General Gomez Particulars were received IN
Havana to-day Of his recent utterances at
Remedies and Caibarien. AT the latter place
he and his staff were invited to a breakfast
given by the Spanish colony This Spanish
colony is an organization OF Spanards all over
the island, which sprung up almost sponta-
neously a few weeks before the Spanish SOW
ereignty ended. It's avowed purpose is TO pre-
serve the unity Of language and interests IN
Cuba. and 1t has supplanted all the other or
ganizations Of the Spanish classes. 1t IL not
hostile 10 the American authority but It's po-
ntical policy is not fully developed General
Gomez had twofod purpose In accepting the
invitation. as he wanted to reassure the span
ish residents in Cuba that his promises MADE
during the insurrection, would be kept ana
also wanted 10 impress on his insurgent follow
ers that they must bury their animosities AT TINS
dinner Of the Spanish colony General Gomez
repeated that he had made war against Spain
and not against the Spaniards and that Sali

ment Of insurgent troops and the establish
ment of a Cuban republic. ,v~rI.
The American officials stationed at Caibarien
were invited by the Spanish colony to assist In
the reception to Gomez and accepted. All the
newspapers attach extraordinary significance to
Gomezs utterances. The leading Cuban ones
fall into line and radical sheets hich have been
advising a boycott % the Spanards moderate
their violence.
The Executive Committee of the Cuban Army
Assembly announces that Gomez will soon visit
Havana. His coming will be an interesting test
OF his influence and Of the degree TO which his
views are accepted
The workingmen in the city are showing un-
easiness over the change in money values. They
want their wages in American money as safe
guard and the laborers the docks struck to-
day 10 enforce their demand that American cur
rency be substituted for Spanish gold.
