HAVANA, Aug. 15.-According to official
reports information which has been re-
ceived by the government authorities here

other means the property of planters and
others. In this connection, according TO the
government information, Chief Rabi and
Maceo have had an angry dispute and the
latter was slightly wounded by the former.
According to the reports they had to be
separated by their friends in order to avoid
more serious trouble.

the cause of the insurgents.
