GOMEZ WANTS NO WAR.

New York, March PA special to
the Tribune from Havana, via Key West,
says:
Word has been received direct from
Gen. Gomez at his camp near Sancti
Spiritus, Santa Clara province. A week
ago when o messenger left him he was
planning an insurgent campaign which
would follow the expected recognition
of Cuban independence by the United
States Apparently he did not think
Spain would Immediately accept in
tervention of mediation by the Washing
ton administration and he believed the
recognition of independence would fol-
low the refusal.
Gen. Gomez seems to think that while
Spain will not now accept the good
offices of the United States she may ulti-
mately do SO. Then he believes the best
proposition is for the purchase of the ISL
and by the Cubans under guarantee by
the United States.
~ hope,' continued Gen. Gomez,
s.there will be no war between the Unit
ed States and Spain. 1t would be costly.
besides l fear that If hostilities between
the two Countries come it will add to
the burdens of the Cubans when inde-
pendence is secured. The island is a
desert and will remain SO while Spain's
rule continues. Tao much should not be
laid upon it when psace comes.

AT WAR DEPARTMENT.
Senator Proctor Was One of the Callers
Yesterday,

Washington, March Ex-senator Proctor
of Vermont was one of the callers at the
War Department and spent considerable
time with Secretary Alger.
General Wilson, chief of engineers, was
called in. 1t is said their conference re-
lated to matters other than thoss bearing
on the general Cuban situation. Much of
the secretary's remaining time was taken
up in conference with Gen. Wilson, chief
Of engineers, General Flagler, chief of
ordnance, and General Greedy, chief sig
nal officer.
An incident of the general plan of
preparation for any emergency that may
urise is found in an order issued today by
Adjutant General Corbin with the ap-
proyal of the commanding general of the
army. This order contemplates the sup
ply of artillery posts not already having
them. of various military adjuncts .neces-
sary for proper discharge of duties that
may arise At all such post commanders
are to have compiled the best charts
possible for the use of their respective
commands by detail of officers and men
under their command from such data as
may be on hand or readily obtainable.
Suitable base lines are to be laid Off, care
fully measured and accurately marked on
the harbor chart. When no range and
position finders have been installed
acquisitions are to be made for them and
while awaiting their arrival arrangements
will be improvised for position finding.
Where electrical installations have not
been made already. acquisitions are to
be forwarded to the signal department. for
the necessary material. At posts where
eight inch converted rifles and ten and
fifteen inch smooth bore guns are already
mounted, and bearing upon channels and
especially upon the proposed location of
mine fields, post commanders are to place
them in as perfect condition as possible
and where suitable ammunition is not on
hand, acquisitions are to be made at once
upon the ordnance department..
