Show GOMEZ'S AMBITION. The Cuban General Dreams of Founding; a Great Republic. Havana, Jan. 8. A colonel in the insurgent army says that General Gomez recently sounded the army on his old ambition of uniting Cuba and San Domingo under one government. The wily old chief thinks that the United States can offer no objection to this plan, which, if accomplished, would create a state strong enough to absorb Ilayti soon. With this done, Gomez believes the foundation would be laid for a republic which would soon take rank in the western world second only to the United States. |
