are some large areas in the Sioux val

CUBANS TO TRUST AMERICANS.
zen. Gomez Advises the Islanders
to lie Patient.

Havana, Aug. 1i.-In al open letter
published by La Lucha, General Max
imo Gomez says he has remained in
Cuba t. fulfill a great duty. Now
hat exaggerated and mistaken
notions are current regarding the
state Of Cuba, he desires TO explain the
true situation.
at is absolutely false" he says,
that great differences exist between
the Cubans and Spaniards, or between
the Cubans and Americans, or among
the Cubans themselves. On the con-
trary, all is going well. An old insti-
tuition, the Cuban army, is being dis
solved. The people only think of alb
solute independence. a national
party, which opens its arms TO receive
all without asking questions as to
where they were during the war, is
being formed. More could not have
been done in so short a time.
The impatient population does not
realize that it is not the work Of a day
to organize society. Turbulence of
highly strung minds must have time
to abate in a people thirsting for indie
pendence and for liberty restrained by
rational precepts. There has been in
tervention by a foreign nation for
the sake of peace, and now the mo-
ment is propitious. All who were pre-
yiously disunited should unite for the
same end, which is TO form a coun-
ell representing the soul of Cuba.
"In the meantime the intervening
power will fulfill the obligations it has
incurred. and the Cuban people, heroic
and sensible, will take the situation
calmly, working and waiting for the
independence and liberty which the
future will surely bring.
AS for the suggestion that the in
tervcning power coniemplates rob-
bing the Cubans of their own, | do
not believe it. Such Il rumor is
calumny against an honorable people.
The Cuban. left poor by the war,
should dream only of work. Let us
allow bygones 10 be bygones. Let us
see a brother in every man in Cuba
With regard to himself General
Gomez. whose letter is addressed to
his son, Domingo, says the latter must
not trouble himself regarding his
fathers future and reputation. He de-
clares that he considers himself sufi-
GENTLY defended by his own record,
by a career which he has always adj
iusted to the rational order Of events
lie describes himself as without am
billions Of any kind that could disturb
my conscience and happy in the lot of
n people who shall one day be them
selves happy.
Cuba, which adopted and fought
for the highest principles" he contin-
ues, lis now in peace. She is behaving
like a cultured country, in order that
her people may constitute themselves
a nation without need of an external
mentor. If such conduct is contin-
ued, if such an example of self-respect
| IS maintained, all American militarism
must disappear, giving place to a true
democracy"
The noble people of Havana" he
SAYS, have once more earned his graft,
tude by a signal demonstration OF
rood will toward his wife and family,
but he is soon going away from among
them. as he longs to be in his own
country again.
