ROOT IS RESPONSIBLE.
Secretary Authorized Payments
Of Money to General Gomez
Position Of the Department as Given
Out BY High offieiaI-says II Was
Necessary to Avoid ParalleIing the
Situation In the Philippine Islands.
Known to Congress Long Ago.

Washington, June II. - Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
Tor 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-
yincing proofs that the payments were
dictated by the wisest statesmanship.
AT the war department a high ofl-
cial stated the position of the depart
ment in the matter of payments to
General Gomez as follows:
The conditions in Cuba two years
ago were precarious. Not Cuban be-
lieved that the United States govern
ment ever would withdraw from Cuba
and the half famished veterans of the
Cuban army were in dangerous mood
and clamoring for their pay. General
Gomez was the head and front of their
army, and had served the revolution
ary cause as its principal leader with
out having received a cent of pay.
General Wood thought and Secretary
Root thought afterward that General
Gomez was entitled to consideration:
to home which was supplied him and
in which he entertained his comrades.
and to an income which last might be
set down as small Offset to the
money due Gomez from the Cuban re-
public.
THAT the Cubans themselves re-
garded the matter in the same light
was shown by the passage by the pres
ent Cuban congress, among the very
first of its acts, of a bill providing
liberal pension for General Gomez,
1T is believed that but for this
assumption Of the costs of Gomez liv.
Ing expenses, the conditions in Cuba
might have paralleled those in the
Philippines and the United States gov
ernment after fighting Spain to secure
freedom for the Cubans might have
been obliged to turn on them the force
of her armies.
"The necessity being present then,
in Secretary Roots view, the only
other point was the legality and pro-
priety of the payments. He soon sat.
isfied himself that there was not the
slightest doubt on that score. The
military governor was obliged to as
sumo the responsibility for his dis
bursements and to exercise his dis
cretion.. General Brooke did this and
after him General Wood and Secre-
tary Root now fully approves of every
thing they did, including the pay.
ments to Gomez"
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 re.
ceiving these payments for no less
than two years past; that the war
department far back submitted to con-
gress the full statement of all expeni-
lures in Cuba and included in the
list was a statement of payments to
General Gomez.

LOUIS DIsBRoW MISSING.
Believed He Can Throw Light on the
Shinnecock Bay Drowning.

New York. June 17.-Louis Dis
brow who the authorities believe can
clear up good portion of the mystery
which surrounds the drowning of Miss
Sarah Lawrence and Clarence Foster
in Shinnecock bay, has not been heard
from.
The girl was buried yesterday at
Riverhead, L. l., and an examination
of the body before it was placed in
the grave did not reveal any marks of
violence.
Coroner Nugent and District Attor-
ney Smith of Suffolk county decided
after a conference to take up the case
Wednesday at Good Ground, L. |. They
will examine several people and then
decide as to what further steps to
take to discover if the drowning was
other than accidental.
