the Keuiovnl of General Gunter.
Havana, March 14—At a meeting of
the Cnbau assembly this afternoon Gen-
eral Sanguilly introduced a motion pro-
testing againttacceptanoeof the $3,000,-
•00, precedi g it with a long preamble
-declaring the assembly was ready to eo
operate with the United States in main-
taining order in Cuba. The motion call-
ed for the adoption of three resolutions.
The first extended the thanks of the
assembly to the United States for aid
daring the recent war The second
thanked the United States for the offer
of $1.W00,000, but went on to assert that
"owing to the assembly's exact know!
•dge of the needs of Cuban soldiers, its
members consider it their duty to de-
«lare the amount insufficient. We can
nat honorably accept it as a gift, bnt
only as loan. The resolution proceeds:
""As President McKinley’s authorization
Is necessary to raise funds needed to
accomplish the disarming of the Cuban
troops it will exclusively be used for
this pn rpose.”
The third resolution appointed a com
»)ttee of three to present these resolu-
tions to President McKinley.
General Sanguilly’s motion was oar-
wed by 18 votes to 4.
A document justification of the
removal of General Gomez was read
It is very loug. and cites cases to show
the disobedience of General Gomez to
the assembly, declaring that those fa
miliar with the inner history of the war
know that strained relations always
existed between him and the Cuban
eivil authorities. It. reviews his inter
view with Robert P. Porter, and lays
wtrees upon the fact that Gomez has
virtually ignored the assembly during
the last two months. The document is
in eff-ot an eulogy of members of the
aeeembiy, and a declaration that they
have done their duty.
Certain passages’ referring scathingly
to peoole of Havana, who yesterday ex-
pressed the disapproval of the assem-
bly’s actiou on Saturday, were elimiu-
afe-d after an undignified and heated
(discussion. The document of justifica-
tion was finally aocepted by aoclama
tion. The committee appointed to pre-
-ueut the resolutions consists of Senores
Villan, Havana, and Dispigna.
This evening a rumor was in circula-
tion that the Washington government
■will dissolve the assembly.

No. I Hom H«v« a Jolly Ce cbratlon—
Mayor Mag ffla Made a Speech.
The christening of the new chemical
engine last night was the occasion for a
general turnout and grand celebration
by El Paso's firemen, and the ball of
the new building was well filled with a
jolly crowd of tne best citizens of the
city.
Dr.W.M. Yandell called the meeting
to order in a brief address, congratula-
ting the department on its handsome
bnildiug aud the occasion of the naming
of its new engine He expressed great
satisfaction at the name chosen aud re-
ferred in fl itteriug terms to Mayor Ma-
goffin’s work on behalf of the city.
Responding Mayor Magoffin said;
‘Gsutiem-m of the ifira d->ptrtmant, I
have been so busy today I can scarcely
gather my thoughts to address you. bnt
I can say that I deeply appreciate the
honor you have conferred upon me, for
if there is anything that is gratifying
to a public servaut it is tbe g rnd will of
the people and your action in naming
your new engine after me has showu
that you appreciate the fact that the
members of the city council as well > s
myself have done everything in their
power for the advancement of our city.
Notwithstanding that we had thedn-
advantage of entering office under tbe
shadow of a great calamity aud later of
a pestilence we have overcome all ob-
stacles and are now on the brink of
promise.
We have bailt around the city a
levee at a cost of manv thousands of
dollars. It has been built without any
cost to the city, entirely by individual
efforts aud wituout any cost to tbe tax
payers.
We have cancelled $175,000 worth
of water bonds. When we went iuto
office the bouds of the city were hawk-
ed around in the market without price.
Now they are as good as those of any
city in the state of Texas and are sought
after every where. We have just sold
bonds beariug only 5 per cent interest
at a large premium and have $50,000 in
the city treasury.
‘We are building a new school honee
in the Second ward. We have complet-
ed your new home and the new city
hall is about to be erected.
'It is a matter of congratulation not
only to you but also to myself and the
members of the council that such pro-
gress has beeu made, This will prob
ably be the last time that I may address
yon on such an occasion or the last time
I shall ever address yon. At the ex-
piration of this term I expect to retire
to private life but I say to you, gentle-
men. that your old mayor is with you
first, last and all the time.”
The close of the mayor’s address was
greeted with applause and after refresh-
ments had been passed around a id
music by the McGiuty baud Hon. P;y
t m F. Edwards in response to a call
delivered a brief address.
He said he could scarcely fiud words
to express his gratifi ation at being able
to address tbe firetneu in that new hall
on such an occasion He spoke of the
feelings of the firemen a year ago when
they were turned ont of their old quar-
ters and left homeless, and contrasted
it with tbe present He paid a high
tribute to the work of the department,
which he said was second to none, and
spoke in the highest terms of Mayor
Magoffin and his work on behalf of the
department} and the city. Judge Ed-
wards' address aroused great enthusi-
asm, and was frequently interrupted by
great applause.
Short- addresses were also delivered
by Colonel E. W. Neff and others, and
amusement was fnrnished by the color-
ed waiters who executed clog dances
and jigs to the music in a way that
kept everybody in fits of laughtir.
The meeting adjourned at a late honr
in the best of spirit and amid the best
wishes of all for the success of tbe fire
department and the new chemical en-
gine, the "Joseph Magoffin No. 1.”

A few steps to most auv neighbor will tell you the plain truth about th«
amazing results that have followed its use.
Paine’s celery compound is so far above any other spring medicine in ifc»
strengthening, nerve-restoring, blood making, health-giving, lasting effects that
it has no competitor. The old ‘‘cures” one by one, in the last few years hav*
dropped by the way, until today the sales of Paine’s celery compound in every
civilized country are larger than those of all other spring remedies of all kind*
combined.
PaiDe’s celery compound is the one spring medicine endorsed by physicians
because it is the only known remedy, that for all run-down conditions of tha
nerves, brain and tisanes, and for purifying the blood (especially in the spring
when the body is most amenable to improvement) has never yet failed. In the
spring take Paine’s oelery compound.
