declarations regarding the unity and COM

His Reason for Declining.

His reason for decnning to accede to the
request is that he does not consider the
meeting to have been representative Of
the whole army. Gomez strongly reiter-
ates the feasibility of issuing government
notes for the soldiers payment, after the
amount obtained by the loan is exhausted
He deprecates, however the use of other
than peaceful means to induce congress to
so legislate, and says he does not believe
the American lenders will object to the
issuance Of such notes, as Cuba'S ability
to pay has amply been proven.
General GomeZs ideas are not shared In
government circles The officials here be-
lieve the army will eventually accept the
amount which can be borrowed.

tee of five of the leading lawyers of the
house selected by the judiciary committee
to pass upon the bill. The special COM
mittee, which has considered the bill for
two days, returned its report to the jul
dietary committee yesterday. Other mem
bers of the judiciary committee, among
them Chairman Stevenson, are agreed
with the subcommittee as to the uncon-
stitutionality of the bill Chairman
Stevenson, however, decided not to lay
his committee open to criticism as acting
unfairly in the matter, and sent the bill
an opinion as to its constftutionality.e
cursory poll of the committee indi-
Gates that a majority is of the opinion
that the bill is not constitutional and
should not be reported to the house for
passage in its present form. The friends
of the bill will not consent to amend
ments. and say if the committee reports
adversely on the measure they will have
sufficient strength to order the bill into
the house and pass it regardless of the
opinion of the lawyers.
