THE REVOLUTION IN CUBA
IT Is ASSUMING SUCH PROPORTIONS
AS TO ALARM OFFICIALS.
Rsvolutionists Propose to Take Advantage
Of spain's Embai irassments in the Old
World and Cut Loose From Her.
Assistance from United states.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE leaders
of the Cuban revolutionary party in
this city say they have private ad-
vices from that country that the re.
beliion against the government is al
ready we'll under way. While many
think the movement is premature and
for that reason will end disastrously,
the more enthusiastic Cubans predict
success. 1t is pointed out that Spain
already has all she can take care OF
with the Morocco affair and there
fore will not be able to give aid to the
island. This, it is thought, will not
only make the dissatisfied Cubans
more confident of success and conse-
quently more determined but create a
lack of confidence among the govern
ment forces.
Mr.. Trujillo, editor of Ell PaFvenir
and New York correspondent of La
Lucha, a Havana paper, this morning
S"oi0u phO OulUOI vi uho latpel pdpOl I,
asking information concerning the
difficulties. The message was sent
early this morning and was not an
swered until late. Ordinary cable.
grams are answered Immediately.
This is taken to indicate that trouble
is already 30 serious that steps are
taken to prevent correct news from
reaching tine outside world.
rhe leader of the revolutionary
party in America, and its mistrusted
adviser in Cuba, is Jose Martie, editor
of La Patrie. 1t Is reported today
that Martie dictated the following:
"There is undoubtedly in Gu
ba revolutionary movement
worthy Of consideration. The
government has kept close
watch over all communications from
the island and by this has prevented
revealing the true gravity vi affairs"
Tie news already published from
Key West, although quite true as re.
CARDS the unanimous feeling of the
Cubans, and thereis much enthusiasm
at the present moment, appears eX-
aggerated and somewhat confused.
There also seems to be an unwar-
ranted misuse of public names In
rumors which have reached the
press. Emigrated Cubans are anx-
ious only to help their country to the
establishment of a working and last
ing repu bile and know what to do in
the present moment either in case OF
prosperity or otherwise, and will do
their duty in such way as to please
all the true men of America.
1t appears that the movement is
gro wing in port called Las Villas,
and that two provinces have hereto.
tofore taken part in it.
The province of Las Villas, to which
Martie refers, comprises IL towns
in the interior. General CarrillO,
leader of the rebellion, is SAID to have
succeeded in creating general upris-
ing in this territory.
The last advices received in New
York by the Cuban leaders we're to
the effect that GARLIC had 500 men at
his command. How many more have
Joined can only be surmised. 1t is not
believed the difficulty has yet ex
tended beyond the central portions o
the island. AT the Spanish consul
generals Office in this city 1t was
stated that no word has yet been re-.
ceived of any trouble in Cuba. An
attache said he thought the diff
Guilty, il any, had been exaggerated
Tor the purpose of getting aid from
their sympathizers in America.
