PROPAGANDA AGAINST GOMEZ.
Ed emies of the Cuban Commander Say
He Is Too DesnOtic.

HAVANA, via Key West, Oct. 29.-The
central revolution committee of Havana,
Notwithstanding the receipt of several adj
vices from Maxine Gomez as to the criti-
cal condition of the forces under his COM
mand, has not sent any relief since the sep
aration of General Gomez's staff. A strong
propaganda is being agitated against
Gomez, who is charged with beng despotic,
and his enemies are taking every advantage
of his condition. The general wants to main
tain military ordinances and has issued
orders prohibiting dancing and other forms
of amusement in the camps. Although Gen.
Gomez has abandoned temporarily his trip
to Havana he will shortly visit one of his
nieces who resides in Guanabacoa, where
ne will remain several days.
1t is believed that the departure of Cen
eral Blanco and his staff for Spain, which
it is expected will take place about the mid
peace, as it. is asserted that some officers
who are intimate friends of the captain
general, and who have his confidence, have
been melting the Spanish troops and insur-
gent chiefs in the field to resist the Amer
leans by force OF arms If they are not at
once granted independence 1t is certain
that all the officers and other friends OF the
captain general who have been engaged IN
the work of agitattng the CubanS ana
others to resist the American forces Will re-
turn to Spain with General Blanco.
At several towns the Cuban chiefs have
clandestineIy published papers containing
indirect attacks upon General Gomez
Several kilograms have been exchanged
recently between the Spanish government
and Captain General Blanco with reference
to the policy pursued by some of the lat
ter's friends. The government character
lied the action of Blanco as not only i'm
prudent but unpatrotic. General Bianco de-
Tended himself against these charges, but
the government reiterated them in several
successive communications, censuring most
theoretically the proceedings of Blancos
friends. The Spanish authorities believe in
the sincerity of Blanco's protests, but ac-
cuse him of the greatest weakness in favor
ing persons whose conduct has tended to
embarrass the work of peace. 1t is said
that the 22.O00 men forming the volunteer
battalions in the province of Havana will
next week manifest TO General Blanco
through their chief their desire TO deliver
nm their arms before the 18th of November.
