New York, Feb. 1O.-The World tb;,
morning publishes an interview with Gen
Maximo Gomez, dated camp of Gen
Maximo Gomez, near Salado, province
OF santa Clara, Cuba, January 90. 1897
Gen. Gomez said in part:
SPAN will not grant any real reform
we no longer ask concessions from her
Even were SPANS proposals bona fide
nothing could move us to treat with her
I'VE are for liberty, not for Spanish
reform. We are for Cuba, not for Spain
am disguised with this talk of reform
Does Spain think we have forgotten the
lessons of the past? Liberty is what
we are fighting for, because it is one of
the most glorious gifts that God has be-
slowed upon man.
I'VE want nothing from Spain-Cuba
hates Spain. Home rule in it's broadcast
sense is independence. That is the kind
OF nome rule we want. If you ask would
we accept home rule with a Spanish can.
tain general, I would answer most en-
mo- We want nothing from
Spain. We do not want her captain
general nor her glory-if she has any
her care"
DO you believe the United States is
aid to SPAIN"
That is a delicate question" he an
swered. Il hope not. Still | will speak
plainly and with candor. 1t is certain
that the United States has not been our
ally. If the government at Washington
owes anything to the cause of liberty:
If it favors the struggle for freedom now
going on, it has not shown it even by an
expression of sympathy
When asked about the stock of ammu-
milton on hand, he did not speak.
Gould you materially increase the size
of your army if you had plenty of arms
and ammunition
Il could march into the province of
with $4,000 in MONTH" replied
Gen. Gomez, "and that would mean the
almost immediate freedom of Cuba, for
one Cuban is as good as two Spaniards.
More than that, | am convinced that
with $4,000 men, properly armed and
and supported by artillery, the
Spanish army could be driven from Cuba
within three months"
