Havana, April 5-WhateVer might
have been the feeling of General Max
imo Gomez toward the United States
and its Cuban policy heretofore, there
is no question but that he is now thor
oughly in accord with every PROPOSE
ton which has been suggested to him
aud every step taken in the admins
Uration of affairs on the island.
If the scheme of government for
Cuba, which was contemplated by the
United States, is to be carried into sue
cessful effect, the assistance Of a certain
number of Cuban leaders must be Sc
cured. Gomez now knows the de
tails of the plan of the United States
for establishing q stable government IN
Cuba and has promised to facilitate the
carrying into effect of the same.
A consolidation Of the military and
civil postoffices in Havana will be at
fected during the early part OF this
month. The old system was conducted
in such a careless name that the most
objectionable errors were made and
great quantities of mail lost. For @
time it WAS common talk that to mail
money in letters was equivalent TO pre-
senting ttat amount to the clerks.
When the consolidation of the office is
an established fact the people OF Ha-
vana are promised a better service.
The dissolution of the Cuban Assem-
bly, has caused general rejoicing among
the Cuban soldiers who are on the
muster rolls, as tie assembly will hand
over the rolls t Governor General
Brooke Immediately and the distribu-
ton of the $3,000,0 600 in pay to the
troops will follow at once. Prepare

are indications that the two events may
coincide in respect to time. The Fill
pinos might plead for the opportunity
