THE UNION DEPOT SEEMS LIKELY.
Engineering Difficulties Reconched,
Iiut Agreement Not Yet Reached.

There has been no agreement up 10 the
present time between the officials of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Richmond
Petersburg and Carolina Railway compa-
nies I'm regard to the union-depot project
The engineering difficulties have all Deeh
reconciled. and plans have been worked
out by the engineers Of the two compa-
nles that now only need the signatures
OF the two presidents. There was no CON
ference OF officials yesterday. but 1t l.
understood that one Will be held very
shortly. and the plans prepared by the
engineers will then be considered.
Every one connected with the project
seems Yery hopeful that the question oi
policy will be settled as easily as nave
the engineering difficulties. All concerned
are very reticent. and while they decline
To make official statements. they express
the firm belief that the union depot Is by
no means "A remote contingency 1t Is au-
thoritatively stated that the two compa-
MES are in perfect accord. and up TO the
present time there has not been a single
hitch in the negotiations.
General-Manager Stevens said yester-
day that there are now no obstacles in
the way of an union depot and the Ches-
apeakc and Ohio entertains no doubt
that the Joint station will be built. Mr..
Williams expressed the same confidence
last night.

NO HOPE OF REAL CURE.
FOR OR AGAINST GOMEZ.
ImpOrtnnt Question Regards
Corps COMMANDERS.

HABANA, March 16.-General Pedro
Betancourt has arrived from Matanzas
and conferred with Generals Pedro Diaz,
Jesus Monteagudo Luis RObau. Alberto
Nodarse, and Francisco Peraza, who last
night decided TO act in conjunction with
him in condemning the action of the
Military Assembly. Considerable interest
attaches TO the attitude they will adopt
with respect To General Gomez. because
they command over 2),0O0 Cuban soldiers.
IL they adhere TO Gomez, IL is asserted
that their action will probably be the As
sembly's death-blow. The general feel
ing is that they will support him. but they
would like 10 secure the cooperation OF
General Maya Rodriguez. commanding
general i'm the provinces of Pinar del Rio.
Matanzas. Habana, and Santa Clara. but
this may prove difficult, as he has already
publicly expressed his adherence TO the
Assembly.
Should Rodriguez continue 10 defend
the Assembly's course, and should these
generals declare i'm favor Of Gomez, trOu-
bic might follow. They are commanders
under him. but their united influence is
considerable, and considered stronger
than his.
The meeting they had arranged for this
evening was postponed.
The talk Of Gomez for President Of the
Cuban republic is increasing, as a very
natural reaction against the censures
passed upon him by the Military As
