The Coinnander-Iin-ohlef of te Cubanl Ar ay, who has all Along been Holding Back Against the Iteconatruction of Cub% Under United Staten Mili tary Ittle and iDentaatilung I*ay for Ilis Troops, Yil1s to the Arganents of Robort P. Porter. Remedios, Province of Santa Cla ra, February 1, via Havana, Febru ary 2.-Gen. Maximo Gomez, the commander-in-chiof of the Cuban army, placed himself squarely in po sition today as an active ally of tho United Et-ites Government in the work of the reconstruction of Cuba. As a result of the conference which R. P. Porter, the special commission er of President McKinley, has had with Gon. Gomez the ItLi'i: Otble'd to President McKinley this afternoon assuring him of his co operation in disbanding the Cuban army, and in distributing among the Cuban sol diers the $3,000,000 appropriated for the purpose of enabling themn to re turn to their homes. Gen. Gomez also telegraphed to Major Gen. Brooke saying he would act.opt the latter's invitation to go to Havana. The success of Mr. Porter's mission greatly simplifies the roturning of the military Cubans to the pursuits of peace. in view of Gen. Gomez'ssipposed prior attitude of. hostility toward the United States Mr. Porter came here clothed with absoln'o authority, and the tendor of the tender of the $3, 000,000 was practically a verbal ul tiiba'um. Had it not been accepted no more ultimatums would have been made. Mr. Porter made plain the purpose of the Government and was gratified at the ready response of Gen. Go moz. The conference took place at the house here occupied by the Cu ban general as his headquarters since coming to town. When Mr. Porter arrived here last -week he was accompanied by Senor Gonzales Quesada, the special com missioner uf the Cuban Junta at Washington; Capt. CaMnpbell, of 'Gen. Brooke's staff; Licut. Hanna, .of Gen. Wood's staff, and a corres pondent of the Associated Press. The Cuban commander was cordial :in greeting Mr. Porter and opened the interview by raferring to the .change for the botter which had tak .en place in Cuba since he was last Ihore in September. He also laid -srs on the fact that some people 'wero asking whero was Cuba's prom. lisedl liberty. "The answer to this," said Mr. iPorter, "is that Cuba nowv has coim unercial and industrial liberty and that President McKinley has direct ed me, in framing the Cuban tariff, to make no discrimination in favor of the United States in the manner that Spain favored houself. Cuba is free today to buy in the cheapest market. P9ople areoreturning to the pursuits of peace and our military government will give way to the civil government as fast as possible." Mr. Porter also said that the pur pose of the American Government is to lay a firm foundation of noble government for Cuba, to give the Cubans all the liberties they had fought for, and that Gen. Gomez must remember that and more still. For instan.o, there are 25i,000 or 30, 000 Spanish soldiers at Cienifuegos, who have not left Cuba, that we hnd os.ly been a month on the island, anud that President McKinley needed and was entitled to the co opera. tion of all interested in the welfare andl future of Cuba, andi that he uoedod the co-operation of Gen. Go moz above all others. The first problem Mr. Portor then pointed out was the disbandment of the Cubani army and the return of the Cuban soldiers to wvork. This -wa-s the specific mission which had brought Mr. Porter to Rlemedios, and in which President McKinley ex pected Gen. Glomez's aid. Trhe Cuban commander- in.chief -replied that lie was ready and wil ling to give the aid required, but :asked how he could do so. Tio this Mr. Porter replied that P'rosident McKinley would be glad to bavo himl go to Havana and co operato with Gen. Brooko in dis banding the Cubans and in paying over t: o $3,000,000 appropriated for that purpose. Gen. Gonez said the amount was too small, but that was not his fault, and he would make it go as far as possible, while likening it to the mlir ac0 of the lIves and filhes. "No man in history," sid Mir. Porter, "has dono so much with so small resources as you have done. Honce your co oporation with Gen. Brooko will bring good results." Gon. Gomez especially requested that the mioney for which Mr. Por ter had ordors iii his pocket should bo paid over to Gen. Brooke, and not himself, as he did not want the personal responsibility of keopintg it. The Cuban general then assured Cnpi.. Campbell of his good leelings to Gon. Brooke, and the formal com pact was presented to Gonez by Mr. Porter and was assented to by (en. Golaez. In brief the con.pact is as follows: 1. Tho Cubrni oflicerj in elI province shall assis, the American oflicors in dist'ribiuting the flinds. 2. That these oflicers shall af once meet at some coniveniint point and doviso how, whenl and where the payments are to ho made, and ar range any other details. 3. That the sum1 paid to each man shall not be regard,d as part payment of salary or wages duo for service rendered, but to facilitate the disbandnent, of the army, as a re lief of siuf'ering, and as an aid in go' ting the peopl!o to work. 4. The Cuban shall surrender their arms to the Cuban Assembly or to its representat ive. 5. The committee on distribn tion sihall use its best endeavors to distribute it among the population so that all may securo work. 6. That tho $3,000,000 shall be placed subject to the order of Gon. Brooke, and that action in the mat ter shall be immediate. Gen. Gomuez wis tendered a pub lic recoption this evening and Mr. Porter was among those present. GOMVz's LETTER TO M'KINLEY. Remedios, Province of Santa Cla ra, February 2, via Canmajuan.-Im mediatoly aflor yesterday's confer ence Gen. Gomez wrote the follow ing letter to PrexiAont McKinley in Spanish:' "Republic of Cuba, Headquarters of the Army, Rlemnedios, February 1, 1899.- President McK itnley, Wash ington: It has been a great p)lehs ure to me to confer wit 1h your com missioner, Mr. Porter, introduced by my friend, Quesada, and1( I am now aware of anid pleased with youw wishes.

"Maximo Gomoez, Geoneral." Today Glen. Glomez is preparirg for the trip) to Havana. The whole attitude of the old lighter is much more cordial than was ainticipatod by Mr. Porter. He told the latter he wvas proud to receive the special com missioner of heo.President, and he is evidently much gratiied1 at the pIror pet of thle early solution of the dis bandmoent problom.

To the people of South Carolina: Since mnaunifostos, addresses and exposes are in order in South Car,, lina, I have d'ecided to have a word to Hay. The star player in the recent performances has boon writing his own plays, criticising and damning all others while painting his own part in glowing colors without ro gard to the truth or tLo interests of any save himself. I have decided it to be my duty to keop quite no longer wbile he is allowed weekly to exploit himself and, his actions through the loading newspapers of our State. I shall confine myself to a SatUteme1nt of facts that can ho fully substantiated by the entire dolega. tion in congress, and, in fact, all who had an opportunity from the 01sido to observe closely the trend of mattOis (uring the last six years. Thm people of Sout.h Carolina have a right L, know what i- now and what has been going on behind the cur tain. And when they havo learned all the facts they will be s1oW to make upI) their minds. The address recently issued by Mr. W. A. Nvl, it is well knowv, was not written by him. He WIIs sick at the time and could not judge for him self what the effect would be, nor how despiciahle it made him appear in the oos of both friends and fovs. It is Well known that it wits written by Jobm L. McLaurin, who listened down to Columbia from Washington and as hurriedly came away after he had ponned this infamous slander, an instrument of apostacy, and in duced Neal, poor, sick follow, to sign it. Along with other mimbers of the South Carolina delegation in con gress, I have been snbjected to the treachery and undermining tacties of the junior senator from our Stato so long tat I had almost become used to it and did not xexpect to have any thing moro to say dtiring the short period n which I will remain in public ]ife. Bi there is such an ont Iageou-ly falso Iccasation against the vtiri delegatiori in the Neal McLauria address thlat I cnnot longer romain silont. McLaurin 1has his commission as senator uintil 1903, and1( beC may foel that he can slander us with impunity but I, at least will not submit in si lence. McLaurin makes Neatl charg'e: "In 1894 I was invited to go to WVashingtoni to attenid a conference. I was present in Irby's committee room when it was5 agreed to make John Gary Evans governor of South Carolina. There was only one man wvho raised his voice against it in pro test. I was a witnoss to the scone when he wi' hdreow in anger from the conference." Thlero was no need for him to go back four years to make an accusationi or there being a ring in Wasinmgioni at. tlho time which was running Sut h Carol in a's 1po1i ties. He mado poor Neal sign a falsehood, knowing at. the time him. self that it was a falsehtood, and1( his only' puIrpio could be to injure the delegation hcere in the eyes of tihe petoplet. Nowv, the facts are these, and I will be suistinedi m my state mont by every mnembter wvho partici patod, as well as by Senator Tilhnan, who was at. 1110 meeting mentioned he being governor then: Irby called a meet ing of the dlele'gat ion wit hout le'iting us knto v what lhe wanted with us. Tillmatn, Neal anid Evanus were present. As soon as the meet iiig op)ened McLjaurini mnitioned that K(oeiter, t hen (editinig Thei I"Ngister, and BowdePn, t wo prominent South Carolinians, thben in WVashington, onght to be adlmited to our council. Irby andt McLaurin were then net on good terms on account of a scanda' involving McLaurini, of which I will not speak here, because it is too, nauiseatinig, andi they began to quiar rol, I rby declaring thait he would niot have anything to do with a Populist, and before anything was dlone, or the purpoio for which we had( been brought together mentioned, Mc inurin angrily left the roon, saying he would "stand by his friends." Matters having assumed this shape, Latimer, Talbert and myself memntbers of t ho house, also loft., and there was not one word said about running John (Iary Evans for Gov. ornor. McLaurin . has bocoimO so notorious himsolf for holding con iorences and planning political deals, and is by nature such a trickster and conspirator, that I presumeo he foole called upon to charge such thing3 to others. lie was in the "Forty movooeit," which has for its object the destruction of the Reform party. He begged Laf imer, Talbert and myself to join him in a Populist man'festo to the people of the State in 1894, s-.ying that tho people would rally behind that banner if we would join him. Ile denied this when he was running for the sOnate, but I can prove it by both the gen tlenm reforred to. Ito cursed and danied the dispensary law during the Darlington riot, and wroto the "Doar Appelt letter" giving Sonator Tillman Ithe "Juab still);" yet when Tilinan catme hero afterwards he weIt to hint and hegged hinm nlot to fight him inl his congressional dis trict for congress, aid <lisclaimod in tending anyt.hing but friendship for him. Ho proimisod Bowden that he would run for governor in 1896 and encouraged Bowden to run for con gress. H inade Tom Rod believe he was in sympathy with the Repub lic-in party and thus obtained his position on the ways and means com mitteo abovo older and abler mem bers of the house. He hits beet in a way, trying to deliver the goods, and his tariff speech was a part do livery. His fawning around the president last summer and declara tion that McKinley wa1s the "m-st popular Prosident sinco Lincoln and ought. to uo renominated by accla. mation" in another part. All these things go to provo his absolute un. reliability and h8 uniterupulous a,n bition. He is a Democrat only bo causo he belieVes that is the wiay to gratify his ambition. I would go on and give instance after instance of his troachery to his colleagues, and of his trickory, but this is enough for installment.

I had in my company ono oflicer, Lieutei aut W. J. Lake, of Nowherry, S. C., and thirty-four enlisted miin. This roar lino was so constructed that I Could fire over Pogrin's men on the attacking enemy. The enemy in our front had two lines of works. He had moro men in his lino nonrest our works than we hald in% his front. From this nearest hie he tunnelled to and under Pegram's saliont, and depos ited in it magazino prepared for i(, not less than four tons of powder, some of their olicer. say it was six tons. We know tie enemy were mining and wo sunk a shaft on each sido of the four gun battery, ten flot or more deop, and then (xtonded the tunnicel som"o dislance to onr front. We were on a high hill, how over, and the enemy 510 feet in our front, where they began their work, consequently their mine was far nder tho shaft we sunk. At night when overything was still, we could hear the enemy's miners at work. While war means kill, Ihe idea of being blown into oternity without any warning was atnything but plati ant. TIAJ.

On that, terriblo Saturday morn ing, July 30, .1864, before day had yet dawned, after the enemy had massed a large numbet of troops in front of our guins, the fuse which was to ignite the mine was fired. The enomy waited fully an hour, but thoro was one explanation, the fuse had gone out. A bravo Federal oflicer, whose name I do not know, volunteored to enter the tunnel an(d fire it again, which he did. A minuto lator there wits a report which was heard for miles, ind the earth trembled for miles around. A crator one hundred and thirty foot long, nmiety-sovon feet in breadth and thirty foot doop, was blown out.
