the situation is beginning to be some

but a severe and protracted cold spell

put man down and teach him his place.
They will push him ahead If they can,
they will pull him along when they

they will never conspIre together on

there are competent men for that use.

WHY GOMEZ WAS PAID.
Secretary Root Assumes the Full RE-.
sponsibility.

Washington, June 1T.-Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment of money to General
Gomez by General Wood during the
American occupation of Cuba, and If
Congress asks for an explanation of
the matter he stands prepared to fur
nish what he regards as the most con-
vincing proofs that the payments We're
dictated by the wisest statesmanship.
At the War Department n high Off
cial stated the position of the depart
ment in the matter rs follows:
''The conditions in Cuba two years
ago We're precarious. Not II Cuban be-
lieved that the United States govern
ment ever would withdraw from Cuba,
and the half-famished veterans of the
Cuban army We're in dangerous
mood and clamoring for their pay.
General Gomez was the head and front
of their army, and had served the rev.
olutionary cause as its principal leader
without having received Il 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 COM
rades, and 10 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 pres
ent Cuban Congress among the very
first of It's acts, of n bill providing n
liberal pension for General Gomez. 1t
Is believed that but for this assumption
of the costs of GomeZ's living expenses
the conditions in Cuba must have par
nlleled those In the Philippines and the
United States government, after fight
ing 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
retary Roots view the only other
point was the legality and propriety of
the payments. He soon satisfied him
self that there was not the slightest
doubt on that score. The military gov
ernor was obliged to assume the re-
| sponslbility for his disbursements and
TO exercise his discretion. General
Brooke did this. and after him General
Wood, and Secretary Root now fully
approves of everything they did, in
cluding the payment of Gomez"
1t Is pointed out at the War Depart
ment as Il curious fact that Congress
has been in full possession of the in
formation that Gomez had been recciv-
ing those payments for no less than
two years past. The War Department
that far back submitted to Congress
the full statement of all expenses in
Cuba. and included in the list was Il
statement Of the payments to General
Gomez.

January 1, 1904. There also is pro-
vision that the debts OF Cuba shall not
become a charge upon the general gov
eminent. There is also an alternative
provision giving the President, II he
prefers. the right 10 proceed In more
direct way for Cuba's admission as a
state. This provision permits the ad-
mission under the terms OF the resolu-
tion itself. Instead OF proceeding to
submit the resolution 10 Cuba as an
overture on the part OF the United
States" II this latter course is pur-
sued n state is 10 be formed ''out OF

on an equal footing with the existing
states, as soon as the terms and condl-
tlons OF such admission shall be agreed

preparation Of $4,000 TO carry It's pro-

DEWET'S SURRENDER
LOYAL TO NEW GOVERNMENT.

Praises Boer Women for Their Devo-
tion to the Lost Republio.-concen
tration Camps VIII Become Supply
Depots to Restock the Burghers'
Farms.
London, June. 16.-Dispatches re-
ceiyed here from South Africa show
that the surrender of Beers is proceed
ing with the greatest good will. The
total OF those who have already sur
rendered numbers 16,500, and the Brit
ish are extending every possible kind
ness to the men who come in.
The appearance of General Dewet at
the camp at Winburg was the signal
for a great display of enthusiasm.
When he arrived ut the camp, General
Dewet was at once surrounded by
thousands of Boer men, women and
children, who struggled and clamored
to shake the hand of their hero. Cen
eral Dewet mounted table and deliv-
cred an address. He warmly applauded
the staunch support that the women
had given the burghers during the war,
which, he said, had greatly encouraged
the men in the field. Continuing, he
recommended his hearers to be loyal to
the new government. and said:
Perhaps 1t is hard for you to hear
this from my mouth, but God has de-
clded thus. | fought until there was
no more hope of upholding our cause,
and, however 1t may be, the time has
now come to lay down our arms. As
n Christian, God now demands that we
be faithful to our government. Let us
submit to His decision"
Neither General Dewet nor Mr..
Steyn, former president of the old
Orange Free State, was ever wounded
during the war. General Dewet has
not seen his wife for two years.
The repatriation committee which
has been formed to assist the Boers In
returning to their farms, has gigantic
task before it, The concentration camp
will be converted into supply depots TO
provide the returning burghers with
the means to rebuild and restock their
farms.
The wives and families or the Beers
will, IL desired, be maintained at the
expense of the government, while the
burghers are preparing the farms for
their reception. Two thousand of the
national scouts, who fought upon the
British side during the war, will be
Immediately disbanded and each scout
will be provided with "A pony and en-
abled to return to his farm.
