Washington, July VU. General
.Maximo Gomez, it Is believed hero,
may go to Santo Domingo, gather nn
army and fight for tho presidency of
tho black ropuhllc, loft vacant by tho
assassination of Ullsscs Hourcaux.
Some time ngo General Gomez Issued
a manifesto to tho Cuban nrmy, In
which he bade his soldiers good-by
nnd signified his Intention to return
to San Domingo, Ills native land As
Gomez's lovo for adventure and
fighting for what ho calls liberty
nro well known, It Is believed ho
will start for San Domingo nt once,
orgnnlzo an nrmy and endeavor to
fight his way to tho presidency.
Gomez is n good organizer, and those
who como in contact with him in
Cuba sny ho is one of tho best soldiers
in Cuba nnd ho has tho tenacity to
stick to a cause until it triumphs.
The old general knows ho will not bo
chosen president of Cuba, if that
island over has a president, and it is
bollovcd tho constitution of Cuba will
follow closoly that of tho United
States and provldo that only untlvo
Cubnns can bo elected to tho highest
ofllce. I
This bar will not confront General I
Gomez In San Domingo as he wn6 born '
Jn San Domingo and his family (.till
lives there. Although (Ionic has been
nbsont from San Domingo for a num- I
bcr of years, he still claims It us hU
homo, and this claim will undoubtedly
hold good.
Whilo liltlo is known of President .
Flgucrreo, few persons bcltevo he can
maintain peace, as tlicro nro pro
nounced signs of n revolution brew
ing. With a third candidate in the
field in tho person of Juan lsadorc
Jimlncz, it Is said this will not pro
mote tranquility, and judging from
the past history of General Gomez,
many believe ho will next ba heard of
as president of San Domtngo. It Is
thought a large number of Cubans
would follow General Gomez to San
Domingo and again tako up arms un
der his command.
New Youk, July 20. General Abe-
lardo A. Moseoso, an exiled leader of I
the Wbpral party of Santo Domingo,
now living in Now York, said last 1
night: "The death of President Heu-
reaux will, I think, surely be followed
by a long state of disorder and revo
lution. I want to omphaslzo this
prophecy that tho United States
will eventually be compelled to Inter
fere to establish peace in the Island,
just as this country did in Cuba.
There are now in this country Goncral
Torlbco Garcia and Edward Grullon,
who sharo my views. Wo think that '
the United States ought to tako an in
terest in our West Indian republic.
It will bo a great commercial ally. It
lies between Cuba and Porto Rico. It
must of necessity, I bollevo, ultimate
ly become attached to this country."
General Moicoso has been an exile
in New York for three yeara Ho op
posed tho late president politically
and had to floe to save his Ufa Presi
dent Grant arranged an annexation
treaty with Santo Domingo, but the
Senate defeated it.
Erwln York, secretary of the Santo
Domingo Improvement company,
which ojntrols the country's finances,
said yesterday: "Should the new ad
ministration attempt to repudiate' our
contracts we shall certainly, as Amor
can citizens, call upon the Washing
ton administration for protection. I
do not believe there will ba any revo
lution." The contract with tho Improvement
company was signed by President
Hourcaux in 1803. It gives to the
cgmpany the railroads and the right
to collect the customs. In return for
these concessions the company has as
sumed the national debt of the coun
try, which is principally hold in the
United States.

eral Illanco, who was governor-gcnernl
of Cuba during the late war, has

say if the troops at Santiago had not
maintained the honor of the army in
tact and adding: "If it is necessary

THE ADMIRAL'S BLUNT TALK,
A "Dog-la-the-Maimer" Policy Aicrlbed
to the Kalaar Continental Alliance
to Attack KiiRland Pint and Tlien
America.
Nitw Yoiuc, July 31. Tho New
York Herald prints a cablegram
from Trclste, Austrlu, this morning,
in which Admiral Dewey is quoted as
saying: '"Our next war will bo with
Germany." Tho dispatch follows:
"I had a conversation with Admiral
Dowoy on board tho Olympin yester
day. In reply to a remark suggesting
that Germany had Intended to inter
fere nt Manila the admiral said:
"Yes. Prlnco Henry of Prussia Is
n man of tho type of his brother, tho
Gorman emperor."
'And Admiral von Dledrlch?" I
asked.
"Ho was relieved from Manila In
accordance with an arrangement of
long standing, nnd becauso his ttme
was up, and not ns n concession mi do
in friendliness to tho American gov
ernment. "Germany's policy Is to prevent
other powers from obtaining what
she cannot acquire herself."
After wo had spoken of Samoa as
nn evidence of tho German policy, the
admlrnt Bald: "Wo need n largo and
thoroughly equipped navy that can
copo with nny other power on earth.
Eugland is our natural ally nt this
time, and differences such us thoso
about tho Venezuelan border nnd tho
fisheries question should not lntcrfero
with tho friendly understanding ex
isting between tho two nutlons.
"Our noxt war will be with Ger
many." London, July 31. Tho National Re
vlow, in an articlo discussing the
probability of nn allianco between
Franco nnd Germany against England
has reached the conclusion that such
a move Is within the bounds of prac
tical politics. Tho writer points out
that Germany's future expansion must
bo colonial and that Franco has sim
ilar interests. In this respect both
France and Germany nro somewhat
barred by England's widespread hold
ings. The common belief that Eng
land is tho enemy of every power with
colonial or maritime ambitions, ,tho
writer asserts, supplies both French
men and Gcrmnns with an argument
in support of the union.
Emperor William, is is argued, Is
acting upon the supposition that,
much as Franco dislikes Germany,
sho must dlsllko England more after
tho Fashoda incldeut Tho emperor
dreams of forming a coalition of cen
tral and western powers of the conti
nent, to bo used, firstly, against Eng
land: secondly, against tho United
States and, finally, against Russin,
though nt the beginning tho latter
power will be Included in the German
firm. Tho National Review writer
finds in theso dreams an explanation
of tho hitherto nlmost inexplicable
policy of tho German emperor to
wards the United States. Tho article
continues:
"The reason for Emperor William's
seeming desire to unnecessarily quar
rel with a state of such gigantic
strengtli is that he wished to assume
the position, of champion of Europe
against transmarine powers."
Tho article says further: "To the
continent, before 1898, tho United
States appeared a huge, drowsy mon
ster that spent Its energy in rare mo
monts of wakefulness in nibbling the
lion's tall. No ono objected much
to this, but when the hugo beast
shook itself and planted one paw upon
the Spanish West Indies and another
upon tho Philippines it became an
objcot of real terror to European
statesmen who did not know whom it
might next attack. The conditions
wero all tho more unnerving ns Eng
land refused to walk into tho trap
and turn her navy against the United
States. So tho events of 1808 only
served to bring the two trausraariuo
powers togolhcr."
St. PETEiisiiuno, July 31. The tend
ency manifested by Frauco towards
reapproaehmont with Germany is
causing great irritation nnd susponso
in Russia. Tho newspapers here ex
press In strong terms their great dis
satisfaction, and try to demonstrate
that Russia and France could not ad;
mlt Germany to tholr Intimacy with
out projudlco to themselves, as the
Franco-Russian allianco is based upon

POYNTEIi'S ADDRESS.
TELLS LIVING HEROES OF
NEBRASKA'S PRIDE.
Word of TraUe for the Soldier Iloy, nnd
Kxpreaslon of Ilrgret for the Ded
LUtof Lonnm In the Vnrlona Com
panies of the Rrclment.
San Frnncisco went will over the
First Nebraska' volunteers ns they
marched from the transport Hancock
to the presidio. It would take several
columns of space to tell the details and
special events that hnppencd.
The people crowded about tho dock
entrance, set up a wild cheer that watt
passed In growing up and down the
densely packed lines ns the head of the
column and the first companies inarched
forth. The band played, but tho wel
come from thousands of throats
drowned the iiiutlc.
Mnny wept unconsciously -while a
thunderous refrain echoed untiringly,
"Welcome Nebraska, welcome home."
Arriving at the parade ground the
regiment wns formed in columns of
musses nnd Governor Poyntcr wel
comed the gallant boys in the follow
ing words:
"As the ofllclnl representative of the
great state of Nebraska, which wc all
so much love nnd within whose borders
arc our homes, I come to offer you this
greeting nnd to welcome you upon
your return to your native land. With
pride the people of Nebraska snw you
depart nnd their prayers and good
wishes went with you. With joy they
hall your return and award to you due
praise and honor for the splendid man
ner in which you have acquitted your
selves and ndded new luster to the al
ready bright name of Nebraska.
"When you entered the service of
our country no questions were asked
ns to either your religious or political
views. You went out pledged to do
your duty, nnd nil the people of Ne
braska lire proud of you today, since
upon no occasion did you ever fail in
line of duty. To them, during all
these long, weary months, 3011 have
been Nebraska boys, and returning
now you nro thought of and spoken of
ns Nebraska boys in whom all the
state feel n most pardonable pride,
nnd when you reach Nebraska you
will find prepared for you there such
a welcome ns will in some measure in
dicate to you the gladness with which
your home coining is hailed by nil the
people. You will find there, as when
you went away, every shade of relig
ious sentiment such as can be found in
every progressive country. You will
find, ns when you went away, politi
cal differences and parties contending
with the same enrncstut-ss for the
maintenance of party policies, which
have ever characterized Nebraska's in
telligent people, but upon one subject,
votaries of every creed und people of
every party stand together, with no
division of sentiment. They tire nil
proud of Nebraska's 'Fighting First.'
"The military arm of our govern
ment Is of entirely different character
from that of other nations. We do
not now, nor has It ever been our pol
icy to depend upon a standing urmy.
When need nrises for military equip
ment a ready response has always been
nnd always will be given, American
armies have always been irreslstnble
oecnuse they aro composed of men who
are themselves a part of that govern
ment they are cnlled upon to sustain.
As a nntion we take pride In the glori
ous deeds of our ancestors, the heroes
of '70. Of their own will they took up
arms in the cause of human liberty,
and having wrested from the mother
country by their bravery nnd sacrifice
the right to establish n government
nnd show to the world a new flog,
they laid down their arms and took up
the task of building that government
and of making that flag the standard
of power as it wus the emblem of free
dom. Again in 1812 our fathers left
the peaceful walks of citizenship and
taught England a proper respect for
the 1 ights of the young republic on
tho high seas.
"The mighty armies which engaged
in that awful struggle in '61- and 'l!i
on both sides were volunteer soldiers
and all Americans. No such conflict
had ever before been witnessed. The
conflict ended, the government of
Washington sustained, the eternal
principles of the Declaration of Inde
pendence made to npply to nil men
without distinction of color or condi
tion, our flag firmly established the
glorious emblem of liberty, those
great armies disbanded and took up
the peaceful pursuit of citizenship. All
history records no bravei" or grander
army cndurlug the hardships of camp
and field, nor Letter citizens returning
to the walks of private life. It has
ever been the. boast of our republic
that in times of war every citizen is a
soldier; in times of peace every soldier
is a citizen. Our government Is found
ed upon the intelligence of its people.
That intelligence is nowhere displayed
to better advantage than In our volun
teer army.
"Men of the the First Nebraska, you
have again demonstrated the fighting
qualities of the American volunteer.
Your state stands first in the ranks of
broad intelligence of all the sisterhood
of states, and no regiment outranks
you in hard service of all those who
answered the call of '08. Your deci
mated ranks testify to your faithful
discharge of your duty as soldiers,
and us the chief executive of your
state I say to you, Nebraska is proud
of her sons. While we extend to you
glad greetings upon your return to
your native land, with sorrow we miss
many who will never return to us
Y'oung lives full of promise have gone
out and for these we mourn. Rut they
will not be forgotten. When the spring
time comes, and our people gather to
strew flowers upon tho graves of the
dead heroes of '01 and '05, the young
heroes of 08 nnd '09 will bo remem
bered. The granite shaft und marble
column will be retired in their mem
ory, but the more fitting monument
will be in the henrts and memories of
their comrades nnd people.
"You will soon divest yourselves of
the livery of your country, which you
hnvc filled with such d'stinguiscd hon
or to your stntc, nnd take your places
with the great busy throng who are
building up her great public institu
tions mnd developing her resources.
Wc gladly welcome your assistance in
tills work. Nothing is so much in de
mnnd today us men, broad-minded men,
men of thought, men of notion, We
know that those who hnvo displayed
such loyalty nnd devotion to duty that
has cvercharactcrlzed the men of the
First Nebraska will show tho same de
votion nnd loyalty in the exercise of
citizenship.
"Again ns chief executive of our
great stntc, in behalf of all tho citizens
of our state, of every creed, both re
ligious and political, I extend to you
thanks nnd hearty appreciation for
your splendid bravery nnd tho distinc
tion you have brought to the state by
your constant nnd unwavering devo
tion to duty."'
