Dewet Advises Loyalty West Indian Medals Fatal Fishing Party De nial by President Palma Invest!' gating Strike Good Crop Pro Pect To Help Out Pan-American. President Roosevelt's reciprocity message gave the senators a live topic of conversation, but so far as Is yet apparent there is no change In the situation. There was a disposition on the part of leaders on both sides of the controversy to claim, when speaking publicly, some advantage from the message Thu stialght reciprocity men urged that tho effect would he to cause aU least Bouie of the beet sugar Republi cans to abandon their opposition. They contended that many of them had misunderstood the attitude of the president and now that this had been made clear there could be no lunger any excuse for opposing straight rec iprocity measures. The message, they argued, would clear the atmosphere, render the president's attitude un mistakable and therefore bring oppo nents within tho party face to face with the fact that in continuing their opposition they are antagonizing the official head of the party. The bect sugar leaders declared at tho close thnt the message had caused no loss whatever to them and that all those senators who had stood with them before are still with them. They also asserted that the presi dent's Interposition In the matter had had the effect of causing to hesitate some senators who heretofore had not taken a positive stand against reduc tion, because of the feeling that the president should leave congress to deal with the subject In its present ftagfi. Dewet Advises Loyalty. The appearance of General Dewet at the camp at Wlnhurg was the sig nal for a great display of enthusiasm. When he arrived at the camp General Dewet was at once surrounded by thousands of Boer men, women and children, who struggled aiid clam ored to shake the hand of their hero, General Dewet mounted a table and delivered an address. He warmly applauded the staunch support that the women had given the burghers during the war, which, he said, had greatly encouraged the men In the Odd. Continuing General Dewet recom mended his hearers 'to be loyal to the new government and said: "Perhaps It Is hard for you to hear this from my mouth, but God has decided thus. fousht until there tbs no more hopo of upholding our cause, and however bitter it may be the time has now come to lay down our arms. As a Christian people, God now demands that we be faithful to our new gov ernment. Let us submit to his de cision." Neither Gen. Dewet nor Mr. Steyn, former president of the old Orango Free State, was wounded during the war. General Dewet has not seen his wife for two years. West Indian Campaign Medals. The navy department has completed Its ccmpllution of the officers and men who are to be decorated with the West Indian campaign medal. The list totals in round numbers 800 offi cers and about tioo enlisted men. Of this number, the engagement at Santiago bay. In which the greatest number of vessels took part, makes up the largest proportion. Admiral Schley and all the fleet officers and men will get medals, and the family of Admiral Sampson will be given the one intended for the deceased ad miral. A great many of these officers and men will have bars attached to their medals to show that they were also at Manzanlllo, Nlpe Day or other points selected by the beard of awards as those at which an engagement worthy of a medal was fought. The meritorious service medal will go to persons who rendered exception al service, like Blue, Ward, Hohson and Wainwrlght. The list i f persons to whom this medal will be given Is still under consideration by the board of awards. Fatal Fishing Party. Two men lost their lives and a third was probably fatally injured at Ron ton, pa., l.i one of the saddest drown ing accidents known In that vicinity. The Bailey and Hlleman families, about 1C in all, left their homes in Rosston and went to the banks of Crooked Run, a short distance away. While fishing with a net for minnows the net became entangled In a snag. Young Kirk Bailey swam out to see what the trouble was and his feet be came entnngled in the net. Andrew Hileman started to the res cue and he, too, became caught in the net. Dwlght Bailey, the boy's fnther, jumped into the water to aid his drowning son and also became en tangled. Young Bailey and Mr. Hile man were drowned and Mr. Bailey will probably die. During all the time the men were struggling in the water their wives and families were on the bank agoniz ing and helpless. Tho people aro prominent In Armstrong county. Deaths In a Sanitarium Fire. Twelve men and one woman were killed and about thirty other persons were badly injured In a fire which destroyed the sanitarium conducted by tho St. Luke's society, ut tho cor ner of Wabash avenue and 21st street, Chicago. The society occupied the building wnicn was long known as the Hotel Woodruff and for a brief period as the Hotel Lancaster. By far the greater portion of the patients re ceived in tho institution were those seeking cure from the drink habit and those who were addicted to the use of drugs. When the lire broko ut, there was on the fifth floor a number of patients suffering from delirium tremens, and some who tvere deranged by drugs. Several of these were strapped to their beds and It was found inpossi ble to save them so rapidly did the fire spread through the buildings Denial by President Palma. President Palma and General Gomez were questioned by a correspondent with regard to the story published in the United States to the effect that General Gomez had received a bribe of $25,000 frcm the administration of the United States to withdraw from the presidential campaign in Cuba In favor of Senor Palma. President Palma Indignantly denied that he had been party to any scheme to have General Gomez withdraw from the campaign In bis favor. He also spoke for General Gomez who was present when Senor Palma was questnoned on this matter. The president of Cuba said that to insinuate that General Gomez had been bought by a bribe of $25,000 was to question the honesty and integrity of Gomez and himself and that such at tacks would pass unanswered. Learning Cause of Strike. The Information called for by Pres ident Roosevelt about the coal strike has been secured and will soon be presented to him In the form of an official report by Carroll D. Wright, United btutes commissioner of labor. The report which will be prolific with facts and figures, will touch at the root of the difficulty and will ex plain the "real causes" leading to the great Industrial conflict, which causes have been jealously guarded by both sides. Mr. Wright, who declares that he has not been acting as an arbi trator or pacificator in presenting the facts and figures, will not make any suggestions or recommendations. What UBe President Roosevelt will make of the official report when It reaches him will only be known when he takes the public Into his confidence. Good Crop Prospects. Labor troubles cloud the immediate outlook, but good crop prospects fairly well assure future trade. The effect of the anthracite coal striko is no longer localized. It affects dis tributive trade In a wider area and higher prices for fuel reduce profits of manufacturers generally throughout the East. Farm products strengthened slight ly in prices this week. Sugar reflected tha active demand of the past two weeks for canning purposes in a frac tional advance. Despite dry weather affecting some of the smaller fruit crops, the outlook In this line is exceptionally favorable, Tho peach crop outlook is certainly a good cno and the demand for canning purposes promises to be active throughout the summer. Abolishing Grade Crossings. The New York state railroad com mission l.as Just Issued an order directing the discontinuance of the Kossuth street, Field street and Buf falo highway grade crossings of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad and the Kossuth street grade crossing of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg railway in Gates, Monroe county, and orders the laying out of new streets to pass underneath the tracks of the said railroads.

Secretary Authorized Payments of Money to General Gomez Position of the Department as Given Out by a High Official Says It Was Necessary to Avoid Paralleling the Situation In the Philippine Islands. Known to Congress Long Ago. Washington, June 17. Secretary Root has assumed full responsibility for the payment of money to General Gomez by General Wood, during the American occupation of Cuba and If congress asks for an explanation of the matter, he stands prepared to fur nish what he regards as the most con vincing proofs that the payments were dictated by tha wisest statesmanship. At the war department a high offi cial stilted the position of the depart ment In the matter of payments to General Gomez as follows: "The conditions In Cuba two years ago were precarious. Not a Cuban be lieved that the United States govern ment ever would withdraw from Cuba and the half famished veterans of the Cuban army were in a dangerous mood and clamoring for their pay. General Gomez was the head and front of their army, and had served the revolution ary cause as its principal leader with out having received a cent of pay. General Wood thought and Secretary Root thought afterward that General Gomez was entitled to consideration; to a home which was supplied him and In which he entertained his comrades, and to an income which last might be set down as a small offset to the money due Gomez from the Cuban re public. "That the Cubans themselves re garded the matter in the same light was shown by the passage by the pres ent Cuban congress, among the very first of Its acts, of a bill providing a liberal pension for General Gomez, "It Is believed that but for this assumption of the costs of Gomez' liv ing expenses, the conditions In Cuba might have paralleled theme in the Philippines and the United States gov ernment after fighting Spain to secure freedom for the Cubans might have been obliged to turn on them the force of her armies. "The necessity being present then, In Secretary Root's view, the only other point was the legality and pro priety of the payments. He soon sat isfied himself that there was not the slightest doubt on that score. Tho military governor was obliged to as sume the responslbilty for his dis bursements and to exercise his dis cretion.. General Brooke did this and after him General Wood and Secre tary Root now fully approves of every thing they did, including the pay. ments to Gomez." It Is pointed out at the war depart ment as a curious fact that congress has been In full possession of the In formation that Gomez had been re ceiving these payments for no less than two years past; that the war department far back submitted to con gress the full statement of all expenl tures In Cuba and Included In the list was a statement of payments to General Gomez.

Satur day ended the fifth week of the an thracite coal miners' strike. Neither side has weakened an inch and each side stands just as firmly as it did $5 days ago. As the days go by it becomes ap parent that it is a case of the "survival of the fittest." Neither the miner nor the operator has anything further to propose, and if a solution of the dis pute Is to come it looks very much as though it will have to come from a third party. The entire region was quiet and the district affected by the striko presents a Sundaylike appearance.
