HAVANA. Jan. 2S.-Gen. Maxine Gomez has
written letter to J. D. Pogo. editor Of NJ Ydrd.
published at Key West. in which he strongly
condemns the Generals and other officers Of
the Cuban Army who have accepted Offices
under the Americans without having
been previously recognized as mem
bers of the Cuban Army. Gen. Gomez
says that these Offices we're accepted by the
| apoointees IN their capacity as private indi-
! viduals and not as Cuban chiefs. Such
! distinction, however. is unlawful and
dishonest. he says. as many OF those
appointed are officially in command OF
divisions of the Cuban Army. Before accept
! ing these offices. Gen. Gomez says. their duty
was to resign their military commands and en-
trely sever all connection with the Cuban
| Army. Gen Gomez expresses his entire sym
| pathy with all Cubans who are disposed to
work Independently in agriculture or any other
| industrial pursuit, but he says he is greatly
| disgusted with ofiiceseekers.
| Senior Pogo has not yet published the letter.
! but the Cuban newsper FL Reconcentrddo is
going to print 1t. The letter will fall like a
bombshel among the Cubans.

OF trouble on account OF the non payment OF
