GOMEZ 70 Be A PRESIDENT
DOOMED FOR THAT HONOR
The Movement Toward His Election l.
Begun-He Is wiling IL UnanimousIy
EIected-The Military Assembly he
moraIizcd-Gen. Chatih Has the Fever.

New York, March lS.--A dispatch TO
the Tribune from Havana says:
The popular demonstration in honor OF
General Gomez at the Quinta de los Me
limos seems to have been turned by the
anti-assembly leaders into something of
presidential boom for the grand old
man" of Cuban politics. Most of the
speakers insisted on procaiming the de-
posed general in chief the sole guarantor
of insular independence and the Inevitable
head OF the still unfounded Cuban repub-
lie.
In reply to these highly flattering as
surances, General Gomez cautiously, but
still suggestively, declared that lie could
not think of accepting the presidential
title unless it were bestowed upon him by
the unanimous vote of the Cuban people
This answer disclosed an intention sin
gularly at variance with the program he
announced in his manifesto OF Sunday
last. In that manifesto he said that his
sole desire was now to retire to private
life and end his days in peace on his plan
tation in San Domingo. His now atti.
tude is also in striking contrast with the
offer of his sword to "A committee Of Puer-
to Ricans who had suggested the initia-
ton of movement for the independence
OF that island.
The military assembly held NO meeting
yesterday and its members are hopeIessly
demOralized and altogether at sea as TO
their future program. One result OF the
assembly's discontinue is already appar-
ent in the efforts being made TO secure
the removal from office of the civil GOV
ernor OF the city, Senior Mora, and rhe
superintendent OF police, General Mario
Menocal, both of whom are accused by
the Gomez faction of having shown undue
partisanship in trying to repress the pop
ular demonstration OF last Monday.
AT General Brooke's headquarters it was

Republic.

Republic.
Some fine specimens OF copper gold ore
were brought down from the Copper
Queen and Number Nine claims on Buck
horn mountain. These claims lie about
half mile north of the noted Buckhorn
mine. There is a shaft on theCopper
Queen that is 20 feet deep and the ledge
is 10 feet in width. Five assays have
been made OF the ore that showed values
of from $92 to sos per ton. The ore
is what is usually termed copper ore, but
1T carries quite percentage of gold
and silver
The Number Nine is mammoth
ledge, having "a surface showing of 90
feet. 1t Is a combination of magnetic
iron, copper and gold The assays vary
from SIG to 1913 per ton of all values. The
properties are owned by Dan and Doc
McClung.
1t is reported that there is considerable
mining going on in that section. Sew
eral of the copper properties are being de-
veloped and also one of the gold claims
Among the latter is the Review mine. 1t
is said that it is looking better than
ever.
Everything at the Bodie is ready for
the reception of the hoist, but it is still
a matter OF doubt when it will arrive
Frank Jackson, superintendent of the
Excelsior group, states that the shaft on
the property is 80 feet deep and the ledge
three and a half feet wide The ledge is
gradually improving in width and values.
The claim lies about three-fourths of a
mile south of the Golden Harvest.
One shift only is working on the Black
tail. The work is being done in the raise.
1t is claimed that there is yet 40 feet
of raise to make in the San Poll before
the two tunnels will be connected. The
ore remains of as high grade as hereto
fore, 1t is said to run from $40 TO $50
per ton. It is Just possible that the CON
nection will be made by the first OF
April.
The Quilp is more promising with every
foot of development, and there is large
body of stopping ore in sight, but the
great value of the property will not be
accurately known until after shaft has
been sunk to depth OF several hundred
feet
The Eureka has been surveyed for a
patent.
The Kate Hayward tunnel is making
good progress, and it is expected that it
will strike the ledge within the next 20
feet.
In the Lone Pine there has been about
1870 feet OF drift run on the ledge The
tunnel was driven about 100 feet to tap
the ledge at depth of about SO feet.
From the face of this the drift was start
ed east and along the ledge, Where it
was cut by the tunnel it was about nine
feet wide, but at its present face it is
about 10 feet wide. The ledge widened
gradually as the drift was extended east
and the values also increased a. rapidly
as did the width.

HAVANA IN POLICE charge
GAVE THEIR LIVES.
Blue Goats Were Put 10 "A Test Several
Were Severely Wounded and One Has
Died-The Attack on Them Inspired
by Criminals Military Moving ON

New York, March 81 \ dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says
The exhibitions Of lawlessness, whi ia fox
the last two days have shocked the eity's
growing sense Of order and security, proved
a fiery trial TO the newly organized Ha
vana police.
The members of the force were put to a
test which public opinion scarcely thought
it equal to, and as a result General Memo
calls bluecoats stand higher today in pop.
ular estimation than would have been
fancied possible after the fiascos commit
ted IN attempting 10 suppress the anti
assembly demonstrations a week ago
1T was charged then against the police
men that they dubbed women and Gil
dren, but begged men to move on with
the most scrupulous pollteness. On sat
urday night and yesterday the bluecoats-
showed they could face the fire and THEN
losses i'll the san Jose riot from an am.
buscade attack showed decided courage
under trying circumstances.
In this street fight seven officers. in
Guiding the lieutenant in charge, were
severely wounded. One died yesterday
and several others are scarcely expected to
recover. -Four officers were slightly wound
ed outside the San Jose dance hall. An
other patrolman was killed yesterday al
ternoon while on duty in a different sec
ton of the slums.
1t is believed that the attack on the
police was inspired by certain notorious
criminals known as Nanigos, who have
| recently been repatriated from Spanish
prisons, but whatever the cause, the as
sault Is accepted here as showing the
need OF prompt curtaihnent of the priv
| ilege OF carrying arms and the enforce
ment by some examples OF severity OF u
more wholesome respect for the police.
