Although he carried about >150,000 with him when he left Havana, no one believrs that any Important leader will surren der.

The presumption Is that he went in *he expectation of meeting General Gomez. Should he return without having induced the principal Insurgent chiefs to surrender, auton omy, It is believed would be consid ered a failure at Madrid, a conclusion that would seriously affect the sta bility of t .© government at Havana and at the home capital.
