HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 4.-La Lucha to-
day refers to the rumors that are aioat
regarding the disappearance of Mr.. Money.
Speaking of the report that he has gone
to visit the insurgent leaders the paper
says it does not believe be would commit
such a misdemeanor and place himself
outside the pale of the law. Such an act
would be objectionable in person whose
duty is to know and respect the laws of
the country he visits. If it is serious
offense for other Americans to visit the in
surgent camp it ls still worse for one to do
so who represents his country in its Par
lament.
Mr.. Money returned to Havana this
evening All efforts 10 learn from him
where he had been were fruitIess, he de-
clining TO say anything that would tend to
disclose his whereabouts since he disap-
peared. The general opinion is II at he
had been within the rebel lines to seek the
Information he desired, but there is no
way OF proving this belief.
Consul General Lee is authority for the
statement that Mr.. Money has no connec-
ton with the Cuban Junta in New York.
| This statement is made in view of the fact

Money is an agent of the Junta or has
some connection with that body. General

Cuba for pleasure and TO obtain informa-
ton within lawful limits OF he condition
of the country in order to enable him to
speak with authority.

tire stay and saw no rebels.
