ROOT AND WOOD
ACTED TOGETHER
Secretary of War will Explain
Granting Of Gomez Pension.
GAVE CUBAN A HOME
SAYS TRANSACTION WAS PER
FECTLY LEGAL AND PROPER.

IIASHINGTON, June 16.-Secretary
w Root has assumed full respon-
sibiiity for the payment of money
to General Gomez by General Wood
during the American occupat ion OF
Cuba, and if congress asks for an ex-
PLANTATION of the matter he stands. pre-
pared to furnish what he regards as
the most convincing proofs that the
payments were dictated 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 a Cuban
believed that the United States gov
eminent ever would withdraw from
Cuba, and the half famished veterans
of the Cuban army were in danger
Gus mood and clamOTing for their pay.
General Gomez was the head and front
Of their army, and had served the rev
dictionary cause as its principal leader
without having received a cent of pay.
General Wood thought, and Secretary
Root thought afterwards, that General
Gomez was entitled to compensation;
TO a home which was supplied him and
in which he entertained his comrades,
and to an income, which last might be
set down as a small offset to the money
due Gomez from the Cuban republic.
That the Cubans themselves regarded
the matter in the same light was shown
by the passage by the present Cuban
congress, among the very first Of its
acts of a bin providing a liberal PEN
sion for General Gomez.
1T is believed that but for this as
sumption Of the costs of Gomez's living
expenses. the conditions in Cuba must
have paralleled those in the Philippines,
and the United States government,
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 Sec
rotary Roots view, the only other point
was the legality and propriety of the
payments. He soon satisfied himself
that there was not the slightest doubt
on that score. The military governor
was obliged to assume the responsible
ity for his disbursements and to eXer-
else his discretion. General Brooke did
this, and after him General Wood, and
Secretary Root now fully approves of
ments to Gomez.
everything they did including the pay
1t is pointed out at the war depart
ment as a curious fact that congress
has been in full possession of the in
formation that Gomez had been receiv-
ing those payments for no less than
two years past. The war department
that far back submitted To congress
the fun statement OF all expenses in
cuba and included in the list was the
statement Of the payment to General
Gomez.

The Morals of Animals.

It may be questioned whether ami
mails have any conception OF morals
as we understand the term, but In u
general sense it would certainly seem
that they have. In the social sense
there is no doubt as to the answer. To
take well known instance, the ant
family have evolved a most complicat-
ed social system which apparently
works to perfection, and that is more
than can be said for any human sys-
tenn. In order, cleanliness, care of off
lpring, provision fer future wants and
military discipline no civilized society
can compare with theirs They are
shareholders, it is true, but they treat
their slaves with every kindness and
consideration. and the warrior ants de-
fend them in time Of danger.
Anc Their excellent example, is fur
nished by the beaver. During summer
it leads solitary life. but at the ap-
proach of winter communities are
formed, building operations commence.
stores ere laid up as soon as the dwell
ings are completed, and every individual
of the community recognizes clearly
that the interests CT the family and
the colony come first. In their family
life they, in common with many other
animals, offer an example which might
well be copied not only by savages, but
also by civilized communities.

There may be mulattoes, quadroons

as we can learn, a human being of one
sixteenth negro blood. No pure blood

known to have issue. Many years ago.

when Bishop Newman was advocating

one of the most famous physicians and

ward of $1,000 to any person who

found on earth. From the octoroon the
