May Send the Three Million Dol

THE ASSEMBLY HAS ARMY ROLLS

But Refuse to Give Them Up Until tho
Assembly Is Recognized" by Our
Omcials-General Gomez Calls Them
UngratefuT.
Havana, March Ex-Governor Cen
oral Brooke has almost made up his mind
to send the $3,000.000 back TO the United
States II the Cuban military assembly
does not give up the army rolls. "You
may as well do so and not trife much
longer" said Secretary Alger. when dis
cussing the matter two days ago in com
ference with General Brooke and Gem
ersl Gomez. The latter said that such
course would serve the assembly right.
Any way, the impression is spreading
that the governor general may return the
money to Washington, and it is stirring
up fresh feeling against the assembly.
General Ernst called upon the Cuban
General Rafael Portuondo, chairman Of
the executive committee of the assembly,
three days ago and asked for the rolls.
do ysu come from General Brooke"
asked Portuondo. "Yes," replied Cen
eral Ernst "Oficially or unoficially?"
II come unof1cially," answered the Amer.
ican officer. Then I cannot give them
up" retorted Portuondo. II can only d.
SO on official recognition"
A file of the United States troops
would probably be sent to take the rolls
If the military administration knew ex-
actly where they were, but there Is
feeling that a mistake might be made
and the administration be placed in the
light of over anxiety and possibly be
laughed at.
In the course Of q conversation with
an old friend frem San Domingo yes
terday General Gomez said: II am
ready to 90 home. am tired Of this
jangle with the assembly. have learn
ed something about this people which
did not know before. They are an I'M
grateful people. They do not appreciate
what the United States government il
doing for then-a service in which I
am assisting. These assembly commits
sioners have run off again to the United
States to beg for money, while I, who
have wife in San Domingo, have not
money enough to bring her here. But
there have house and might be sure
of enough to live on. am old and tired,
and I feel like going back"

yenerable couple Cremated

Somerville, N. j., March 31.-Two per-
sons were burned to death In small
house at Mine Rock, small place about
is miles from here, on Tuesday. They
were Benjamin Rush, almost 100 years
old, and Catharine Blue, his house,
keeper, who was over 70. They were
recluses, and occupied small frame
dwelling. 1t is thought the high winds
of Tuesday blew down the Aimsy struct-
ure, which caught fire and cremated its
two inmates. The bodies were found in
the smouldering embers on Wednesday,
and the roof of the house was rs feet
away, where 1t had evidently been
blown by the wind.

Albany, N. Y, March Ex-Governor
Roosevelt has received from several
members Of the police force of New York
city communications to the effect that
an assessment has been levied on that
department for some unknown purpose.
These letters are principally from men
who had been asked to contribute, but
who had not done so. The governor I'M
derstands that the patrolmen were as
sessed $40, roundsmen SIS and the SER
geants and captains paid proportionate-
ly. Some had been led to believe that
the assessment was for some benevolent
purpose. Others did not have the slight
est idea of what it was to be used for.
The governor said that he would not re-
veal the names of the writer's to any
one, not even the committee which will
be appointed to investigate the rumors
that money had been raised in the New
York police department for the purposes
Of influencing legislation.

moaning of the distant sea, and which
has been compared to the "voice Of 81
lence." Amid the loneliness he did not
see the twinkle Of point CT light from
any dwelling of the neighborhood. 1t
was as if he stood alone in the midst Of
primeval solitude.
Like the veteran soldier who has de-
cided upon his line of action, the lieu
tenant did not hesitate. He felt deep
humiliation in leaving that hospitable
home in 20 stealthy fashion. Itseemed
an ungrateful return for all the kind
nesses received, and he had debated
with himself the question Of placing
note on his stand for Mrs. Eldridge, but
what should he write? He could make
no explanation without drawing suspi-
cion to the means by which he had been
warned, and that was not to be thought
Of.
"No," he muttered. "They must
think what they choose. Perhaps the
day may come when I can tell them
something, but at present everything
must wait"
