Gomez Comes TO Terms.

Gomez yields the rather arrogant po-
sitioa he had assumed and row agrees
to cooperate with the United States
military commander in the disband-
ment OF the Cuban troops and TO return
them to work, the result being the be-
ginning Of the establishment Of perma-
nent peace ard the carrying out OF the
programme of the United States Of re-
hpbilitating the island and giving prac-
tica! freedom TO the people.
The diplomacy OF &lr. Robert P. Por-
ter, the Presidents special commissions
er. brought about the result. He hand
led the matter skillfully and brought
Gomez 10 the proper way Of thinking.
The extravagant demands which the
old general made vanished and in their
stead came a reasonable attitude which
means the first, greatest and most i'm
portant step in the direction OF the res
toratlon of peace, prosperity and the
gradual giving away by the military
government for civil government, as
the people prove themselves w2:.thy OF
self-government. Il was a fortunate
move the President made In dealing d.
rectly with the Cuban leader. who was
disposed for awhile to be troublesome.
