In discussing this matter last night Of

the full reconstruction of Cuba. The sol!
diers of Gomez's army will return to the
arts Of peace and better condition will
quickly prevail.
President Mckinley is pleased, and his
friends declare he did just the right thing
IN sending Mr.. Porter directly to Gen
eral Gomez. The latter no doubt felt
piqued that he had been in large meas
ure ignored By this Government. and his
natural pride caused him to sulk. His
cooperation is regarded as having largely
solved the Cuban problem, and it is pre-
dicted that existing discomfort and mutter-
ings among the natives of the island will
now disappear.

The Old Chieftain Now Friendly and
Ready TO Assist in Cuban
Pucification.

President Mckinley was greatly gratifiei
yesterday afternoon when he received a
long cable message from Gen. Maxine
Gomez, commander-in-c n-chief OF the Cuban
army. The dispatch, it apears, was sent
after the venerable Cuban chief had held
an important conference with Mr. Robslt
r. Porter, who was sent to Cuba by Presi

night, Gen. Gomez places himself at the

suits and the restoration of the island to
its former prosperous conditions.

This important and cheering message will
be submitted by Mr.. Mckinley TO his ad-
yisers at the Cabinet meeting today, and

cablegram as a basis.

resentative in this city, who accompanied
him TO the Cuban camp.
Contrary TO current reports. Mr.. Porter
was clothed with authority to state this
Governments case to General Gomez and
proffer the $4,000. .O00 for the payment OF

Mr.. BARROWS LIKELY
TO Be LIBRARIAN
New Englander Seems to Be
the Presidents Choice.
Mr.. Aly0rd Believed to BE Out Of
the Race.
Successor of the Late John
Russell Young.

The prevailing impression at the White
House yesterday was that Thomas e. AL
word was practically out of the contest for
the appointment as Librarian of Congress
1t was stated some time ago that Presi-
dent Mckinley was deliberating between
the choice of Mr.. Alvord and Representa-
tive Barrows OF Massachusetts as success
sor to the late john Russell Young Mr.
Alvord was strongly endorsed for the posi-
tion by the entire New York Congressional
delegation, and many influential persons
of Washington, but. in view of the fact
that New York State has already received
its share of the big positions. the influence
of Senator Piatt and his colleagues will
not. it is said. secure Mr.. AlvOrd the COW
eted appointment.
Mr.. Alyord was at the Executive Man
sion yesterday. and waited to see the
President for over two hours. He called
shortly after 10 o'clock and sat patiently
in the lobby, awaiting his turn to be ad
mitted to the Cabinet room, where he
| might confer with Mr. Mckinley, until the
usher announced that the President was
| compelled to deny himself TO callers for
| the rest OF the day account OF an i'm
| portant document which he desired to
! peruse. MIR. AlvOrd consequently had to
leave the mansion without seeing him.
! II was semi officially stated yesterday
afternoon that in all probability Represent
tatiye Barrows would be the next Lii
brarian. MIR. Barrows is backed by all
| the members of Congress from Massachu-
| setts and several other New England
| States. He also has the endorsement OF
/ Secretary Long.
Besides Mr.. Barrows' strong political en-
dOrsements for the appointment, he also
| possesses the qualifications to fill the posi-
| ton. Mr.. Mckinley announced some time
| ago that he intended to select n person
| of literary and executive ability, so essen
| tial to the proper conduct OF the Library,
| and his choice of Mr.. Barrows may be said
to be a great compliment TO that gentle
man.

AssIeseEs' AUCTION SALE.
Boyd. Corey Shoe Factory 10 BE Sold 10 Nigh.
est Bidder, July 20.

The assignees Of the Boyd. Corey &
Co. shoe factory have advertised the
plant and machinery for sale at a pub
lie auction, July 20. at the factory In
this city.
The plant cost the original stock
holders $4,000 to build. two years ago,
and is one of the most modern and best
factories in New England. The as
signees have been endeavoring, ever
since last December, to sell the prop
erty at private sale but have not been
successful. They have had trades
made with concerns but they have fall
en- through by some other town or city
offering the concern factory rent
free. power and bonus on top of that.
The assignees had the, promise Of the
Commonwealth Shoe Co, the concern
which operates the Gardiner factory, to
take the plant but Skowhegan offered
them the factory there rent free with
a bonus and power, SO the deal fell
through.
The factory has been closed about q
month and the assignees must sell it
for the expense of keeping a Waterman
there day and night is too great to be
continued any longer. The plant will
probably be bought by some reliable
concern. for it ia too great a bargain
to be allowed to go begging. and then
Augusta will again have a shoe factory
in successful operation

BUT LITTLE BUSINESS.
Aldermen At Weekly Meeting Discuss Fire 10
WEIGH House, Tuesday.

There was little business transacted
at the regular weekly meeting of the
board Of aldermen. Saturday evening.
There was an informal discussion of
the fires in the WEIGH house on Court
street, the morning Of the Fourth of
July. Several of the firemen were pre-
sent and testified as to their knowledge
of them. They testified that when they
reached the building at the second fire
there was a strong odOr of kerosene.
From the testimony presented there
seemed little doubt but that the fire
was of incendiary origin. but the city
government will do nothing in the mat
ter until the State insurance depart
ment demands an inquest. If this Is
done there will be an inquest held.
While all are reasonably certain that
the fire was set it is almost impossible
to attach the guilt to any person.
The board voted to order Herbert
Norcross to connect his sewer on the
lower end of State street with the city
sewer.
The matter Of the Davis property at
the corner of State and Court street
was again put over. This matter was
laid on the table. last week, to allow
the aldermen to personally investigate
the property and was to have come up
for final disposal, Saturday night, but
owing to the illness Of Mrs. Davis at
torney, Lendall TitcOmb. it was impos-
sible to dispose of the matter. 1t will
come up, Saturday evening at the regu-
lar weekly meeting.

REPAIRS ON WINTHROP STREET.
The Square Near the Court House to b
Graded.

A street improvement that will meet
with general favor is the one that has
been started on the top Of Winthrop
hill, near the junction with State
washed out place this is. and right in
the very center of the city, too. 1t is
purposed to put this into first-class
shape. and City Engineer Getchell and
his crew were at work on the place,
Saturday, preparing the plans for the
work.
This work will embrace the section
from the electric car track to the top
of the hill. At this latter point all who
have had occasion to drive over it
know that there is ridge that is dan
gerous. This will be taken as the
point and there will be a grade back to
the track. Crushed rocks will be used
in the work to quite an extent. The
street will be made of the usual width
and at each side will be stone cutters
SO that it will be better drained. The
sides Of the street after it is laid out,
will also be graded.
This will not only improve the ap-
pearance of this section, but 1t will
make it far better for the teams that
have to travel over it.

been made very rough by the recent
rains is Rines hill. The rain trenched
