13 PLAYING FOR BIG STAKES,
Tho Cuban Want IIIi Moti l'ald fur
Thrro Yoiri tit 'Aniorlntn Army Hutnt
III TrooM Urjjrd to st.iy Armed
t'nlll atvnri lltn Money.
Wahiiixoton, Fob. 1. -- Maximo
Gomca, tlio Cuban commander, hits
demanded nearly SCO, 000,000 from tho
United Stales und refuses to disband
his "nrmy" until the money Is paid.
Ho bnn repudiated the arrangement
tnado ly Cullxto Ourcla, who emtio to
Washington with authority from
Gomez to provide for tlio return of tlio
Cubans to their peaceful pursuits. Ills
work was barely accomplished before
his sudden death on December II.
It was then agreed thai tho United
States, In order to secure the prompt
resumption of labor on the planta
tions of the Island, with a view of
promoting tlio speedy revival of pros
perity and Nettled condltlous, should
distribute about 83,000,000 anions tho
80,000 Cubans wild to be still under
onus. Tlit money was to bo divided
in tho ratio of 9100 a man, the ollleer.s
tu proportion to their runic to receive
a greater amount, tho ordinary en
listed men to be (Uncharged with sums
less than SlOO.dcpaudlng on the length
of Hcrvlce mul other considerations.
For over a month tho pay corps of the
army has been malting ready to carry
out this arrangement. Tho national
defense fund Is available for tho pur
pose. Accurate lists of the soldiers en
titled to compensation hud to bo pre
pared and other formalities gone
through. It was Intended that the
Cubans at tho proper time should ap
ply at established American garrisons
In tho various piovluees, where, on
throwing down their arms and pre
Hontlng tho proper credentials, they
wore to receive their quota of the al
lotment from the pay olUcers at tho
stations.
In tho meantime, General l'rooko
and his chief subordinate have been
tuidoavorltig to give employment,
mostly of n permanent character, to n
large number of Cubans, In order to
reduce tho number requiring a bounty
mid at the sumo tlmo to give tho in
habitants opportunity to begin gov
erning thcmsolves.
Gomez has come out against this
scheme, which was operating satisfac
torily to most Cubans and has struck
for greater stakes. It is officially
known hero that he Is endeavoring to
tllssuado Cubaus from neeeptlng ofllee
under tho American occupation and Is
urging all tho natives of every grade
to stay with him in tho Held until
tho United States Is compelled to
accede to his "terms of disband
incut." Gomez alleges that his army
consists of 40,000 men and ho Insists
that most of them shall be paid for
thrco years' f-crvlco at the rotes that
prevail in tho Uultcd States army.
Uo fixes tho date of tho Cuban declar
ation of Independence, Fcbruury S4,
1803, nn tho beginning of tho period
for which himself and his forces irro to
bo rcmunoratod, and for himself, with
tho rank of lieutenant goncral, he
'will Iks satisfied with 811,000 annually,
tho American rate for that grade.
Gomez also has about twenty major
tronoralo, for each of whom ho wants
7.D00 annually uud his "army" Is
equipped with nearly 200 brigadier
gciiornls, each rated, according to tho
United States army pay table, at 8:5,500
annually, This aggregates the nice lit
tlo sura of 83,783,000 for generals alone;
then there aro colonels, lieutenant col
onels and majors, whoso numbers run
Into tho thousands. The private! do
not amount to much, for they are com
paratively fovv, but each of them will
rcqulro $018, and tho nrmy paymasters
who havo figured out the totnl have
reported that over S.",000.OD0 will be
requircu to grainy an me tiomanus
Gomez has made. This Is an uveraire
of Sl,4S.r a man.
It Is to meet these demands nud
show Gomez their absurdity that Lion
alo Quosada, who, for the last thrco
years, has boon tho representative of
tho Cubans In Washington, started for
Cuba lost week, after reaching u thor
ough understanding with tho war de
partment authorities. Ilobort l For
ter went along with Mr. Quesnda as
tho official representative of the
United States in the matter.

Jatnos f. Vance of Nashvlltu delivered
tho invocation. This was tho closing
day of debate upon tlio army reorgan
ization bill. Tho opposition before
tho hesslou oponod had practically
abandoned hope of olthor defeating or
having tho bill recommitted. Whcu
tho Houso resumed work upon tho
bill to-day, section 12, relating to tho
pay department, had been reached.
Tho mimbor of paymaster generals,
with the rank of colonel, provided in
tho bill, was reduced from four to
three, with tho rank of lieutenant
colouol from eight to tlvo, and pay
masters with tho rank of major from
forty-soven to thlrty-fivo. Tho ugo
limit for appotntraonts in thin depart

In the corps of engineers tho num
ber of cnlonols was reduced from ten
to eight; lieutenant colonels, twenty
to sixteen; majors, thirty-six to thirty;
captains, forty-ono to thtrty-flvo; first
lieutenants, fifty to forty, and second
licutenuutn fifty to forty.
Mr. llrownell of Ohio, Republican,
moved to strike out tho provision
authorizing tho appointmont of en
gineers from civil life Tho amend
ment was supported Jy Mr. Walker,
P.cpublloan, of Massachusetts, but
opposed by Mr. Marsh, Republican, of
Illinois, who favored tlio appointment
of officers from civil life and said tho
great engineer sohome of Fads had
been scoutod by tho regular army
officers.
Mr. Dockery of Missouri said the
best results in government work had
ahvays been obtained from army en
gineers. Mr. Cuunon, Republican, of Illinois
directed attention to tho amendment
of Mr. Cutnmlngs, Democrat, of Xew
York, whs gavo notice yesterday that
he would offer an amendment to pre
vent the uso of .United States troops
us "posso comltatus" or In putting
down strikes or riots oxcept upon tho
written application of tho governor of
the state. Tho amondment, said Mr.
Cannon, proposed to put it out of tho
power of the President, the constitu
tion to the contrary notwithstand
ing, to enforce tho law within
tho territory of any stato unless tho
governor appealed for help. Mr. Can
non then recalled tho Chicago riots
during the last administration nnd tho
dispatch into Illinois without tho as
sent of tjio governor, and against his
protest, of United Stntcs troops to
suppress tho riots. That action of
President Cleveland had been Indorsed
by tho Senate of tho United States and
tho peoplo cverywhoro. Had the pro
posed amendment boon law the Presi
dent would havo bcon provented from
enforcing tho law. Tho, federal au
thority was ami should be supreme.
Mr. Cutnmlngs repllod to Mr. Can
non. Thoro was nn question, he said,
that organized labor, through tho
American Federation of Labor nnd
tho Knights of Labor, had condemned
tho efforts to increase the standing
army to 100,000. Thero was no ques
tion that the reason for their action
was tho fact that tho standing nrmy
might bo used unconstitutionally to
suppress thorn.
"Now," ho continued, "If you do
mean to do it, say so; If you do not,
adopt this proviso." Tho gentleman
from Illinois, ho said, had referred to
tho action of Governor Altgeld, but ho
had failed to refer to Governor John
M. Palmer, who had denounced tho
action of tho President for sending
troops into the stato over the protest
of tho governor. Tho United
States judgo who had sent
Debs to prison for contempt
was promoted within n few months.
Everything ludlcate'd that tho army
was to be used to oppress labor If tho
opportunity offered or if corporate
wealth demandw'd It Ho was no law
yer, or a banker, Mr. Cuminlugs con
tinued; ho was n trndes union innn, it
member of Typographical union No. U,
What he desired was that tho mem
bers of tho Houso should go on record
upon his amendment.
Mr. Cannon, replying, said that Ik-
iuru iiiuii lYuro iuyyors or oauiters Or
printers they wore American cltizons,
and tho lawtjf tho land, liko tho grace
of God, covered all. (Applause.) Tho
ono green spot In tho record of Pros'.,
dent Cleveland had beou that when
ho saw tho law doflod, not by labor,
but by law breakers, ho had kopt his
.oath and had aeon that it was en
forced. Mr. Cannon aroused tumultu
ous applauso whon ho declared that
Mr. Cutnmlngs, In seeking to mako
labor tho abettor of law breaking,
slanderod labor, no denounced It as
ohcap demagoguery.
Mr. Cummlngs said ho honored Pres
ident McKinley becauso ho was un
like Mr. Cleveland. When, recently
during tho riots, Governor Tanner de
clined to order out the mllltla, Bald
he, according to tho argument
of tho gentleman from Illinois, it was
tho duty of Prosidont MoKlnlcy to
order out tho army. Hut ho iff t tho
case In tho hands of Governor Tanner
and the peoplo honored him for It.
At o'clock, under tho order, tho
committee roso and roported tho nrmy
bill to tho House and it wus passed.

General ltrooko pgalnst tho action of
tho municipal councils in Trinidad,
Colon, Matanzas nnd other towns In
declaring cemeteries free. Ho Bays
that cemeteries are church property,
