Queer actions of Gomez delay Cuban troop pay
Havana May 13 General Gomez acts peculiarly over the distribution of the 3,000,000 advanced by the United States Government for Cuban troops. Commissioners for the Fourth Fifth and Sixth Army corps either refuse to act or fail to appear. Betancourt Nodarse and Rojas cycle through resignations and substitutions as General Gomez shows apparent indifference. General Carrillo arrived, but did not visit American HQ. Brooke seeks attendance. Gomez offers no guidance.
