 Withdraw All Papers.

It Is stated by those who have seen the attorney that he will as soon as possible institute proceedings in ono of the lower courts and make a ease in regular order. The Supreme Court fin its decree denying his application fol a mandamus. suggested that he should have begun in either the City or Circuit Court.

ROOT DEPENDS CONDUCT
 OF GEN. LEONARD WOOD
avs His expenditures in tuba We're Dictated bs the Wises St7temaoShp p eCrearv of War assumes uI e.
 sa ,bIy for Payment of fho an#

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 it's acta of a bill providing a liberal pension for General Gomez. It Is believed that his assumption of the costs of Gomez liv- ing expenses. the conditions in Cuba must have paralleled those in the Phil lppines and the United States govern ment after fighting Spain to secure free- dom for the Cubans. might have been obliged to turn on them the force of her armies.
 The necessity being present, in Sec retary 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 responsibility for his disbursements and to exercise his discretion. Gen. Brooke did this, and after him Gen. Wood and Secretary Root now fully approve of everything they did, including the payments to Gomez"
 It Is pointed out at the war depart ment as a curious fact that Congress has been In full possession of the facts that Gomez has been receiving those payments for no less than two years past The War Department that far back submtte cd to Congress the full amounts of all expenses and included in the list was a statement of the payments to Gen Gomez.

 LEAVE OF ABSENCE
HIS EYES ARE IN A SERIOUS CON- OPTION AND HE WILL AGAIN GO BEFORE THE EXAMINING BOARD WHEN RESTED.

Washington, June 16.-(Special.) )-Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson has been granted three months leave of absence, after which he is again to go before the naval retiring board for examination. His eyes are said to be in a condition which holds out no hope for future i'm provement, and his continuance in the service will result, it is said, seriously
 The action of the House naval affairs committee in postponing until the next session the bill for the retirement of Captain Hobson caused renewed reports of the probability of the Merrimac hero resigning from office.
 Captain Hobson has been advised by friends not to take this course though he is said to seriously contemplate 1t In case his second examination before the naval board fails to accomplish his re- tirement.
 Captain Hobson Is now on special duty at Elzabethport. N. J. The secretary conferred about this application with Admiral Taylor, Constructor Bowles and Surgeon General Rixey, and decided to allow the leave. It Is reasonably certain that Hobson cannot remain in active service.

 " blity for the payment of money to General Gomez by General Wood dur ing the American occupation of Cuba and If Congress asks for an explanation of the matter he stands ready to furnisn what he regards the most convincing proofs that the payments were dictated by the wisest statesmanship
 Al the war department a high official stated the position of the war department in the matter as follows:
 ''The conditions in Cuba two years age were precarious Not Cuban believed that the United States government ever would withdraw from Cuba and tAe half famished veterans of the Cuban army were in a dangerous mood and clamoring for their pay. General Gomez was the head and front of their army and had served the revolutionary cause as its principal leader without having received cent of pay. General Wood thought and Secretary Root thought afterward that General Gomez was entitled to con. sideration to the extent of home which was supplied him. and in which he enter. tained 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.

Clayton of Alabama Jaw Sig-
 nifcanCG of Measure
MADE VIGOROUS TTACK ON II
He Declared 1t Simply a Homeopathic Dose of Ship Subsidy, Differing From the Hanna Bill
 Only In Extent.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, June 16-Through the ef- forts of Representative Clayton of Ala bama a miniature ship subsidy bill was defeated in the House this afternoon. The committee on military affairs had favorably reported to the House bill au thorizing the Secretary of .. ar to favor American built ships in the rransporta- ton of government supplies to the Phil ippines
 The bill further provides the bids should not exceed by 10 per cent the lowest bid offered for transporting such supplies in foreign built ships. MT. Clayton is not a member of the military affairs commit tee but as soon as the measure was read for passage, he saw the significance of 1t.
 A Homeopathic Dose.
 In a speech he declared it was simply a homeopathic dose of ship subsidy differ ing from the Hanna bill only in the ex- tent of its operation, though not in prin- ciple.
 The object of the bill was simply to encourage private enterprises at the ex- pepse of the government. At the very least, he declared, the extra expense would Amount to $S5,OOo per annum, and might reach into the hundreds of thou sands Acting upon the initiative of MT Clayton, the Democrats sol,dly opposed the bill.
 Mir. Underwood of Alabama started a filibuster out failed.
 Did not the quartermaster decline to endorse this bill?" asked MT. Richardson of Tennessee.
 "The quartermaster made no recom- mondation," replied MT. Stephens.
 ''1s not this homeopathic dose of the ship subsidy bill?" asked MT. Clayton of Alabama.
 Willing to Pay 10 Per Cent.
 'I an willing" replied MT. Stephens "to pay 10 per cent additional for the next two years in order to establish direct line of communication to the Philippines. MT. Slayden of Texas said he was sur prised to see so good a man as MT. Stephens support a bill so vicious.
 It was a direct application of the sub- sidy principle to few individuals.
 MT. Clayton Of Alabama said the bill was a proposition to give unnecessary gratuity to certain ship owners.
 Messrs. Snodgrass of Tennessee. Under wood of Alabama, Cochran of Missouri and Williams of Mississippi also opposed the bill. It was defeated 76 to 66, two- thirds having not voted for 1t.

deemed 1t wiser to recede from the amendment inasmuch as 1t was inde- fensible anyhow than to hold up the en- tire measure aroused MT. Foraker, and finally the matter was withdrawn With out action on MT. Proctors motion.
 Bills were passed as follows:
 Authorizing the Santa Pacific Railroad to sell or lease its railroad property and franchises; to amend the revised stat utes relating to shipping so that the oath as to the ownership of any vessel offered for register may be made by any authorized agent of the corporation own ing the vessel.
 The Senate then, at 5:O5 p. m., went into executive session and soon after wards adjourned

 Two bills were passed to amend the general pension laws. one to provide Tor the restoration to the pension rolls Of the widows of soldiers who subsequent- ly married and were again widowed, and one to increase the pension of those who have lost limb or were totally dis abled while in the military or naval service The latter bill also carried, an important provision to increase the pension of a soldier under the dependent act of 1890 from SIP to $30 per month, when such pensioner requires frequent or periodical attendance.

Taylor, a clerk in the War Depart ment was laid on the table 109 to S4 nree Republicans voted on this ques- ton with the Democrats.

 WILL MAKE THE RACE

ed in this connection above, made the statement as news and not in any priv ate way at all although he would prefer not to have his name used.
 Of course the question at once sprung Is whether Col Quarles will have the support of former Governor Johnston in the race. It Is rather curious fact that the friends of the ex-governor in this city all believe that he Is going to run himself while in administration circles the opposite opinion Is as steadily ad- hered to. The gentleman quoted above while a warm friend of Governor John ton, said he did not himself know what Is the attitude of that gentleman toward the candidacy of Col. Quarles, and the latter did not inform him during their interview on last Saturday.
