HIS DREAR OF UHITED REPUBICS

Other Interesting Facts AboutSpaniards and Insurgents.

As stated In Monday's Star, I began torealize that to obtain a correct and Intelli-gent view of the entire situation there wereother requisites bes being merely outside the city of Havana. To be sure, whenwith the Spanish columns I was allowed tosee everything and know everything thatwas going on. The trouble came when myletters or telegrams were ready for trans-mittal. Then were they examined by thesuperior officers of the column, and, in the

with several persons conneceted with therevolutionary movement. They were en-gaged In mercantile pursuits In the city,and were regarded by the governmentas firm supporters of the crown.One of them, a little man, with fierce

mrustache and goatee, said to me one day:"I know you are an American, and being

such you are in sympathy with the rebels,for you Americans always have kindly feel-ings for those who are struggling for lber-ty. Therefore. I will tput you in the way ofobtaining Cuban passports that you mayv'sit Gen. Gomez and write the true condi-

machetes. Banderas* force was almostwholly composed of negroes, stout., athleticfellows, who were apparently happy, de-spite the- fact that a large majority werewithout shoes. I learned that many ofthem had never worn shoes of any descrip-tion, and would scout the idea of havingany. There was no lawlessness apparent.and as I mentally compared these rebeltroops with the forces of Spain I said. "TheCubans will win."Gen. Gomez impressed me as a man of

brains and wonderful energetic power. Histhoughts came rapidly, and he spoke witheasy clearness and (mphasis. He did notappear narrow-minded, but discussed allthe Important phases of the rerolutionwith A frankness that was almost surpris-ing.As events have proven, Gen. Gomes is at

once one of the most brilliant and astutemilitary men of the generation. With anInferior fore. in point of number, and aforce poorly armed in comparison to thatof the enemy, he marched from the ex-treme eastern end of Cuba to the very gateof Havana, the lock of which he almostpicked with the point of the machete. Hehas outwitted Spain's greatest general, andhe will whip Spain's greatest butcher. Go-mez is a pigmy in physique, but a giant inmental force and military ability.

I am not prepared to say that Gen. Gomesis personally in favor of the annexation ofCuba to the United States, although he isreally the only Cuban leader of importancewho has not expressed himself on that point.When I questioned him regarding the mat-ter he simply said he did not care to discussit just then.

I learned from other sources, which I havereason to consider as being very reliable,that Gen. Gomez has dreams of his ownwith reference to Cubas future. He doesnot aspire to the presidency of the island,when independence is secured, but will re-tire to his home in Santo Domingo, wherehis family now reside.President Cisneros will not care to keep

in office after the fall of Havana, and, there-fore, the first president of the free Cubanrepublic wIll b Gen. Antonio Maceo.The dream of Gen. Gome is for a sort of a

united republic of the West Indies, to in-clude Cuba, Saito Domingo. Hayli. PortoRica and possibly Jamaica, with a centralgovernment at Havana. Could this schemebe brought to a successful Issue then hewould willingly accept the presidency of theaggreg;,tion.But the great hope of his life has been the

freeing of Cuba. On one occasion he said:"I want neither ofiles nor wealth, but if Ican see Cuba liberated and independent Ishall die happily."Shortly before I saw Gen. Gomez his

forces had severed the International cableline, running overland between Havana andBatabano. wh!ch was the favorite route fordiplomatic correspondence between the gov-ernments at Washington and Caracas. Thefact was called to the attention of Gomez,and he was reminded that just at that timehe should not interfere with communicationb:t ween the United States and Venezuela.To this he replied: "Oh, I am sorry; butperhaps the g-overnment at Washington willrow realize that a war really exists inCuba."Should Be Recognised as BelligerentsAt the same time, speaking to me regard-

ing the attitude of the United States in thematter of belligerency, Gomes said: "I ad-mire and love the American republic, but itis impossible for me to understand why weshould not be recognized as belligerents.We suffer greater wrongs than did theearly American colonists, who threw off theyoke of Great Britain, and we have moretroops in the field than were ever gatheredtogether by the thirteen states, yet theAmerican government declines to sharewith the patriots now fighting the honorand glory -of freeing Cuba. We have takenthe words of Patrick Henry as our motto,and will have 'liberty or death.' "I can imagine the bright smile that will

chase over his little bronzed face when hehears of the late action of Congress on thatquestion that worried him so much. Clear-er than ever will he see the star of Cubanliberty rising over the island.On only one occasion during my exper-ience in Cuba did I believe, even for a few

It Will G. to A. P. A. Commnis in aVery Pew Says.

The advisory board of the American Pro..tective Association Is expected to makeknown within a few days its report on therepublican presidential candidates. The re-port may be now in the malls on Its wayto the various state councils and officers.It is learned that after adjourning its

meeting here and going to New York, theboard also held a meeting In Boston andc-ne in Cincinnati. The inference Is thatthe Cincinnati meeting was to ascertainacsme things about McKinley which couldnot be picked up outside of Ohio. The NeerYork, Boston and Cincinnati papers seemto have been left out In the cold In gettingthe news about what was done.One fact has positively been learned. The

board has prepared Its report. Se~eral ofthe presidential candidates are favorablyspoken of, several are condemned as bseingunworthy of the support of the members,and as to the others the report Is non-comn-srnittal.A prominent A. P. A. man, talking to a

Star reporter, said: "The board ought tohave done Its work ninety days ago. Ithas acted so late as to render It Impractica-ble for the order to make a fight in any ofthe state and congressional conventions."Asked if the advisory board would aiso

pass judgment upon the democratic candi-dates for the presidential nomination, thegentleman answered In the adfirmative, liesaid the board would meet for this purposeso soon as It was known what candidatescore In the race for t e democratic nomni-nation. The board will also pass upon pop-ulist and silver candidates.
