GOMEZ IN A NEW ROLE.

Turns AgitatOr.

Havana, April S.-The Cuban mill.
tary assembly being dead, General
Gomez will take up his programme of
soldfying the Cuban people into a
party that shall without ceasing, urge
the United States to Withdraw from
the island. His purpose is to make
the people seem to have but one emo
ton, one desre-the thought Of indie.
pendence and absolute separation from
the United States.
General Gomez considers the disso.
luton Of the assembly as his personal
achiev sment, aided by the military ad-
ministration here and countenanced at
Washington. He believes that he
emerged from the controversy with the
assembly stronger than ever with the
better classes. His theory is that the
Cubans, who before thought him mere.
~ an adroit guerrilla chief, are now
prepared to regard him as a political
leader. and that few days more prob
ably will see him in name general-in.

a comprehensive scheme has been
adopted by the navy department un.
der which coaling stations will be
placed at strategic points in the West

1t is proposed to establish coalins

tween Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands; at Mayaguez, which lies on
the western shore OF Porto Rico and
controls the Mona passage, and at
Guantanamo on the southern side OF
Cuba. or at Nipe bay on the northern
coast, either Of which controls the
Windward passage. Coal sheds and
piers are already in the course of con-
struction at Dry Tortugas, which will
enable fleet operating from that point
to prevent an enemy from entering
either through the Yucatan or Bahama
channel.

The first Sunday of last September q

up the Nile, and anchored opposite a
grove of tall palms and ruined palace
in Khartum. From the boats disem.
parked a detachment of every corps
white, black or yellow-which had
taken part in the battle of Omdurman,
by which the Soudan was recovered to
Egypt. The troops formed before the
palace in three sides of rectangle,
with Gen. Kitchener, his officers and
staff in the open space. After fourteen
years the English had come to the place
of Gordon's death to offer him the
funeral honors Of his race. In the
book, with Kitchener to Khartum,"
G. w. Stevens recounts the scene:

cannon roared; God Save the Queen"
was voiced in melody by the guards
band, and sirdar and private stood at
attention, every hand at helmet-peak
in salute. At the same instant the
Egyptian flag was given to the breeze.
Again the cannon broke the silence
and the SOudanese band played the
Khedivian hymn. Attention.! Three
cheers for the Queen" cried the sirdar.

DYING OF STARVATION
People of Porto Rico in a De.
plorable Condition.
THE SITUATION is DESPERATE
May Result II Measures OF
Relief Are Long Delayed
Coffee Crop short.

New York. April lO.-The Herald
says Brigadier-G General Stone will go
to Washington tomorrow, where he will
call the attention OF the president to
the starvation and distress in Porto
Rico. He thinks that the desperate
state of the people may lead to insur-
rection if relief is not forthcoming.
He has just returned from a journey OF
10 days through the interior OF the
island.
The general was attached to the de.
partment of agriculture before the
war. and during hOstilities he was in
Porto Rico as a member of General
Miles staff. This last trip was made
with party OF capitalists and railroad
men. He was also invited by Major
General Henry to give advice concern
ing the construction Of roads through
the islands.
People are dying of starvation all
through the interior" said General
Stone. "In the district of Aguas
Banas there were may deaths. The
Judge in the district of Generic showed
me book in which he had recorded
the pames OF many who died for lack
OF food. General Grant reported 80
deaths from starvation in one district.
saw hundreds Of natives emaciated
and weak. When | left Porto Rico
there were 10000 persons there who
had had neither bread nor meat for
two weeks.
"This state of affairs is largely due
to the short coffee crop and the ruinous
competition OF Brazil. Porto Rican
coffee is selling at from to cents at
seaports. and the transportation takes
nearly all Of this sum. Major General
Henry is issuing rations and is doing
everything in his power to alleviate
the distress.
at is difficult, however, to reach
the interior. The supplies are sent to
military posts and distributed as we'll
as possible. Still Major-General Henry
cannot go on in this way. His money.

soon. He cannot make this people an
object OF charity. He has found work
for at least 5000 men on the road.
building. With good roads and
means of getting out OF the interior
with fruits and vegetables. something
can be done to develop the leland.
Another element contributing to
the distress Of the Porto Ricans is the
fact that the United States continues
to levy duty upon them. They had
free trade with Spain, which is now
cut off. Yet with all their sufferings,
the Porto Ricans speak with pride az
belonging to the United States. They
do not expect Porto Rico to become
state.

LOST IN THE UMPQUA.
Hollister ID. McGuire and Senator Reed
Drowned.

HO1ltster ID. Mcclure and Senator Reed
Drowned.
Roseburg, Or, April l1.-Hollister
d. Mcclure, fish commissioner of Ore
gon. and A. w. Reed, state senator
from Douglas county, were drowned in
the North Umpqua river, opposite
burg, this morning. Messrs. Reed
and McGuire, accompanied by w. +.
Hubbard, who has charge of the Clack-
amas hatchery, went down the North
UmpOua to locate site for a hatchery,
intending to return this evening.
McGuire, Reed and Hubbard went by
freight train to Winchester, where
they boarded small boat for the juno
tion of the rivers, six miles below
RosebuIg.
They were warned by people living
in the vicinity, who were acquainted
with the river. that it was very dan
gerous, especially to those not &C.
quainted with its rapids and whirl
poole. but they were old boatmen, and
expressed no doubt OF their ability to
take care OF themselves. The river for
three or four miles above its junction
with the South Umpqua is succession
of rapids and whirlpools, and at places,
especially at this time of year, is both
Ceep and dangerous. After the party
had gone considerable distance down
the river, having safely passed through
two or three of the rapids. rowlock
was broken. thus rendering the boat
practically manageable. They at
tempted to work their way to shore
with one oar, and approached so near
that Senator Reed grasped the branch
OF an overhanging tree, but the current
was SO swift that the boat was being
drawn under water. and he released his
hold. The current then shot the boat
rapidly out into the stream, where it
was swamped and upset. Mcclure
and Hubbard struck out for shore.
Hubbard reports that Mcclure was
swimming ahead of him and appeared
to be swimming easily. When Hub.
bard reached the shore, and turned to
look for his companions, Mcclure had
disappeared, and Reed had climbed
onto the boat. which was rapidly drift.
ing down stream, and he saw him no
more. AS Senator Reed could not
swim, he was probably washed from
his insecure position and sank to rise
no more.

Lawton and King Send an ExPe"'''o"
Of Fifteen Hundred Picked Men
to Take Santa Cruz.

Manila, April 1l.-At nighfall last
night. Generals Lawton and King
launched an expedition of three gum
boats. with 1900 picked men IN canoes
in tow of the gunboats. The object OF
the expedition is to cross the lake, cap
tur. Santa Cruz and sweep the country
to the south.
The expedition, which EN- barked
at San Pedro Macati, consists OF eight
com panies Of the Fourteenth infantry,
three companies of the Fourth cavalry,
four companies Of the North Dakota
volunteers, four companies OF the Idaho
volunteers. two mountain guns and 200
sharpshooterh of the Fourteenth in
fantry.
At the mouth of the Pasig river the
men will be transferred from the
canoes to the three gunboats, Laguna
de Bay, Cesto and Napinda. Santa
Cruz, the objective point Of the expe-
dition, is at the extreme end OF the
lake.
The withdrawal of the 18 companies
constituting the expeditionary force
made gap in the line from the beach
to Culiculi, just southwest OF San
Pedro Macati. which was subsequently
filled by the Fourth regular infantry.
The rebels on the extreme right had
evidently been informed of the with
drawal OF the troops. and they attempt
ed to sneak through after nightfall, but
were met with warm reception, and
fell back in disorder on discovering
that the line was still intact.

A breach of promise suit for two
weeks occupied public attention in one
OF our large cities. The defendant
who was recently married, was sued
by young woman who asserted that
he was betrothed to her. The jury hav-
ing awarded the plaintiff large sum,
the case is said to be closed. Is II
closed? The affairs Of not only the
principals in the suit, but those of the
innocent young wife and the other
members of three families have been
dragged through the courts and have
become the subject Of public jest and
comment. All their lives the faint OF
this suit will follow the actors in it. II
is not pleasant theme, but the fire.
Quency of these legal trials calls for
plain speaking. Engagements formed
hastily, without mutual respect and .es
teen, and which are not intended to be
fulfilled, are but the first step In a
series Of degradations from which
character can never wholly wipe the
stain.
