GOMEZ DENIES REPORT.
Says to Pretend That He Is Annexa-
 tIonist Is Madness.

Havana, August 5.--General Maxlnon Gomez has written to his friend, General Vega, regarding the reports. that he had described himself and Senor Estrada Pal ma as annexationists. After remarking that he had come upon reference to the matter in atlocal paper in Puerto Princi- pc, he said:
 'To pretend that Senor Palma and I are annexationists is madness. The best way to carry out plan is to speak much of 1t. For this reason 1t appears that many Cubans desire annexation and look to most of the prominent survivors of the revolution to support 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 to blame as 1t had fired the last cartridge in de- fense of absolute independence"
 Senor Giberga recently refused to sub scribe to a fund being raised in the con- vention in aid of the mother of Martl, declaring that Marti was the evil genius of Cuba and that his memory would be execrated by history.
 Senor Cisneros urged the convention to exact an apology from Senor Giberga, who declares that he will not return to his seat in the convention until the mat ter is settled and that he will publish a manifesto to the country giving his req sons for thinking as he does of Martl.

CIGARMAKERS' STRIKE.
Position of Union and Manufacturers
 Is Now Critical.

Atlanta. August 5.-A special to the Journal from Tampa, Fla. says:
 The situation in the cigarmakers' strike remains critical The positions of the unions and the manufacturers remain unchanged, but 1t Is feared that the per- sonal feeling of the public engendered against the strikers will cause an out break soon or later. Boycotts were today placed on many business concerns because they were reported to be friend ly to certan people who are said to op- pose La Resistencia Union. Others who are friendly but not engaged in business were followed through the streets on their every appearance by a taunting and jeering crowd In several instances col lisons were narrowly averted. It was said at the headquarters of the interna- tional union today that Samuel Gompers. president of the Federation of Labor will be here in day or two.

EMPEROR WILLIAM
 WAS SCARCELY PREPARED

Bremen, August 6.-The Nord Deutsche Allegemine Zeitung, in special edition announcing the death of the Dowager Empress says:
 "Emperor William was scarcely prepar- ed for such a sudden termination of the illness"
 In the course of an euiogy on her do- nestle virtues mental attachments and solicitude for the public welfare, the Journal says:
 'The most brilliant earthly fortune and the most profound human suffering were alike not unknown to her. In the great ness of soul. with which she bore an in curable malady. she showed herself true companion of the German Emperor who, by his sufferings and his deeds will ever remain dear to the hearts of our people By his side she now sleeps and her name will endure among the names of the great princesses who have adorned the throne of the Hohenzollerns."

LEEcHBURG AND WELLsvILLE
 ARE THE IMPORTANT POINTS

Pittsburg, Pa, August 5.-The most im- portant strike points tonight seem to be Leechburg and Wellsville, with McKees- port possible trouble center. From Leechburg this telegram was received;
 At o'clock this afternoon the Hyde Park mill, which has been idle since the first of this year, was started. At 3:45 a train arrived at Hyde Park, coming from Saltsburg, Vandergrift and Apollo. The train stopped at the works and fifty-five men, clad in working garb and carrying dinner buckets, left the train and hurried into the works There was no excitement and the mill owners and managers tonight claim they now have enough men in the mill to operate all of the five plants Sen tinels are out and no one is allowed to get into the mill without a pass word This afternoon late six millmen from Leech- burg sauntered down toward the mill, passed by the guards and walked into the mills. where tonight they are at work. This make sixty-one men now employed at the works
 The Amalgamated men, however, are on the ground. making desperate efforts to keep all union men out.
 From Wellsville, O., the following re- port is made:
 '~rhe last four of the striking steel workers who were arrested, charged with riot, were released from jail late this afternoon upon bail. There are warrants yet in the hands of the police for the strikers, which have not yet been served. The officers, for some reason, seem to be afraid to serve the warrants. Henry B. Henderson, potter, for whom the police have a warrant, mas been trying to get himself in the way of the officers all day to have them arrs>t him, but they will not do 1t for the reason that Hen derson himself Is backed by the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters and the officers fear the vengeance of the potters. once they are aroused. as they would be if one of their number were put under arrest"

The Sham Figne Terminates and Ger
 many Was Declared Winner.

London, August 5.-The naval maneu- vers were suddenly terminated this after noon by orders from the admiralty and the enemy's fleet was declared to be the vic tor. The final results have not yet been given out, but the defenders are known to have lost a dozen cruisers. two gunboats and eight torpedo boat destroyers. The en- emy lost only three cruisers, three to- pedo boat destroyers and three torpedo boats, while they captured an endless number of merchant marine. The result is taken to be practical confirmation Of the justness of the criticism to which the admiralty has recently been subjected.

Ward Discusses Strike.

Youngstown, O., August 5.-John F. Ward, vice president of the Amalgamated Association and a member of the execu- tive committee, returned from New York today Regarding the situation in strike circles he said:
 I've went to New York last Saturday fully determined to make settlement Of the strike, but Messrs. J. F. Morgan and MT. Schwab refused to even listen to our proposals and would not permit them to be read through. MT. Schwab glanced over 1t, but did not read it through, and said what we had to do was to sign his proposition; then we could talk after wards.
 While Mir. Morgan was cool and col lected. he acted as if he did not care to have us talk or ask questions. I think, however, that If we had only MT. Morgan to deal with the strike would soon be set tied"
