Farewell Manifesto of General Gomez Dominates Cuba Talk
Havana June 7 The farewell manifesto of General Gomez is the main topic among Americans and Cubans of all politics. Americans see it as a moving address showing his intent to retire, while opponents doubt retirement beyond a few weeks and seek public sympathy. Gomez may leave Havana before July 1 and later return to remove his son Francisco Gomez from the island. He counsels patience during American occupation until a stable Cuban government is formed.
