GOMEZ TO ABANDON CUBA.

THE VETERAN REVOLUTIONIsT ANGERED
AT HIS TREATMENT BY THE ISLANDERS.
Havana, Aug General Gomez's secretary
has written letter to La Lucha" saying:
Gomez is now passing through a period Of dis
agreeable transition He has endeavored to OBJ
tain independence for the island for thirty
years, and his efforts have been little recog-
niZed. The sweat the horse Is hardly dry
when the rage Of those who did not dare TO take
the field by his side falls upon him. Insults
will not affect him more than II they were d.
rected against the Car Of Russia by person
with whom he had no connecting links. What
however, is irritating and painful, and has no
logical explanation. is the desire to injure him.
to despise the Dominican, to insult the stranger
who believes he has done much for Cuba They
would insult the old Dominican Republic which
has brilliantly served the Cuban cause more
than any Latin people with money, love ana
blood. The Dominicans called savages be-
cause their President was killed by the angered
hands Of vengeance; why then not call other
nations savages on account OF assassinations
committed in them?
In this connection he cites the instances Of
the killing OF President Garfield Of the United
States; Senior Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish
Premier and President Carnot. of the French
Republic Continuing, the writer says:
Some t-ubans think they can get at him by
means OF this unfortunate occurrence, accusing
him OF aspiring to 1ll the place made vacant
by the act Of the assassin, forgetting that he
aSplreS Stlll nlRner. Inc history OF MS llIc
proves that he prefers liberating those writing
things against him. II Cuba cannot see posi-
ton to offer him after all his efforts. how could
he see one in Santo Domingo? Besides. he is
not accustomed to live by filling such positions.
He is more inclined to a work which dgnfes
than to a post that enslaves. Those make a
mistake who think he aspres 10 anything In
Santo Domingo or Cuba. God forbid that he
should he employe Of high rank. He
thinks IT veritable misfortune to be President,
as on the field Of battle " brave man exposes
his life. while in the Presidential chair he ex-
poses his honor also. even II he has no valor.
Jiminez is the he hopes will be President
of the Dominican Republic.
Those in Cuba TO whom he Is a cause OF worry
need not be disturbed at seeing his family,
which only came here from pious motive,
which, being fulfilled, he and his family Will
abandon the land which has repaid his many
efforts with rancor General Gomez feels that
It would be better to be forgotten, to enjoy
reace and quiet with his loved ones who were
born free. He came here not TO weep with
slaves, but to animate them TO fight for liberty,
and triumph has crowned his efforts. Those VINO
want posts need not fear that he wants the
dictatorship. He goes home leaving the field
free

THE VENEZUELA BOUNDARY.
mALLEr- -PREvosr's ARGUMENT RESTRICTED by
THE TRIBUNAL.

Paris. Aug 1-At the session to-day OF the
Anglo-venezuelan Boundary Arbitration Com
mission the argument OF Mr.. Mallet-Prevos'' IN
his presentation OF the Venezuelan case was
confined to evidence chowing that after ltol
the whole trade of Guiana was In the hands OF
Spain.
s Mallet- Provost asserted that he supposed
the Dutch post on the Barima before 1866 never
existed yet It was largely on the assumption OF
the existence OF this post that schomburgk had
drawn his line at Amakuru, and the British
claim was founded on a source OF error. II was
obvious that Schomburgk had mistaken the
ward "Bauruma" which was Indian for the
word "Pomeroon" for "Barima-" There had
been a Dutch settlement on the Poneroon since
1858.
Sir Richard Webster. the British advocate
here intervened and said II was unnecessary 10
