OF course old man Gomez thoroughly
the Cubans. Notwith-
standing the fact that he is not II ma
tive, he has been in position % learn
all about the people. He does not seem
to think that the Cubans are quite
ready for self-government. Indeed, he
intimates that if the United States gov
ernment should withdraw its troops
just at this time, he would consider it
prudent to get out Of the country also.
That is because he knows that the
present cat and dog situation would
quickly develop into anarchy, which he
could not control, Notwithstanding the
ability with which he held
up against Spain. 1t IS highly desira-
BILE that the United States withdraw
from Cuba as soon as possible. 1t
would be very pleasant to believe that
the troops could be withdrawn with
safety now; but from the way General
Gomez talks. this is not to be thought
of. Even if withdrawal should be de-
layed until next year, it Is quite proba-
BILE that still larger force will have
to be sent back again within six months
afterward.
