Would Not Enter Politics.
After Cuba had obtained her independ-
ence there is no doubt that Gomez could
have been elected president, but he refused
to accept the nomination. and would not
enter politics, and declined a pension Co
mez was of great service to the American
authorities in bringing about a settlement
of the demands of the disbanded Cuban
soidiery, who were clamoring for arrears
Of pay. In June 1902, Gomez was appoint
ed Inspector general OF the rural guard
and commander of all the Cuban militia
forces, amounting In all to about five thou
sand men
In November. 1903, the Cuban government
presented Gomez with the sum of $4,000,
in recognition of his services and in eele-
oration of his sixty-seventh birthday. The
general accepted the gift. but would not
draw any of the money until all the veter-
ans had been paid. On June II last the
Cuban house of Representatives unanimous
ly appropriated $1,000 for the benefit OF
Gen. Gomez.
Underwent an Operation.
In May last Gen. Gomez underwent. at
Santiago, Cuba, an operation as the result
of the spread of gangrene in an abscess on
his hand. For a time his life was despaired
of and his family was summoned to Santi-
to be moved to his home in Havana June 7,
accompanied by an escort of rural guards.
He arrived in the outskirts of Havana the
following day, the train was stopped as
near as possible to his house and Gomez,
who had been met at MatanZas by several
members of the government. President Pal

personal friends, was conveyed to his resi-

postponed for a considerable period. But
from that time on the general failed until
the end came.
Last Public Appearance.
Gen. Gomezs last public appearance was
at Havana. March % last on the occasion
of the visit of the American squadron to
that port. He was the first SPEAKER at
the luncheon given at the National Theater
to the American officers and he eulogized
the United States sacrifices In behalf of
Cuba adding that the Cubans would not
forget their obligations to the great repub-
lie whose Sons had made possible all that
Cuba had accomplished.
One of the three sons of Gomez, known
to his friends as Panchito Gomez. WAS
killed in December 1898, when Gen. All
tonic Maceo met his death in an ambuscade
near Havana.
Gen. Gomez was about five feet five inches
in height. of spare build. and although he
carried himself erect he was not of an
impressive appearance. though his deeply
bronZed face and snow white hair and
mustache gave him thoroughly military
look. He a very strict disciplinarian.
His word was law and he enforced 1t with
an iron hand.
Gen. Gomez wrote various pamphlets on
the Cuban revolutions published in jana
lea. New York and Cuba. Among his
works are Mi Asistente, "Carta
Tomas Estrada Palma "Panchito Gomez
and Mi Escolta.'
There is some uncertainty as to the year
and month of his BIRTH some reference

others at August -, 1926.
