THE EVENING CALL.
701. X No. 219,
MANIFESTO OF GOMEZ
It is in Entire Harmony With the
Avowed Aims of This Country.
Havana May 19,_Q en Gomez's
tiiaiiifesto ivm issued lasi night It
giies fully into the ruotiver or the ne
gotimiotis with Gen Brooke for the
ditb tudmeut o! the army.
Itis in entile harmony with the
avowed aiata of the United States in
reference to Cuba. He appeals for the
cessation of the agitation and friction,
bolding before the people the highest
hope for the resurrection of the coun
try and the Warmest faith in the lion
es'.y of the Americans.
Gomez declares that he told Gen
Brooke at the first meeting that three
million dollars was too small, and
when he failed to obtain more, he
urged tbeorganization of ten thousand
Cuban militia, as the solution of the
matter
When Gen. Brooke npcted this, he
appealed to President McKinley, only
to fail. Finding that the three million
was the only hope, he urged that the
money be divided among the members
of 'he army, whether they were armed
or not. He believed that the arms
should be deposited in national armo
ries, guarded by the Cubans.
This plan, he says, was radically
changed by Gen. Brooke and delay
followed. He says he was convinced
that there was no further need for
arms, and that it is immaterial wheth
er they are surrendered to the munici
palities or the Cuban armories. To
avoid trouble, he suggested to Gen.
Brooke that the arms be delivered to
the mayors. Gen. Brooke agreed to
this and the arrangement was made.
He advised the Cubans to go back
’ their Immes, with the money they
get, and to bo patient and thereby end
the delay in establishing the independ
ence of the island,
discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered <
away to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption and was so much
relieved on taking the first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two bot- 1
t ee, has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther Lutz ” Thus ;

The Fighting About Over.
!■- is now practically certain that ac
live lighting in the Philippines is over. ]
At eleven o'clock this, Friday, morn (
ing, Aguinaldo’s advisers and envoys
ha ! left San Isidro, from which place
they started for Manila, under an
American escort. Aguinaldo at last .
acknowledges that he is whipped, and '
liia envoys have full power to negoti- (
ate a complete surrender to the
American forces. ,
Thus ends one of the most remark- (
able campaigns in history. The
American troops have fought with a
da-h and brilliancy seldom equalled ,
by troops of any country. During
<he entire campaign they have never
lust a battle or sounded a retreat, al- (
though they frequently fought against
overwhelming numbers, with all the
advantage on the side of the rebels.
The volunteers, especially, have con- (
ducted themselves in such manner as
f" win the admiration and applause
of the entire American people. They
have borne the brunt of the fighting
"i the Philippines, and the ranks of
B *me of the regiments have been sadly
decimated.
Our losses have been remarkably
small, compared with the slaughter
inflicted upon the enemy, but many
of our best men have been killed, and
the nation will long mourn their un
timely taking off. Every one will be
sincerely glad to know that the end of
fighting in (he Philippines has been
reached. I here may be a few more
small fightg, but unless indications
fail, the rebels will soon laydown their
arms and submit to American autbori

A MODEL NEGRO TOWN
e One May be Established by Northern
Capitalists on Lone Island-
* It is announced that a negro town
is to be established on Long Island,
Suffolk county, New York. The idea
1 of its promoters is to make a purely
industrial town, having in the begin
ning 1,000 inhabitants. A number of
1 colored men have secured the site,
’ which contains about 3,000 acres, and
> a number of manufacturers have
agreed to erect factories on condition
that the promoters of the town will
furnish operatives at a certain stipu
lated price with which io run the sac
lories.
It is asserted that an agent of the
promoters has visited Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina, and has
received assurances that tbe-re will be
no trouble whatever in getting the
number of colonists wanted. It is
provided that every colonist shall be
the possessor of at least $75 and
enough te pay his fare to the new
town. Houses are to be built for the
colonists, and those who want to build
homes for themselves will be permit
ted to do so.
The idea is that the city will very
soon reach a population of 15,000. It
will not be possible to take care of a
greater number than that on the laud
which the promoters have secured,and
2,000 acres additional on which they (
have been given an option. It is not i
stated what the character of the man- i
ufacturing is to be, though it is uo- (
derstood that so far as the factories t
are concerned, everything has been
arranged. [
No doubt it will be an easy matter
to get 1,000 colonists in the states (
named, though it will not be so easy [
to get men who have as much as $75 t
each, and enough besides to pay the 1
cost of reaching the projected town. i
There are of course plenty of negroes t
who have money, but the great ma- ’
jority of those who have houses or <
lands or caah are pretty well satisfied <
where they are, or are too old to make <
good foctory hands. It. is alleged that j
the majority of those who have an
nounced their purpose of becoming
citizens of the negro factory town are a
graduates from some one of the negro f
industrial colleges in the South. j
We do not know, of course, any- r
thing more about this projected negro t
manufacturing town than what we see c
in the New York papers. It may be a ]
thoroughly legitimate enterprise. We
sincerely hope it is It is apparent
that the promoters of it propose to
take from the South only moral and '
thrifty negroes—negroes who are good j
citizens in the Sautb, and who will be |
good ci' ; zens in the North. There is s
no intention to invite to the North I
shiftless and immoral negroes who *
furnish the victims for the lynchings. v
But before any of the better class of I
negroes leave their homes for the pro- f
jected town on Long Island they will J
consult their own interests by being .
sure that those making promises to c
them are able to comply with all their s
obligations, The announcement that 1
only negroes having as much as $75
will be accepted, looks suspicious. It
is at least sufficient to put negroes,
who are thinking of going to the new
town, on their guard. Neither the (
whites nor the blacks in the north are
such philanthropists as to be willing ,
to make an outlay for the benefit of
southern negroes unless they see some
way to get their money back with *
compound interest That negroes are
not in favor there, and will not be (
welcomed on Long Island, is tvideul
from the statement that one or two
■
newspapers | üblisbed in Suffolk coun
ty, having heaid of the scheme, are
protesting against planting a negro
colony in that county,
The enterprise seems to be genuine.
It is to be hoped it is, and that it will
be the first of very many more such
colonies—so many, in fact, that the
race problem will be transferred from
the south to the north. The northern
people appear to think they can solve
that problem. There wi.l be no great
regret in the South if they have an
opportunity to do so—Savannah

ed over by a single bow from the fore
paw of a bear ; but perhaps his most
urprising story is of an occurrence
that he had witnessed three summers
ago. He says :
“I spent the season in the Coast
mountain near Hudson Bay, and one
moonlight night I saw a big grizzly
bear in the act of carrying a dead cow
home to her cub.
“I had a position on the mountain
side, from which I could see every '
movement of the bear in the sparsely
settled timbered valley below. Sue
carried the cow in her fore paws for.nt 1
least- three miles, across i rgged rocks, |
10 feet high, over fallen logs, around <
the rocky mountainside, where even a <
jackass could not get a foothold, to a 1
narrow trail up the mountain. s
“She never stopped to rest a mo- j
ment, but went straight on I fallowed 8
her, and about half a mile from her
lair laid her low. Ti e cow weighed at I
least 200 pounds, and the bear about f
450.” ,

“That’s what he did, but as it turn'

men are. Os course, you remember
how his hearing was almost destroyed
because es the premature explosion of
a toy cannon last Fourth of July.
Well, just after his family bad got

Quintessence of Chicago Meanness,
“The meanest man I ever knew,”
said the short passenger, according to
the Chicago News, “was a fellow who
got a football and painted it to look
like a watermelon. Then during the
summer months he kept it conspicu
ously displayed in his backyard and
amused himself setting a sivage bull
dog on hungry people who happened
to take a fancy to the bogus melon ”
“He certainly had his mean points,”
said the tall passenger, ‘ but [ know a

Hard Up for Presidents
When be was 50 he returned to bis
native town, “just to see how the old
place looked,” says the New York
Comm rein! Advertiser. He found it
unchanged. The old store where, ae a
lad, In- bad clerked it, and sold calico
and groceries to the old farmers, was
just the same. He contrasted the
sleepy old place with himself and felt
a glow of satisfaction when he thought
how much those thirty years had done
for him. “They ought to be proud of
me,” he said to himself.
Presently he met one of the old in
habitants.
1 “Wall, I declare, is it reely you,
Hank 0 ” said the old man incredulous
s ly “We’ve heerd you’ve been pros

heerd so, but I couldn’t believe it. It’s

say is, they must be purty haid up for

Old Law Holds Good.
We learned the other day of a man
who boasted that he bad taken a bottle
of wine everyday for fifty year-', and I
had not been injured by it. But of his
twelvi children six died m infancy,
one was idiotic, one became insane
and the other four grew up to be ner
vous invalids.
Men find it impossible to get naay
from the old law laid down thousands
of y irs ago that “the sine of the fath
ers shall be visited upon the children.”
It is a terrible thing for fathers to

will have to pay the penalty, but men
