give him a reception that will go down

great an event as his smashing of tho

| HAVANA, May l6.-The manifesto
which Gen. Maximo Gomez Is prepar-
ing to issue will not only review his
own position as to the payment Of the
Cuban army, but will probably direct
the forces to disband. 1t will probably
be issued tomorrow. Col. Carlos Ces-
pedes, who Is engaged in the supervis-
ion of copying the manifesto, declines
to give any information as to its con-
tents further than to say that Gomez
recounts his faithful labors for Cuba:
asserts that he has no ambition other
than to free Cuba, ana calls upon all
loyal Cubans to accept the money CIV
en- by the United States and to return
to work, in order to show by building
up the country that they are citizens
in the truest sense.
The manifesto will also allude. ac-
cording to Cespedes, to the difficulty
regarding the surrender of the arms,

shall be the repositories for the same

WASHINGTON, May 1G.-General
Brooke mas not reported to the War
Department any serious situation in
Cuba. and it is not believed at the de-
partment that any alarm need be felt
regarding the condition of affairs. No
advice is given General Brooke, as it
has been the policy of the President to
clothe the officers in command in the
islands with plenary power to deal
with situations as they arise. and hold
such officers responsible.
