CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Qnd) says:
TT seems 10 us that the South is sure of
her future, and. if not misled by dema-
gogues who try TO teach her that citizens
of the North are her natural enemies she
will soon show that measure of prosperity
justified by her own great natural re-
sources. And the South is not going to be
misled. The majority of people in what
were the slave states before the war are
In favor of trade expansion, and they are
learning every day that the policy which
points out new markets is the po'icy
which makes good times"

who has been missing since the tragedy
at Rochester, and whose revolver In the
hands of Lizzie Proyinchia it was that
killed Annie Cox. spent last night In
this city.
Paquetted disappeared from Somers-
worth ON the day Of the tragedy at 2och-

from Haverhili. Mass, and took his de-
parture this morning, with the announced
Intention, of returning TO Somersworth to

He seemed very mucn worried while
here, and did not sleep at all last night.
He was the guest OF his sister, Mrs. a..
Hercule Beauohene, 80 Merrimac street,
the proprietor of a boarding house and q
woman in comfortable circumstances.
Friends of Mrs. Beauchene had kept
the news from her concerning the Cox
murder, consequently she was entirely
ignorant of what had transpired until
told by her brother last night His story
was that Mrs. Provinchia and her sister
in law and himself were having drink
ing bout on Tuesday In Great Falls hotel.

from the effects of the stimulants While
asleep, the Provinchia woman helped her
self to his revolver, and also went to the
trouble of secre ting his billy. He came
to his senses at four O'Clock In the after
noon, and he was not long In learning
that the Provinchia woman had commit
ted a murder, and that his revolver had
been used to accomplish the deed.
Shame drove him from the place and

Havana, February 3.-Mr Robert p.
Porter. before sailing for Miami, made the
following statement to the correspondent
Of the Associated Press:
"while the situation here has been i'm
proved and simpliied by the declaration
Of General Gomez that he will immedi.
ately take part In the psciflcation Of
Cuba, the advantage thus gained should
be followed up by the American authori-
ties. The entire policing of the island
should be done by the Cubans themselves.
The real police work is, in fact, now in
the hands of the Cuban soldiers; and
law and order are we'll maintained. There
should not be moments delay In the
organization and equipment of these civil
guards.
1.-The bulk Of the American soldiers
must be taken out OF Cuba by April
There Is really no necessity for more than
two regiments In each province to serve
as background Of support for the Cuban
police. In giving the best Of these people
employment all the more viii be left Of
the relief fund for those who must be
helped back to the land.
1.-The feeling Of distrust between the
Cubans and the Americans has been
temporarily checked by the message OF
General Gomez to President Mckinley
and the Presidents reply through Secre-
tary Hay. IL the younger military eie-
ments of both armies will now get to-
gether and complete the several schemes
Tor policing pre- vinces which at this mo-
ment are awaiting crystalization the
problem will be solved. Dslay In this
work will be- fatal. II such men as Gem
Clara province, General May la Rodriguez
Of the province OF Pinar del Rio. Gen.
eTal Pedro Betancourt Of Matanzas prov
.nce and others whom l know personally
will assure President Mex and Gov
ernor General Brooke that law and order
will be main tained. their pledge will be
carried out ut any cost.
There is too much disposition to dis
ouss minor details. There Is too much
hesitancy in bringing matters to head.
In the province Of santa Clara Monta-
gudo's admirable policing plan has been
already put In operation, and IL Is one,
a. General Leonard Wood told me yester-
day, which is along Fight lines. The
entire police work in that provinoe-so

me--has been done by Cubans since the
evacuation.
why not take up at once and dispose
OF this matterP Things must be kept
moving In Cuba or summer Will oveItake
us with too many troops here. Our sold
iers themselves fully realize the situation.
They frankly say that their chief occupa-
ton is TO guard each other while their
chiefs in Warrington, Havana and Rem
sdios are exchanging condolences. The
younger officers on both sides should
come together and evolve preliminary
policing plans and get these into work
ing order without delay. Once this Is
we'll done, matters will take care of them
selves In Cuba. AT least, that is my
opinion.

DON'T AGREE WITH GOMEZ.
Prominent Cubans Say He Has No
Power to Disband Insurgent Army.

Power to Disband Insurgent Army.
Havana, February 3.-Among the Gu
ban traders who have given expression
to their views on the subject 1t Is asserted
that General Gomez was not authorized
to agree to disbandment OF the army
without consulting the Cuban assembly
and obtaining its permission. Indeed
when the report arrived that General
Gomez had accepted Mr.. Porter's propo-
sition on behalf OF President Mckinley,
many doubted it, refusing to believe that
be would not in this fashion. A promi-
nent Cuban said this afternoon;
'If the news is true, the Cuban assem-
bly, will have grounds for proceeding
against General Gomez. The idea of So
OOO, 700 US gift from the United States
TO the Cuban soldiers Is repugnant and
wounds the pride of Cubans."
A number OF interviews obtained today
with prominent Cuban generals will go
to show the feeling In the higher mill
tary circles. General Mayia Rodriguez.

tauzas and santa Clara. and second in
command In the Cuban army, said:

would take this resolution regarding a
matter of such Importance rs the pay

United States will fulfil its promises to
give Cuba her liberty. think the Cuban
army should continue to aid In preserv-

has been fulfilled and until certain i'm
