A DEMAND MADE BY GOMEZ.
THE CUBAN GENERAL WILL NOT
DIsBAND HIS ARMY
Untii He Hns Been Paid sixty MILL
Ions OF Dollars by the United
states Government.

New York, January So.-A Tribune spec
ial from Washington says:
Maxine Gomez, the Cuban commanding
general, has demanded nearly sso,ooo,oot
from the United States and refuses to dis
land his army until the money is paid;
He has repudiated the arrangement made
by Calixto Garcia. who came to Washing
ton with authority from Gomez to provide
for the return Of the Cubans to their
peaceful pursuits and whose work has
barely accomplished before his sudden
death OF December IS.
1t was then agreed that the United States,
in order to secure the prompt resumption
of labor on the plantations Of the Islands.
should distribute about 100000 among
the 10000 men said to be still under arms,
in the ratio of 500 man, the officers In
proportion to their rank to receive great
err amount. For over month the pay
corps of the army has been making ready
to carry out this arrangement, the National
defense fund being available for the pur-
pose.
In the meantime General Brooke and his
chief subordlhates have been cndeavoring
to give employment, mostly OF perma-
nent character, to large numbers of Gu
bans in order to reduce the number re-.
quiring bounty and at the same time to
give the inhabitants opportunity to begin
governing themselves.
Gomez has come out against this scheme,
which was operating satisfactorily to most
of the Cubans, and has struck for greater
stakes. 1t is officially known here that
he is erdeavoring to dissuade Cubans from
accepting office under the American occu-
patton and is urging all the natives of
every grade to stay with him in the field
eede to his terms of DISARMAMENT.
Gomez alleges that his army consists OF
40, 600 men and he insists that most OF
them shall be pai1 for three years SER
vices at the rates which prevail In the
United States He fixes the date Of the
Cuban declaration of independence CFeb-
ruary "a, 1880 as the beginning of the
period for which himself ana his FORCES
are to be remunerated and for himself.
with the rank OF lieutenant general, he
win be satisfied with $4,000 annually, the
American rate for that grade.
Gomez also has about twenty major gem
erals, for each Of whom he wants $500
annually, and his army Is equipped with
nearly 200 brigadier generals each rated
according to the United States army pay
table, at $500 annually. This aggregates
the nice little sunSof s3,S73,oo for generals
alone"
Tho number of colonies and majors run
into the thousands. Privates do not amount
TO much for they are comparatively few.
but each of them will require S64S and
the army paymasters who figured out the
total have reported that over sol 000,0O0
will be required to crafty all the demands
Gomez has made. which is an average of
Sli25 man.
