DID WE BUY GOMEZ
Further Information From Charles
M. Dobson.
HE IS A FRIEND OF GEN. WOOD
And Resents Any Intinlation of Corr
ruption ON the Part of
That Official.
xew York Sum specs., Services

New York, June 1S.-Charles M. Dob
son, who was quoted in a dispatch from
New Orleans as saying that General
Gomez had been paid $25, 900 by the United
States government to stay out Of the race
for the presidency of the republic of Cuba,
said to-day that he had not been correctly
quoted. Mr.. .Dobson lives in New York,
and returned from New Orleans yester-
day. He was especially indignant over
the intimation that General Wood person
ally or of his own volition had done any
thing discreditable. Mr.. Dobson re-
affirmed the allegations, however, that
General Gomez had received large sums
Of money from this government as the
price OF peace on his part and that of his
followers. Mr.. Dobson said:
General Gomez was in a position at
the close Of the Spanish American war
to cause this government great deal Of
trouble. He had the native lighting ele-
ment Of the eastern end of the island
completely under his control. He did not
cause any such trouble. and from May to
November, 1900, he was paid at least
S19,000-how much more the records at
washington will show.
$50 far as General Wood is concerned,
have the utmost confidence in his integ-
rity. He is an able man, so far as the
administration of affairs in Cuba is con-
cerned. and thoroughly honest. He is my
personal friend, and l regret that any
aspersions on his character have been in
correctly attributed to me-

BAD TIME AT EVANSTON
INVASION OF THE cHrGGER
Biblical students Come Up to the
scratch-The W0man's Hall
Invaded.

Netc York. SUN Special SerUtce
Chicago, June 18.-The chiggers have
come as unlimited guests to the COM
mencement exercises Of = Northwestern
university, and Evanston is all,scratched
up. 1t Is admitted without argument by
all that countless army of the. wild
western invaders has taken the town, and
there is talk Of abandoning the remaining
functions of the commencement program.
The chigger is native of the far south
west, and manifests in his nature the
strenuous and lawless characteristics OF
Arizona and the Indian Territory, where
he thrives most.
A large buck chigger Is about one-hun-
dredth of an inch long, and it is said by
scientists that 1000, 900 baby chiggers can
be coralled on a half dollar, but they have
the faculty of making themselves actually
felt from the time they are weaned, which
is at the end of the third hour of their
existence. rs>sz -.
The most notable, trait of the chigger
the one. which causes him to loom up
out, of obscurity and become a burning
issue-is his propensity for burroWing
under the human skin when he Is In
search of diversion. When he performs
this operation, the person selected for a
habitation, promptly forgets for the mo-
ment everything else in the universe. AS
a pretty coed naively expressedit yester-
day, in recounting her own sufferlngs,
you just simply have to scratch, no mat
ter wnere you are or who is looking -.
In view. of this fact Evanstonians are
looking forward with more than usual In
terest to the contest for the Kirk prize In
oratory-the biggest event in that line
during the college year-for II the CHG
gers happen to get in their work on the
contestants while engaged in delivering
orations, some of the gestures are likely
to be entirely impromptu and without
precedent. >.-.l-@ -. :. -...,.. -.
The chiggers found their first Judgment
in Evanston at Heck hall, where the bib
lical students congregate. Had they been
content with that, conquest no one would
have cared. much, aside from the "bibs''
themselves. for the denizens of Heck hall
are not particularly popular in college or
town circles. But they didn't.
Instead they soon evinced a great pref
erence for feminine society and in a
wonderfully short time the woman's hall,
the cottage and the other girls quarters
were invaded.

MAINE DEMOCRATS

Want to Let the Philippines Go.

Want to Let the Philippines Go.
Bangor Me-, June 1S.-The democratic
state convention nominated S. W. Gould Of
Slsowhegan for governor adopted a plat
form which deals at some length with ma
tonal issues and listened to a political
address by Congressman Champ Clark OF
Missouri The platform says:
We deDlore the policy which has created
occasion for acts of cruelty and bartarism in
the Philippines which no party dares uphold.
We denounce the policy of imperialism as
practced by Spain in Cuba, by the British
government in America before the revolution,
by Great Britain in South Africa and by the
republican administration in the Philippines.
We believe that the liberation of Cuba was
forced by the democratic party, and that the
same liberty should be granted to the Philip
pines
Mr.. Clark. of Missouri said:
While Mr.. Payne, the floor leader Of the
republicans, ard his faction shout LET we'll
enough alone they, inconsstently with their
own theory, brought in hill to tinker the
blessed Dingley rates by reducing them 20
per cent on imports from Cuba. Whereupon
forty-three whole-hog tariff republicans,
mostly from the beet sugar region kicked out
of the traces, ran amuck on the house ma
chine and smashed it into smithereens. On
the other hand, the democrats are united upon
the democratic doctrine of revenue tariff
and upon the proposition to fight the trusts
to the death. =, -
On the subject of the Boer war, Mr..
Clark said
TO our ineffable shame be it said that while
England was numbering those brave little re-
publics we stood by, consenting like Saul at
the stoning of Stephen. Wherefore? Be
cause we are engaged in the same sort Of
bloody business in the Philippines.

The foregoing ticket was nominated by
the democratic state convention yester
day and John P. Hopkins was reelected
chairman of the state central committee
after bitter contest'with Carter H. Har-
rison of Chicago.
The election of Chairman Hopkins pro-
duced the only fight in the convention.
Impassioned speeches were made in ia
vor Of both representatives and the ad-
herents of both jeered according to their
pride or dislike of the speakers attitude.
The delegates at times were frantic and
criticisms highly personal in their nature
were frequently exchanged.
The committee on resolutions had long
and stormy session. before their report
was finally adopted. IT,. : ~
The principal fight was over the first
plank in the platform AS originally
drafted this read: ~as. -. r-.---- o,....
The democrats of Ilirois, in state conven-
ton, declare their adherence to the funda-
uclldl pllnClpieS Ltl lle ueluOCTdllC party dS
laid down in the Declaration Of independence.
and the constitution of the United States
affirmed at our last national convention.
This was considered by the opponents
of silver as too specific declaration in
favor Of the Kansas City platform, and,
headed by John G. Richberg and Adolf
Kraus of Chicago, they fought it. For
three hours the debate went on and the
plank was amended to read: "All funda-
mental principles Of the democratic party,
ETC., repeatedly affirmed by past demo-
cratic conventions. = 81 - .t-s>
No effort was made to bring in the name
Of w. j. Bryan. .s- Isl III -
The platform denounces trusts and de-
mands a. revision Of the tariff, opposes
ship subsidies, extends congratulations to
Cuba and deplores the assassination OF
President Mckinley. AS to the Philippines
the platform says:
We believe that the American government
should at once announce to the Philippines
that it is not our policy 10 permanently re-
| tain their country, but soon as hostiities
shall cease, and a stable government be es-
tablished the United States will recognize
the independence of the Philippine islands
as was done in the case of Cuba. ..
