A TASTE OF FREEDOM. That is All the Cubans Want. Savs General Gomez, Then Annexation. New York, July 9. A dinner was given tonight at the Union League club to General Maximo Gomez and General T. Estrada Palma, by W. E. D. Stokes. Mr. Stokes was formerly a member of the Cuban league of Amer ica, and was closely identified with the work of the junta, of which Gen era! Palma was the head. The Cuban general made a brief speech, which was interpreted by General Gonzales. General Gomez said he was deeply touched by the remarkable reception he had received in the United States. Cuba and the United States, said the general, belong together. It is onlv a question of gravitation when they will be one. but at present, after the great struggle in which thousands of lives were sacrificed, and when men returned to their homes only to find their wives and children starved to death in the restricted barriers in which Weyler had them tinder his policy of concentration, they felt that they must have Cuban libre. Jt is now fully realized. lie said that Cuba cannot get along without the United States, but the Cubans want to feel freedom. After dinner General Gomez said to the newspaper men that he wished to express his gratitude to the press of the United States and of the world for the great good they had dono to the cause of Cuban libre. He was sure that the Cubans would now establish their own government, and would show the gratitude they feel for the help of the Americans in removing the Spanish yoke.

Already abuses have sprung up in tho rural free delivery service, and prompt steps aro being taken to prevent their spread, if not stamp them out alto gether. Under a recent order of the postoflice department, carriers on rural routes were granted permission to deliver and carry packages for per sons living along tho routes. Com plaints soon piled in that many car riers, acting under this order, have been making it a practico to deliver or sell goods along their routes, which were furnished by merchants, grocery men or liquor dealers, who sought this means of reaching rural custom ers. This manner of busincs, on a small scale, would, perhaps, have been unobjectionable, but in a num ber of instances the carriers became so industrious in attending to their out side deliveries that they neglected their mails, and in consequence a second order has now been issued prohibiting rural carriers from engag ing in any other luminous whilo per forming their duties as carriers. This was merely a case of privilege abused by the few, and in consequence de nied to all. Thero wero many routes where carriers conducted this outside business in an unobjectionable man ner, but they will bo affected.
