General Gomez Rivalry in Cuban Politics and U S Intervention
Commissioners went to Washington to discuss dissolving the revolutionary army. General Gomez became governor of Santa Marta province and later, as a republican, was elected governor. He was nominated for the national Liberal convention presidency in May 1905 but resigned four months later due to campaign limits and Platt Amendment pressure. An uprising led to Palma’s ouster and U S intervention. In August 1906 Gomez was jailed on conspiracy charges, released after a month, and later unanimously nominated for the presidency by the Micuelleta convention held in Havana in March.
