GOMEZ INFORMED
OF His SELECTION
As Representative of the Cuban
Army
CONFERS WITH GEN. BROOKE
Proposed That After the Work of Dis
banding Was Completed to Con-
tinue the Counellof Generals
Under Bartolome Haso.

Havana, April 1S.-Twelve generals and
many other officers of the First and Sec
ond army corps OF the Cuban forces met
at Bayamo yesterday and decided to name
General Maxine Gomez as the repI esenta-
tive of the Cuban army to the Americans,
with full power to treat for the army.
There were L votes in favor of Gomez and
u against him.
The Cuban generals this afternoon waited
upon General Gomez officially and informed
him that they desired him to represent tie
army in any negotiations with the United
States military authorities in CUBA. Gen.
eral Gomez accepted the trust, after which
all waited upon Governor General BROOKE
to discuss with him the details OF disarm-
ament and payment.
General Gomez, in his response, said:
since by the dissolution of the military
assembly the Cuban army has been with
out a representative in a position to serve
its interests and the general interests of
Cuba as connected with those o. the army,
l gladly accept the post you offer for the
purposes specified; but insist upon coun-
Gil of generals to advise and assist me, and
that these generals shall receive the arms
of the soldiers and hold them as trophies
and souvenirs OF the last glorious Cuban
struggle for liberty.
las soon this work is competed
desire full liberty to Withdraw to foreign
country or to any part of Cuba, there 10
spend the remainder of my days. We must
recognize that the only power today in
Cuba is the power of those WHO have in
tervsned, and therefore the present
thoughts of a Cuban independent govern
ment can be no more than Dreams
General Gomez also proposed that afser
the work of disbandns was completed the
council OF generals should be continued un-
der the presidency of General Bartolome
Maso.
In his opinion the Cuban officers as we'll
as the men of the rank and file should re-
ccive share of the $1,000 600, especially as
many of these, he says, were today in ex-
IRENE want.
On the suggestion of Gomez that they
should all visit General Brooke, commune
cate to him their reasons and talk the
matter over in his presence each one freely
expressing his opinion. the generals
paired to the Hotel Trocha where the gov
ornor-general received them cordially. The
conference lasted two hours. With regard
to the payment of Cuban officers the fact
was developed that the American authori-
ties had already decided to make them pay
ment after tho soldiers had been settled
with. The preparatory details will proba
bly, be agreed upon tomorrow.
The resolutions rendered to Gomez today
by the generals gave him power in the
premises the representative of the Gu
ban people until the final establishment of
the Cuban republic
