Disbandment of the Assembly.
Havana. April 6.-1he Cuban military
assembly being dead Gen. Maxine
Gomez will take up his programme Of
solidifying the Cuban people into a party
that shall, without ceasing, urge the
United States to withdraw from the ISL

seem TO have but one emotion, one de-

absolute separation from the United

Gen. Gomez considers the dissolution
Of the assent bly, as his personal achieve

the controversy with the assembly, strong
er than ever with the better classes. His
theory is that the Cubans who before
thought him merely an adroit guerilla
chief, are now prepared to regard him
as political leader and that q few days
more will probably see him in name
general in chief OF the army.
Yesterday the Cuban general, Pedro

Of reinstatiDg Gomez as commander in

result that little or no opposition TO the
proposition developed. In order to get
q more general expression Of opinion 1t
was deoided to defer the general meet

candidate Is possible and If such action
is attempted, 1t will undoubtedly be
carried through.
Gen. Gomez, If reinstased. would be
of greater service to the United states

but his political programme means the
keeping up of the agitation and dis ur-

the weakening of American authority
by producing the impression that every

turned.

make him a constant disturber.
