OLD FIGHTER GOMEZ HERE.
Says the Cuban Liberating Army VIII Be
Paid Before the Year Ends.

Gen. Ma ximo Gomez. the idolized Cuban
chief of two long wars. is in New York
at the Hotel America. Accompanied by
Senior Francisco Palma, nephew OF Presi-
dent Palma Of Cuba, he arrived on Tuesday
night from st. Louis by way of Washington.
While he looks his "a years, the old warrior
is the picture of health His face has the
same healthy bronze that it had when
he was here year ago, and through his
spectacles shine two piercing eyes. He is
as erect, too, as ever, his broad shoulders
straight. Yesterday he was slightly ill
with a cold. He sails to-day for Havana.
1.-THE Cuban libeating army, said the
veteran, who is chief of the com mission
for the revision Of the army lists. will be
paid before the end of this year You can
quote me as saying So The co mmission
will finish its work next month. To pay
the army, Cuba will have to negotiate a
loan. Thirty-five million dollars has been
decided upon. But my compatriots who,
like myself, have fought for the indepen-
dence of Cuba and for law and order, will
never take any action that will endanger
the institutions we helped create. There
are many others who, like myself, are
creditors of the Cuban Republic to very
considerable amount, yet we will wait for
our money rather than see the Government
sacrifice itself
Cuba Libre has done exceently during
the first year of its life--as well as any one
could no pc for. Our Government is well
organized, and We are much better off finans
cially than when we took charge. Affairs
are entirely satisfactory, and there is no
complaint from any one.
$50 far none of our industries have suf-
fered because of the defeat of the rec-
procity measure. The Cubans are patient
people. What we have to-day has been
brought about by years of persistent fight
ing This question of reciprocity is
weighty one, and the United States must
give it long and careful consideration: But
We will get it. In the meantime. the Cubans
keep on working 1t should be remembered,
however, that the United States would be
a great winner by reciprocity with Cuba,
and commercial expectancy should induce
Congress to bring about reciprocal rela-
lions between the two countries
Gen. Gomez was very enthusiastic about
the st. Louis exposition, which may have
much to do with inducing Cuba to take
part, although no appropriation for this
purpose has been made yet

READY FOR ARBITRATION
Miners Eager to Begin the Work Of the
Board OF Cancellation.

WILKEs-BARRR, Pa, May 6.-The mine
workers have not yet been notified officially
Of the appointment Of Messrs. Luther.
Warmer and Connell as the operators
representatives on the board Of concilia-
ton in coal troubles. They say, however.
that they are ready at any time to hold
the first conference They hope it will
take place early next week, owing to the
increasing ill-feeling among the mine work
ers, caused by their many grievances. 1t
is the mine workers plan to hold a meeting
in each mining centre, 40 as to hear the
grievances of the workers.
The chief matters to be submitted to the
board are to determine what constitutes a
niae-hour day; plans to prevent discrimina-
ton: for placing a check weighman at
every colliery; standard basis for COM
putting prices and establishing a Sunday
holiday for the engineers. The chief
questions which the operators want settled
are how to prevent the mine workers from
quitting on holidays which are not allowed,
and remaining away from work after pay
days, and also how to prevent interference
with non-union workers.
