and it is said that this meeting of those
opposed to President Roosevelt's policy
in Cuba was to formulate some plan to
circumvent the administration Repub-

their course upon the reciprocity i'm
broglio in the immediate future. The

1t is also said that Senators Jones OF
Nevada, Simon, Mason, Stewart and
Wellington had agreed to abide by the
conclusions reached by those who at
tended, although they themselves were
unable to be present These eighteen,
it is fairly certain, will as vigorously as
ever oppose the administration in its re-
ciprocity plans.
A report, which the United States
officers have not succeeded in confirm
ing, but which is current among the
natives in Manila, is to the effect that
the five men of the Fifth United States
cavalry who were taken prisoners by

Charles NJ Dobson, of New Orleans
who for short time represented the
Associated Press in Cuba, has declared
that Gen. Gomez was paid $25, 600 by
Gov. Gen. Wood to keep the Cubans
quiet during the presidential election IN
Cuba.
Dobson says the money was paid with
the knowledge and consent of President
Mckinley and that President Roosevelt
is aware of the proceeding.
Few people here take any stock in
Dobsons story. Some of the local anti
administration papers sneered at it in a
few lines.
Regarding the New Orleans story that
Gen. Gomez received $25, 600 bride
from the administration to withdraw
from the Cuban campaign, thereby per-
uniting the election of Estrada Palma
it was stated in Washington by an Off
cial close to President Roosevelt, that he
had never before heard of it. Secretary
Hay said that not until his attention
was called to the story hal he received
the slightest intimation of it from any
source.
If President Roosevelt is able to full
fiji all of the promises he has made to
visit various sections of the country
during the summer and fall, before the
congressional elections, he will have
visited and spoken in nearly every state
of the union except those in the Rocky
mountains and on the Pacific slope.
Plans already made contemplate the
most important swing around the circle
made by a president for many years.
He has in view both the inspiration of
the fall campaign and the desire to be.
come acquainted with all parts of the
country as candidate for the presiden.
tial nomination Of 1904.

Titan line near pier A in the North river
New York on Sunday night Though
large parts Of the main, hurricane and
upper decks of the Cygnus were torn
away and portion of the steel hull of
the Dimock was crushed in, none of the

injured and both vessels were able TO
discharge their passengers without as
sistance from other crafts.
