Cuban Assembly's Action Disgusts Brooke and Gomez.
Havana, April 1.--Governor General Brooke has almost made up his mind to send the $3,000,000 back to the United States if the Cuban military assembly does not give up the army rolls.
"You may as well do so and not trifle much longer," said Secretary Alger, when discussing the matter two days ago with General Brooke and General Gomez. He said that this course would serve the assembly right. Anyway the impression is spreading that the governor general may return the money to Washington, and it is stirring up fresh feeling against the assembly. A file of United States troops would probably be sent to take the rolls if the military administration knew exactly where they were, but there is a feeling that a mistake might be made and the administration placed in the light of over anxiety and possibly be laughed at.
In the course of a conversation with an old friend from San Domingo, General Gomez said: "I am ready to go home. I am tired of this jangle with the assembly. I have learned something about this people which I did not know before. They are an ungrateful people. They do not appreciate what the United States government is doing for them--a service in which I am assisting.
"These assembly commissioners have run off again to the United States to beg for money, while I, who have a wife in San Domingo, have not money enough to bring her here. But there I have a house and might be sure of enough to live on. I am old and tired and feel like going back."
