
commissioned officers willing tC
accept S75 each and the amount
will be offered on conditions pre-
viously laid down. The forcible
disarmament of the Cuban
troops will be ultimate proce-
dure provided events show that
such action is necessary.

Washington advices say that
the president will call congress
together at an early date. One
of the measures to be consider
ed is currency reform, in the in
terest of the banking syndicate.
One of the provisions of the pro-
posed reform, allows banks, or
individuals who can purchase
S25, 900 bonds, which the people
have to pay interest upon, to
tablish banks, and the govern
ment will issue them $25, 900 in
notes, which they will loan to
the people on gilt edge security
and all the interest they can get
from the borrower. Their cap
ital is thus doubled. They are
receiving interest on $50. 200 on
an investment of only $25, 900.
This is only one of the methods
which our benefcent govern
ment employs to make the rich
richer.

The following from the Tucsol

The following from the Tucson
Star, tells of the big water
strike in the King of Arizona
mines. D. NJ Riordan, presi-
dent of the King of Arizona gold
mines, returned from the mines
and brought the very cheering
intelligence that the contract
ors boring for water for the mill
had struck an inexhaustible sup
ply at a depth of 500 feet. The
water was encountered in coarse
gravel and the application of
their best pumps does not affect
the quantity in the least degree
Mr.. Riordan says the indications
are that they have struck an i'm
mense underground lake 20x1O
miles in area. He says this
water strike will be of greater
value to Yuma county than any
mine within its borders, as it
settles the fact of the existence
of immense volumes of water IN
that region sufficient for agrl-
cultural as well as for mining
purposes. The contractors who

It is evident that the party

the part of the government to
segregate every mining district
and locality on the reservat ton.

New York, June PA Paris special
says that dinner given at the house
of Countess de Castellane formerly
Anna Could last night was attended
by some of the most prominent men,
bers of the French aristocracy. II was
given out and reported as a strictly
social affair, but today the fact that
those present We're openly avowed enc
mics of the republic caused suspicious
to be aroused.
1t is now declared that the dinner
was but a meeting of conspiratorS who
are plotting to overthrow the French
republic by endeavoring TO induce the
army to revolt in favor of monarchy
at the coming grand military review.
The Countess de Castellane is one of
the most vigorous royalists in Paris At
the demonstration at the races of the
Automobile club. during which Presi-
dent Loubet was assaulted she is re-
ported as having led a band of royal
lists, shouting ''Vive la armie'' Her
husband subsequently denied this. but
it is still asserted that she and her
friends present were enthusiastic over
the demonstration.
The immense wealth of the cchntess
gives her power and prestige among the
royalists, and she is regarded as one
of the leaders of the movement against
the republic.

Vernal, Utah, June 21.-Sheriff Preece
with several men left here late last
night for the Browns Park country A
careful inquiry leads to the conclusion
that advices have been received con-
corning the movements of the Union
Pacific train robbers.
The sudden departure of Sheriff
Preece gives rise to the belief that the
fugitives are headed this way. Should
the bandits reach the old Power Springs
rendezvous in advance of the officers,
it is feared by many that they will
find supplies and perhaps reinforce
mentS awaiting them, as there is no
question but there is constant commu-
nication between the different central
points of operation. Sheriff Preece is
thoroughly familiar with the country
around Powder Springs and Browns
Park, having made many trips into
that wild section and should the out
laws invade the old haunts of Tracy
and Liant they will no doubt receive as
warm a reception as did those desper-
ate characters.
Powder Springs is close to the line of
the three states, Colorado. Utah and
Wyoming and is an ideal place for the
rendezvous of bad men. But of late
Sheriff Preece has kept such a watch on
the place that matters have been pref
ty quiet, although different parties
have reported signs of life at the old
stand on several occasions. Should the
fugitives reach this station they will
run up against the hardest combination
they have encountered. for Uintah
county has some of the most deter
mined men in the west, men who balk
at nothing and are ever ready to assist

Regarding the prospects of Mr.. Bryan

the heart of the Democratic party was
with Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago plat
form on which he ran.

affirmed said Senator Bate, land the
clause against trusts will be strength
ened. The united south will stand be-
hind Mr. Bryan, free silver and oppo-
sition to trusts.
Mr.. Bate said very small part of
the Populists will refrain from coop
Grating with the Democracy, especially
if Mr.. Bryan is the leader. Another
thing which is encouraging is that a
large portion of the German element in
the northwestern states which are
doubtful, is in sympathy with the De-
mocracy and against expansion.
