PLUCIlY OLD GENERAL GOMEZ.

PLUCISY OLD GENERAL GOMEZ.
There are able generals on the Cuban
side, but Maxine Gomez is the chief
brain of the insurgent force. It is diff
ficult to withhold our admiration from
this aged chief. He is a creole, but OF
Haytian birth. Educated In Spain,
where he shared in military service, in
deed serving in regiment as captain
where Weyler was the colonel; a cam
didate for the presidency OF Costa Rica
and the leading spirit in the ten years
war, he seems to be, although in no
unworthy sense, a soldier Of fortune.
But there can be no question: OF his
intense and patriotic desire for Cuban
freedom. When at the beginning Of the
present war Marti, president OF the re-
public, approached Gbmez's humble
house in, Monte Cristo, San Domingo, 10
tender to him the command of the in
surgent army, he found the old warrior
living calmly and happily in the midst
Of his large family. He was then ~
and poor, his wife and daughters, by
teaching music and by other feminine
arts supporting the household. He
knew perfectly wen what he was un-
dertal1ng, for he had fought through
the entire ten years war He immedi-
ately accepted the charge, plucked him
self away from his family, crossed the
channel and disappeared in the fast
nesses OF the Cuban mountains. 1t Is
difficult to read without tears the no
bic proclamation he issued to the Gu
ban people. All the world knows the
history since With a mere handful
OF undisciplined troops, half clad and
poorly armed, numbering at NO time
more than $4,000, he has held at bay
harassed and led about at will a Span
ish army of 100000 regulars until he
has become the despair of every Span
ish general, and now seems to near the
goal TO which his splendid valor has
ever been 1eading.-Chicago Advance.
