GOMEZ THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
THE CUBAN LEADER NOW IN
MANTANZAS PROVINCE.
Though the Feeling Between General
Weyler and Admiral Navarro is
Bitter, There Will be No Duel.

NEW YORK, Jan. PA dispatch to
the sun" from Havana says 1t is re-
ported in this city that General Gomez
is in the province of Matanzas. The
whole attention of the island is now
centered on Gomez. although it is al-
ways difficult to tell with certainty the
whereabouts of the Cuban leader.
Gomez never permits his position to be
exactly known until he strikes one of
his unexpected blows. But that he
has passed the boundary of Santa Clara
Province appears quite certain.
Forty more persons were arrested
Monday and sent to the common ia:l
on political charges. Weyler's policy of
terror and persecution is producing the
natural effect of augmenting the insur-
gent forces. and at the same time is
stimulating the universal dissatisfac-
ton and the purpose to resist Spain TO
the very end
1t Is said that Major Fondiviella will
soon be promoted to the rank of Colonel.
The truth is that Weyler has offered
him a reward for his recent massa-
cres. Weyler is an intimate friend of
Fondiviella, and brought him to the
island as one of the men in whom he ha .
the greatest confidence He served nm
der Weyler In the Philippines and
Canary Islands. The news of his promo
ton for the savage butcheries which
have made him famous is therefore not
at all extraordinary
There Is no truth in the report. orig
mating in Key West. that the blowing
up OF the gunboat Cometa will result in
a duel between General Weyler and
Admiral Navarro. Nevertheless, as has
already been reported. there is a bitter
feeling and much rivalry and jealousy
between the navy and the army.
