General Maxine Gomez Writes His
 Views to General Vega.

Havana, August 5-General Maximo Gomez has written to his friend, Gen. eral Vega, regarding the reports that he had described himself and Senor Estrada Palma as annexationists. Af- ter remarking that he had come upon reference to the matter in local pa per, in Puerto Principe. he said:
 ITO pretend that Senor Palma and are annexationists is madness. The best way to carry out ia plan is to speak much of it. For this reason it appears that many Cubans desire an- nexation and look to most of the prom inent chiefs of the revolution to sup port the movement. but they have tried to convert to the doctrine some very old heretics.
 The Platt law solved the question The constitutional convention was not to blame as it had fired the last cart ridge in defense of absolute indepen- dence."
 Senor Giberga recently refused to subscribe to a fund being raised in the convention in aid of the mother of Marti, declaring that Marti was the | evil genius of Cuba and that his mem ory would be eXecrated in history.
 Senor Cisneros urged the convention to exact an apology from Senor Giber- ga and declares that he will not return to his seat in the convention until the matter is settled and that he will pub Ilish manifesto to the country giving | his reasons for thinking as he does of | Marti.

 Details of Accident.
 Miss Carrie Jones was about P years old. She had been afflicted for some years with periodical attacks of some nervous trouble. Ordinarily her mind was perfectly clear. During the last year she had been thought to be im- proving in health. When, however, one of her nervous attacks came ton, she was usually seized with a desire to run. At such times she was difficult to restrain, but the family and spe- cial servant were constantly on the alert to hold her quiet until the attack passed off. H.
 Yesterday morning after the family had breakfast, the former dovernor seated himself on the gallery to his residence, which fronts on Adams Street. His daughter, Miss Carrie, went on the gallery and remarked to her father that she would get him a flower. She walked out into the yard. when suddenly one of her nervous at
 
 tacks came upon her. She began run ming immediately. There is no fence in front of the residence which is very near the sidewalk. From the front steps to the street car line on Hull Street is hardly twenty-five yards. In that di- rection she ran rapidly. ~.. ~

The motorman says he was so badly frightened that he has but hazy recollection of the accident. He does not remember whether he turned off the current or not. From the conductors statement 1t is doubtful if he did so.

Jones, Jr., rushed out upon the gal lery and toward his sister, but he was too late. By thls time the car had struck her and was dragging the body Mrs Jones was inside the house at the time of the accident, and the terrible news was broken to her by Governor Jones.
