one. This is a great injustice. There
was not Il particle of hypocrlcy in his
Serat nature, and in his later wears
he was communican: in the ED!sco-
pal church. In 1872, before the dis
bandment OF his army, when in New

communion in the Presbyterian church,
he sent q messenger To the minister 10
know If he, n member of another de
nomination, would be allowed TO com

welcome all Christians to their COM

JUDGE wILLcoX's ADDRESS.


Bro Williamson next introduced Hon
Thomas II. Wilcox to sceak on the
Patriotism and Fraternity of the I'M
proved Order of Red Men.
Bro Wilcox, in onening. defined
patriotism as love of country, and fra.
.ternty as love of ones fellow man. and
said:
Next to our God we Should love our
country but better than ourselves we
should love our fellow man. True
patriotism thinks of country before self
and true fraternity always esteems the
obligations and duties of life higher
than its pleasures"
He drew n humorous distinction be-
tween the true and false patriotism. and
referred to Washington as one of the
highest examples of, the former the
world has ever seen, and in later illus
tration mentioned the man in gray
facing the steel hail. climbing the
heights of Gettysburg and the same
man bearing the pain of. Appomattox
and to Gordon at Kartou7n. and as
browning instance to the purest patriot
ism. which is fraternity, as shown by
Christ on Calvary.
From this introduction he traced The
Appropriateness of patriotism and fra.
ternity to be the key words OF the I'm
proved Order of Red Men.

RAIN WAS WORTH
MANY MILLIONS

San Francisco, March 1.-THE rain
storm which began on Tuesday has
reached the southern counties of the
state, relieving the anxiety of the farm
ers Of that section. A great industry in
San Bernard!no and Ventura counties is
beet raising and the present rain fall has
assured large crops. lay and grass will
now be plentiful and cattlemen are cor
respondingly happy. Mines which last
year were closed down on account of lack
of water, will be able to run the entire
summer, as there is plenty of snow in the
mount tains and the streams are full Fruit
trees also have been greatly helped by
the storm. The rain of the past three
days has been of vast benefit to Calfor-
mia and its value in resultant crops will
amount to millions of dollars.

ed that the women. children, horses sol-
diers and cara bos fled in hundreds across
the open fields toward Laguna de Bay.
The gunboat ceased firing, but followed
close behind the panic stricken crowo,
driving them inland. s....,..-
On Tuesday the gunboat Ceste joined
the Lagunaade Bay, both under command
of Capt. Grant. They made for the lake
channel. which had been blocked by the
insurgents, but they finally cleared the
way. On the lake we chased two sailing
vessels which were full of insurgents.
Both vessels refused to surrender and
ran ashore, the rtoops escaping in spite
of our fire..
During Wednesday, while approaching
Santa Cruz. the richest city on the lake,
we raised a white flag when five hundred
yards from the shore. A large force OF
insurgents. are intrenched in front of the
town, but they refused to confer with us.
Then we sheiled their position effectively
and withdrew to the end of he lake to
await the landing of our forces.

is A BIG BOON
FOR GEN. GOMEZ
MAY BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF
CUBA-ASSEMBLY NOT IN 1T.

New York, March ia dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: Wednesday
nights demonstration in favor of Gomez
at the Molinas seems to have been turned
by the anti-assembIy leaders into some
thing of a presidential boom for the
grand old man. of Cuban politics. Most
of the speakers insisted on proc!aimfng
the deposed general-in- chief the sole
guaranteer of insular independence and
the inevitable head of the still uniformed
Cuban republic.
In reply to these highly flattering as
surances, Gen. Gomez cautiously, but still
;suggestively declared that he could not
think of accepting the presidential title
unless it We're bestowed upon him by the
unanimous vote Of the Cuban people.
This answer disclosed an intention
,singularly at variance with the pro-
gramme he announced in his manifesto
of Sunday last in response to the assem-
.bly's resolution deposing him from office
In that manifesto he said that his sole
desire was now to retire to private life
and end his days in peace on his planta-
ton in San Domingo. His new attitude
is also in striking contrast with his offer
of his sword to a committee of Porto
Ricans which had suggested the initiation
of movement for independence in that
island.
Gen. Gomez's latest change of front Is
due doubtless to the overwhelming char
acter of the victory he has won over the
assembly and to the elation he feels at
the almost unanimous support offered to
him by all classes Of the Cuban people.
His future course in politics will ,sbe
watched with interest for if the elections
which are to furnish basis for political
reorganization are held before the present
furore in his favor subsidies, he can
doubtless have the highest honors the
new constitutional assembly can bestow
on him, merely for the asking.
The Meade. with the SO, 100000 in cash
on board, which is to be paid to the
Cuban soldiers, entered the harbor last
night and preparations are being pushed
for the disbursement of the money
through the agency of Gomez. ~
The military association held no meet
ing today as it's members are hopelessly
demoralized and altogether at sea as to
their future programme. one result or
the assembly's discontinue is already
apparent in the efforts being made TO
secure the removal from office of the civil
governor of the city. Senior Mora, and the
SUPERINTENDENT of police, Gen. Mario
Menocal. both of whom are accused by
the Gomez faction of having shown un7
due partisanship in trying to repress the
popular demonstration of last Monday. n
At Gen. Brooke's headquarters at
Vedado it was said that Gen. Fife was
suffering from malarial fever, the relapse
of a trouble which he contracted last
summer at Santiago.
The First Texas and the Second Louis
lana are the next volunteer regiments TO
he sent home for mastering out. The lat
ter will sail for. Savannah on Saturday,
the Ward line steamer Havana having
been chartered to transport the regiment
to the United States. .--
