4 GKXERAL M. GOMEZ HERE THi: (IRAN LEADER MYSTERIOUS ABOUT THE rrurosE OF HIS visit. ¦ I cannot sneak about anything." said Gen eral Maximo Gomes at the Waldorf-Astoria last night. To every question that was asked him he made the same reply and shook his head mysteriously. The General reached this city yesterday at 3:30 p. m. He was accompanied by his son. Urbano Gomez, and Alexander Gonzales, the private secretary of General Wood. The party after landing at Tampa had come north on the Atlantic Coast Express by way of Charleston, Savannah and Philadelphia. When the general left the train at the Penn sylvania Railroad terminus ln Jersey City a crowd of friends and admirers gathered about him to shake his hand. He seemed averse, how ever, to any demonstration, and took shelter behind one of the doors of the waiting room. There he was discovered by a young Cuban woman who appeared to know him, and who greeted him with outstretched hands. The for mer leader of the Cuban revolutionists seemed somewhat frightened at this attack, and with a bow to the young woman he chose a better vantage ground near the ticket chopper. With the announcement that the ferryboat had arrived. General Gomez manoeuvred suc cessfully in outflanking the crowd and in se curing a secluded seat in the boat. Gonsales assumed the pnokesmar.ship of the tarty finally, and as endeavored to explain the reticence of the general to the newspaper men by saying: "The general ht s come to the United States, but he does not want to give the reason. He expects to see General Estrada Pa'ma. formerly the head of the Cuban Junta ln the city, and a fellow comrade of the general's in the war. and also to visit President McKinley. Nevertheless, he docs not wart to cay why he will see the President. We will stay In New-York several days, but we don't want to say Just BOW lone. General Gomez may make a statement Monday." About half way across the river a photographer attempted to take the general's: picture. On per ceiving, however, that he was to be the subject of the portrait. General Gomez protested vigor ously, and hastily retired to a more secluded corner of the cabin. He did not keep his eyes off the camera until the boat reached the New- i York shore, where, despite his vigilance, the i camera fiend snapped him on the gangplank. The party was driven to the Waldorf. Later In the evening. General Gomez, his son, Urbano; ¦General Palma, and Gonzales took dinner in the caff of th» hotel. The meeting of General ; Gomez and General Palma was intensely dra matic. Each <-rnbrac?d the other and kissed | each other's cheek repeatedly. Because of the mystery which the Cubans have thrown about themselves, various rumors j arose as to the purpose of their visit. One re- ' port was to the effect that the visit was for the ] purpose of conferring with resident Cubans j and United States officials regarding the Cuban j bond issue. : The conference with General Palma was inter- : preted by many as part of a plan to persuade ! General Palma to run as the popular candidate '. for the Cuban Presidency. To the latter report General Palma would make neither confirmation j nor denial. General Gomez attracted marked attention on the ferryboat and in the hotel because of his , striking costume. He was dressed ln a loose ; white suit and a black derby hat. His face is a j dark brown, to which the white hair of his mus tache and short chin whiskers afforded a strik ing contrast. j DEfiERTIOXs FROM THF VERMONT. AN OFFICER OF THE RECEIVINO SHIP gATB THE MEN XRB NOT "NEARLY SO BATH..T TRRATED AS THEY REPRESENT." In the last month there have been between forty and fifty desertions of sailors and marines from the receiving ship Vermont, in the. navy yard. The men say the desertions are due to rigorous disci pline, the abolishment of the canteen and to over work. An officer of the Vermont paid yesterday that the sailors and marines were not nearly bo badly treated as they represented. It was true, the of ficer added, that because of disorderly conduct the guard of marines on the Cob Dock had been de prived of the privilege of lying on the grass under the trees ln front of the quarters, and it was also true that some privileges which Captain Taylor. the predecessor of Captain Snow, had allowed had been curtailed as unnecessary. The reason why th* marine guard cannot now lie on th« grass is that some four of the members and | twenty "jackies" from the Vermont went aboard If the Braiillan schoolshlp Benjamin Constant and ' nearly cr-at«-d a riot. This was reported to Cap tain Snow, who, being unable to learn the names or the parties concerned, took away the privilege Rio which they had always been accustomed. PETROLEUM IN ROCHESTER SEWERS.

Glenney did not prove as strong as his previous play had promised The fact that he had forced "Archie"' Graham, the former champion, to lower his ,-olors on Friday was taken to mean an ex citing match in the finals, but. as usual ln such eases, the reaction proved his undoing.

Notwithstanding the bank failure, and th<3 ! preparations tor the large July disbursements, the money market through the past week has been only slightly disturbed. For an hour or so. on the day of the failure, the call loan rats did run up as high as IB per cent, with an average for the day of perhaps 10 per cent; but fo r th» whole weo.t, the average has been about 8 per cent. This Is a pretty good showing under the circumstances. • Yesterday's bank statement was about as expected. There was a ten million decrease In the loan item, and the surplus re serve was Increased, instead of decreasing as It has for some time past. The stock market grew stronger after its appearance. The general situation as affected by the fail urea which have so startled the public, was expressed by a conservative Investor and busi ness man. "It will *ake a <?ood deal more." said he. "than the •ma<h of the Seventh National and Martina rid & Co., to offset the prosperous conditions which are making this market." A, small bank run as an adjunct to a firm of speculative brokers, said firm being made up of two young men inheriting a good name— this la the situation in a nutshell. To suppose that any one in actual authority In the Seventh National was ignorant of the sort of business the bank was doing with Marquand & Co.. Is to suppose the impossible. It is an old story. We have had such things often enough in the past to be familiar with them, and we know be forehand about what will be shown when the search light of legal Investigation Is turned on the causes of the failure. It will be noted that the assignment of Marquand & Co. was made to an ofHeer of the company the promotion of which broke the firm and the bank. That. also, is a not unfamiliar occurrence. The assignee was quoted yesterday as saying that the loans of the firm are secured by good collateral, but expressly made exception of the 1 unties held by the broken bank. What this means, apparently, is that regular lenders re fused Sh.iwrr.ut Railroad bonds as collateral. and other el the firm's wild cats; which, in con sequence, went to the bank— a significant com ment on the remark above, that the bank was run as an adjunct of the firm. Satisfaction may be derived from this, as it indicates that th» affair is concentrated. The probable outcome will be that If there Is anything about the Seventh National worth saving, some otner institution will take it over; that some one or more persons will have to stand a criminal trial and go to jail: that th» Shawmut Railroad Company will go into th« hands of a receiver, and the property will final ly find its way into possession of some one of the great railroad companies^ at that com pany's own figure. Promotion of small wild cat railroads used to be quite an Industry some twenty years ago. Of late years, the industry has gone out of fashion. Industrials have taken their place. They cost less. Th* stock market was. very naturally, rather depressed during the early part of the week. It began to revive a little when, after the failure cf Marquand & Co.. the extensive line of stocks they were short of. were bought in for their ac count. There was probably, a not inconsidera ble short interest made by people who knew in, advance what was coming, and put out short linea in anticipation of a bad slump. It did not come, however. Here and there, losses of from three to five points were recorded between Mon day morning and Thursday afternoon: but the market as a whole stood the strain well, giving proof again that th*» big mi ami large corpora tions hold the stocks. When the turn did come, the list rallied easily, although irregularly. Two leaders in thajrUa were St. Paul and Il linois Central.. As to the former, it is well known, that the stock has become largely concentrated, in the hands of the Rockefeller party; who are very sanguine about the future. Illinois Central is probably not held in large blocks; it has ¦«*>* too many years bought and sold purely as an Investment security, which usually results in the stork getting scattered in small lets amons investors all over the- country. Speculative at tention is getting somewhat attracted to it now. berattpe of the comparatively low price at which 'he stock is selling — low. that is. compared with th«» earnings of th« property and th» prices c? other propfrtles not earning SO much. The figures given in this column last wepk we're interesting on this point. They snowed] that five year* ago, hen all railroads were running low on earnings, the Illinois Central came very close to. earning S per cent on its stock, based on th» common ratio of 6fi per cent working expenses, while none of th» other leading roada mentioned came anywhere rear this. At this' time, when the gross earning* have Increased heavily. the same ratio would give earnings of nearly HI per rent. But th 1 * Illinois Central upends more than 6H per cent— about 60 to 70. At this figure, the earnings will be between 11 and 12 per cent. It is enough t-> point out this to indicate the good margin there is for an advance in the market price si Illinois Central stock. Speaking of ratios of expenses. M hi worth while to note that the Nickel Plate securities have for many years been kept very low through the company taking about everything over what was required for fixed charges to spend or. the property. Working expenses have been as high as S3 per cent. This process of building and rebuilding has been going on until the road hi now all reconstructed; and the time cannot be far off when, the reconstruction work being completed, the cost of working will coma down to normal figures— which means dividends on each of its three classes of stock. It will be remembered that the Vanderbilts pursued the same policy with the Omaha road, and many ¦seals got very weary carrying the stock- while the harvest was waited for, the same as many have with the Nickel Plates. But the harvest came abundantly at last, and it will come with lbs Nickel Plate, which is another Omaha. The Atchlson stocks continue very strong, «>• the earnings the road is making, and what it Is expected to make on the business in sight. The preferred stock looks like a purchase. It Is pay ing its full S per cent now, and taking other things into consideration, it ought to sell above Hi. The announcement that Mr. Morgan had actually sailed for home seemed to stimulate speculation in the Readings. Erles and in the steel stocks. Very excellent May statements of earnings by the two companies first named save a substantial basis for this. The hard coal trade is in first class shape, and the coal prop erties In the fiscal year Just beginning ought to make big earnings. . \;« . - The question in respect to the steel stocks 13 th dividend. Not, of course, about that on the preferred, which is fixed at 7 per cent; but of that en the common. The directors meet on Tuesday, but they can adjourn the meeting possibly., for a day or two, to await Mr. Mor gan's return. If necessary. It Is commonly un derstood that the dividends will be at the rat» of 7 and 1 per cent. CUTHBERT MILLS.
