Havana July 9.-The Cuban Congress ad-
journed this evening to reconvene in November.
Immediately after adjournment, the President
went aboard the gunboat Patuey, which will take
him to his summer home The Presidents last
act before sailing was to sign decree annulling

France and Germany by Lopez Rodriguez agent
OF the Cuban government accredited for that
purpose and appointing General Pine Guerra,
commander of the army, and two other officers
a commission to visit the arms factories in
the United States and Europe to decide on the
best types and TO make contracts.
The Presidents action is interpreted a
victory for General Pine Guerra, who objected
to intrusting the matter Of the armament Of
the forces to a civilian
1t is also believed that President Gomez was
Influenced by the protests of American arms
manufacturers who held that they had not had
opportunity to bid the contracts.

Director of the National Lottery was approved
by the Senate. but at the last moment he de-

workings in Austin afford a fair paral-

ground owned by the Austin-Manhattan
company, ore that assays $97 gold has
been broken at 50-foot depth. Farther
west, but still on the south side, a four
foot vein on the Jack Pot has been
prosecuted at 200 feet. This vein
averages $17 in gold and still goes
high in silver.
In the past two years other sonth

neer of the Western Pacific railway, ac-
companied by Mr.. Clary, attorney Of
the company, from Stockton, Cal, ar
rived in his private car from the west
over the Southern Pacific last evening.
The ear was transferred over the spur
to the Western Pacific material yard
and was met there by T. j. Wyche,
division engineer, who arrived from
Elko in his private ear over the pew
road. The party, after inspecting ope
~rations here, are going out to the fron9
where the last gap on the new trans
continental railroad is rapidly being
closed by two big tracklaying machines.
W lille there has been some delay Il The
wolk on account of the late s%torr's,
there are now only about twenty on+
r..lcs of track to be laid to make the
connection with the California end. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Bogue and par
ty are here to rush all the work and
have the new railroad completed as
soon as possible. Steam shovels are be-
ing used at every available gravel pit
and just as soon as engines can be Sc
cured more gravel trains are to lie put
on to rush the ballasting of the road
he'd. There is so much material com
ing in over the new road that all the
sidetracks between here and Galconda
are filled with ears ready to be sent
out on the line as soon as needed.
There is much activity in the termi-
nal yard at this place. The round
house, shops, store room, oil house and
the other buildings are rapidly nearing
