GOMEZ PROP, ECIES EARLY APIXATIO.I Union of United States and Cuba a Certainty. SO DECLARES CL 1 BAN LEADER At Banquet In New York He Gives Free Expression to his Heartfelt Sentiments. A New York dispatch says: A din ner was given at the Union League Club Saturday evening to General Maximo Gomez and General T. Estra da Palma. The dinner was arranged on the I spur of the moment. General Gomez | intending to return to Cuba during the day and not deciding tc remain over until morning, wnen he accepted the Invitation, and the guests were sum moned by telegraph. The Cuban general was the hero | of the occasion and was warmly re ceived. He made a brief speech, which was interpreted by General Gonzales. General Gomez said he was almost touched to tears by the remarkable reception he had received in the Uni ted States. He knew Cuba was in debted to the United States, but he never knew until he came here how deep that debt was —that it was not merely the obligation of one people to | another, but of brother to brother. I Every Cuban, born and bred, he said, lived and died with the idea of Cuba libre before him, with the hope of the people being free and relieved of the yoke of oppression. Cuba and the United States, said the general, belong together. It is only a 1 question of gravitation when they will j be one. But at present, after ihe great struggle in which hundreds o*. thou- I sands of lives were sacrificed and when | men returned to their homes only to ! find their wives and children starved to death in the restricted barriers in which Weyler held them under his pol icy of reconcentration, they felt that they must have Cuba libre. It is real i ized fully, he that Cuba cannot [ get along without the United States, but the Cubans do want to feel free dom. i General Gomez referred to General j Palma as the hold-over president of ! Cuba, having been elected during the insurrection of 1868. and he pointed to his fellow Cuban as the first president ! of Cuba libre. j General Palma made a feeling re ply, warming to the subject of Cuba libre, and speaking enthusiastically of the future of the Pearl of the Antilles. After the dinner General Gomez said to the newspaper men that he wished , to express his gratitude to the press of the United States and of the world for the great good they had done to ‘ the cause of Cuba libre. He said that when he came here years ago he was j very sad, but that on this visit he was j very happy and was glad to recognize how muen the American people had done for Cubans.

But yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind v/hieh fills her with terrer. The dread of childbirth takes away much o the joy of And yet it need not be so. For sometime there has been upon the market, well-known and recommended by physicians, a liniment called Mer’s friend which makes childbirth as simple and easy as nature intended it. It is a strengthening, penetrating liniment, which the skin readily absorbs. It gives the muscles elasticity and vigor, prevents sore breasts, morning sick ness and the loss of the girlish figure.

Mayor Livingston Mims, of Atlanta, vetoed the resolutions passed by coun cil condemning the students of- the Technological school for taking the places of the striking machinists in the Southern railway shops and call ing upon the legislature to pass some law to prevent such action in the fu ture. The mayor’s veto message in part is as follows: “I regret extremely the adoption by your honorable bodv of the accnmoa nying resolutions and the heeessity they impose on me to return them with expression of my disapproval. “I think the council can do nothing in the matter and the question in volved in the resolutions snould not have been introduced in it. To ask of the legislature or trustees of the Tech nological school as proposed would be to ask an unconstitutional act. “Every man has the lawful right to leave any service or employment at any time he chooses and for any rea son of his own, and to peaceably in duce others to join "him and effect com binations promotive of what he con ceives his interest. But the employer, too, has rights under the law: The right to employ whom he pleases and on terms accepted by the employe, and it is but reasonable that he should en deavor to fill the place made vacant by him who leaves it. “The Technological student in . his own free time, when not under the con trol of or in attendance on the Tech nological or any otner school, has a right to work for whom he pleases and on such terms as he chooses. It would not only be unwise to have any re strictive laws in this matter, but as re ferring only to a particular class would, even if passed, be unconstitutional. Better far it seems to me that this council should let this matter alone. Besides, i think the resolutions and ac tion of council convey a wrong impres sion and onq hurtful to the city and which its well vnown conservatism and sense of justice will disapprove. “Respectfully, L. MIMS. Mayor.” * * * Deal Involving Big Money.

After midnight an attempt was made to organize a mob and lynch the pris oners. A crowd gathered, but no one volunteered to lead the assault on the jail.

Page and Owens were secretly ar raigned Friday afternoon in the coun ty jail. Arrangements were made to remove them to Portsmouth jail for safety immediately, as the authorities feared trouble Friday night. The removal of the negroes averted a crisis.

Deputy Sheriff Payne and the police force waited at the station and formed a cordon about the prisoners as they were led to the train in irons. Not a dozen people were aware of the trans fer before the train arrived and was gone. DAWES RESIGNS. Comptroller of Currency to Retire From Office and Enter Illinois Senatorial Race.
