CUBA NEVER MORE TRANQUIL.
Persistent Reports OF Discontenf'
Absolutely Untrue, ana onicu-
lated to DO Harm.


mors cabled from the United States
regarding possible uprisings IN 0uoa
in the early future, are causing the
press of the island to ask VINO is re-
sponsible for these wonderful stories'
The newspapers, without exception
declare that the people of Cuba never
felt less like rising than they do AT
present.
CounseIing Moderation
Even the agitators against contln-
uance of American occupation nave
been counseling moderation OF late'
and the tenor of their recent speeches
has been greatly modified. Indeed tue
wish is everywhere expressed that the
forthcoming elections may pass on
without friction of any kind, as 1t IS
felt that Just now the eyes OF .hc
world are turned toward Cuba in her
efforts TO attain self-government, ana
that any disturbances or even opJec,
tions on the part OF the minority ai'er
the elections would be injurious 10 tpe
future of Cuba.
Comments of the Press
The Lucha says
even if the people desired an up
rising they have not enough arms and
ammunition even to begin one.
The Cubano says:
"Presumaply these reports are the
tricks of certain American politician
in order to get more United States
troops into Cuba This individual IS
irving to make it appear that the STU
alton is unsafe; whereas, the TACT is'
that just now the Cubans are the most
peaceably disposed people in the
world"
The Patra says:
"The recent reports from Washing
ton to the effect that an uprising is
imminent in Cuba we can only regard
with wonder and ridicule. Cubans are
not like the athletic people OF Ken
tucky, who shoot at the smallest provo
cation. Nor is Cuba yet convinced that
the iont resolution of congress is
dead letter.
To Consider ways and Mems.
The meeting recently summoned by
Civil Governor Nunez to consider ways
and means Of making the receipts Oh
the municipalities cover their expenses
took place Tuesday, anil the mayors or
the Province of Havana, including
Senior la Costa, being present. Senior
Nunez told the meeting that as the
mayors aspired TO direct self-goyern-
ing municipalities they should make
these municipalities self'supporting,
lie pointed out that If the state had
to pay deficits it would be impossible
for the municipalities to enjoy local
independence.
Best Why to Raise Funds.
The mayors will hold another meet
ing at an early date, when they viii
submit statements of the values OF
properties in their respective jurisdic-
tions. At Tuesdays meeting 1t was
agreed that the bes. way 10 raise funds
would be TO tax the land in accordance
with its value and in accordance with
the demand for it, as II Is now done.
Election Programme Issued,
The presidents Of the committees OF
the national party have issued a pro-
gramme for the coming elections, The
which is n long one, says in
part:
"The national party considers the

Of elections the Americans will no
longer have any excuse for delaying
