GEN. MAXlMO GOMEZ
IS DANGEROUSLY ILL
SANTIAGO, Cuba May 1e.-Genera Maxine Gomez
gerously with nephrits

General Maximo Gomez has been one
of the foremost figures in Cuba for the
past quarter of a century. He was
one of the leaders in the modern re-
volts against the rule of Spain, and
was a compatriot in the Ten Years
war from 1868 to 1878 with the ill-fated
General Garcia. He spent all his means
in preparing for insurrection after in
sllrrection. When the Cuban revolt
broke out again in 1895, Gomez was
placed at the head of the patriot army.
His headquarters were wherever his
ill-fed troops could find a resting
place. He was a thorn in the side of
the Spanish authorities and great
masses of troops We're sent out from
Spain to subdue him He inflicted
great losses on the Spanish. Associat-
ad with Gomez We're Generals Garcia
and Maceo. the latter being killed in
the latter part of 1896. Maceo was
one of Gomezs best leaders. and was
greatly beloved by his people

COUNTY ACT
LITIGATION
Governor Carter Only
Seeking for an Early
Decision.

The attorneys are now looking into
the question, but it is not at all certain
that the County Act Litigation will
be taken to the Supreme Court at
once upon an agreed statement of
facts. 1t may be necessary to be-
gin lower down.
In connection with this County Act
litigation said Governor Carter yes
terday, Il conceive that the highest
duty to the people of this Territory
is to have the matter settled soon
as possible, and with the least pos
sible expense and the most complete
avoidance of a condition of chaos
1t seems that at the meeting of coun-
sci in the Governors office on Satur-
day afternoon, it was urged that the
quickest way to secure action was to
submit the case to the Supreme Court
upon an agreed statement of facts. Mr..
Cooper, however, was not so certain
that this could be done. He urged
that the Supreme Court might refuse
to hear the case so submitted, upon the
plea that it was a moot question and
SO throw it out of court. The Supreme
Court, in other words, it was argued,
might refuse to hear argument upon
the validity of the law until the law
had actually gone into effect. And, if
that were done, why the expense of
an election, which it is sought now to
avoid, would not be avoided. More
over. it would become necessary to
attack the County Act again, and that
after the officers had been elected and
had actually taken Office. In other
words, there would come about that
condition of chaos which the Governor
is extremely anxious to avoid.
IF the Act is valid, we'll and good,
said the Governor yesterday. But if
as soon as possible
1t is, accordingly, by no means GER
tain that the proceeding against the
act will be commenced directly in the
Supreme Court The County Act was
knocked out the last time, it will be
remembered, after it had gone into eff
feet and after the county officers had
been elected. The condition now, there
fore, is so far different
As to an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court, that right is under
stood to exist, there being no neces-
sity to reserve it expressly. Under the
amendment to the Organic Act, it is
a right that can of course be eXercis-
ed. But. if the Organic Act had not
been amended, the decision of the Ter
ritorial Supreme Court would have
been accepted as final. Whether Gov
ernor Garter will so accept it, of course
remains to be seen
Incidentally to the County Act litiga- |
ton, it is altogether probable that an |
attack will be made upon the bill ap- |
propriating $4,000 for the purpose OF |
holding the election. That is public |
money. and the Secretary of the Terri |
tory might be enjoined from expend-
ing it for the purpose.

He WANTS To
SHOW FLAG
Gov. Garter Will Not
Grant Or. Brigham's
Request.

Under an agreement that if shall not
| be publicly exhibited for five years
the Hawaiian flag that was lowered
from the Government Building on
August II 1898, has been turned over
to the custody of Bishops Museum
And no sooner did DR. Brigham get
it into his possession, than he pre-
ferred a request to Governor Carter
through Chief Clerk Buckland. that he
be allowed to place it at once on the
walls of the museum without any des-
ignation or label to distinguish it
from any other Hawaiian flag.
I'VE have no Hawaiian flag" said
DIR. Brigham, .'and there is a bare
place on the walls that this flag will
exactly fit"
Not for moment said Governor
Carter. will 1 entertain any PROPOSE
tion for the public exhibition of this
historic flag at the present time. That
would but awaken memories that
would be certain to be painful I had
a fear that the flag, which is of price
less historic interest, might in some
way get lost here. We have been as
careful with the historical relics about
the Capitol as we could be, since L
came into office. All the papers and
articles OF, value that I have signed
for. are here We know that. But
because there was even a remote
chance that it might get lost, [ con-
sented to let the flag go into the Gus
tody of the museum. temporarily, un-
til we had ourselves a safer place to
keep it.
but it must not be exhibited. And,
now that we have an Archives Com
mission, which has gone actively to
work we hope soon to have a place of
safe keeping for all these relics and for
all documents ourselves. And then we
will keep them ourselves.
The flag in question was turned over
to Dr. Brigham yesterday afternoon,
and of course the Trustees of the Mu-
scum are responsible for it. 1t is of
bunting, and of no particular value
beyond the historical interest that at
taches to it.

When the Spanish-American war
broke out. Gomez at once bent his
efforts to effect a junction with the
Americans, and he gave aid in various
military enterprises. Soon after Cuba
was wrenched from Spain. Major Gen
eral Gomez made known his unalterabIe
project for the independence of Cuba
The relations between the United
States and Generals Gomez and Gar
cia became strained, and Garcia be-
came so chagrined that he finally sent
in his resignation to Gomez, notifying
General Shafter OF the action. In 1893
Gomez. too became disaffected but il
was thought he would be eminentIy
fitted to dispose of the So. 000 900 which
the United States appropriated for the
pay of the Cuban troops. He vas
finally chosen to assist in this work.
In the last few years Gomez has
dropped out of sight somewhat, but ne
is growing old, and the Independence
for which he fought has been gained
Gomez was born in San Domingo.

MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT.
Iowa School Book Trust Has Stormy
Career.

Waterloo, May 15.-County Superin.
tendent Charles Elliott has received
notice that the National Publishing
company has made an assignment and
has quite the business so short that it
will never be revived. This company
will be remembered as the organiza-
ton effected at Cedar Rapids several
months ago by some of the prominent
school men Of the state for the pur-
pose of controlling and raising the
price on books in use in the public
schools in Iowa. The Organization
was made secretly, and it was the de-
sire, apparently, of those engaged in
1t that its identity should never be
known to the public The facts
leaked out, however, to some news
paper men in different parts of the
state, and the existence of the new
trust was made known in dispatches
to several papers in the state. Expla-
nations were at once made by several
of the men connected with the new
combination, but the public having
turned deaf ear to this new trust, It
died from the publicity given it.

TO PROTECT GIRLS.
Sisters Of Mercy Have Charge Of Fine
Davenport Home.

Burlington, May 15-Sisters Of Mer.
cy at st. Cecelia's academy are inter.
ested in the est. Mary's Home" re-
Gently opened at Davenport for the
protection of young working girls For
this new institution is under the direct
supervision of the mother house." to
which the Sisters of Mercy at st. Ce-
celia belong. The mother house, which
is at Mercy hospital, Davenport, has
been awarded the care of the insane
of Scott county for this year by the
board of supervisors.
The new work, which Is to be taken
up at the st. Mary's home, Is told Of
in the Davenport Times as follows:
sit is the earnest desire Of the Sis
tiers to afford the comforts and pro-
lection of home fo- young women, en-
ployed in the city and who have been;
deprived Of such advantages The un.
dertaking is a laudable one, and ever.
since the announcement was first
made by the Times the idea has met
with encouragement,o on every side. The
prime object of the Home will be to
furnish for these young women who
are working in the city and have
homes elsewhere, all the comforts
which they were compelled to give up
when they took their departure from
the parental roof to seek their liveliI
hood in other fields.
est. Mary's Home was formerly
st. Mary's school, but was vacated
about three years ago. 1t is commodi-
Gus, well ventilated, heated by steam.
supplied with gas and telephone, and
since the Sisters began the work Of
renovation, it has every comfort that
the best of such institutions deem de-
sirable. 1t is pleasantly situated in
desirable portion Of the city, easy of
access from the street car lines, and
once its great merit becomes known.
it will be one of the most laudable phi
lanthropic institutions of the city.
"The Sisters will also care for those
of advanced age who are in need Of
assistance This is the secondary OBJ
iect Of the establishment, an undertake
ing that will be appreciated by all
who have kindred in need of such
kindnesses in their advanced years"
