Gomez Withdraws Aid to Cuba Troops Funds
General Maximo Gomez informed Governor Brooke that he could no longer represent the Cuban army in distributing the 3 million dollars allocated for Cuban troops payments. He cited a cabal of subordinate officers opposing partitioning the money and said he wished to dissociate from the affair. Brooke expressed sympathy and would act alone if Gomez remained unavailable. The plan envisions using private rolls of willing officers and, if needed, forcible disarmament of Cuban troops within the coming weeks.

A small force may suffice if aided by gunboats as the town, a key Mindanao capital and port, is easily defensible with limited artillery. Insurgents hold rapid fire guns but likely lack ample ammunition.
