testified that Representative Sylvester

the vote by which the McCarreH bill
had been postponed by the house until

MAtaafa's Government Of samoa II
Far from Being Satisfactory.


Apia, Samoa, via San Francisco.
March 9.--Four weeks have elapsed
since the last mail dispatches left here
for San Francisco concerning the out
break of civil war between the adher-
ents of Tanus Malietoa and those of
Mataafa. During this time Samoa has
been free from any active warfare. The
government under Mataafa has not
been success; II has estranged the
feelings of many of its own support
ers by the deportation of the Malietoa
chiefs and the Punishment from Apia
OF all male Samoan adults who were on
Malietoa's side. All Malietoa's adher-
ents who were not deported have been
fined.
The German consul has received a
cable from Germany directing him to
recognize the authority of Chief JUS
tice Chambers and to withdraw from
the stand he and DR.. Raffel had taken
in regard to the supreme court. This
news discouraged Mataafa and in ad-
dition the United States consul wrote
him to the effect that the United States
has not recognized Mataafa as king.
San Francisco, March 9.-Dr. John
Raffel, late president of the municipal
council of Apia, arrived here Wednes-
day on the steamer Alameda. DR.. Raf-
fel said that when he left Samoa
everything was tranquil and that the
Mataafa government was recognized as
the provisional government by the
three leading powers, and it had the
support of 80 per cent. of the native
population and majority of the for
eign population.

A PLUNGE TO DEATH.
Diver Donaldson Makes His Last Leap
In the Presence of 1900 Spectators.

New York, March 9.-Thomas Dom
aldson, of Bath Beach, L. l., known
the world over as champion high
diver, dove from the roof of Madison
Square Garden, distance of IS feet,
Wednesday with probably fatal results.
Donaldson has been the star attraction
at the sportsmen's show now running
in the garden. He has been making
two dives daily. The tank is less than
eight feet deep and on two or three
former occasions Donaldson came out
of the water with hemorrhages from
the nose and ears. Harry Cornish has
charge of the water sports, and gave
Donaldson the signal to dive.
Three thousand persons saw the
diver make the plunge. He shot
straight downwards, but it was plain
before he had got half the distance
that he had lost control of his body.
He struck the water head first and
failed to come up. Small circles of
blood came bubbling up from the
bottom and Harry Reeder, the amateur
champion swimmer, plunged into the
water and brought Donaldson to the
surface. He was apparently dead.
He has fractured skull, with COM
preston of the brain, and the left side
of his face is crushed in. The sur
geons at the hospital say his death is a
question Of hours. He was As years of

passage on the transport Berlin for
New York City. where it will be mus
tered out. This is the beginning OF a
general movement for the muster out
of all the volunteer troops stationed in
Cuba, and indicates that the admins
tration believes that the time has come
when it can safely reduce its military
forces in Cuba. T~le fact that the
rainy season is not far off is potent
reason for the early recall of the vol
uhteer troops in Cuba.
The homeward movement will have
to be gradual because of the limited
transportation facilities at the disposal
of the war department. The various
regiments will be brought home, how
ever, as rapidly as the available troop
ships can make trips between the island
and various ports in the United States
selected for their Decentralization.
There are now about $4,000 volun-
teers in Cuba, and their withdrawal
will leave about $4,000 regular troops
there for the enforcement of the pol
icy of the administration.

ment as to its attitude. In response il
is understood that Secretary Hay, as
well as the president, made 1t clear
that the United States would pursue
the same course as toward the Russian,
British and German occupation of Chi
nese ports, namely, disinterested neu-
trality.
The exchanges have been verbal and
rather informal and have given occa-
sion to erroneous publications to the
effect that Italy had asked the United
States to support her demands on
China and that this government in
pointed note from Secretary Hay had
refused. 1t is stated in an eminent
and authoritative quarter that Italy
had made no such request for Ameri-
can support, and that there was no de-
clination from this government. The
circumstances of the negotiations are
as follows:
When Italy determined to seek a
port on the Chinese coast she addressed
those powers having large interests in
China, notifying them Of her purposes.
Owing to the good will between Italy
and this country, as we'll as the Ameri-
can interests in China, a notification
was presented to the state department
here. While Italy is said to have had
no desire, through this notification, to
enlist the support Of the United States.
she was desirous of pursuing the usual
diplomatic course when move of this
character is contemplated, namely,
learn whether the United States would
be either first favorable, second disin'
terested, third opposed.
In short, before proceeding Italy de-
sired to know what attitude the United
States would take as to the Italian de.
mand on China. The reply of Secretary
Hay, which is said to have been verbal,
was in response to this notification
from the italian authorities. In this
reply the president is said to have
given his personal concurrence. In
substance 1t was an announcement that
the United States would in no way
change the attitude 1t had maintained
thus far when Great Britain, Germany
and Russia made advances toward
China, but would continue to observe
a position of disinterestedness.

GOMEZ is lMPEACHED.
Cuban Military Assembly Declares
that the Old General Il DePOsed from
Command OF the Army.


Havana, March 12.-The Cuban mill.
tary assembly on Saturday impeached
Maxine Gomez and removed him from
his command as general-in-chief Of the
Cuban army, the first ballot taken re-
sulting in 26 votes being cast in sup
port of the motion to impeach and
remove Gomez against in opposition,
Gomez's only supporters were Cespedes
and Nunez. The original motion, which
was introduced by Manuel Sanguilly-
provided for the abolition of the grade
of general-in-chief, but an amendment
was offered by Aguerro, which read "to
abolish the grade of general-in-chief
and to remove Gomez for failure in his
military duties and disobedience to the
assembly"
Aguerro declared that Gomez was
insubordinate and should be punished
and Sanguilly insinuated that Conner
was traitor to Cuba. Much passion
was evident in the speeches, in some
of which Gomez was declared to have
been delinquent in his duty and DISC
;bedient because he had accepted the
proposition of II. p. Porter, Presi.
dent McKinley's special emissary, with.
out consulting the assembly, because
he had taken upon himself the plans
for the payment and disarming Of the
Cuban troops independent of the as
.sembly, and because he had declared
TO the assembly that he would OBJ
serve its rulings in so far as he con.
sidered them beneficial to Cuba. The
assembly again declared that the $S,-
100000 was insufficient and it has not
yet accepted the proposition.
Gomez received at Molinas a message
announcing the assembly's decision,
He answered calmly: "All right. en-.
joy the situation" He then came to
Havana.
The assembly is being strongly cen
sured by Cubans on all sides and there
were popular demonstrations Sunday
in favor of the deposed commander,
the crowd shouting "long live Gomez"
and death to the assembly" Gomez
during the day received numerous visi-
tors, all of whom assured him of their
affection and loyalty and that the dec
'larations by the assembly on whatever
subject, could not represent even the
army,

GLASS PAvEMENTs.
New Use to which Ii is Being Put in
LyOns-LumfnOus Palace for Paris.

Consul John c. Covert has written
from Lyons to the state department an
interesting letter upon the new uses
of glass. In it he tells of pavements Of
ceramic stone or devitrified glass which
have been laid on principal street thor
oughfares in Lyons, and which under
heavy and continuous traffic for several
months have shown no greater deteri-
Grafton than marks the similar life OF
stone payements. He says glass Is be-
ing made into material known as
ceramo-crystal. and is being widely
used for buildings and interior deco
rations, much as cut stone. The new
material possesses all the intrinsic
qualities, physical and chemical, OF
glass, except the transparency, and at
the same time Is made to resist crush
Ang, frost. heavy shocks and to stand
usage. Aspropo' Ion TO erect glass
house, or luminous palace, at the Paris
exposition next year will likely be
pushed, and the building will present
completely the possibilities of glass as
q structural material.
