ed a cent for their services and are said
to contemplate a strike. The assembly
fatuously failed to recognize the posi-
bility that President Mckinley will
not recognize it or its committee.
General Gomez is about to issue a
statement begging those who have n
trusted petitions to him for his own
action or for recommendation to Gen
eral Brooke to call at his Office for
their return. Having ceased to exer-
else the functions Of commander-in-
chief, he says he must not appear to
usurp powers of which he has been
bereft. The statement says he will
lament his inability to serve the pub
Lie.
Washington, March 14.-Senor Que
sada today received a cable message
from Santiago which says: "The peo-
pie Of Santiago disauthorlze the assem-
bly,, sustain Gomez, and are preparing
a public manifestation" The dis
patch is from Judge Sanchez, head of
the supreme court of Cuba.
1t is said the course of the assembly
is the first move in the formation of a
new political party in Cuba, the assem-
bly,, representing an element of malcon-
tents, while the Gomez element repre-
sents those favorable to the efforts OF
the United States to maintain peace
and order and advance the island as
fast as possible. Mr.. Quesada gave
out the following statement: 'The
action Of the assembly in deposing me
is in line with it's conduc. toward that
