The Americans. it seems, have not
contented themselves with invading the
English mercantile markets and sue
cessfully competing with the British in
the sale of commodities which go to
sustain and make comfortable the life
of man. but have made such inroads
upon their book market as to cause
loud complaints. The cry is raised
that not only is the British author los
ing his hold on the American market,
but is confronted with serious loss in
the home market by American rivalry.

SAME OLD COMPLAINT.
"SOoners' Secured Mast OF the VaIuabis
Claims In the Fort Hall Reservation
and Contests Are Numerous

Blackfoot, Ida, June 19.-The
crowds at the land office in this city
continued undated. Many camped
on the ground in front of the office
all night and when day broke a line
of men stretching far down the
street was waiting to file their
claims on the Fort Hall reservation.
The struggle for the more valuable
lands in the reservation is increas-
ing. The feeling against the "soon-
ers," hundreds of whom eluded the
Indian police and deputies and took
up choice claims, is very bitter.
Trouble is looked for unless some of
the pending contests are soon set
tied. Contests for the choice lands
are being filed steadily and the courts
will be kept busy for months
Strengthening out the tangles result
ing from the rush for government
land. The filing of claims proceed
ed steadily to-day, but it will be sew
eral days before the last entry is
made.

FIGHT FOR CUBA LOST.
Republican Senators Cannot Agree on
Reciprocity Bill and Roosevelt May Call
Extra Session of Senate.

Washington, June 19.-There will
be no reciprocity legislation at this
session of congress. No measure for
the benefit of Cuba will be passed.
The concessions proposed in the
house bill, which has been before
the senate committee on relations
with Cuba fer weeks, was reported
to a conference of the republicans
held this evening. There was full and
free discussion. The entire member
ship of the republican side of the
senate participated in the conference.
After the discussion it was decided
to take no further steps. The end
of the present session will follow
before the Fourth of July.
1t is insisted that the president will
now insist upon negotiating treaty
and calling the senate together in ex-
ira session to consider it. He is
credited with having named Novem-
Der, after the congressional elections,
as the time for this extra session.
Some of the senators who are his
advisers believe that such step
would be unwise and would only Gre
ate the same kind of a fight which
has just been waged and lost.

TO PREVENT REVOLT
Secretary of War Tells Why Money
Was Paid to Gen. Gomez.
Gen. Brooke Began 1t, Gen. Wood Kept u
Up, Secretary Root Approves It and
Congress has Known 1t
Two Years.

Washington, June 17.-Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment of money to Gen.
Gomez by Gen. Wood, during the
American occupation of Cuba, and
stands prepared to furnish what he
regards as the most convincing
proofs that the payments were die
tated by the wisest craftsmanship.
At the war department a high official
stated the position of the department.
in the matter as follows:
''The conditions in Cuba two years
ago were precarious. Not Cuban
believed that the United States gov
.crnment ever would withdraw from
Cuba and the half-famished veterans
: of the Cuban army were in danger
zous mood and clamoring for their
pay. Gen. Gomez was the head and
front of their army and had served
the revolutionary cause as it's prin-
cipal leader without having received
a cent of pay. Gen. Wood thought,
and Secretary Root thought after
ward, that Gen. Gomez was enti-
sled to consideration; to a homo
which was supplied him and in which
he entertained his comrades and to
IAN income, which last might be set
down as a small offset to the money
due Gomez from the Cuban republic.
That the Cubans themselves regard
ed the matter in the same light was
shown by the passage by the pres
ent Cuban congress, among the very
first of its acts, of a bill providing
a liberal pension for Gen. Gomez. 1t
&c hnliaunA haf hui 60
ton of the costs of Gomezs living
expenses the conditions in Cuba must
have paralleled those in the Philip
pines and the United States govern
ment, after fighting Spain to secure
freedom for the Cubans, might have
been obliged to turn on them the
force of her army.
''The necessity being present, in
Secretary Roots view, the only other
point was the legality and propriety
of the payments. He soon satisfied
himself that there was not the slight
est doubt on that score. The mill
tary governor was obliged to assume
the responsibility for his disburse-
ments and to exercise his discretion.
Gen. Brooke did this and after him
Gen. Wood and Secretary Root now
fully approves of everything they
did, including the payments to Co
mez."
1t is pointed out at the war de-
partment as a curious fact that con-
gress has been in full possession of
the information that Gomez had
been receiving those payments for
no less than two years past. The
war department that far back SUBJ
mitted to congress the full statement
of all expenses in Cuba and included
in the list was a statement of the
payments to Gen. Gomez.
