General Gomez is one OF the greatest.
mysteries of the Cuban war. No one
seems TO know exactly where he is or
what he is doing. Under his manage
ment the cause of Cuban independence
has assumed tremendous proportions:
but during all this time according to the
Spanish accounts he has either been in the
last stages of consumption or slowly dy-
ing from the effects nf Il wound received
early in the war. The Cubans on the
other hand have HIM frequently ut the
head of fresh columns that are sweeping
over the island like II cyclone now within
il few miles OF Havana with 10000 men.
and again hundreds OF miles away with
n small detachment gathering stray cat
tie previous to going into winter quar-
tcrs. With Maceo it was different. lie
fought his enemies whenever he came in
contact with then and while he lived
his name was II tower Of strength to the
Cuban cause. Since his trcacherous tax
ing off there has been much talk about
what General Gomez intends to do; but.
so far rs actual results are concerned.
neither the Spanish nor the Cuban nc
counts, as far as can he ascertained, give
him credit for Il single substantial sue
cess. Nlaceo was the Stonewal Jackson
of Cuba. but it is by no means certain
that Gomez is the General Lee of the I'm.
happy island.
