Cuban Army Claims 60000 Ready for Independence
Captain W D Smith testifies before the Senate committee that General Gomez commands about 60 000 disciplined Cuban troops in strong fighting shape and fully committed to independence. He dismisses autonomy talks as futile and notes good supply lines and health among troops. Major Smith, Gomez’s escort commander, downplays pacifico suffering and asserts aggressive Cuban tactics against Weyler. A projected August assembly will select a president, with Estrada Palma as favored candidate if he accepts.
