Gomez Is Disguised.

Havana, May l6.-General Gomez in
formed General Brooke that he could no
longer act as representative of the Gu
ban army in the distribution of the 49,
100000 appropriated for the payment OF
the Cuban troops.
General Gomez adds that he had ar
rived at this decision with great reluc-
lance and the most friendly feeling to-
ward General Brooke personally and of
ficially, but he felt he could no longer
represent the Cuban army because a cabal,
composed of many of the subordinate COM
manders existed to oppose and, if possible,
defeat the plans for partitioning the
money.

another TERRIBLE WRECK
TWENTY-EIGHT HAVE DIED.
Worst Wreck in Pennsylvania-A Very
Large Number Wounded-Wreck Is "A
Mystery-Nany Prominent Men in it
Only One Woman Killed.

Reading, Pa, May l4.-The wreck
which occurred on the Philadelphia &
Reading, six miles south OF here, was
probably the worst that has ever occurred
in this state. Twenty-eight dead and so
injured, some so badly that they may not
recover, is the awful result of the acct
dent. The cause OF the disaster is still
involved in mystery and officials of the
road are investigating IN order to place
the blame. The man in the signal tower
at Exeter station claims to have had the
signals propsriy displayed.
In statement today Superintendent
Swigard of the Reading Railway said the
prime cause of the accident was a block
of freight cars on the track which were
taking a siding at Birdsboro and which
compelled the express to stop at Exeter.
1t is not now known yet whether sig
nal man was sent back to notify the spe-
cial or second section.
Many prominent men were passengers
on the forward train, among them Sena-
tor Penrose, Colonel Henry d. Paxon of
Philadelphia, General John w. Schall of
Nonistown and Colonel George Schall,
the generals brother, who was killed. On
the second train were some 20 veterans
of Hartranft's Fifty-frst regiment, which
he commanded during the civil war and
a company of the Seventh Pennsylvania
infantry, National Guard, a few of whom
were injured.
A strange feature of the disaster was
the fact that not one woman was killed
and only one was injured. Norristown
is in mourning, as the greater number Of
dead and injured were residents of that
place.
In the afternoon Coroner w. II. Roth
ermel empanelled jury and visiting the
different morgues they viewed the bodies.
The jury adjourned to assemble at the
call of the coroner.
When asked when he would hold the
inquest Coroner Rothermel replied that
he thought it would be Tuesday afternoon,
but could not state definitely. They left
Reading on special train at l p. m. and
viewed the scene of the wre,k.
Superintendent Wilson of the main line
when asked if it was not a mistake for
train to back into a station, said: 81
think the train should have been left
where it stopped, but can not speak of
the cause until the matter is thoroughly
investigated"

AT present from $50 to 200 men are at
work in the mines ON Canyon creek. They
are all union men, and not one of them has
taken the permit demanded by authori-
ties. Perhaps a dozen men in the Canyon
creek camps have taken out these permits
and signiied their willingness to renounce
the union; but these men are not permit
ted to work by the union miners.
Thursday is the date fixed on which all
men working under ground will be COM
PEELED to show these permits or quit work.
As the union men declare they will pay
no attention to the order there seems to
be no doubt that on that date the mines
will be closed down and placed under
guard by the soldiers. Nor can any man
predict when they will resume work
again.

CUBANS LOOKING FOR WAR
SOLDIERS HOLD THEIR ARMS
A Correspondent Says the Situation Is
Alarming Might Have war-Generals
Gomez and Brooke Said to have words
Refuse the Money offered.

New York, May l6.-A Havana CORE
spondent telegraphs as follows:
The situation has become most alarm
ing. To all appearances the Cubans are
about to make armed manifestations
against the United States and its mode OF
governing the island, although the conser-
vatve element still hopes for peaceful ar
rangements.
This state of fairs, which was brought
abruptly to a head last Saturday by a
partial quarrel between General Gomez
and General Brooke, has been forming for
the last two monh s.
The first move has been made by the
army. 1t will probably be supported by
many Cubans. The army, which is real y
represented although many dispute his
authority by Gomez, is particularly
against Brooke and his policy. The sol
diers declare they have been miserably
fooled and trapped by the Americans.
They look upon the exchange OF a gun for
$75 as an ignominious transaction for
them, as they have not been defeated by
the Americans, and consequently they re-
fuse to exchange.
Brooke Reports No Trouble.
Washington, May l6.-General Brooke
has not reported to the war department
any serious situation in Cuba, and it is
not believed in the department that any
alarm need be felt regarding the condition
of affairs.
The communications General Brooke has
made to the war department regarding the
situation are not given to the public, but
the officials understand the source of the
present trouble is that the generals of the
Cuban army are disappointed because they
are not likely to realize as much out of
the money appropriated for the army as
they think they should.
One thing is assured beyond all other
considerations: the United States will re-
main for the present in absolute control
of the island, and the orders of the officers
in command will be sustained by the gov
eminent at Washington.

TO ARRANGE FOR PEACE.
AGUINALD0 SENDS EMISSARIES.
For that Definite Purpose-wiu be no,
Armistice - General Otis win Press
the MISUNDERSTANDING and Lawton
have the Insurgents Between Them.

New York, May ia special from
Washington says:
A satisfactory conclusion is expected by
the administration from the conference
which will be held by the American
Philippine commission with the Philip
pine commission Aguinaldo proposes to.
send to Manila.
In his dispatch to the war department.
General Otis announced that Aguinaldo
had sent messenger to him expressing a
wish to send the commission ito arrange
terms of peace"
The administration officials express the.
opinion that this commission will submit
to President Schurman and his associates
the answer of Aguinaldo to the PROPOSE
tons made by the American commission
to Colonel Argueles, Aguinaldo's emissary,.
regarding the character of the terms which
would be given the Filipinos and which
Argueles declared was satisfactory.
1t is probably apparent to the Filipinos
that there was nothing to be gained by
conducting negotiations for the purpose.
OF obtaining temporary cessation of hos
tilities. General Otis will not grant an
aimistice and he has shown that he does.
not propose to stop fighting, no matter
how many peace emissaries Aguinaldo will
send to Manila, unless they agree to I'M
conditional surrender
Otis Goes Right Ahead
In his dispatch General Otis shows. de-
spite the fact that Ao1,inaldo stotos HE
purpose to send commission to arrange
peace, he is making preparations to con-
tinue military operations.
1t is evident to the officials that Otis.
has found it necessary to change. his
plans. He has been making preparations,
to attack Bacolor, where 5000 insurgents.
are believed to be camped, and it is pre-.
sumed that the movements reported to-
day still have that point as their object.
General Lawton is making excellent pro-
gress In his northward march and the dis
patch of Major Kobbe with 1900 men up-
the Rio Grande, supported by gunboats-
and canoes, is with the purpose of enab-
ling Lawton to cross the Rio Grande with
out molestation by the enemy. The plan,
apparently contemplates the rapid swing
ing of Lawton in the west, General Mac
Arthur to remain at San Fernando be-
tween the insurgents at Bacolor and those.
at Mexico, and Kobbe is to take station,
so as to prevent them from crossing the
Rio Grande. Macarthur is also needed at
his present point to protect communica--
ton with Manila.

General Pillar VIII Surrender.

Manila, May l6.-The insurgent gen
eral Gregoris Del Pillar believes he has
been deserted by the Filipino government
and desires to surrender if he can secure
what he regards as honorable terms from
the Americans.
The insurgent hospital near San Isl
doro is reported to be overwhelmed with
wounded. General Pillars main subsist-
ence depot is five miles in front OF Law
ton.
The indignation of the natives COM
PEELED the insurgent generals to counter
mand their orders to burn the town as
they retreated. The American policy OF
not destroying property is causing a re-
vulsion of feeling in our favor. The ma
tives are returning through the American
lines to their homes.
