HONORS FOR OOMEZ.
Enthusiastic Cubans Want to Make Him
Fiesldent.
New York, March 17. A dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
Wednesday night's popular demon
stration in honor of General Gomez at
Quinta da los Molinas seems to have
been turned bv the anti-assembly
leaders into something of a presiden
tial boom for the "grand old man" of
Cuban politics. Most of the speakers
insisted -on proclaiming the deposed
general-in-chief the sole guarantor of
insular independence and the ineyi
table heal of the still unformed Cuban
republic. In reply to these highly
flattering as'-uarances, General Gomez
cautiously, but still suggestively, said
that be could cot think of accepting
the presidential title unless it were
bestowed upon him by the unanimous
vote of the Cuban people.
This answer disclosed an intention
singularly at variance with the pro
gram he announced in his manifesto
of Sunday last in response to the as
sembly's resolution deposing him
from office. In that manifesto he said
that his eole desire was now to retire
to private life and end his days in
peace on his plantation at San Do
mingo. His new attitude is also in
striking contrast with the offer of his
sword to a committee of Porto Ricans,
which had suggested the initiation of
a movement for independence in fbat
island.
General Gomez' latest change of
front is due douotless to the over
whelming character of the victory he
has won over the assembly, ana the
elation he feels at the almost universal
support offered to him by all classes
of the Cuban population. His future
course in politics will be watched with
interest, for if the elections, which are
to form a basis for political reorgani
zation, are held before the present
furore in his favor subsides, he can
have the -highest honors the new con
stituent assembly can bestow on him
merely for the asking.

STORM IN
THE SOUTH
Tornado Swept a Large
Area of Country.
Memphis. Tenn., March 19. A
series of wind storms swept through
portions of Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas yesterday doing an immense
amount of property damage and kil
ling many people. The storm cover
ed a radius of several hundred miles,
destroying telegraph wires and
cutting off communication with a
large section of the country. Cleburne
county, Alabama, seems to have suf
fered the most severely, the storm
assuming the proportions of a tornado,
At Sellers and Luverne, Alabama,
much damaga is reported, and at Rob
Rov, Arkansas, one man was killed
and several badly injured. Dumas,
Arkansas, was nearly wiped out of ex
istence, and several other towns in
the vicinity suffered severely. One
person is reported killed at Hickory
Flat, Mississippi, and as the farm
houses in the vicinity suffered heavily,
it is not unlikely many fatalities oc
curred which have not yet been re
ported. Reports from different points in the
three states indicate that 18 persons
were killed outright and 21 injured, as
follows: Alabama, 16 killed, four in
jured; Mississippi, one killed, 10 in
jured; Arkansas, one killed, 7 injured.
The property loss will run into the
hundreds of Thousands.

cyclone passed through tbe country
here yesterday, creating great havoc
in the country between Heflin and
Edwardsville. It is known seven peo
ple, members of the family of Mr.
Coffee, a farmer, are dead, and it is
thought many others ate injured, al
though, on account of the damage done
telegraph wires, it is impossible to
give details. The bouse contained 11
people when it was struck by the storm.
The building was entirely demolished,
and seven inmates were killed outright.
The path of the storm was about 25
miles wide, and it tore everything to
pieces that lay before it. Telegraph
wires and poles are down in every
direction, trains are delayed greatly
on accont of debris piled on the track.
It is thought great damage has been
done in the farming district, but it is
not believed the cyclone struck any
town.

On this landing there was a box,
which occupied a large part of the

broken. In spite of her injuries, Mrs.
Kelly lived an hour and a half after

Aguinaldo Determined to Keep the War
Gums On.
Manila, March 20. It is reported
on hituerto reliable autnority tnat
Aguinaldo is taking extreme measures
to suppress signs calculated to cause
cessation of hostilities. Twelve ad'
herents of the plan of independance,
residents of Manila, have been con
detuned to death because they wrote
advising surrender, and all loyal
Filipinos have been called upon to
perform the national service of dis
patching them.
On Friday last La Garda visited
Lagordas for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with
the insurgent leader, and attempted
to convince him of the folly of hi&
persistence in the face of overwhelming
odds. Aguinaldo was furious at the
advice, and ordered General La Garda
to be executed immediately. The un
fortunate general was promptly decap

Muchly Married.
Rev. Kassan Smith, who spent a

Eastern Oregon last summer, has a
woman not on nis trail. Mrs. Mollie
Smith writes to the cheriff, claiming
to be Kdsson's wife and wanting to
know his whereabouts. She says he
left her in 1898 without being divorced,
and understands that he has a wife at
Milton, Eastern Oregon, whom he
also deserted. She wrote to the sher
iff of Walla Walla (Wash.) county and
he answered that Smith had six wives.
Mrs. Smith states that part of her
husband's religion was that a man
should be entitled to all the wives be
wanted. Evidently, if her story be
true, Kasson is practicing what he
preaches. Roseburg Beyiew.

was found not far from his cabin, but
the snow was so deep that no further
search was made for the rest of the
remains. Mr. Johns was a pioneer of
Walla Walla county and his mysterious
disaDpearence some 10 years ago led to
the belief that he had been murdered,
but nothing has ever transpired to

THREATENING OCR INTEKKSl.".
A Proposition to Have Prineville Sup
plied With Mail From Moro.
There is a move on foot to get the
postal department to change the mail
route to Prineville so that it shall
start from Moro, the present terminus
of the Colurab'a Southern, instead of
from The Dalles, and unless some
effort is made by the people of The
Dalles, tbe change is liable to be made,
since it will be a shorter route by
some 20 miles than the present route
hat effect such a change would
have upon the business of The Dalles
can reailily be imagined whan the
amount of business that is received
from points alone- the line between
nere and Prineville are taken into
consideration. .Not only the direct
trade but the indirect trade ni'ist be
considered. 11ns being trip starting
point of the stage line for Printville
and intermediate poinis, whenever
persons living along the line need
anything not procurable at home, they
send direct to dealers here for it, be
cause it can be supplied more readily
from The Dalles than from other
points, but should the terminus of
their stage line re changed they will
send direct to Portland for such sup
plies. Then there is the trade that
centers here because of parties coming
in from the interior on the stages.
Even en route to Portland, they stop
here to await the arrival of trains, 'and
purchase needed articles, that creates
a trade for our merchants that is by
no means insignificant. It therefore
behooves the people of The Dalles to
awake to their interests, and if pos
sible prevent the change in the Prine
ville stage line.
If the change would give the people
of the interior a better service, it
would of course bo impossible to pre
vent it, but it will not. Mail trains
arrive here at such times that the
mails can be supplied more readily to
the stage from here than from any
any other point, hence the service to
the interior cannoti be lmnaired by
retaining present arrangements.
The Times-Mountaineer has fre
quently called the attention of its
readers to encroachments that were
liable to be made upon the trade of
the city, by a failure to look after our
own interests, and it would again in
sist that business men and property
owners would interest themselves
more in these matters, and if possible
prevent tbe loss of any more trade.
This is only the beginning of what we
will lose if we sit idly waiting for what
comes to us by reason of our being
here.
The Columbia.
The following ode to the Columbia
was published in the Oregonian several
years ago, pnd is reprinted today in

one of its patrons:
Boll on, fair Columbia, roll on in thy glory:
Koll on with thy beaming and silvery tide
Thy beautiful banks are renowned in bright
story :
Thy wide sweeping stream Is our love and
-,oi;,iiride1
For ages far back thou huaUoUed in thy splen
dor. ?
Through forests In which the red Indian
roved :
And tbe sunbeam has glittered and the star
beam shone tender
On thy breast as it onward in majesty moved.
And still roll thou onward, O beautiful river
Thy banks are still glorious, thy waters still
bright,;
Roll on to the ocean forever and ever.
Still beaming, still sparkling, stillglad to the
sight. Samuel f. futnam.
