slasm was worn off. Gomez demanded
the freedom of Caesar in the handling
Of the troops, and in land fighting for
liberty every ablebodied man owes his
services to the cause. Without a dicta-
tor there can be no cohesion in troublous
times Cuba had tried it and failed, and
Gomez had been in at the trial. He
went into the new movement as the
apotheosis of downtrodden Cuba. To re-
sist to eVade his mandates. was treason
to the cause. To shirk duty when the
cause was at stake could only be ac-
counted a crime.
Military necessity knows no law, not
even fne law Of humanity. 1t was bet
ter to suffer under a military tyrant
with victory and freedom for the out
come than to suffer under Spanish
cruelty, which must last forever Such
have been the feelings Of Gomez, and
the Cuban people have stood by him
until he has made record Of warfare
which, though stained with cruelty at
times, has won the admiration Of all
civilized nations
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1898-10-15

Twenty-Five years ago, when Gomez
was in his prime as fighter, he was o
dashing leader of cavalry. The ex-Con-
federate General Jordan urged the in
surgents to make use of cavalry, and
they took his advice. The upper class
Cubans in arms at that time We're rid
ers trained from boyhood. Horses were
more plentiful then than now, and some
of the fiercest charges were made by
cavalry. Gomez led his men with "a
dash through the Spanish ranks, hewing
away with the terrible machetes, and
then turning, plunged into the confus-
ed mass again. Men who are posted up
on the situation in Cuba say that the
best plan for this government would be
to furnish the insurgents with suitable
mounts and send them against the small
Spanish forces Of the interior.
There are but few scattered bands of
mounted insurgents in arms today. The
horses have been killed in battle or used
for food for the hungry soldiers. Being
small in stature and very 1.-the, the Gu
ban youth make splendid soldiers ON
horseback. The Spanish soldiers are
from the peasant class and are too
clumsy for the cavalry The few mount
ed men now fighting for Spain in Cuba
are renegade natives OF the guerrilla
type, who in peaceful times lived the
lives of our border outlaws. The Cuban
patriots love nothing better than to
hunt these misoreants down when they
have fleet steeds to match theirs. The
fighting of Gomez S followers in west
ern Cuba is now confined principally TO
the incursions by small bands of cavalry
into Spanish territory.
The chief terror to these local bands
of patriots is the Spanish guerrilla AS
far as possible the guerrillas initiate
the Cuban soldiers III dress and habit.
They Turk ON the outskirts of a camp,
and woe to the unfortunate patriot who
falls into their hands. II IS the atToci-
ties of these wretches which give to
the struggle the aspect of a bloody civil
feud. The Cubans give them no quar-
ter and Will be slow to shake hands
with them or with the native golun-
teers i'll the Spanish army after peace is
declared In fact, the prospect is that
