CUBA'S military ASSEMBLY
GENERAL GOMEZ Is REMOVED.
In Public Session He Was Impeached--
Conclave Lasted Five Hours-He Was
Called Traitor to. o.Cuba-The II Action
ln-Advised- Says He EnJoys It.

Havana, March l3.---The Cuban mill
tary assembly, in public session, has inn
peached General Maxine Gomez and re-
moved him from ms command as general
in chief of the Cuban army, the first bal
lot taken resulting in 20 votes being east
in support of the motion to impeach and
remove General Gomez, against four in op-
position. The meeting lasted from
. clock until I.
General Gomez only supporters were
General Cespedes and General Nunez. The
original motion, which was introduced by
Senior Manuel Sanguilly, provided for the
abolition OF the grade OF general in chief,
but an amendment was offered TO this by
Senor Aguerro, which read; ITO abolish
the grade OF general in chief and remove
General Gomez for failure in his military
duties and disobedience to the assembly"
Senior Aguerro declared that Gomez was
insubordinate and should be punished, and
Senor Sanguilly insinuated that the gen
eral was traitor to Cuba.
AssembIy's Action nI-Advised.
General Gomez is believed to be strong
er than the assembly in the affections OF
the Cuban army.
Many privates are anxious to leave the
army and go to work, especially when
they are able to obtain money to start in
life anew.
The position Of the assembly is notably
weak, as the military administration sup
ports Gomez, also the planters and prop
erty owning element, who are tired oil
the Cuban army, which subsists half upon
tharity and half upon contributions levied
by means of threats.
Gomez Likes IL.
General Gomez received at Molinas this
evening a telephone message announcing
20 him the assembly's decision. de an
,wered calmly. IAN right, enjoy the sit
uation."
He then came to Havana to keep din
