Cause Reign Of Terror In
Some Of the Towns.
RAIDS MADE NIGHTLY
And the People Have No Confidence
In Cuban Soldiers Who Were Ar
pointed as POlice--PrOteSt Against
the Lynching of Lobregat.

New York, June IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: Briga ndism
is on the increase in the country, and a
reign Of terror prevails in towns where
no United States soldiers are quartered.
The so-called bandits are mostly negroes
who came from the east with the Cuban
army of invasion They have taken full
possession Of towns outside of the rail-
roads and are living there during the day
and robbing at night. Marel is a town
of 1000 inha bitants. At the close of the
war 20 negroes took a school building
as their quarters. Eight of them raided
a grocery next door Friday night. They
fired at the proprietor and took his safe,
containing $5,ooo into the street and tried
for two hours to shoot it open with rifles
! Finally they carried it away on a truck.
Other soldiers left the town on Satur-
day and probably joined the band in the
mountains. -Four cattle were stolen on
the outskirts last night.
| Citizens have appointed the resident
Cuban soldiers as police, but they have
little faith in the soldiers ability to pre-
serve order. Little work is done on
plantations. Those VINO started work
have had their cattle stolen. Since the
robbery on Friday the Spaniards have
secreted their valuables and barricaded
\ their doors day and night. Mayor Quin-
tanas came to Havana and asked the
governor general for protection.
The Spanish consul has cabed the
Spanish minister at Washington advis-
/ ing taking action against the United
States. holding the Americans RESPONSE
BILE for the death Of Jose Lobregat at
San Antonio on Sunday. Lobregat was
killed by a mob of Cubans, infuriated
over the fact that he was formerly a
Spanish guerrilla. His funeral occurred
this afternoon. Feeling in the town is
very bitter against former Spanish SOL
diers. A Cuban soldier said this after
noon that when the republic was formed
it was the intention to kill all the guer-
rillas. General Brooke sent to San An
tonic a company of the First infantry
and a company of the Seventh cavalry
this morning. General Rivera says there
| is no fear of further trouble, but the
| Spaniards want larger force and also
garrisons in all towns.
