land. General Maxine Gomez dimes
with her from three TO five time a

Madame Cespedes is the widow of
the first president of Cuba in the ten
years war and decisions reached at
her salon are far more effective than
any decree passed by. the recently de
funct Cuban assembly. Men of stand
ing who are devoted TO the principle
of Cuban national independence are
welcomed to the salon and assist in its
councils.
1t is believed by persons in a position
to know that full understanding has
been reached by Madame Cespedes and
General Gomez regarding Cuba's flu
ture, and the first real president of the
proposed republic, for all of the former
presidents have had office without
power. At one time Gomez was seri-
ously considered for the presidency
but after the action of the assembly
in assailing his course. it was con-
sidered that his candidacy would prob
ably meet with strong opposition. AS
the result of conversations at Madame
