Secretary Root Assumes Full Re-
sponslbiity in Gomez Affair
The wisest Statesmanship Prompted
the Payment Of the
Money.
THE CONDITION OF CUBA THEN

Washington, June i7--Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment Of money TO General
Gomez by General Wood during the
American occupation Of Cuba, and II
congress asks for an explanation Of
the matter he stands prepared to furn-
ish what he regards as the most con-
vincing proofs that the payments were
dictated by the wisest statesmanship.
Al the war department high off,
oiAl stated the position Of the war de-
partment in the matter % follows:
THE conditions in Uuba two years
ago were preoarioua Not . Cuban be-
lisved that the United States govern
meut ever would withdraw from Cuba
and the half .famished veterans Of the
Cuban army were in . dangerous mood
and olamoring for their pay. General
Gomez was the head and front of their
army and had served the revolution
airy cause Is its principal leader with
out having received . cent Of pay.
General Wood thought, and Secretary
Root thought, that General Gomez
was entitled to consideration to the
extent Of home, which was supplied
him, and In which he entertained his
comrades. and to an income, which
last might be set down As a small Of
set TO the money due Gomez from the
Cuban republic. That the Cubans
themselves regarded the matter in the
same light was shown by the passage
by the present Cuban congress, among
the very first Of its acts, Of bill pro.
viding for q liberal pension for Gen
eral Gomez. II is believed that but
for this assumption Of the costs Of
Corners living expenses, the oondi-
tions In Cuba must have paralleled
those in the Philippines, and the Unit.
ed States government, after fighting
spain TO secure freedom for the Gu
bans. might have been Obliged to turn
on them the force Of her armies.
1.-THE necessity being present, in
Secretary Roots view, the only other
point was the legality and proprietv Of
the payments. He soon satisfied him.
self that there was not the slightest
doubt on that score. The military
government was obliged TO assume the
responsibility for his disbursements
and to exercise his discretion General
Brooke did this aud after him General
Wood and Secretary Root now fully
approves Of everything they did, in
Guiding the payments to Gomez"
