surgents who have been harrassing
the country and making life miserable
for the American troops at unexpected
times and places. 1t is believed that
Gen. Lawton has fully succeeded in
this, and that when he has effected a
juncture with Macarthur north of
Calumpit it will possible to estab-
lish a comparatively short line of
works across country and prevent the
return of the insurgents from the

GOMEZ's ATTITUDE.
Causes "a Lively Controversy at
Havana.

Havana, April 30.-The attitude of
Gen. Gomez toward the Intervening
power" as he calls the United States,
causes a lively controversy among pol
iticians here, and even among his
friends. La Discussion and Ell Recon
centrado treat him as an ally of the
United States and refer to him as a
traitor and the curse Of Cuban inde-
pendence.o La Lucha and La Patrin
view him as a consistent leader of the
Cuban people. From time to time
copies OF his private correspondence,
embodying illusions to public busi-
ness are supplied to the press and az
ford material for speculation and ar
gument regarding his real position ana
intentions. For instance, one of the
papers publishes extracts from a let
ter Gomez recently wrote to Roldolfo
Mendez Of Merida, Yucatan, In the
course of which he said:
My energy, my strength and all my
prestige ! am giving here in my de-
votion to the cause Of independence
for this heroic country, and / devote
myself especially to the labor In con-
cert with the provisional government
which attends and serves the coun-
try
A member Of his household has Civ
en- the following explanation of the
position of Gomez:
"Of course, Gen. Gomez continues to
favor, as he always has favored, ulti-
mate independence, but he considers "a
period of American control as a logi-
cal preparation for that independence.
Therefore, ne wishes to cooperate
with the Americans without reserva-
ton In disbanding the troops and in
quoting and reconstructing the coun-
try. He cannot tell how long this
period shall be, but he would shortly
have issued a statement declaring his
formal support OF the American pro-
visional control IL the recent severe
attacks upon his views had not been
made"
The report that Gen. Gomez Is draw
ing up a proposal for the organization
of Cuban militia is not verified by
him.
