Gen. Gomez Insists with Vigor
ca Independence Of Cuba.

Gen. Gomez Makes Speech in Ha-
vana and the Local Press Praises
the Demands-The Attitude To-
| wards America-An Audience Of
Negroes.
Habana, July l2.-At a meeting
held last evening in the Payret
| theatre, after the street demonstra-
tion and parade in his honor, Gen.
Galberto Gomez was himself the
principal speaker. In the course Of
a long address, dealing with the
reasons for beginning the war against
Spain, he said: Il am now, as I
always have been, separatist; and l
still demand the separation that I
asked before the war, not only sepa-
ration from Spain, but from any and
all other Da:ions. People only begin
a revolution when tLis is absolutely
necessary to life and progress. If a
superior force deters them before
this object is attained, there is merely
the question of delay.
The revolution will inevitably re-
turn. Nations, like stars, have their
seasons of eclipse: but, following
orbits, they emerge and accomplish
their final destiny. The destiny of
Cuba is only independence. The
basic ideas of the revolution were no
mystery and, therefore, synopsis
now, which would really remind US
of past suffering and Of incidents only
to be recalled with horror, is unneces-
sary. Still we would retun to those
direful days if it had to be. Honor
is as much necessity in national life
as is food in the life of the individual,
and it ought to be ENSURED, if possible,
even though the attempt may result
in catastrophe ard death.
"Such disasters we can avoid by
perfect unison, by raising our voices
to declare that this country is ours
and that we want it for ourselves, by
forgetting our enmities, by ebliterat,
ing personalities, by drawing a line
through our terrible past and by de,
voting ourselves to the future.
I'VE should give due thanks to the
Americans whose progress and power
inspire our admiration, but this does
not mean that we shall resign our.
selves to tutelage to be exercised
over US. Let US make the same
statement to the United States that
the American colonies made to Eng
land when they declared in 1776 that
the Americans owned North America"
The entire speech was in this
spirit. The local press praises it to-
day as "the most important occur
renee since January 1st."
Most of those present at the meet
ing were negroes and many Of the
banners borne in the procession
showed the legend Of Independence
or death"

These new buildings are being con-

justly compensated for their loss,
being, perhaps earlier rewarded for
their labors than they had antici-
pated.
