IT WAS NOT ASECRET
Payments to Gomez Known
to Congress.
HAD SECRETARY ROOTS APPROVAL.
wild Story of One DOdHOn Saying
Money Was Paid as a Bride With
out Foundstion--The Case
Explained.

p WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE off,
cial records show that 5000 was paid
to General Gomez out of Cuban funds
during nine months Of 1899 and 1900
and that he was provided with house.
The charge of Charles M. Dobson, a
newspaper man, that General Gomez
was bribed with $4,000 either to cause
him to withdraw from the presidential
race in favor of the candidate pre-
ferred by Washington Or for the pur-
pose Of keeping his veterans and adj
mirers in line and favorable to the
projects Of the administration is EN-
phatieaIly denied both by Secretary
Root and General Wood. They discred-
1t Dodson, who is reported to be on bis
way to Washington, where, it is said.
he may be given the opportunity to
prove his charge.
At the war department high official
stated the position of the department
in the matter as follows:
1.-THE conditions In Cuba two years
ago were precariOus Not Cuban be-
lieved that the United States govern
ment ever would withdraw from Cuba,
and the half famfshed veterans of the
Cuban army We're in dangerous mood
and clamoring for their pay. General
Gomez was the head and front of their
army and had served the revolutionary
cause as its principal leader without
having received cent Of pay. Gen
eral Wood thought and Secretary Root
thought afterward that General Gomez
was entitled to consideration, to
home which was supplied him and in
which he entertained his comrades and
to an income, which last might be set
down as IL small offset to the money
due Gomez from the Cuban republic.
the matter in the same light wasshown
by the passage by the present Cuban
congress among the very first of its
acts of bill providing a liberal pen
sion for General Gomez. 1t Is believed
that but for this assumption of the
costs Of Gomez's living expenses the
conditions in Cuba might have paral-
leled those in the Philippines. and the
United States government, after fight
ing Spain to secure freedom for the
Cubans. might have been obliged to
turn on them the force of her armies.
1.-THE necessity being present then, in
Secretary Roots view, the only other
point was the legality and propriety of
the payments. He soon satisfied him
self that there was not the slightest
doubt on that score. The military gov
crnor was obliged to assume the re-
sponsibility for his disbursements and
to exercise his discretion. General
Brooke did this and after him General
Wood. and Secretary Root now fully
approves of everything they did. in
GLIDING the payments to Gomez"
It is pointed out at the war depart
mcnt as a curious fact that congress
has been in full possession of the in
formation that Gomez had been receiv-
ing these payments for no less than
two years past. The war department
that far back submitted to congress the
full statement of all expenditures in
Cuba, and included in the list was
statement of the payments to General
Gomez

Seventh Street Bridge Seize1

A more complicated matter than
the Levy Court-Patrick Fahey ia.
NOUS Seventh street bridge would be
hard to find. There has already been
one law suit and the prospects are
that there will be two more before
the matter is finally settled. Some
idea as to the complication can be
gained from the fact thatit has never
been fully determined who now owns
the bridge the Levy Court OF New
Castle County or Contractor Patrick
Fahey. The latest matter Of interest
pertaining to Seventh Street bridge
is that William S. Hilles counsel for
the Edge Moor bridge works has had
the bridge seized for bill which con-
tractor Fahey owed the company for
the iron work on the bridge. Sheriff
Mcdaniel levied on the bridge yesLer-
day.
The Edge Moor Bridge Works
brought action against Mr.. Fahey for
the bill and the case came up in the
Superior Conrt last week. A jury
brought In a verdict in favorof the
bridge works for the entire bill which
amounted to nearly $4,000. 1t was
on this judgment that the bridge was
seized yesterday. The history Of
Seventh street bridge has been most
interesting one.
The contract for the construction
OF the bridge was awarded to Patrick
Fahey in the fall of 1901. 1t was to
be a,3O foot bridge and the contract
price was $25. 900. When the bridge
was completed 1t was found that Mr..
Fahey had only built "a foot bridge
and made charges for extra work,
which made the cost of the bridge
about 100000. The old Levy Court
paid about $1,000 of the above
amount,
When the present Levy Court went
into control there were a number of
discussions over the balance which
Mr. Fahey claimed was due him.
The Levy Court thought that as
Mr.. Fahey had built smaller bridge
that the one contracted and as the
bill was larger than the contract call
ed for 1t was excessive. 20,
The Court held several COME rences
with Mr.. Fahey and offered to COM
promise, but the contractor contInu-
ed to hold out for his entire bill.
This Is how tile matter stands at
present between the Levy Court and
Mr.. Fahey.

Rubber from Greasewood.

The ingenuity of a Yankee in
ventor has devised use for that
humble and unloyely shrub of the
western deserts known as the
"grea sewood." 1t has been found to
contain gum that affords va,u-
able substitute for rubber. The
method of obtaining the gum, which
has been newly patented, consists in
bruising the woody stalks of the
greasewood, soaking them in solu-
ton of carbon disulphide, and then
drawing off the liquid, which is dis
titled. The chemical used as q
solvent is driven OF by heat, and
there remains in the bottom of the
vessel gummy stun, flexible and
elastic. Finally, the gummy stuff is
washed and purified, the result be-
ing very fair substitute for india
rubber-so good, in fact, as to sug-
gest the notion that some day the
American deserts may be made to
yield very satisfactory profits in the
production of raw material for gum
shoes and bicycle tires.-Philadelphia
