SummaryResumen

The *Phillipsburg Herald* reviewed the military career of General Máximo Gómez, noting his early service with Spanish forces during the Dominican annexation before becoming a leader in Cuba's ten years' war for independence. In 1887, Gómez returned to Santo Domingo to cultivate tobacco in Guayubín near Monte Cristi, where his widespread popularity quickly aroused political suspicion. Fearing that Gómez harbored presidential ambitions and planned an insurrection, President Heureaux secretly arranged for his arrest and execution.

En 1887, Gómez regresó a Santo Domingo para cultivar tabaco en Guayubín, cerca de Monte Cristi, donde su inmensa popularidad despertó pronto suspicacias políticas. Por temor a que Gómez albergara ambiciones presidenciales y tramara una insurrección, el presidente Heureaux dispuso secretamente su arresto y ejecución.

an annexationist. In the early '60's,'

when Santo Domingo was annexed to

Spain, through the intrigue of Gen.

Santana, of Ciebo, Gomez, then a

young and brave soldier, allied his des

tinies with the annexationists. 'When

the war of the restoration began he

took sides with the Spaniards instead

of the patriots. The patriots won, the

Spaniards were forced to capitulate,

and Gomez, with other Dominicans,

retired to Havana, with the title of

Mariscal de Campo.

"Gomez soon grew tired of Spanish

rule, and when the ten years' war for

Cuban independenc-? began, under the

leadership of Maeeo cud others, Gomez

was one of the leading spirits who

battled for Cuban independence. Aft

er the capitulation his political life

was one of adventure and uncertainty.

"In 1SS7 Gomez seemingly tired of

exile. Perhaps it was to delude the

Spanish that he came to Santo Domin

go and settled in the district "of Monte

Christi and began the cultivation of

tobacco in Guayabin. near the Haytian

frontier. He became at once a pop

ular idol of a large number of Domin

icans, which caused some political

jealousies.

"Gen. Heureaux, who was then the

president of the republic, became sus

picious of Gomez political aspira

tions, and his arrest was ordered. Pri

vate advices from Guayabin announced

that Gomez was aspiring to the pres

idency, and an uprising was imminent

to usurp the reins of the government.

The oppositionists began to be so ac

tive that Gen. Heureaux was serious

ly concerned, and Ihe imprisonment

and execution of Gomez were planned.
