ROOT WAS WILLING Secretary of War Assumes Responsibility For Payments to Gen. Gomez. CONDITIONS WARRANTEDTHE ACT It Is Given Out Now That the Payments Were Dictated by Wise Statesmanship— Official Discussion of a Case Which Attracts Attention. Washington, June 17. —Secretary Root has assumed full responsibility for 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 furnish what he regards as the most convincing proofs that the payments were dictated by the wisest statesmanship. Congress will probably insist on knowing why such large sums were paid to the former Cuban leader. The payments were made out of the Cuban funds, but as these funds were being administered by the United States, congress feels that it ought to have all the facts. ( At the war department a high official stated the position of the department in the matter as follows: “The conditions in Cuba two years ago were precarious. Not a Cuban believed that the United States government ever would withdraw from Cuba, and the 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 a cent of pay. General Wood thought, and Secretary Root thought afterward, that General Gomez was entitled to consideration, to a home which was supplied him and in which he entertained 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. 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 its acts, of a bill providing a liberal pension for General Gomez. It Is believed that but for this assump- ‘ tion of the costs of Gomez's living expenses, the conditions in Cuba must have paralleled those in the Philippines. and the United States government. 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, in Secretary Root’s view, the only other point was the legality and propriety of the payments. He soon satisfied himself that there w as not the slightest doubt on that score. The military governor was obliged to assume the responsibility for his disbursements and to exercise his discretion. General Brooke did this and after him General Wood, and Secretary Root now fully approves of everything they did, including the payments to Gomez.” It is pointed out at the war department as a curious fact that congress has been in full possession of the information that Gomez had been receiving those payments for no less than two years past. The war department that far back submitted to congress the full statement of all expenses in Cuba and included in the list was a statement of the payments to General Gomez. A RELIGIOUS WAK Anti-Mormon Crusade In Kentucky I,ea<ls to Bloodshed. Paducah, Ky„ June 17. —The people of the Davis chapel section of Marshall county were thrown into great excitement yesterday by a fusilade of bullets being fired into a Mormon meeting by some of the opposers in the neighborhood. Hardy Lamb was shot In the leg. The Mormon converts, fifteen or sixteen, returned the fire, and more bloodshed is feared. Less than a year ago the Mormon church there was burned and two elders driven away. Since then the feeling has been high and culminated in resort to force to break up the services, which were being held under an arbor. The Mormons declare they will continue to hold their meetings, and have reported the attack to the grand jury. Early Heroes Remembered. Lafayette. Ind..

tffi.DE WZI’S ADVICE £oer Hero Admonishes His Followers to New Things London, June 16.—Dispatches received here from South Africa show that the surrenders of Boers are proceeding with the greatest gotM will. The total of those who have already surrendered numbers 16,500, and the British are extending every possible kindness to the men who come in. The appearance of General DeWet at the camp at Winburg was the signal for a great, display of enthusiasm. When he arrived at the camp General DeWet was at once surrounded by thousands of Boer men, women and children, who struggled and clamored to shake the hand of their hero. General DeWet mounted a table and delivered an address. He warmly applauded the staunch support that the women had given the burghers during the war which, he said, had greatly encouraged the men in the field. Continuing, General DeWet recommended his hearers to be loyal »o the new government, and said: “Perhaps it is hard for you to hear this from my mouth, but God has decided. thus. I fought until there was no more hope of upholding our cause, and however bitter it may be, the time has now come to lay down our arms. As a Christian people God now demands that we be faithful to our new government. Let us submit to his decision.” Neither General DeWet nor General Stein, former president of the Orange Free State, was ever wounded during the war. General DeWet has not seen his wife for two years. The repatriation committee, which has been termed to assist the Boers in returning to their farms, has a gigantic task before it. The concentration camps will be converted into supply depots to provide the returning burghers with the means to rebuild and restock their farms. The wives and families of the Boers will, if desired, be maintained at the expense of the government while the burghers are preparing the farms for their reception. MUST BE GOOD Troops Will Remain at Pawtucket Until Peace Returns. Pawtucket. R. 1., June 17. —When in the opinion of ten prominent citizens, including Mayor Fitzgerald and Chief of Police Rice, tranquility has been restored in place of mob rule, the militia ordered here last Thursday by Governor Kimball in connection with the streetcar strike, will be withdrawn. This conclusion was reached at a meeting between Governor Kimball. Brigadier General Tanner and fifty business men at the state armory yesterday. With the exception of three cases of stone throwing the day was quiet. Cars were operated on all local lines in this city during the day and in Central Falls as usual, but were withdrawn last night. The troops now on service will be relieved by others. In this way the entire body of militia in this state will be given service. A FATAL MIX-UP Trains Come Together With Deadly Force In Tennessee.

Young Queen Recovering, Berlin, June 17. —Queen 'Wilhelmina of Holland is convalescing at Castle Schaumburg in the valley of the I>ahn. She drives out daily with the queen mother and is recovering her color. The young queen smilingly acknowledges the greetings of the wayfarers whom she passes. Emperor William sent word a week ago that he intended to visit the queen, but her majesty felt so badly at that time that she asked the emneror to defer his coming. Chase Abandoned. Portland.

Siiuple and Effective, bnt Costly, “When 1 came to town, I noticed a little, round swelling on my wrist,” said a visitor from the country, "It bothered me, and one day when I saw a sign. 'Dr. John Doe,’ I thought I’d go in and have it looked at. Well, 1 was shown into a tine room, and in a minute a pleasant looking man came in. "’Dr. Doe?’ I says and held up my wrist. ’’ ‘Ab, a weeping sinew,’ says be, as if he’d been waiting years for a chance to study ii case like mine. ”1 didn’t say anything, but kept my wrist out with the hand hanging limp while he took down a book from the shelf. I expected him to turn over the pages and look up my trouble under 8 or W and then prescribe something. Instead he gave me a crack on the wrist like a thousand of brick! It was right on the swelling and hurt like a cannon ball. I jumped high in the air and yelled. “ ‘Your weeping sinew’s gone,’ says the doctor quietly. ‘Three dollars.’ “I was too much surprised to say a word, and I paid it. But no wonder your city doctors get rich. Three dollars! Any blacksmith would have done that job for the fun of doing it.”— New York I'ost. Stranwe IlldiiiK Places. There are standing at the present day Elizabethan houses known to contain hidden chambers. The very positions of these chambers can be shown, yet their secrets have remained inviolate for centuries, the spring that should serve as the open sesame being undlscoverable. Some day the accidental touch of a girl’s finger may set a column of stone rotating or a panel sliding or a door in a picture frame retreating on invisible binges, and the secret —if any remain—will be revealed. The place of mystery in these ancient granges that served as shelter to a friend in distress might equally prove the death of an enemy of the house. The priest’s hole behind a fireplace was easily converted into an oven. There were staircases which the foot pf a friend might press in perfect security. Another, not instructed how to tread, sets his foot apparently on the same place, the stair yawns open, and at the end of the pit is the water. Here is much romance.—London Chronicle. Excluded Him.
