GOMEZ IS CONFIDENT.
Has Perfect Faith In the Good Insenflons
OF the UnIted states-Time wan
RIghs All Thfnws.

Washington, Nov. Following Il
an extract from letter received b.
Senior Quesada from Gen. Gomez, writ
ten October 20:
81 have full confidence in the solemn
promises made by the congress OF
Washington, and for that reason dc
not have any fear as to the independ'
ence of Cuba. Some time must elapse
before our ideal win be realized, but
after so many struggles and priva-
tions we can wait a little longer the
realization of our hopes.
Military Occupation.
The military occupation by the
United States is to certain extent
necessary to prepare and hurry the
evacuation of the Spanish and to bring
about harmony among the differenE
factions in Cuban politics.
During this military occupation
the republican government viii be or
ganized. Its decisions viii be finally
accepted by all; order will reign
everywhere
Try to Satisfy Their Spite.
''Those who speak now of annexa-
ton try to satisfy, above all. their
spite, propagating unfounded fears as
to personal security and private prop
erty.
1.-The success of our struggle has re-
quired necessary destruction of prop
erty which the enemy used to its adj
vantage, but we have never attacked
individuals.
1.-THE struggle against Spain is now
ended; we commence now a more del
icate and difficult task-namely, to
make our republican political system
triumph and to reconstruct the coun-
try.
Not an Easy Labor.
cit is not an easy labor, and all men
who love their country should con-
tribute to it; for that reason I can
not retire now, notwithstanding my 81
years.
''Most of the officers and soldiers
went into the field obeying my or
ders; I can not abandon them until
their future is assured. They have
lost everything they had. They have
a right to some compensation, and
above all to their salaries; the new
government must secure them.
The Disbandment Must Await Evacuation.
''The disbandment cannot occur un-
til the Spaniards have evacuated. MY
men can not be abandoned without
bread or work to the mercy of their
enemies. A solution could be found,
perhaps, in the plan which the Amer
lean government is said to have of
creating a native civil guard, formed
in the majority of Cuban soldiers.
This organization would offer the adj
vantage of not exposing the American
troops to the deadly climate of the
island, and at the same time the
United States would have people who
know the country thoroughly. In the
meanwhile, and until the evacuation
occurs, food must be provided for my
soldiers.
All VIII be Arranged After the Spaniards
Are Gone.
1.-THE evacuation should be as rapid
as possible, and afterward everything
will be arranged, for the American
government will fulfill its moral
pledges to US. Some people have tried
to make US suspicious, so as to, bring
about trouble, but before doubling
the good faith of the American people
we must wait for acts which viii give
the lie to their solemn pledge"
