: M'! J Vj I I Gen Gomez Humane.l He Hopes That War May Be Averted. Cuba Is Ready to Bay Her Liberty- Other Cuban News. New York. March 28. A dispatch ti th Trihime from ilaana says: Word ha? been received by the Trlb juoe correspondent direct from Gen ,eral Gomez from his camp near ijanctl Spirltus, In Santa Clara proylnce. A ' week aeo when the messenger left him he was In excellent health and was planning an Insurgent campaign which should follow tlie cxpeciea recognition of Cuban Independence b the United States. Apparently be he did not think Spain would Imme diately accept, the Intervention or mediation of the Washington admin istration, and believed the recognition of Independence would follow the re cusal. Such action he regarded as a natural sequence to the Malue Incl 'dent, and the other Incidents bearing 'upon the portion taken In the presi dent's December message. While preparing to take advantage of whatever Is done, Gomez docs not look for an early ending of the Cuban war. Hlh idea Is that Spain will con tinue bucIi fighting as ha been going on, and will not at once leave the Island. Ills military plans are based on tills ylew, and he impressed upon the Insurgents that I hey must not expect Immediate Independence as a fact following the declaration. The Insurgent, commander M-etMS to think that while Spain will noL now accept the good odlces of the United States she may ultimately do so. Tnen he believes the proposition Is for the purchase or the Island by the Cubam under a guaranty by the United States. "That Is best for all parties," was hlslanguagc. "Wc could perhaps pay 8200,000,000 for Independence. If Spain will not take that, she will take nothing away from Cuba except her war debt, ir she will accept Indem nity before It Is too late we can pay It. The guaranty of the United States would be In the nature of a protector ate. Annexation would not follow. We know the American people do not want to annex Cuba. All they want Is a commercla'. treaty giving them trade advantages which are natur ully theirs. "I hope there will be no war be tween t;;e United States and Spain. It would be costly. The Spaniards are senselessly blind to their own weakness. Besides, I fear If hostili ties between the two countries come It will add to the burdens of the Cubans when Independence Is secured. Tiio Island Is a desert, and will re main so while Spain's rule continues. Too much should not be laid upon It when peace comes." The Tribune's correspondent's In formant says that Gomez discussed the relations of the United States and Spain, and always In language show ing his earnest desire that the Amer icans might be spared war. Ills anx iety was deep. It is probable that Gomez senti ments on this matter will be commun icated to President McKlnloy. He Is more concerned oyer It than anything else. Ho appears to think that in case of war Cuba would bo asked to pay a portion of Uie war expenses, which the resources of the Island would not bo sulllclent to meet. Onmez dismissed the suggestion of modifying autonomy so that it would be acceptable to tho Insurgents witu a Binulo word. Thoy will treat with Spain on no basis except that of out right Independence. This Is absolute. Ho spoko with bitterness of some memborsof tho autonomist govern ment who wcro trying to win his fol lowers by bribes, saying that the Cuban's would remember them. Thoso efforts ho declared were futile, as was shown by tho few Isolated Instances In which money had Induced Insur gents to present themselves. On tho other baud, Gomez said ho was constantly receiving reinforce ments, and gave boveral specific cases, Ho stated that In the eastern part of tho Island tho lnsurgonts have re ceived 1000 recruits since autonomy was proposed. Other evidences of their renewed strength were given. Perhaps the best evidence of this Is that tho Insurgents occupy a largo portion of Santa Clara province uniuo. lasted. Tho Spanish troops make no etlort to penetrate, even If the Insur gent camps are located. The present method of warfare, Gomez said, will bo kept up until 2 x I SchlUhs Best faking prvthr ought t3 , scjll for twict: as much ag tjitj next bust. e ii Be sure to got the kind you ask for, Paine's Celery Compound. Spain withdraws, ne still counts on the climate as a more potent means of destroying the Spanish army than the weapons of the Insurgents. For the Spanish soldiers he uttered the most kindly sentiments, saying that when peace came he hoped they would re main In Cuba and help In its recuper ation. Of Spanish property-owners In Cuba he reiterated previous declara tions that they would be protected In their property and would have noth ing to fear under a Cuban govern ment. Gomez spoke Incidently of interna tional SnanMt politics, but without any Idea that Its Cuban policy would be materially changed by what hap pens In Spain. Dc Lome, Gomez de scribed as an able but unscrupulous man, who saw the advantage of get ting away before the end came. Go uez said when recognition was accorded theie would be no trouble In finding the civil government of Cuba. He would quickly conduct the proper persons from his headquarters to It. Ills refusal to entertain any sug gestion of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba makes the detailed opinion of the latest programme of the radical autonomist backed by the Blanco government unnecessary, nis per sonal sympathy was extended to the American people for the Maine dis aster without assuming to Influence the policy which the administration should follow. He realllrmed his hope that the United States would not have war with Spain, the significance of which he 6ays lies In his belief that the ultimate solution of the Cuban problem is indemnity to Spain for Independence. That proposition may be unpopular In the United States; but it commends Itself to the com-mander-lu-chctf of the Insurgents, whose genius made the success of the revolution possible. In Decern ber, when Blanco's prospective military campaign and the annouccment of autonomy were unknown factors, Gomez held this view. In March, when the failure of that military campaign and the c lapse of the new system have left Spain's sovereignty parallzcd, he reit erates his conviction. JOURNAL "X-RAYS."

Discussing the subject of the true Christian mother, orators have grown eloquent and writers ardcnt.but when we near all they say. and feel all they could nerer utter centered In a being, gentle, tender and strong, our emo lions rather Intensity from silence. and conviction settles that higher be- iiei in our motner. A true mother Is the noblet type of mortals and one of Heavens greatest blessings to the world. This testi mony was borne by the many, whose presence ard words attested to the ac knowledtrenientof worth, durloe those days when all tbat was mortal of Mrs. T. Dunn lay in ber daughter's home In Salem, and who followed the re mains of this ideal Christian mother to their last sad resting place. Mrs. Dunn nee Rebecca AHpd was born at Gibraltar. Spain, November 1820. her father beini! in the English Army. Mr. Allen died when his daughter was still a child, and before tne little ucbecca had attained ber twelfth year, the death of her mother compelled her step-father to bring her to her mother's relatives In Clouoiel, Freelaud, A great aunt became a scond mother to the orphan child and with her and her presentation teach ers Rebecca grew to womanhood, en dowed with tnofe loveable traits of character which give home life all Its sweecness and charm. And stroDg In tier oeautirui trust in providence and that humble acquiescence to the de crees of Heaven. Whether they brought joy, or grief to tbat naturally sensitive soul, we may truly say of ner sne reared no evil, ror she Knew no guile At the age of 20 years, Miss Allen married Thomas Deadv Dudd. and shortly after the birth of their oldest son. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn came to St. Louis, Mo., This was the birth place of another son and two daughters, and here two deaths nrst entered the household in the guise of cholera and stole hence the two prom ising boys. During the gold excitement, In theearly 60's Mr. Dunn sought his fortune in the mines of California, after five years he sent for his family, and located at Sacramento. Here another daughter and son were added to the family. The Siskiyou mines offered an Inducement, and Mr Dunn, having claims here, moved to Wald t with his family, in '60, remain ing until 'C7, when he made his resi dence lu Salem. Here he remained until '78 and here his widow spent the remainder of her life with the excep tion of a few years na-sd In Oregon City with her daughter, Mrs. Mc Garth. Mrs. Dunn had made ber home what every true home should be. a sanctuary of love and happiness; her gentle re fined nature was ever fetrile in resources to contribute to the com fort of ber husband and children, her sons died young, but the three surviv ing dauehtrs, Mrs. McGrath, Miss Kebecca JJuon, oibalem, and sister M. Flavla. ofSU Mary's academy and college, Portland, have filled their motiier's lire witn some or that nap- plncs9,witn which she blessed their young years. Ail tnat nnai auectinn could devise was done. A daughter's love and care met her at every sttp and brightened her days, daughters' foresight veiled the griefs and enhanced the Joys, and when strong In her faith, fortltled by the last rites of Holy Church, but weak In body, and that dear heart faintly throbbing its last pulsations of love her daughters gratitude and love soothed the last hour and took from death somewhat of its sting. On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Dunn's daughters realized that life had lost its greatest charm as they looked on the Inanimate form of her who had been a devoted mother. On Thursday Requiem Mass was sung by Rev. Father Duminlc O. S. B. The Reverend Father paid a most beauti ful eulogy to the deceased. After the service the remains of Mrs. Dunu weredeposllcd by thesido of her hus band, whom she survived nineteen years. What Dr. A. E. Slater Says. Huffalo, N. Y.

On the destruction by explosion of the United States battle-ship "Maine" by treacherous foes in Havana har bor, February 15' 1898. 1 Without suspicion, gently sank toJ rest The rank and file of that ill-fated crew; Each heart beat calmly in each manly breast, And little thought of care the sleeper knew; No treacherous foe obtruded on the view Of dreamer's vision In his hammock bed, Nor guess'd the slumberer, as the moments flew, How soon he would be number'd with the dead, 'Mid horrid din and flashes fiery red. II. Pleasant the ripple of the placid bay, Gentle the swelling of the sobbing sea, Darkness had follow'd on departed day, Nature Inclined to peace and har mony; When there rose a glare quite sud denly And tbund'ring sound upon the stilly night, And hundreds sprang from time t'eternlty, 'Mid crash and splash and flash of lurid light, Blackness succeeding to a foam of white, III. A trcach'rous foe had selz'd upon his prey, And crushed his llfeout with elec tric spark; A treach'rous cowrdly foe who hates the day, And does his mur'drous actions in the dark, There are his victims lying stiff and stark, With arms upraised as if in mute appeal, Against such treachery. The waiting shark Now whets his teetlj to taste the horrid meal, Yet feels more mercy than these murd'rers feel. IV. Anon, from hill and dale and wooded glen The tralt'rous Spaniard sings a pssanloud, Rejoicing Id this murdering of men. Who died In tortures without shrift or shroud. There has bceu far more mercy in a crowd Of hostile Indians, sufl'rlng from defeat, Who to descend to treach'ry were too proud, And dar'd upon the field their foe to meet, in open day and standing on their feet. V. Acute qt infamy! treason's highest dome! Since Parthla fought with Rome, or Troy with Greece, Neycr did 'fiends of Inquisition's home More basely seek for braver men's release, And ne'er so cruel was a troop's de crease, And none but Spaniards such de struction crave, With whom brayo Cuba holds no thoughtlof eace, But gladly hopes for freedom or the grave, A death on land or death beneath the wave. VI. Oh! Land of Llbertyl Shall Spanish craft ' And crlmo deprive thee of a ship so true, And crew so noble.both before and aft Tho mast that flics the stars in a i n re blue And thoso bravo stripes tho world always know To mean "Nemo Impuno niel lacesslt?"
