GEN. GOMEZ DENIES 1T.
Cuban Veteran Says Wood Gave Him
No Campaiun Fund.

No Campaign Fund.
Havana, June 20.-Gen. Maxine go
mez has sent the following letter to the
Mundo, newspapers:
Il read in your paper yesterday news
which is far from all the truth, rams
mitted by your correspondent IN New
York and taken from the Evening Post
to the effect that l have received an
amount of money from Gen. Wood to
cover tdhe expenses of the propaganda
of our candidate for the presidency,
and as the names of respectable per-
sons, friends of mine, might be mixed
UP in the matter, / declare that the
story is an entire falsehood.
when the coalition of the parties
was formed to elect Senior Palma / was
asked to preside, an honor which
could not decline, whence arose. as was
natural the idea of collecting ;1nd
to cover the necessary expenses, and It
was decided that each one on his own
account should apply to his friends
having money in order to get the Irnds
required. Emilio Nunez being named as
treasurer.
"As I am one of those with the least
money to spare, I went straight TO my
friends, both commercial and pap Il
employees. All assisted me, and IN this
way it can be said that I have been che
of the friends of Senior Palma's canl.-
dature.
II believe that if. overcoming my
scruples. 1 had applied to Gen. WOOD
for assistance in the matter he would
not have given it to me, as in honor and
truth we must say that If perhaps he
favored the candidature of Senior Pal
ma he showed the fact in no act that L
know Of He left the Cuban people
complete liberty to act in the matter
according to their sovereign will. This
is all that occurs to me to say about
the matter"
Spain Recognizes New Republic.
Havana, June 2O.-The Spanish con-
sui general here has received cable
dispatch from Madrid instructing him
TO recognize the republic of Cuba.
For the first quarter of 1901 1914 per
cent of the customs of Cuba was paid
in American money. For the second
quarter $3.50 per cent was paid in
American money. 1921 in Spanish gold,
and 3.97 in French gold. For the third
quarter 1858 per cent was paid in
American money, 42.51 in Spanish. and
1921 in French, and for the fourth
quarter S0.41 per cent in American
money, 1916 in Spanish and 3.S3 in
French. For the first quarter of 1902
$3.50 per cent was paid in American
money.
The increased amount of Spanish
money received during the part of 1901
was due to the high official value of
Spanish and French gold. After the
rate was changed the duties We're paid

WILL SMOOTH 1T OVER.
No international UunpIeasantness Will
Follow Chicago Sailors lndiscretion.

Washington, June 21.-The case of
the American naval officers imprisoned
at Venice was discussed at the cabinet
meeting today, but the official decline
to make any statement in regard to 1t.
1t is known, however, that Secretary
Moody, of the navy, has assured the
Italian ambassador that the publication
of the findings of the court of inquiry
was entirely unauthorized and that the
department would not have consented
to it had it been advised. AS the am
bassador was particularly annoyed by
the severe criticisms upon the Italian
Tailor in the endorsement on the find
ingS 1t is probable that the affair will be
smoothed over by an explanation that
the war department does not share the
opinions set forth. Probably this will
end the matter for the present at least.
There was very sanguine feeling
expressed as to the chances of the canal
proposition. Secretary Hay had a long
conference before the meeting with
Senator Lodge and other senators and
all the advices that had come to the
white house before the cabinet meeting
went to,assure the president that some
canal legislation at the pending Ses-
sion is a certainty, and almost as strong
was the evidence that that legislation
would be in favor of the Panama pro-
ject. So we'll assured is the administra-
ton of the outcome that discussion al
ready has taken place of the steps to
be taken to carry out the purposes of
the act, and 1t is understood that the
6aparfmenf will deal with the fdiplOma tic
features Of the canal project involving.
of course, the contamination Of the
canal treaty. while the attorney general
vii pass upon the question of sufficient
title to the Panama canal.

chise and monarchical rule. The true
causes of the Belgium trouble lie in the
system of plural voting inaugurated
with the constitution law, which be-
came effective in 1894 and allowed uni
versal suffrage. but granted special
privileges tos certain classes of voters.
| Under this law every citizen over Is
years old was given one vote, and vot-

training were given two additional
votes. This constitutional right to uni.
versal suffrage was secured by the So
called socialists after years of agita-
ton and hard work. but their victory
was nullified by the power given the
plural voter. The law provides fol-
compulsory voting, and whereas before

there were but 10000 electors, under

| The campaign of candidates for the
republican nomination for railway
commissioner is growing active. With

himself candidate for that position
against Ketchum and Dawson, who are
already out for the place.
Albert r. Smith, the Ft Madison man.
is a resident of the First congressional
district, the same district in which
Dave Palmer resides, at present a
member of the commission. but this is
expected by his friends to cause him no
trouble. His candidacy will at least
relieve Palmer of the embarrassment
of standing responsible for the vote of
his district on the candidates. of
Ketchum and Dawson. Smith is rail-
road man by profession OF long expert
ence in the business, and will make his
canvass on The grounds Of his special
fitness for the position of railway COM
missioner because of his knowledge of
railway needs. The following from the
Ft Madison Republican presents his
claims:
Albert r. Smith, of this city, has an
rounced himself as candidate for
railroad commissioner subject to the
action of the coming republican state
convention. This information will be
received by Mr. Smiths friends, who
are legion In this section of the state.
with pleasure and qualification.
Any commentary upon Mr.. Smith as
a citizen or republican, Is unnecessary
where he is known. He has lived in
Iowa for fifty years and has always
been a consistent and active party
worker. AS a candidate for railroad
commissioner he is especially we'll
qualified and fitted. For number of

Combining so many elements that
are requisite in railroad commits

his candidacy for the nomination is
certain to gain strength and gather

cedes the state convention
