PORTLAND. Or, Nov. 7.-Martino
Gomez, a gambler, formerly we'll known
here by the nickname "Gummy," is re-
ported in q letter received here yesterday
from Willis Hartwig, an ex-Portlander
now in Havana, 10 be one OF Captain
General VIEWERS most influential staff
officers in the Cuban capital. This man
belongs to a once very wealthy Mexican
family in Southern California, and re-
ceived q superior education in the Santa
/, Cara (CaD. College. Gomez, or rather
Abrego, his right name, was natural ad-
venturer and gambler, and soon after
graduating from the college he entered
upon a sporting life. Some months before
the Willard boom reached the zenith of its
imitation in this city Gomez won $4,000 al
Bill Briggs faro game in San Francisco
and the young Mexican, then scarcely %
years OF age, scenting good game" in the
north, came to Portland, where he soon
was recognized as the chief of the sporting
fraternity, because of his dash at the play
and by reason OF the lavish expenditure
OF his winnings.
Gomez was q handsome fellow, despite
his swarthy complexion. Ill fate threw
him into the society of young woman of
about % years, living in Oregon City.
This young woman had stalwart father
and an equally robust brother. They one
day encountered Gomez with the inten-
tion of killing him, ard their intended
victim is said 10 have paid SIC. 600 in cash
to save his life. Gomez pockcted his loss
without murmur and left for San Fran
cisco.
Hartwig says that one day he had busi-
ness in the aptain-generaps palace
where the first official he met asked
him if he was not from Portland, Or. Re-
plying in the affirmative the officer intro
.duced himself as Colonel Martino Abreg O.,
once known here as Gomez.
1t is ten years since Abrego left San
Francisco TO settle down as a tobacco
raiser in Cuba. The excitement incident
TO the revolution in the island again
aroused his adventuresome spiri. and he
forsook his legitimate occupation, becom-
ing captain of Spanish volunteers. At
The time of Captain General Weyler's
arrival in Havana Gomez or Abrego had
earned colonelcy by meritorious service
This brought him TO the notice of the COM
mandant three months later, resulting in
his appointment on Weyler's staff with
full rank as an officer in the regular army
OF Spain.
