GOMEZ'S POLICY TO CUBANS
His Desire for Independence and
Absolute Separation from United
States His Only Purpose.

HAVANA, April 6.-The Cuban military
assembly being dead General Maxine Gomez
viii take up his program OF solidifying the
Cuban people into a party that shall, with
out ceasng, urge the United States to with
draw from the island. His purpose is to
make the people seem to have but one
emotion, one desire-the thought OF inde-
pendence and absolute separation from the
United States.
General Gomez considers the dissolution
of the assembly as his personal achievement,
aided by the military administration here
and countenanced at Washington. He be-
lieves that he emerges from the controversy
with the assembly stronger than ever with
the better classes. His theory Is that the
Cubans who thought him merely an adroit
guerrilla before are now willing to regard
him as good leader, and few days more
will probably see him in name general-in-
chief of the army.
Yesterday General Pedro Diaz invited
several generals and brigade commanders
who are friendly to Gomez to a conference
as to the latters future course. AS many
who were invited were some distance away
from Havana, and could not arrive in time
for the meeting, there were only few pres
ent. But the possibility of reinstating
| Gomez as commander chief was formally
ulsCusseu, WIN iHe result tnat little or no
opposition to the proposal developed.
In order to get more general expression
of opinion it was decided to defer the formal
meeting until tomorrow morning
No other candidate Ia possible and if any
such action is attempted it will undoubtedly
be carried through General Gomez, IL rein
stated would be of great service to the
| United States in the disbursement of the
100000 600, but his political program means
the keeping up OF agitation in the minds or
the people and the weakening OF American
authority by producing the impression that
everything done by the Americans is tenn
porary and sooner or later may be over
| turned
Observers consider any such agitation as
extremely harmful TO the Industrial revival
and the restoration of Cuban credit Some
who are high in authority and who have ex-
ceptional opportunities of knowing the char
acter and ideas of Gomez think the United
States government may have trouble with
him yet. His attitude has always been con-
sistent regarding independence for Cuba and
| he Is still working for the same end.

MANILA April 6.--6:45 p. m.-Colonel
Smith the governor of the island OF Negros,
reports that number of bandits headed by
a man named Papaisso attempted a re-
bellion on March 81 and killed several Off
cials of Juinamaylan. He also captured
other officials and issued a proclamation
calling upon the natives to rise and ex-'
terminate the Americans and Spaniards.
Major Sims and two companies of the
California regiment were dispatched by
water to the scene OF the disturbance and
Colonel Dubosc and two other companies of
troops were sent overland. On April this
force marched twelve miles and captured
Labzid, the headquarters Of the bandits,
and destroyed the town. The troops also
captured thirty Ave prisoners and scattered
Papaissio's forces, thus effectually quelling
the rebellion at the outset.
There has been a weeks respite In the
hostilities, chiefly in order to allow the Fill
pinos to digest the proclamation of the
United States commission The rebels re-
main remarkably quiet. The sharpshooters
OF General Lawton's line have borrowed the
Filipino tactics and are harassing the rebels
at night picking off some of them nightly.

that they could effectively fire their Mausers
