m DECLINES 10 SERVE WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PAYMENT OF IT BANS. HE SO NOTIFIES GENERAL BROOKE. Old Warrior (Htm II Ik Krnnnii* llirrcfor. Brooke Will Now del On Ills Own Authority A special from Havana says: General Maximo Gomez informed Governor General Brooke Monday that he oould no louder uct as representative of the Cuban army in the diHtributiou of the S3,000,000 appropriated for the payment of the Cuban troops. General Gomez added that ho had arrived at this decision with great re ? *--- i -:n ?i._ i r..: li., lucinuve mm wmi mu iiiimi mvuuij feelings toward Oeuernl Brooko personally and officially, but bo felt he cop Id no longer represent the Cuban army because a cubal composed of many subordinate eoniinanders existed to oppose and, if possible, defeat the plans for partitioning the money. Ho explained that former members of the Cuban military assembly, led by Mayln Rodriguez., Mauuel Bangui!ly, Juan Oaulberto ami other malcontents, hud organized a majority of the officers against him apparently, and though ho (Gomez.) might persist and possibly carry the payment to a successful conclusion, he was disgusted and wished to wash his hands of the whole business. Therefore he thought best to leave General Brooke free, ns the latter could act with equal effectiveness. General Brooke expressed sympathy with General Gomez, and said he regretted the position he had taken. It was then mutually agreed that General Gomez, will issue a manifesto to the Cubnn ni-mv. Afterward General Brooke limy make a declaration concerning tho manner in which lie will proceed. He in determined not to he trifled with. He has the rolls of the private and non-commissioned officers who are willing to accept $75 each and this amount will be offered on the alternate e of forcible disarmament. In spite of the situation, brought about by the attitude of Gomez, stocks remain lirm, with a rising tendency. English syndicates are trying to buy all the railroads, aud nil offer of 10 per cent premium has been made for the Subauilla, Cardenas and Jucuro line, but this was refused. The local banks have received orders to buy all (stock offer, d. Gomez and the governor general feel that the privates ought not to lose their share in the American gratuity meiely beenuso the schemes of certain high officers in the Cuban army have interposed obstacles. The belief among the Americans is that the company officers will assist in this work. General Haooko's order will be disseminated through the newspapers, placarded in tho postoftices and given the widest circulation practicable. Monday afternoon Gomez wrote a histoiyof his relation to the army payment question. It concludes the correspondence that has passed between himself and the governor general and it is intended to make his position clear to the public and to contrast his conduct favorably with thut of other Cuban leaders.

Ho cited Washington and | the other southern commanders of the revolution, Wiutiebl Seott and Andrew Jackson and the other heroes of the war of 181'2, the southern generals who won fame in the war with Mexico, and then passing to the war between the states, he said: "While our civil war was, I may , truthfully assert, the most sanguinary recorded in history, it was also the most remarkable, us in it there was no element of personal hostility, and the soldiers as individuals, could not in the nature of things, have entertained feeling of hatred for each other. They fought not from revenge, not from malice, not from desire to shed blood, not from ambition, but simply because tlicy felt that there lay the path of duty." Memorial to Wliuiit* David.

RESOLUTIONS WERE REFERRED. | Mattvr of Carlos For Confederate Graves I Taken Up at Charleston Reunion. At first day's session of the United Confederate Veterans at Charleston, . 1 the following was read by General j Walker, introduced by General Stephen D. Lee: "Whereas, in Atlanta Ga., on December 20, 1898, the' president of the i United States of America gave utter- > auce to the seutimont that the time has come when the Uuited States , I should share in caring for the graves of the tho Confederate dead, and Whereas this utterance of the chief executive of the nation demands from, us the survivors of our dead comrades in arms a frank nml generous response , to so lofty nnd magnanimous sentiment; therefore bo it i 'Ttexolved, by the Uuited Coufed- " erate veterans in annual convention c assembled, That in this act of l'resi- t , dent McKiuley's, and in ita reception j l?y our brethren of the north we recognize autlioratative evidence that we 1 are again a united people and one in 1 d< termination to exhibit to the world i the gentler aa well as the sterner fruits , i of American cliaractor and that we accept the statements of ex- ' i ecutive in the spirit in which it ' , was made, believing that such legislation by the geneial government as he 1 has suggested would rIiow clearly the advnnco thnt the American people have achioved in those higlior virtues that adorn a great nation." A inotiou was made to adopt the report. Dr. J. William Jones moved as an amendment to refer it to the committee ou resolutions. A heated and almost bitter discussion followed. Dr. Jones' amendment was carried, however, practically unanimously, and the resolutions were re, ferred. The committee to which the resolution was referred spent several hours Thursday discussing the matter, and dually a compromise resolution was j 1: amed, to bo offered us a substitute. The resolution is to the effect that if the national government desires to care for the graves, the Confederate 1 veterans do not object to its taking j charge of those in the north and iu tho neighborhood of the old war prisons. The resolution further states that the south lias voluntarily undertaken to j decorate and properly preserve the graves in tho south, and the association does not feel warranted in taking from them what thev have crown to regard ub a duty.

As the arrangeucnts to pay the soldiers have been lending for three and a half months, 'urtber delay is especially annoying. Generals Hetancourt and Nodarne vere appointed to net for the Kighth irmy corps, but the latter declined to ierve, ami Major General Wilson, miliary governor of the newly formed Matanzas-Snnta ('lain department, isked that Betancourt be excused on die ground of his holding the post of ivil governor of Matauzus, suggesting io Governor General Brooke that General Carlos Rojas bo selected. The governor general thereupon wired Lienerul ltojns at Cardenas, and the alter accepted, arriving at Havana Saturday. General RoJrs called upon the gov prnor genera! and in tne course ol a pleasant interview promised to meet llie commissioners on Monday. ltojas then called upon General Gouic-Z, and. nn hour later wrote a note to General I'll a flee, General Brooke's chief of stall', declining to serve, hut giving no reason for his action. General Francisco Carrillo, one of the coinuiissioners of the Fifth army corps, arrived directly Friday, hut did not visit the American headquarters. The commissioners did not make their appearance and General Brooke sent Captain Page to inquire of Gome/ why none of the generals were on hand. In the interview with the governor general's representative the 'Cuban commander appeared indifferent, and seemed not to rare whether the commissioners came or not. lie made no suggestions. As the United States authorities are unable to begin the disbursement of I he money without the assistance of Hie Cubans, General Brooke is astonished at the indifference shown by Gomez. The evening papers assert that Gomez is dissatisfied with the terms at the governor general's order for payment, nud did not consent to have the arms of the disbunded troops placed in the custody of the military authorities. Saturday evening General Brooke sent Major Keuuon, of his staff, to see Gomez regarding the situuiiou. Gomez declared that he was iimihlc to explain why the general* won hi not serve, and expressed the belief that their action was due to the influence of his enemies.

A Washington dispatch says: Thousands of ignorant colored people in tbi9 country are being induced to believe that they are to be pensioned by the United States government upon being able to show that they were formerly slaves. The promoters of this scheme, which has the earmarks of u systematic attempt to extract money from creduloUH colored people by holding out to th< m false hopes of a government pension, have been at work for a number of years, and it is estimated that over 8150,000 has been collected by tbe self-constituted missionaries having the project in haud. The subject came to the surface a few days ago through correspondence between a colored teacher in 0110 of tho southern stales and a United btutes senator. The preacher wrote to the senator to inquire into tho matter, in view of tho fact that so many of the colored people iu his stato had been assessed to defrny the expenses of the proposed legislation. The senator, who is one of tho most inlluentinl members of that body, by reason of his long service (three terms) and his important committee assignments, instituted an investigation, and this is tho substance of findings which he reported to the colored divine who sought information 011 the subject: It appears that there has bet 11 in existence for about ten years,or more, an enterprise under tbe title of the "Kx-Sluve Mutual Relief Bounty and Pension Association of tho United States of America." This association lias its agents in eveiy state in tho Union for the purpose of locating, if possible, nil former slaves.

II. Dickerson is general manager. The circular is headed "Onward to Victory." It also contains a picture of General Manager Dickerson. It is addressed: "To All Local Kx-Slav.e Associations in the United States. We come greeting as general manager and promoter of the movement, which has hud so much opposition and more combats in its own circles than any other organization of the present day." Then follows special mention of the membership fee, 25 cents. Also the information that the national delegate in Washington is located at 475 Missouri avenue, and has secured the services of Attorney W. C. Lawson. The circular further appeals to every ex-slave to send his name, with the registration fee of 25 cents.
