GENERALS ARE WRANGLING

Gomez Soon to BE Notified of His Rein
statement as Commander-inC Chief
of the Army.

Havana, April S.-Bartolome Masso
and Mayia Rodriguez have been named
by the generals as members of the ad-
visory board. The wrangling over the
naming of the third member con-
tinues.
General Gomez had talk with Gov
ernor General Brooke, in which he said
that Gen. Mayia Rodriguez and John
Bartolome Masso. former president Of
the Cuban republic. would act as a
committee of the army with him to aid
General Brooke in the distribution of
the $3,0OO,0 900 advanced by the United
States for the payment of the Cuban
troops.
General Gomez will be formally noti-
fed by the Cuban generals Tomorrow
of his reinstatement as COMMANDMENTS
chief of the Cuban army.
The wrangling among the Cuban gen
erals continues. The commanders of
the forces last night visited General
Gomez and unofficially informed him
of the contemplated action. Another
meeting was held this morning. but
several of the commanders had re-
turned to the country during the night
and consequently were not present.
The whole matter has assumed a
farcical aspect. The scoffers express
doubt that any concerted action will
be taken, but tomorrow VIII probably
determine the matter.
