GOMEZ SATISFIED.

Disposal of Cuban Arms Proposed by
Brooke Meets His Approval.
HAVANA, May 24.-The Cuban arms
question is apparently nearing COM
plete and rapid settlement. The pay
ment of the troops, according to the
present programme, will begin next Sat-
urday in this city.
During the day Governor General
Brooke and General Maxine Gomez
had what both consider final inter-
view on the question Of surrendering
the arms. The Cuban chief. on Gen.
eral Brooke's invitation, called at head
quarters in Ell Vedado and the two gen.
erals went over the pay order which was
signed by the governor general on Sat
urday but not published. Every word
and phrase were re-examined and
nothing was changed. At the end Of
two hours and half devoted to the ex-
animation General Gomez said he was
entirely satisfied and felt convinced
that the order met all the objections
which had been raised, not only by
himself but by those outside his coun-
ellis. The text of the article disposing
of the arms is as follows:
Disposition of the Arms.
''The arms and equipments of the
Cuban soldiers will be turned over to
the civil governors OF to the alcaldes of
the municipalities either at the place Of
residence of the soldiers or the place Of
payment to the United States officers in
charge. Said civil governors and alcal.
des are hereby charged with the proper
storage and care of the same until they
can be collected for storage in Cuban
arsenals at Havana and Santiago, as
already arranged.
Receipts will be given to soldiers for
arms turned in and civil governors and
alcaldes will forward to headquarters a
report of the number of arms in their
charge. Where 500 are stored in one
place an ex-Cuban soldier will be en-
ployed as an armorer and shall be paid
for his services by the general govern
ment. The name of such person shall
be sent to headquarters to be placed on
the rolls for the proper and prompt pay
ment for his services"
Many Are Dissatisfied.
Colonel Acea, who was at one time a
member of the staff of the late General
Antonio Maceo, has disbanded his force
of 800 men, who had been stationed
near Alquisar, province of Pinar del
Rio, the men going quietly to their
arms, resolved neither to accept the
money of the United States nor to
await longer in condition of suspense.
A meeting of the Cuban chiefs in the
Occident or western provinces has been
called to consider the situation and will
probably decide to adopt the same
course. The staff officers and the gen.
erals who composed the late military
assembly still say they do not want
money and will not surrender their
arms, but their assertions are not re-
garded as especially significant Gen.
eral Julio Sanguilly said:
"Our officers and men realize the i'm
possibility of resisting the Americans if
a resort to force should be had, but they
earnestly wish to retain the arms which
are rightfully theirs"

London. Oct. 19.-Natal claims a

the beleaguered harrison at Mafeking.
The combined advance OF the Boer
forces on the positions held by the
British general commanding in Natal,
Sir George Stewart White. has already
occasioned a she'p affair OF outposts,
which possibly has since developed into
a pitched battle.
The Beers. according TO the latest in

ever. their movements are only a part
OF a general plan TO isolate both Lady
smith and Glencoe from the south.
The simultaneous Boer movements
from Acton Homes from the west and
from R0rkes drift and Helpmakara
from the east may indicate a projected
attack upon the railway below colenso.
