Ward's Modest ami Generous Requests. Washington, March 11.—Two things, in the opinion of Secretary Long, . so creditable to the naval service have oc curred recently that they deserve to be made public. One is.the request of Admiral Higginson, which is contained in the following letter: “Washington, D. C., March 10. 1890. "Sir: I respectfully request to be al lowed to resume my former number on the naval list after Rear Admiral Kempff. While deeply grateful to iln* President and yourself for my nomina tion. for work done off Santiago, I do not regard my own services as so con spicuous as to warrant my advancement while the other eomamling nomi nated at the same time as myself go unrewarded. They were a gallant band of naval officers and certainly deserved well of their country, and if their ser vices are to go unrecognized, I desire to share the same fate. “Very respectfully, (Signed) FRANCIS .1. HIGGINSON. - “Rear Admiral U. S. N." “To Hon. J. I>. Long, Secretary of the Navy.” Admiral lligginson's name was on the long list sent in by the President for advancement for gallant service off Santiago. Probably by inadvertence Admiral lligginson’s name was confirm ed apart from the rest, which the Sen ate adjourned without confirming. Secretary Long has addressed the fol lowing: “Admiral: Will you let me express mv high appreciation ol’ your very hand some and considerate conduct in asking to resume your former number on tin navy list, rather than to accent the ad vancement which places you above other officers who for their gallant services in the recent war, deserved :v-ogiiitiOn. but failed to receive it owing to tin failure of (he Senate to,act upon (heir recommendations sent in by the I'resi • dent. The spirit which you manifest is so admirable that 1 hasten to write you this letter.” The other is the case of Lieutenant Aaron Ward, who was recommended by the board of promotions for advance ment. On learning of this, lie wrote to the Department declining advance ment, inasmuch as it gave him prece dence over his class-mates, Lieutenant Staunton, stating that lie did not feel that the actions in which his vessel ware engaged were of so great, value as to justify him in availing himself of tin opportunity. "Jt is impossible,” said he, “for me The News and Observer. Leads all north Carolina dailies in news and cdrculatdo^ willingly to accept the promotion which might deprive such an officer of a com mission in tin- highest grade.” The recommendation made by the board of promotions in the case of Lieutenant Ward was not sent in to the Senate; all the promotions recom mended by that board having been held back to wait the result of those which had been pending since the opening of the session and which the Senate ad journed without confirming.

BAILEY ON IMPERIALISM SPEAKS IN BUFFALO AS GUEST OF THF INDEPENDENT CLUB. Why Should we Aggravate the Race Qu-stion The Parly Against Empire that of the People. Buffalo, N. A’., March 11.—Represen tative Joseph A\\ Bailey, of Texas, was the guest of the Independent Club at their March dinner tonight. About three hundred members of the club and invited guests assembled in the banquet room of the Ellicott Club to welcome the dis tinguished Congressman. Mr. Bailey was heartily applauded, and it was some minutes before ho. could speak. His theme was "Imperialism.” H e repeated his well known views on the subject and incidentally referred to tin* tariff, free silver and other ques tions of public interest. The Filipinos, he declared, could main tain as good a government as some of the South American States. If, as Admiral Dewey has declared, the Fili pinos wore as capable of governing themselves as the Cubans, why not let them govern themselvesV lie would say to them assemble peacefully, form your government and we will recognize you. There should be no taxation, however, without repre sentation. “Onr friends, the enemy,” he continued, “had had some difficulty in keeping the peace in the Southern States and I have had some difficulty in assist ing them. Why shall we aggravate the race question further. The Southern negro is a prince compared with the Filipino.” He then referred to the recent Presi dential campaign and the epithets ap plied to each party, and said it is light we want now. not heat. Referring to the increase of the army, he said every war in which this country had partici pated had been won by volunteers, and yet the powers that be would destroy this patriotic feeling by employing hired soldiers to tight its battles. Referring to the future title of President, he said it \yuild probably be tin* "President of the United States and Emperor of the Philippine Islands.” - In conclusion hi* said he would pledge his life—yes his independence, which lu* valued more—that the party that stands for the Union against empire will com mand the suffrage of the American peo ple, Mr. Bailey’s remarks were frequently interrupted by applause. Letters were read from Whitelaw Reid and Senator-elect Beveridge, of In diana. regretting their inability to ac cept invitations to address the club. The Register of Deeds yesterday is sued a marriage license to Mr. Am brose Hobbs, aged 50, of Holly Springs, and Miss Francis t’orriua Horton, aged 23, of the same place. Mr. C. (’.

Havana. March 11.—The Cuban -Mil itary Assembly, in public session, this afternoon, impeached General Maximo Gomez and removed him from his com mand as general-in-chief of the Cuban army, th first ballot taken resulting in twenty-six votes being cast in support of the motion to itnpeach and remove General Gomez against four in opposi tion. The meeting lasted from two o'clock until .seven. General only supporters wer - General Gespedes and General Nunez. The original motion, which was in-tre duced by Senor Manuel Sanguilly. pro vided for the abolition of the grade of g neral-iin-ihief, but an amendment was offered to this by Senor Aguerro which read "to abolish the grade of general in-chief. and to remove General Gomez for failure in his military duties and disobedience to the ass. mbly.” Senor Aguerro declared that Gomez was insurbordinate and should be pun ished and Senor Sanguilly insinuated that the* General was a traitor to Cuba. Much passion was evident in the spe"i-hes. in some of which Gomez was declared to have been delinquent in his duties and disobedient because he had accepted the proposition of Robert I*. Porter, President Melvin! y's special emissary, without consulting the assem bly, because he had taken upon himself the arrangements for the payment and disarming of the Cuban troops indepen dent of the ass mbly and because lie had declared to the assembly that he would observe its rulings in so fur as lit* con sidered them beneficial to Cuba. Tin* assembly again declared that the $3,000,000 was insufficient, and that it lias not yet accepted the proposition. Tin* discussion of this question will soon lie taken up, now that General Gonn-z has been removed. Senor Gonzales do Qitcsada. who ac companied Mr. Porter in Cuba, was at tacked by Senors Gualberto Gomez. San guilly and Agu rro. who declared that he had acted in had faith and had de ceived them. Senor Aguerro likened tjil* present conditions confronting tin* as sembly to those that confronted the French Chamber when it was propose! to impeach President MacMahan. Colonel Mora, and General Nuntjz declared that the present step was use less and would make the ass. mbly ridiculous in the eyes of the world Among the principal speakers were Sumrs Sanguilly. and Radi*. Aguerro. i Gualberto Gomez. ( Vspedes, Nunez, Villalon and Lastra. Tomorrow General Gomez will be of ficially notified of the assembly’s action. General Gomez is believed to be strong or than the assembly in flic affection of the Cuban army. Many privates are anxious to leave the army and go to work, especially when they arc able to obtain money to start them itulife anew. Th. position of the assembly is nota bly weak, as tin* military administra tion supports General Gomez as do also the planters and property owning cle ment. who arc tired of the Cuban army, which subsists half upon charity and half upon contributions levied by means of threats. -HE ASSEMBLY CENSURED. , _ # General Gomez Says He Enjoys the Situation. . Havana, March 11.—General Gomez received at Molinas this evening a tele phone message announcing to him the assembly’s decision. He answered calmly, “All right; I enjoy the situation.” He then came to Havana to keep a dinner engagement with his daughter at the house of a friend. General Carrillo of General Gomez’ staff, as commander of the Sixth Cuban Army Corps, it is reported, is now engaged in writing a document dis charging from the assembly those mem bers who represent that corps, declar ing that they obtained their posts as army representatives illegally. At the termination of the session of the assembly Senor Lustra strongly criticised some of President Andrade’s rulings and was sharply called to order by President Andrade, who immediately declared the meeting over. A violent discussion ensued between Senor Lastra and the President. Senor Santa Maria, formerly President of the Cuban Republic, was the second man signing the Sanguilly motion l'or im peachment as amended by Senor Aguerro. The news* of the action of the assem bly is all over Havana, and the cases around the piaza are filled with ex cited men discussing the subject. The general expression is one of strong cen sure of the The next meet ing of that body will be held on Mon day. 0 The surrendered arms of the Cuban troops will, in accordance with an agree ment between Governor General Brooke and General Gomez, be stored at Ha vana and Santiago, in the general cus tody of the United States, but under the immediate charge of Cubans in the cm* ploy of tin* military government. Every Cuban soldier must give up his arms, third editions PRICE FIVE CENTS even if they were bought by himself, or else lie will receive iu> share of the money advanced by tin* 1 nited States. TO RECEIVE HIS REMAINS. Arrangements Being Made to Receive The Remains of Lieut.
