THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X. No. 181 ASSEMBLY will dissolve Obstacles to Disbandment of the Cu ban Army Have Been Removed Havana, April s—The Cuban as sembly met yesterday and finally de cided to dissolve and diabind the army, thus removing one of the great est obstacles to the peace and pros perity of the island. A resolution was adopted by the as sembly ordering ,he several chiefs to give each soldier a ,e t ficate of b< r vice. Their arms are to be given up to the chiefs, who will give them in charge of the municipal authorities until a government is est >bli-Imd. One month is given all members of the army in which to present their claims for titles and honors It was officially agreed to turn over to Gen. Brooke a copy of the pay roll of the Cuban army so that the three million dollars presented by the Unit ed States can be distributed. There is great consternation among Gen. Gomez’s officers over the fact that he expects to leave Saturday or Sunday for his home in San Domingo. Gen. Gomez says he is going to live on bis farm there. There is a great deal of talk over the manifesto issued by Gen. Gomez, in the form of an open letter to bis wife and friends iu San Dom ingo. lu this letter Gen. Gomez say» he is satisfied that lie has done his duty, and the only rewaid be asks is the love of the Cubans, lie adds that the assembly first accepted the s3,a 000,000 donation from the United States, and he was in his camp, for gotten by the Gubins and most Americans, when Mr. Portor, Presi dent McKinley’s representative, visited him and conferred with him on the ■ tuation He then agreed to assist in bringing about the disbandment of the Cuban army, and accepted, in behalf of the army, the proffered pe cuniary Assistance from the Ameri cans. Meanwhile the assembly re pented of its acceptance of the money and wished to have the sum increased to $13Q00,000. Three gentlemen who claimed to be American bankers called on him and offered to make a larger loan, but he refused to accept it be cause the Cuban republic had not yet been established and the wishes of the Cuban people could not be heard. This aroused the indignation of the assembly and bis deposition from his post of commander-in-chief of the Cuban army followed This is the first clear explanation of the trouble between Gen. Gomez and the assem bly that has yet been made. The ac tion of the assembly in finally decid ing to dissolve justifies the course of Gen Gomez, his friends claim Remarkable Rescue- Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111, makes tha statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs ; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption, and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist sug gested Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption ; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first dose.

HARD FIGHTING EXPECTED The Insurgents Massing Strong Forces North cf Calumpit- Manila, April s—The insurgents are massing strong forces north of ■ Calumpit, ab( nt five and a half miles • northwest of Malolos, and, according to the observation of the reconnoiter ing parties, they have fine intrench ments there - It is expected that hard fighting will be necessary to dislodge them at that point and at San Fernando, where Aguinaldo is supposed to be. Large rivers strengthen bo'h posi tions. The Montana regiment had one man killed and three wounded yesterday. Twenty-five men were prostrated by the heat and brought to the hospital. Two now big Krupp guns, one six inch and the other eight-inch, which were found buried at Malolos, though secured late, will be mounted. In searching the building at Malo los, which was the former treasury department of the insurgonts, but now American headquarters, three safes were found. Only one of these has yet been opened. It contained $23,- 000 Can Trusts be Overthrown. The question as to what shall be done to prevent the permanent monop olization of the business of the country by the trusts is the subject of study on the part of many thoughtful men. If a state autl orizas the incorporation of many corporations into one can con gress intervene, and if so, to what ex tent? Is it necessary for a constitu tional amendment to be adopted in order to reach the evil? What do con siderations of the general welfare de mand? These are the basic questions and upon their determination rests the fate of industry in this country. It has been suggested that Congress may whip the devil around the stump by putting upon the free list all those articles which the trusts manufacture or control, thereby bringing against them the mushing force of European competition. That policy would, of course, speedi ly effect the purpose, but in view of the multitude of the trusts, and the great diversity ol the inerest now covered by them, such a policy wou d eventuate in practical free trade, and force the government to new methods of raising revenue And yet if the trusts be permitted to stand, with steadily increasing power, they can so discourage importation as to force the government to new levies for revenue. Thus the rule works both ways with the trust at the vanage point. It is a hard problem indeed, and one which may have to be solved after all by a constitutional amendment of some sort, predicated upon the doctrine that corporations with independent char ters may not be welded into one. A system of progressive taxation accord ing to the amount of capital employed might affect a cure but it may require a constitutional amendment to justify the application of such a remedy Macon News. A Parrot Story. A maiden lady of a certain town of Cornwall owned a parrott, which some how acquired the disagreeable habit of observing at frequent intervals : “I wish the old lady would die,” says the Household Words. This annoyed the bird’s owner, who spoke to her curate about it “I think we can rectify the matter,” replied the good man. •*! ale ; have a parrot, and he is a right eous bird, having been brought up in the way he should go. I will lend you my parrot, and trust his influnce will reform that depraved bird of yours.” The curate’s parrot was placed in the same room with the wicked one, and as soon as the two had become accustomed to each other, the bad bird remarked :‘T wish the old lady would die.” Whereupon the clergy man’s bird rolled up his eyes, and in solemn accent added : “We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord!” The story got out in the parish, and for several Sundays it was necessary to omit the Litany at the church serv ices.

What’s the matter with Semper? We have not heard anything from there in some time. Spur up, Semper, and “jine” us, for we are coming up with an arm full later. There were only six of our boys at Mil ner Sunday afternoon. We would like to get up an exchange with the Milnerites, by giving her some of our boys for some of the fair sex. In fact, some of our boys think they are entitled to a Milner girl, any way, for we went down about a week ago and bought the girls shadows, and some of the boys say that the shadows cost nearly as much as some of the girls are worth. See? But we will drop this subject by saying that we will give a boy for a girl. Some of our boys are inclined to be bashful, and they requested me to act as agent for them through the Even ing Call in regard to the change. M. F. Swint made a business trip to Atlanta Monday, and we think that he must have spit on the sidewalk, as he got left and had to come in on a late train.

Bears the Kind You Have Always Bought Signature y/ V/? , z? ~ of They Resemble Animals. Human faces, it is said, often bear a striking resemblance to some animals, and this peculiarity is remarkably pronounced among the crowned heads of Europe. The czar has often been likened to a bull ter rier, with his snub nose, round, promi nent eyes and full lips, and in the face of the German emperor people have traced a resemblance to a mad foxhound, especially in that portrait where ho is looking back over one shoulder with an anxious, hunt ed expression. Os course every one knows that in the Marquis of Salisbury’s head and face Is represented a perfect English mastiff—a resemblance of which the great st atesman and premier is said to be proud, as indicative of his own character. A dosed Pension List. France has paid its last pension to rva poleon I’s soldiers. In 1869 a law was passed granting SSO a year to all noncom missioned officers and privates who served ten years in the armies of the first republic or of the first empire and had received a wound. For the first year the payments amounted to $600,000; last year the sum was SSO, and the last recipient is now dead at the age of 105 years. Irresistible.
