fo r I ts R e p a y m e n t.
New York. Ja n . 18.—According to
Brigadier-G eneral Jose Miguel Gomez,
a member of the Cuban commission in
W ashington, tlie Cuban arm y is sure to
receive tlie three years’ pay to which
it is entitled, $40,000,000 being ad­
vanced by the U nited States, witli tho
custom-houses of Cuba as security for
its payment.
Brigadier-General Gomez, who has
just arrived in this city from W ashing­
ton, is grateful for the way the commis­
sion lias been received. The negotia­
tions, it is expected, will be completed
by the end of this m onth, when the
commission will return to Cuba. G en­
eral Gomez said last night:
“ Our hopes have all been realized.
A t first, however, things looked dark
for us. Poor General G arcia was the
m ost pessimistic member of the com­
mission. He had little hope for the
success of our plans when he left for
W ashington. Tire rest of the commis­
sion argued, however, th a t as the
A m ericans had taken charge of Cuba
and thus prevented us from raising
money, we had a right to request a loan
w ith which to pay off our men. Gen­
eral G arcia asked for only $ 100 for
each man.
“ The other commissioners protested
because of the small am ount. Then
came the general’s death, and for the
tim e being negotiations were suspend­
ed. A t our next meeting it was agreed
th a t an official list of the men in the
Cuban arm y would be required before
any agreem ent could be readied. Ac­
cordingly, I left for Cuba, whence 1
returned on January 6 w ith the re­
quired document.
“ There are 47,000 men to be paid in
the Cuban arm y. Tiie am ount we
have requested is $40,000,000, to he
turned over to us either in one or thiee
payments. We will give ns security
th e custom-houses in Cuba. Should
the government not care to lend ut
that-sum , wo are w illing to take one-
third ol it and later pay the men the
rest.
“ As affairs now stand, I th ink we
will receive tlie am ount in three pay­
ments. This, however, is not decided
yet. Tiie late Mr. Dingley was in fa­
vor of giving us the am ount in one pay­
m ent. ”
Speaking of the present condition of
affairs in Havana, G eneral Gomez
said it was had.
“ There appears to be muoh disagree­
m ent among the A merican soldiers,”
be continued, “ and no one seems tc
know w hat liia power is. Some one
gives an order, and tiie next man coun­
term ands it. As a result the govern­
m ent of Havana is not as smooth as it
m ight be.
“ General Brooke, however, is well
liked, and the Cubans are more than
w illing to help him. General L ud­
low’s orders preventing the Cubans
from from taking any p art in the
‘evacuation parade,’ caused a great deal
of ill-feeling. T his is now done away
w ith, and there need he no fear of a
clash between the Cubans Hnd the
Americans.
“ The American soldiers nre a fine
pet of men, and do not give any tro u ­
ble. We are done with war, and want
peace, but nevertheless we would never
tolerate ti e condition of affairs which
is reported to exist in Porto Rico.
“ General Brooke, I am told, is about
to name a committee of Cubans, whe
will act as his advisers. Mendez Cap­
ote, president of the assembly at Santa
Cruz del Sur, will be placed a t the
head of the commission.
“ General Maximo Gomez will re­
main in the field u n til the army is^ is-
banded. He will then make his hour«
in Havana. A fter the men in the
army are paid off, we will try to prove
to this country th a t we are fully able
to govern Cuba.
“ The paying off of the nrmy is the
most im poitant move toward establish­
ing tranqunility on the island. If we
should not lie able to raise the money
trouble with the men would follow.”
