LIBERTY DEAD
SAYS GOMEZ
Cuban Liberal Candidate for Presi
dent Scores Palma Regime*
IS WORSE THAN WEYLER
Says Political Coercion and Oppression
is Rampant in Islands--President
Palma Denies Allegations.
“Liberty is dead in Cuba, and tbe
condition oi affairs there is worse
than it ever was under Spanish rule,
even in the most ferocious periods
of the Weyler government. Financial
ruin and dishonor face the people, if
things continue as they are aud the
nation will be converted into one her¬
editary rule.”
That declaration was made in New
York Tuesday night hy General Jose
Miguel Gomez, governor oi the prov¬
ince of Santa Clara and candidate of
the liberal party for the presidency
of Cuba, at the New Amsterdam ho
tel ? where he is stopping.
“I am here to rest for some days,”
he continued, “and to breathe the
air of liberty that is lacking in my
own country, aud for which I have
fought so long.
“On false charges the government
assassinates the liberals, the jails are
filled with political prisoners, and we
have no hope of justice from judges
and magistrates who recognize no law
but the will of the government. Wa
are hindered in casting our votes and
Cuba is now suffering a reign of ter¬
ror never equaled under Spanish tyr¬
anny. It was such things as these
that, made us withdraw from the elec¬
tions. Public funds are used for elec¬
toral purposes. The sanitary condi¬
tion of the island is a disgrace. The
Cuban government has employed thou¬
sands of men in the sanitary depart¬
ment, but for voting, not working
purposes.
“It has beedme impossible to dare
to oppose the government without
risk of one's life and liberty. For what
is happening in Cuba the United
States government has a direct re¬
sponsibility. Palma Is enabled to do
as he is doing only by telling the
people every day that in case of rev¬
olution or
would send troops to punish them
aii<? to sustain the Palma govern¬
ment.
“I believe that if the Piatt amend¬
ment holds the United States govern¬
ment responsible for order in Cuba, it
should never be taken for supporting
the unlawful acts of the present gov
-eminent and to serve as a screen
for the commission of such acts as
have been committed against the op¬
ponents of that government. It is the
duty of the United States to send
troops to punish them and to sus¬
tain the Palma government.
“If the United States should in¬
tervene in the matter of the elections
and insist that these elections should
be carried on it would be proved that
80 per cent of the population are lib¬
eral. That proportion of the people
hate Palma and his oppression worse
than they hated Weyler, for the con¬
ditions enacted and enforced are
worse than ever existed under Span¬
ish dominion.”
Before leaving Cuba, Gomez ten¬
dered his resignation as candidate for
president in order, as he said, to give
the convention full liberty in its pro
■ceedings. Upon his arrival in New
York he was informed that the con¬
vention was held last Sunday and it
decided not to accept the resigna¬
tion.
Untrue Says Palma.
A special from Havana says: When
shown the statements made by Gen¬
eral Jose Miguel Gomez, who was a
candidate of the liberal party for the
presidency of Cuba upon his arrival
in New York, President, Palma read
them carefully and returned, them
with the laconic remark:
“You know very well that these
things are not true.”
WILL BE SIGNED IN WASHINGTON.
Peace Treaty Will Be Ratified by Jap and
Russian Representatives at Capital.
Ratifications of the treaty of Ports¬
mouth will be exchanged at Washing¬
ton between Baron Rosen, the Rus¬
sian ambassador, and Mr. Takahira,
the Japanese minister, as soon as
these important documents are re¬
ceived from St. Petersburg and To
kio.
The ratifications will contain the
French and English tents of the trea¬
ty. This was decided at a confer¬
ence Wednesday between Baron Ro¬
sen and Mr. Takahira.
