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.

I 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 E v —Columbus Enquirer-Sun, When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render I promptly, but one should remember to SBe even the most perfect remedies only *hen needed. The best and most simple gentle remedy is the Syrup ot Figs, Manufactured by the California Fig Syrup 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 News.

He tells also of cows knur k 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.

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 r pering fust rate sence you went west. 1 They’ve made you a railroad president, or suthin’of the sort, ain’t* they?
