REBELS ROUTED.
THE REVOLUTION ENDED BEFORE
IT HAD FAIRLY BEGUN.
It Had no Standing With the
People, Who Were Solldly OPP
posed to the Revolution
ary Attempt.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA special
dispatch to a morning paper from
Havana gives the following ac-
count OF the revolution in Cuba.
News has reached here of the at
tempt of the insurgents to over
throw the government. The rebels
at Guanamo, under the leadership
of Henry Brooks, who is the
wealthiest resident OF Santiago de
Cuba, had an encounter with the
government troops near Santa
Cecilia. Three prisoners were cap
tured and the rest Of the insur-
gents force fled to the woods.
In the engagement at Garbara,
near MatanZas, two OF the rebels
were killed and many wounded.
They also lost ii rifles and a large
amount of ammunition. They are
now surrounded in the woods near
the Ignatia plantation. 1t is ex.
pected they will be captured. Man.
uel Garcia, the noted revolutionist
leader, was in the vicinity Of Aga
CdUt, Will SlAItoh ohS
was said to be recruiting men by
force. A report has been circulated
that Garcia was killed, but no de.
details are known. Arms of the
revolutionists were found on a
plantation near Mt. AnZas and
seized. In addition, four trunks
containing arms and cavalry equip.
ments were found among the bag
gage of passengers on the steamer
City of Washington last Monday
and confiscated.
Many persons implicated in the
revolutionary movement have been
arrested. Others, who, it is said,
came from New York, arrived here
yesterday and were presented to
the governor. Gunboars keep a
close watch along the coast. The
general impression here is that the
revolution has been subdued. Pub
lie opinion is almost unanimously
opposed to the uprising.

DIsGRACEFUL AFE AIR.
A Blasphemous, Lu'tful Orgy Held
By Georgia Blacks.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. PA sensa-
ton has been created here by a
Negro mass meeting, held at the
Big Bethel, the largest colored
church in the city, which was adj
vertised as a memorial meeting in
honor of Fred Douglass, but which
turned into an Indignation meeting
against the whites.
AS speaker followed speaker the
audience became more and more
unbridlrd, until the affair broke
out in spots with "Jim Crow Cars,
"SOcial Equality" and calls for re
venge as texts for the fiery out
bursts.
Proctor, of the colOred COngrega,
tiOnal church, was received with
applause when he announced that
he agreed with Douglass when he
told the Southern people to beware
or they would find "tire brands I'M
der their houses and poison in their
coffee"
r. VI. Cheeks, pastor OF Big Beth
ell church, was cheered when he
told how the North Carolina Leg
islature put Douglass first, Wash
ington second and Lee third.
Carter, pastor of the Friendship
Baptist church, declared that he
would marry a white woman if
he could, and said the Negro
only envied Fred Douglas because
he succeeded where others had
failed. He made the hit of the
evening.
Morris, grand son-in-law of Fred
Douglass, devoted most of his
eulogy on DOuglsss to the burning
question Of "Jim Crow cars" and
advised the negroes to carry their
cases to the Supreme court, and
finally brought down the house by
declaring that Fred Douglass
ranked next to Jesus Christ.
