Maxlrno Gomez

Cuba has lost in General Maximo Gomez her foremost popular hero. Of the many leaders in her long struggle for independence he played the largest role and showed the most lasting qual- ities. Though an alien and espousing the Cuban cause at the outset less as a patriot perhaps than as a soldier of fortune, his services to the Cuban peo- pie in the long run overshadowed those of any other figure in the revolu- tionary movement. He had survived Marti, Maceo, Garcia and most Of the other chieftans in the earlier and most desperate revolt against Spain. and had lived to see his labors realized in the creation of a stable and prosper lishment of that republic he had con tributed as much by his patriotic counsel as by his military skill, and in his declining years he had come to be regarded by the mass of the Cuban people both as their greatest soldier and as their most far-sighted and un- selfish statesman. In his career he had illustrated, according to their ideas. the military virtues and the political sanity of a Bolivar and a Washing ton.
 Certainly among soldiers and states men of the modern Spanish-American dictator type General Gomez is inti- tied to a niche apart. In the kind of guerilla warfare to which he was limited by the relative weakness of the revolutionary forces. and aga;nsc which Spain found it hardest to make headway, he won an enviable dist1nc- tion. After a resistance of ten years in the first civil war, the insurgents were still strong enough to compel Spain to grant peace on honorable terms. General Gomez had lost his fortune in the insurrection, but he asked no recognition either from Spain or from the Cubans, withdrawing from the island and living quietly in Jamai- ca and Santo Domingo until the sec ond revolution was proclaimed. He became the military head of the new movement, and again maintained a guerilla warfare for three years against the constantly augmented Spanish armies. The intervention of the United States may or may not have saved the second insurrection from breakdown. But 1t left the head of the Cuban forces in a position to claim for himself, when native gov ernment should be established. full credit for having conducted a success fuI revolt.
 A man of smaller mould would probably have proceeded-after the Spanish-American fashion-to lay the basis for a future dictatorship. But General Gomez's conduct during the period of the American occupation rose to a higher level of patriotism policy of creating an insular govern ment free from military control. His chief subordinates, who sat in what was known as the military assembly a body without legal status or war rant-tried to frustrate that policy by keeping the revolutionary army intact and under arms. But the commander in chief broke with that body and helped materially to force it's dissoIu- tion and to secure the disarmament and disbandment of the Cuban troops This accomplished, he supported at every turn the efforts of the Ameri- can provisional government to estab- fish a republic representing the people and freed entirely from the domination of military power.

try presented Its resignation to Presl-
dent Loubet at the Elysee palace this
morning and the president accepted il,

carry on their functions until a new
cabinet Is formed NJ. Loubet viii be-
gin the consideration Of the formation
OF new cabinet this afternoon lie
has summoned the president Of the
senate, NJ Fallieres and the president
OF the chamber Of deputies, Paul Dou-
mer, to the Elysce for conferences at
4 o'clock IN the case Of the former and
az o'clock In the case Of the latter.
These conferences viii determine whom
NJ. Loubet win invite to form minis
try. NJ. Rouvler continues to occupy
the first place but his chances are less
certain than at first owing to the be-
lief that a Rouvler cabinet would not
last long on account Of the internal
divisions of the parliamentary groups.
NJ, Combes. I'm his letter Of resigna-
ton, said IN part
II have tho honor to present my res
gnation as president Of the council

realization of the program of political
and social reforms which the Republ-
can majority of the chamber explicitly
and repeatedly approved But the re-
cent figures Of this majority do not per-
nit me TO hope 10 conduct this pro-
gram to a realization"
The premier then reviews his course
during the last IS months. He says he
has been tracked by an ambitious and
impatient coalition of Clericals and Ma
tionalists which INSTRUCTED the work
OF the majority and adds
y have struggled foot by foot against
their lnaneuvers. My personal senu-
ments are to struggle still, believing
that republican France Is with me. But
II is easy 10 recognize that | may be

vote OF the chamber which again
solemny approved the policy of the
ministry over which I have the honor
to preside"
The letter points out that the ma
iorlty. although reduced, is stil ma
jority and that therefore the party
policy Of the ministry should continue
10 govern the forthcoming ministry,
and closec with an expression Of faith
IN the ultimate triumph Of the policy
