Threatens Rebellion if it is .noT En T trusted With: Distribution of - the $3,000,000 Pund. , Havana, March 14. Commattees. f rom Matanzas, Cardenas, Clenf uegos and Pinar del Rio have arrived to join in the great demonstration in honor of Gomez tomorrow. The .assembly;', aup ponted by Genral Rodriguez and a par of the army, has ordered the arrest -of Colonel Acea for taking part in yesiter day's demonstration. Acea will appeal to Brooke for protection. The assembly still maintains its abus ive attitude, threatening to rebel if tha American governiment does not entrust it With the distribuion of the $3,000,000. and refuses to guarantee a loan of. $15, 000,000. ? At the assembly's -meeting to day a committee comsistmg of Villailour Hevia and Despaigue were appointed to go to Washington and ask McKinley to gu-arantee the loan. Some of the hot blooded want to es tablish a republic by the force of arms. A manifesto was approved today and will be issued tomorrow. It lis chiefly devoted to insulting Gomez -amd threat ening the peace of the country. At a secret meeting of the assembly ' tonight an attempt was made to raise funds to send the commissioners to Washington. ASSEMBLY TO BE DISPERSED. Washington, March 14. The govern ment expects to hear at any time from General Brooke thatt he has dispersed the socalied Cuban assembly. An ex change of telegrams today between the war department and' Brooke resulted in an understaaidng that no further at tempts Dy tne assembly to ulsturb ex Lsting conditions will be toleraled. Brooke said he expeqted lto dissolve the body. y The dissatisf action, of the administna. tion sd'th the assembly has been grow Infe for;' several weeks. - Its v action in deposing Gomez and refusing to isaac tion the payment of (the army and its expressed intemtion to defy American authority angered the officials... The im pression is that Brooke will prevent further sittings of the body, but he may wait to see if they persist in their de fiant course. At any rate he won't rec ognize the assembly as representative, but treat it as he would any disturbing element. Brooke has tthe co-operation of Gomez, who, when the assembly is dispersed, will be recognized "as the representatlive of the Cuban army. The assembly wasn't elected, by the Cuban people but by -the army of lib eration. Its present attitude is due ta the fact that McKinley ignored it by treating with Gomez directly. HOW.

Sensational Testimony Submitted by Members of the Beef Packing Pirm of Swift & Co- Chicago, March 14. Gustavus Swift," head of the firm that supplied millions of pounds of refrigerated beef to the troops, was before the board of inquiry today and repudiated the proviision of the contracts calling for seventy two hours' preservation af ter the beef had been landed, declaring his firm under stood that the meat was to be supplied to the port stations only, and not guar anteed for a longer period than twenty four hours. Other witnesses had testified 'that re frigerated beef could not be kept fresh long enough to be (transported to the interior of Porto Rico. Swifi admitted that he had consider ed methods of preserving the beef with clhemicals, but left the impression that he; had never adopted the scheme in practical, packing. Horace C.

The New Light of the American In eandjescent 'Light company, of Meriden, !onn.,vwas on exhibition in front of Raysor's drug tore on Patton, avenue last - night. Its brilliancy attracted' much attention. Mr. Cody was on hand to" explain its leading points. The lamp has a brightness beyond that of elec tricity an arc light looks dull and paCe beside it and everybody is sur prised to fleam that it burns gasoline. Its cost is about one eighth that of elec tricity or gas. The. safety as well as the economy of the lamp strongly rec ommtnd it for both business places and residences. The gasoline is kept in a five gallon tank in the cellar (or out of doors) ahdy automatically forced through tubes as fine as slender wire to the lamps. The flow is positively Teg ular, the iamps easily controlled and not liable to get out of order. Mr. Cody can be seen1 at. Raysor's for all informa tion regarding the lights.
