THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 156. MILLION TO CUBA General Carey Will Leave Scon With $3,000,000 in Gold and Silver. Washington, March 7. —Paymas- ter General Carey has perfected ar rangements'or going to pay rff the Cuban army. General Carey will take the entire sum $3,000,000 to Cuba, $1,500,000 of which will be in silver and the re maioder either in gold or bide. He will leave New York on toe ui the government transport, to which the money will be transferred from the Bub-treasury, and upon his arrival at Havana he will report General Brooke. As General Gomez desires that the American officers shall handle the money, the disbursements will be made by American officers upon the direction of General Cart y, who will be furnished with a list of the officers and men comprising the Cuban army and the amount of money which should be paid to each It is not intended by this governs ment to furnish more than $3,000,000 A dispatch from Havana says the Cuban assembly held another secret session today, at which the payment of the army was the only question dis cussed. The committee appointed to raise a loan of twelve million dollars reported that it could not be secured, unless the payment was guaranteed by the United States It was proposed that the army be paid the the three million dollars of* sered by the United States, and that the balance due be paid in promitSiry notes, signed by the assembly, to be redeemed by the island’s future gov* ernment /ifter much discussion, this pro* posal was laid over. Major Kennon visited Gen. Gomez today, to obtain further details regard ing the Cuban army. Gen. Gomez ex* plained that the number of men to be paid is 25,000, but there are 25,000 more, consisting of officers who will not take money, and men who en» listed after the war between Spain and the United States broke out. Gen. Gomez failed to give satisfactory de* tails regarding the men to whom be claims payment is due. Gen. Brooke declares that the three million dollars will only be paid to real Cuban sol diers.

This attraction will appear here in the near fixture, and should receive a cordial welcome by our people. His Life Was Saved. Mr. J.

In telling of it he says : ‘ 1 was taken with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu monia My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn’t even sit up ia bed. Nothing helped me.

WILL ATTACK AGUINALDO General Otis Will Not Wait for the Arrival of Reinforcements. Washington, March 7.—Word has been received from General Otis at Manila that be will not wait for the arrival of General Lawton and the troops on the Grant and Sherman to arrive before he makes his general al* tack upon the insurgents. The advices say that General Otis will either today or tomorrow make his contemplated general attack upon the insurgents by his entire force, and drive the rebels from the jungles and other places where they have thrown up defense. A dispatch from Manila says: ‘‘At daylight this morning the enemy were discovered to mount a gun across the river from San Pedro and the Sixth artillery promptly shelled the rebel battery Temporarily stopping the work, the enemy poured a fusilade of musketry across the river, but a gun boat moved up and cleared the banks of the stream with rapid-fire guns. “Postoffices have been established at Negros, Cebu and Iloilo and the clerks left yesterday for their respec tive posts by the steamer Espana.” Be Careful of Your Fire. The last legislature passed a law which intended to make the people of this State careful with their fire, espec ially in burning off the woods. An exchange calls attention to this law and gives a timely warning as so • lows : “For the information of those who have not kept up with the laws passed by the last legislature, we call atten tion to the fact that a law was passed making it a misdemeanor and a heavy fine for any one to put out fire so as to burn rff the fields of their neighbors, whether the fire gets out by intention or carelessness, and at the same time it provides for any damage such fire may do. We call attention to this fact just now, as it is about time people are starting out for another crop, and as it is the custom to burn the grass off the field, to caution them that they should be careful and not let the fire get beyond the place intended to bo burned. Sometimes fire is set out in a field and gets beyond control and burns the field and woods for nyles. Under the present law the one setting out the fire would bo subject to be prosecuted by every man whose woods and Holds were burned, besides being responsi ble for any damage that might be claimed.” City Court Proceedings- Several cases were tried in the City court yesterday, and every one result ed in conviction Solicitor J. I). Boyd received many congratulations from the older num bers of the bar upon his able prosecu tion of the cases. Bob Doyal was convicted of assault and battery. Tom Deane, John Holland aud Doc Matthews, colored, were convicted of gambling. A few cases were continued and about twelve bonds were forfeited. Judge Hammond ordered the arrest of several absent witnesses, and is de termined that if the business of the court is delayed by such causes that some one will suffer “Bust Up” of “Babe” Bailey At last the “expected” has happened. We regret that we cannot print it in red —red as the blood of a Texas steer. The United States is wrecked, the constitution is “busted,” and the hon. jobailey threatens to go into a state of innocuous desuetude. While the hon jobailey has “busted” his suspenders frequently, we did not believe he would do the baby act, and humiliate the great state of Texas by exhibiting bis petulance and disap [ ointment in failing in unseating the gallant Gen Ji>e Wheeler Let him retire from the leadership of the party, if he thinks hv has ever held it.

FRANCHISES IN CUBA Alger W?.Ets Legal Opinion Foraker Amendment. Washington, March •»—Secretary Alger will ask the attorney g< neral to interpret the Foraker amendment to the army approprition bill prohibiting the granting of business concessions and franchises in Cuba Meanwhile no concession- <r Iran chiees will be granted in the island by the war department On the who’e, the military authetities are ra’hcr glad that the amendment was adopted, as it relieves them of much worry and embarrassment, and they hope that the attorney general will interpret the law broadly, so as to cover all grants of a businets character. When the advisory board on insu lar affaire was preparing for its trip to Cuba and Porto Rico to look into the franchise question and other matters, Secietary Alger decided that it would b 1 bstter to leave Cuba severely alone, and he directed the members of the board, Messrs. Watkins, Kennedy and Curtis, to confine their investigations to Porto Rico alone. Permission was given them how ever, to go to Santiago to make in quires about an application made by an American concern for authority to construct a tramway from Santiago to the iron mines near that place No concessions will be granted in Porto Rico until the board makes its report.
