Senor Mnmiet SangulUy. provided for the
abolition of the grade of general-ln-chlef ,
bill nn amendment , was offered to this by
Senor Aeuerro , which read : "To abolish
the grndo of gonur.il-ln-chlof nnd romavo
Getiornl Gomez for failure In his military
duties nnd disobedience to the assembly. "
Senor 'Aguerro dcclaiuil that Gomez was
Insubordinate nnd should bo punished nnd
Senor Sangullly Insinuated that the gen
eral wna a traitor to Cuba. Much passion
nns evident In the speeches , in some of
which Gomez was declared to have been
ilcllmniont In hla duties , and delinquent be
cause ho had ncrepted the proposition of
Hobtrt P. I'oitcr , without consulting the
assembly ; because hu had taken upon him
self the arrangements for the payment and
disarming of the Cuban troops Independently
of the assembly , and because ho had de
clared that ho would observe the assembly's
rulings Insofar ns ho considered them bene
ficial to Cuba.
"Suck. " IN > t ! ! ! ;
The assembly then declared that the $3-
000,000 Is Insufficient nnd It has not yet ac
cepted the proposition. The discussion of
this question will soon bo taken up , now
that General Gomez has been removed.
Senor Gonzales do Quesada , who accom
panied 'Mr. 'Porter ' In Cuba , was attacked
1 > y Senors Oualberto Gomez , Sangullly and
Aguerro , mho declared that he had acted
in bad 'faith ' and had deceived them. Senor
Aguerro likened the present conditions con
fronting the nbsembly to these that con
fronted the French Chamber when It was
jiroposed to Impeach President 'MncMahon. '
Colonel Mora nnd General Nunez declared
that the present step was useless nnd would
inako the assembly ridiculous In the eyes
of the world. Among the principal speakers
weio Sonars Sungullly , Aguerro , Gualbcrto
Gomez , Cespedcs , Nunez , Vlllnlon and Las-
tra.
General Gomez received at Mollnos this
afternoon a telegram announcing to Jilm the
assembly's decision. Ho answered calmly :
"All rlfiht , I enjoy the situation. "
Ho then came to Havana to keep a dinner
engagement with his daughter at the house
of a friend.
Olilnlu Illegally.
Ocnoial Carlllo of General Gomez's staff
and commander of the Sixth army corps re
ported that ho la now engaged In writing
a document discharging from the assembly
these members who repiesent that army ,
declaring that they obtained their posts as
army representatives Illegally.
At the termination of the session of the
assembly Senor I > astra strongly criticised
some of President Andrade's rulings and
was sharply called to order by President
Andrade , who immediately decided the
meeting over.
Senor Santa Maria , formerly president of
the Cuban republic , 'was ' the second man
signing the Snngullly motion for Impeach
ment ns amended by Senor Aguerro.
The news c'f ' the action of the assembly is
nil over Havana nnd the cafes are full of
excited men discussing the matter. The
general Impression Is one of censure of the
assembly. The next session of the body will
bo held Monday. The surrendered arms of
the Cubans will , under agreement , bo stored
away at Havana nnd Santiago In the general
custody of Uho United States , but under the
Immediate charge of Cubans In the employ
of the military government. Every Cuban
soldier must give up his arms , even If they
wore boiifjlit 'by ' himself , or else he will re
ceive no share of the money advanced by
the United States.

SANTIAGO , Cuba , March 1. The Anglo-

1'lulii I'ai'lNVorlli Coi
For the past six years , up to twelve months
ngo , I was a perfect wreck nnd slave to
coffeo. It kept mo In a prostrated con
dition continually.
Gradually my heart became affected , and
I suffered Intense pain In the left sldo and
over the region of the heart.
Every now and then had nervous spells
that laid mo up for weeks at a time. I
was also troubled with shortness of breath
whenever I exerted myself In any way.
I could not Ho on my left sldo and my
Bleep was bioken with severe pains and
mnothcrlng sensations. The doctor told mu
that It was coflco dunking.
I put mjfcclf under his treatment but did
not leave elf the coffee , nnd na I obtained
no help , became despondent and gloomy.
Hy chance I learned of the Postum Food
Coffee , and concluded I would try and quit
the cofteo habit nnd use Postum. After n
week's time J felt greatly Improved , nnd
continued using the Postum and am still
\islng it. My nppetlto returned to mo an4
1 gradually regained my health and
btrongth , nnd am now as well and hearty
as I OUT was , I have had no return of my
heart trouble since using 1'ciUum.
1 do not understand that Postum Is in
any way a medicine , but that It Is a food ,
whereas the ordinary coffee Is a very power
ful drug , as shown in my case and many
othcr.3.
Two of my near neighbors were addicted
to coffee , and It treated them much as It
did juo. They are Mrs. M. N. Powell and
Mrs. Mary Pitts.
When they .found what n change had
been made In ano by leaving oft coffee nnd
using Postuun , they throwaway their old
coftMi pots , got some new ones and began
to ueo Postum. The first time they tried It.
they did not llko It very well , but they
Boon found that they had not allowed It to
boll long enough. ( Now they are two na
healthy ladles as you over saw , rosy and
well ; their physical aches and Ills all gone.
They sleep and eat well and seem to enjoy
Hfo better than they ever did before. Mrs.
ISmtna Harris , Purls , Miss.

One thing noticed Is the falling off of the
attendance of young Cuban society men al
many of these entertainments , which a few
weeks ngo they seemed so willing and
anxious to attend. This Is said to bo due
to the antagonistic feeling which Is alleged
to bo growing up among the Cubans toward
the Americans.

1HSHUN , March 11. Although Kobert P.
Porter , slnco his arrival here , has repeat
edly announced to the official world nnd the
press that his mission is In no way au
thorised by hU government , his stay hero
has attracted considerable attention and Is
productive of good results.
The Krouzo Xcltung takes exception to
the fact that Mr. Porter has nowhere hinted
at American concessions nnd says :
"Under such conditions It would be diffi
cult for Germany , to conclude n commercial
treaty with the United States. "
The commercial nnd liberal press , how
ever , hall Mr. Porter's declarations with
satisfaction. The Cologne Gazette Bays :
" \Vo iiellevo the statements of Mr. Porter
ter have done both couutrles great service ,
similar to ono Baron von Uuclow did the
other day In pointing out things favorable
to a friendly Intercourse between Germany
nnd America. * * The government will
not follow the agrarians Into tariff war
fare unless the road to a commercial treaty
Is blocked , and the quiet and thoughtful
manner In which Influential Americans have
been lately discussing matters permits no
hope that such obstacles will arise. "
At the instance of the government Mr.
Porter this week explained the now tariffs
of Cuba and Porto Hico to a commission
of experts. iMr. Porter explains that a
disciepancy exists between the figures of the
exports and Imports of Germany and the
United States furnished to the United States
treasury and these apparently drawn from
German olllclal sources and quoted In the
agrarian press. This explains the differ
ent conclusions reached.
The forepart of the week was spent by
Mr. Porter at Madgeburg studying the sugar
question from the German point of view.
A man principally Interested In the sugar
Industry told ( Mr. Porter that It was hoped
that the United States would waive the dis
criminating tariff on German sugar as a
preliminary condition to the conclusion of
a commercial treaty. He also furnished
statements apparently showing that the
large. German manufacturers can produce
sugar ns low as 2 cents a pound , which ,
If true , will enable them to compete with
Cuban sugar.
Changes which have been contemplated
In the administration of the navy , which
have been considered for a long time , will
go Into effect on the retirement of Ad
miral von Knoor , the present chlf of the
navy. The emperor will then assume com
mand of the navy as ho has assumed that
of the army and an admiralty nnd general
staff will be created with functions similar
to the army general staff , the admiralty to
have a separate chief , while the functions
and Importance of the commanders of the
naval station at Kiel nnd Wllhelmshaven
will be enlarged. The naval cadet sys
tem will bo reorganized and the number
of cadets Is about to be doubled.
Interesting tests of wireless telegraphy
have been made at Kiel recently on board
a number ofwar vessels , three German
miles apart. On the whole the experi
ments have been successful.

LONDON , March 11. London has been
favored with Ideal spring weather during
the last week and there has been a marked
diminution of Influenza.
The marquis of Salisbury caught n bad
cold while returning from Windsor on tha
occasion of the formal presentation of the
United States ambassador , Mr. Joseph II.
Choate , to the queen , nnd he has been con
fined to his house ever since. The premier
is unable to preside at the cabinet meetings
or to hold the usual reception of the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps. Thus Mr.
Chonto has not yet called formally at the
foreign office. Sirs , Choato has been In
undated with Invitations to social events
which nra about to take place. All the am
bassadors have left their cards.
The absence of the queen and the prince
of Wales respectively from the opening
drawing room nnd levee of the season has
given rise to much criticism nnd a great
deal of giumbllng among society people.
As one of the papers saya , "This Is one of
the duties belonging to the throne nnd to
the heir and the public , which pays the piper ,
expects ro > nl music. "
Another paper says : "Outside of the
charmed circle of the Marlboroughs and
Manchesters there Is n very smart American
set In London now , Ladles Abluger and
Oxford , Mrs. Offby Sorester , whoso daughters
were the belles of the Hlvlera season last
year ; Mrs. Blake , Mrs. Alfred Paris , who Is
holding the most pleasant weekly recep
tions In Chesham street , nnd Mesdames
Balcheler and Freeman Schulgo of Phila
delphia.
London will lose one of Its most popular
beauties during the trip of Lady Mary Sack-
vlllo to visit Mr. and Mrs. George J. 'Gould
next month.
Much Space to KlplliiK.
The newspapers hero still pay considerable
attention to the progress toward recovery
made by Iludynrd Kipling. The Times on
Friday published prominently a set ofverses
after the style of "The Barrack Iloom
Ballads , " nnd supposed to be from "Tommy
Atkins to Kipling on His Illness. " The last
verse ran :

But we. 'ardiy 'oped you'd turn his Hank ;
they said you 'ardly could ,

The bill of Harold James Rcckltt ,
liberal member for the Brlgg division of
Lincolnshire , raising the flash point of
petroleum from 73 to 100 , is the result of a
bitter campaign waged by certain evening
papers against the "deadly low flash. " it
comes before the House of Commons next
Wednesday and will meet with strong op-
pcsltlon , Its opponents contending that the
originators of the agitation against the
American oils are the Scotch petroleum re
finers. 'Moreover , it is shown that many
of the accidents during the last year wore
not duo to American oil , tout to Russian
oil , whose test point is 103. The bill , it Is
declared , seeks to compel the public to use
oils which apparently have been but little
favored by the people up to now and favora
Russia at the expense of America.
International oil Trust.
Three representatives of an American
syndicate are over here negotiating for a
combination of the English and American
oil mills. They expect to carry the schenio
through , and In about three months' tlmo
there will > be the 'biggest ' trust ever formed
on this sldo of the Atlantic , Involving capi
tal to the amount of $75,000,000. The idea
Is that each side abandon competition on
the other's ground and come to a working
arrangement regarding the continental
business , especially that of southern Europe
in oil and seed cake. The oil milling In
dustry here is confined to Hull , Liverpool
and London. Hull | 3 the principal center ,
but Liverpool has the largest concern of the
kind in the world.
The lord mayor of London , Sir John Voce
Moore , presided at a meeting held nt the
Mansion house this week to further the pro
posed national commemoration In 1S01 of
the ono thousandth anniversary of the
death of King Alfred. The queen has given
the movement her patronage nnd the
memorial will take the form of a bronze
statue of King Alfred , to bo erected In his
royal city of Winchester. The United States
ambassador wrote regretting that hh visit
to the queen at Windsor on the day of the
meeting prevented him attending.
The secretary , who Is a former mayor of
Winchester , announced that a committee
had been formed in 'America ' to co-operate
with the movement hero and that its mem
bers include Colonel John Hay , the secre
tary of state ; Bishop Potter and the presi
dents of Vale nnd Johns Hopkins universi
ties. King Alfred being the founder of
Great Britain's maritime supremacy , a naval
display will be held and the largest armored
cruiser In the world , to bo launched in
1901 , will bo christened King Alfred.
Wolvesey castle , the ancient residence of
the English kings near Winchester , will bo
secured as n memorial
museum. The sum
of 30.000 ( $150,000) , ) is asked for to carry
out the whole scheme.
Shamrock Taking : Form.
P. Fife , Jr. , the yacht designer , has been
in London frequently during the last few-
weeks , studying the lines of the Shamrock
as it grows into shape. He has not modified
his plans In the slightest detail , evidently
being as pleased with its appearance ns an
actual boat ns hoas with the designs , The
woikmen have now succeeded in surmount
ing the worst difficulties In working the
Manganese plates , several of which were
ruined during the first attempts to do so.
But the work JB now proceeding smoothly ,
though slowly. It Is expected , however , that
the yacht could bo ready if desired by the
end of May.
The name , Golden Uod , which it is said
will bo given to the America's cup de
fender , is rather startling to Englishmen ,
most of whom never heard of the American
( lower. The Yachting World says : "No
fault can be found with the name ; but all
the same it is unpleasantly suggestive of a
beating for Sir Thomas Llpton , "
The owner of the Shamrock returns from
the nivlora on March 1C , when the date of
the launch of the cup challenger will bo
fixed.
The Dally Telegraph announces that It will
shortly start a Sunday edition. It will only
bo an experiment , nnd except for the Now

graph will bo the first London paper to have
a seven days' issue.
The success of the theatrical world at

London Is flocking. IA
The criticisms of "A Lady of Quality" as

LONDON , March 11 ( New York World
Cablegram Spe Inl Telegram. ) The Count'
ess Uusscll , ns stated In n previous dlS'
patch , appears In a gaiety touring compnnj
n the principal girl In "A Uunawny Girl"
at the Plymouth. Monday. Her appearance
on the professional stage Is of exceptional
Interest , because she Is the first Engllsn
countess to take 'to ' the boauls because othet
beauty and stormy nnd romantic cm ear ami
repeated fruitless efforts to obtain a divorce
from her husband , the curl of Hussell , for
cruelty. I found Countess llussell rehcarslns
at the Gaiety theater and had a chat with
lier In the intervals between her turns. She
said :
"I don't want to take up "Id scandals.
Whatever differences I had with my husband
belong to the past. But since jou ask why I
made up my mind to gj on the stage , I
must speak the truth. It Is because It Is
necessary. Had Earl llussell made provision
for mu It might have been otherwise. "
The countess is accompanied by licr
mother. Lady Scott , who figured so prom
inently in the litigation against the earl. The
latter Is the widow ot Sir Samuel Scott of
Inn famous banking firm. The countess
looked liandsomo. She Is slim of figure ,
under middle height , with nn abundance of
wavy chestnut hair and a pair of fine brown
eyes with n spirited expression.
"It has always been nn nmbltlon of mine , "
she said , "to visit the states , for I count so
many charming Americans amongst my
friends that I naturally want to sco their
wonderful country. If I score n success in
"A Runaway Girl" I hope to have an op
portunity of crossing the Atlantic to play a
part there. I nm waiting to sco how the
experiment turns out. "
"It won't bo the first tlmo you appeared
on the stage ? "
"In a professional capacity , yes , though
I hnvo played frequently as an amateur. The
critics were very kind to me when I per
formed In a pantomime rehearsal as nn
amateur at the Royalty theater. A fe'\
years ngo , when skirt dancing became a
fashionable hobby , all my friends agreed
In saying my ability as a dancer was far
above the average , and as for music , I am
very fond of it. That's why I preferred a
musical comedy. "
"But you played in pure comedy ? "
"Yes , frequently , but my personal tastes
always run In the direction of bright musi
cal pieces which make you forget your
troubles. Heaven knows life has enough sorrows
rows without going to seclc them In a
theater. "
"How came you to play In "A Runaway
Girl ? "
"It was llko this. A friend of mine
mentioned my name to Mr. Edwaids , ns >
ono who could fill a part for -which there
was a vacancy. Edwards at > kcd mo to re
hearse before him. He was more than
pleased , and there and then engaged me fern
n thirteen weeks' tour. I llko the work Im
mensely and shall get fonder of it. The
only difficulty I have Is to get my memory
In proper working order. Songs and dances
I do all right , but the dialogues In pieces of
this kind are peculiarly difficult to remem
ber. If'by hard work I overcome these
difficulties , I shall win and take up the
theatrical profession seriously. "
"And if you fall ? "
She shrugged her shoulders and said :
"I only want to bo Judged fairly , and feel
sure ot success In that event. "

ances nor encouragement for any given.
Several of the officials selected Thursday
night have qualified and tlio active pre
liminary work will begin nt once.
The statement of policy follows ;
As to prospective appointments to
ofllce , the services of no moiu Btalf officers
can bo utilized nt present und them will bo
no others selected within thlily da > s. Prot
Henry Gannett , the well known geographer
of the geological surrey , who was ilie po
litical and statistical geographer of the last
census , has been asked to take charge ot
the samu woik for the cowing census and
It the geological survo ) Is wining lo spar
him sulllcleutly to undertake this woik he
will bo entrusted with It and given tin
absolutely free hand. Until the tchedules
eomo back to the office fzoni the enumer
ators lu July , 1MO , there will be 110 clerks
wanted , b.ivo such a small skeleton force
us will ho necesBury to take care ot the
correspondence and office vvoik preliminary
to the taking ot the census.
When the schedules tome back there will
bo a largo force of employes appointed. All
applications for ofllco will locolvo consider
ation and a large number already have been
received and placed on file.
! \o lliiMiiuiccnl.i .Norcl Aplily.
While the impression has gone abro.nl that
the census Is to bo a refuge for Incom-
petcncy , the truth and the actual facts a.-e
that all applicants will be aubjected to ex
amination before appuititmciit , which will
bo us rigid ns the examination before the
civil service commission. No political In-
lluenco will be sufficient to jvut an emplojo
on the census pay rolls of whoso competency
to do the woik to bo assigned him the
director is not satisfied In advance. And ,
fin thei more , If any emploje Is found lo be
Incompetent on trial such employe will bo
discharged regardless of his nr her political
backing. The examination of employes will
be directed , not so much for the testing of
their general information and capacity as
It will be to their fitness for the work to
bo done , as , for example , no person who
cannot write or spell satisfactorily will be
appointed , nor calculators who cannot cal
culate.
First ot nil , after the general administra
tive officers are selected , there must bo MO
supervisors appointed and in their selection
consultation will bo had with senators and
representatives In the respective states. It
may bo announced also that senators nnd
leiircsentatlves who do not belong to the
republican party will receive the same fair
treatment and consideration along this line
that Is given icpubllcnns. These supeivisors
will be appointed by the president and con
firmed by the senate. None of these as now
contemplated are to bo recess appointments ,
but the list will be ready for submission to
the senate at the opeiilug of the next ses
sion.
Print IIIK mill Ijiiiplo } rs Xt'constiry.
The supervisors In tinn will appoint 10,000
enumerators to do the actual work through
out the country , but the list of appoint
ments of enumerators first must have the
approval of the director of the census. After
approval they will bo immediately furnished
the necessary blanks and Instructions. This
will 3 no small task. Assuming the popu
lation of the United States at this time to
be , in round numbers. 00,000,000 people ,
there must bo 100,000 sheets Issued for the
population schedules nlonc. Adding to these
the other schedules there will have to bo
in the aggregate not leis than HOO.OOO such
sheets In printed form issued. All this mass
of paper will have to be manufactured and
printed without delay. In counting the
population every individual will be repre
sented by n separate card and there will
have to bo manufactured and printed not
less than 100,000,000 of these cards.
The probability Is that a system of ma
chine calculating which admits of counting
facts in combination nnd which worked so
well in the last censm will bo adopted for
that of 1900. The olliro will have to select
from the various devices the ono most sat
isfactory and a sufficient number to do the
woik must then bo manufactured. The work
will bo pushed with all possible speed con
sistent with accuracy , and every ctfort made
to avoid dragging the work along unneces
sarily.
Taken nil in all , the complete number of
appointments that will bo made in the
course of the census will bo over 4.,000.
These Include eighteen or twenty staff offi
cers , 300 supervisors , 10,000 enumerators and
about 3,000 clerks nnd other employes here.
