TWO FEVER CASES IN HAVANA
Gomez Accused of Plotting to Overthrow
the Government Of San Domingo

Gomez Accused of Plotting to Overthrow
the Government Of San Domingo
Havana, July 6.-Two cases of yellow
fever have been reported today. One
of the patients is an old Spanish woman
who has been i'm Cuba for two years,
and with her the disease is in mild
form. The other case is that of an
American, whose symptoms are still
doubtful. though it lis believed by Sur
geon Major Davis and other officers to
be yellow fever. Both cases were dis
covered in bad part of the city which
is but little freqnented by Americans
Surgeon Major Davis does not believe
there is much danger that the disease
will spread
III Reconcentrado publishes a sensa-
tional story accusing General Gomez of
plotting to overthrow the government Of
San Domingo. 1t says:
"'Haying abandoned the hope of be-
coming the head of the Cuban 'Repub-
he, and unwilling to emulate the example
of other patriots who. in similar cond-
tions, have thrust aside personal inter
ests and retired into private life. Gomez
is comforting with discontinued Domi-
means. among whom are General Bau-
tistica, who is now in Havana, with Il
view of organizing an expedition COM
posed Of former American and Cuban
soldiers, to attack San Domingo kill
President Heureaux and proclaim Gomez
dictator. We are informed that Gomez
though an old man, is of infinitely more
value than all the Dominican generals
put together"
1T is scarcely necessary to say that
this story is generally discredited.
