ion. The general smiled contemptu-
ously, after glnnciug over a copy of an
Havana paper containing the terms,
and snid:
There Is no use wasting time In discussing
these terms It makes no difference whether
they may be regarded as liberal or not. The
foct remains that we are not fighting for suton-
omy but for independence This Spain seems
utterly unable to realize. We have been told
that the autonomy offer Is an act OF liberality
by the mother country to induce the patriots In
arms TO resume their allegiance to Spain. That
Is worse than folly. 1t Is an insult to the men
fighting for freedom. There Is not in the Cuban
army one o1lcer so base as to accept such
terms We will not even listen to any over
lures and any person entering our camps for
such purpose Will be put to death In accord
ance with my general orders
Continuing, Gen. Gomez said that he
had no faith in the ability of Spain to
Immediately plant autonomy, even in
the sections under Spanish control,
but whether she succeeded or not, the
matter was of no moment to the men
in the field, who would continue to
fight, animated by love of freedom
and an absolute confidence in ultimate
success. The correspondent asked
Gen. Gomez for his opinion as to Amer
lean Intervention and the annexation
of Cuba to the United States. He re-
piled:
Intervention does not necessarily imply an
nexation. would gladly accept the former as
! would accept aid from any quarter, although
l believe II left alone we will achieve our own
independence unaided, and am loath that we
should be robbed OF eny share in the honor of
the expulsion OF the Spanisrds As far as an
nexation is concerned, cannot admit its pos
sibility. To that proposition make the same
reply as do to the autonomy plan-that our
object Is Independence. We have among US
young men who have sacrificed everything TO
this sacred cause. For myself, am an old
man, who now has but one object In life, and
that is to see the nag OF Cuba supreme from
Cape Mayst TO San Antonio.
We hsve already made fearful sacrifices and
we stand ready to make more in order TO
achieve this glorious end know that the
people of the United States will never bsik US
In this our hour OF victory. The idea of arbi-
trary anuexation OF this territory is inconsist-
ent with the principles upon which the Amer
lean republic Is founded. Ii In the future. after
Cuba has won her freedom ana It Is demon
strated that she Is capable OF self-government.
Il became apparent that her interests would be
advanced By Incorporation into the United
States. would be the last to object IL an ap-
pltcation should be made for the honor OF ad-
mission to the great sisterhood OF states. That
Is q very different thing from annexation
Asked as to his views On an Ameri-
can protectorate over the island, Gen.
Gomez replied that he had no objec-
tion, believing il would carry guar
antee of peace at home. with the re-
spect of all nations, and would permit
Cuba to work ont her destiny under
the most favorable conditions. In re-
turn, he believes that Cuba should, in
her commerce, favor the United States
