"Ths question is premature" replied
Treasurer Guerra, "but think q very fOt-
midAbls candidate just now would bo
General Morti. He is IN exile from Cuba,
and q ERn Of great worth. The presaat

chiefly, rem his indefatigable eudeavorp
His executive ability Is andoubted."
General Marti said:
Revolution is again awakening In
Cuba A. to the seizure Of those arms that
the dispatches tell about, know nothing
l cannot say where, or how many, arms
my countrymen have introduced into
Cuba, or when, or to what extent, seizures
have been made. do not know that the
espionage of the Spanish authorities is
thorough, though not so thorough as
tyrannical. The assertion that General
Gomez has come to this country as a re-
suit OF that seizure is false He has come
here TO attend TO matters that are of far
more Importance than the landing or the
seizure of few rifles. Nor will he tarry
here long, and when he goes away it will
be with the purpose of extending his patri-
Otic efforts in other localities.
1--WE are undertaking nothing which is
contrary to the law, unless it can be said
that your own forefathers were law
breakers, some one hundred and twenty
years ago. The spirit of Cuban indepen-
dence has slumbered for ten years, but it
is now awakening. l cannot say what our
plans are, but Imay state that our finances
are of sufficient strength as to enable us
to carry out our present plans"
Subsequently the reporter had an inter
view with General Gomez at the Hotel
Central, on West Fourteenth street. In
answer to questions he said:
81 should prefer to keep out of the
papers, but I can see no way out of this
matter than TO make a few statements. !
came here to do certain work. What that
work is l decline to state nt present, but
you may learn something of the details
within few days if you will go to see my
friend Mart about the end of the week.
If he chooses at the end of the week to tell
yeu what plans have been formed he can
do SO. If he does not choose you win learn
nothing.
''As TO the capture OF guns and ammu-
milton that have been reported l cannot
speak do not know any more than Mr..
Marti what has been done on the island of
Cuba since l left there. / may say, how
ever, that many conHguments of rifles and
their necessary ammunition have reached
the island with or without my knowledge.
How much has fallen into the hands OF
the patriots it would be impossible for me
to define
my presence here is simply to further
the ends of the society of the Cuban revo-
lutionary party. The word revolutionary
is false in a way; it should be the party of
freedom. The people ont the island of Cuba
are, as you know, all full Of that one idea
of freedom. You in the United States
have that call made upon you for twenty
five years or more. l am not a Cuban born
myself, but IA soon rs / learned of the real
desire Of these people enlisted myself to
the end that if could help secure that one
purpose for the sufferers on the island OF
Cuba-no matter whether it is Cuba OF
any other place. was with them. came
here because | was asked TO come. The
idea that | fed after the seizure of a couple
of hundred rifles is simply ridiculous.
