NO CUBAN CONSPIRACY AFOoT
AGAINST UNITED STATES.

HAVANA March 6-An investigation
into the report circulated in the United
States by a news agency, that the United
States secret service officials here had
been informed that plans are on foot for
a Cuban uprising, and that disorder is
only avoided now by the efforts of lead
ers to hold the revolutionary element in
check, ELECTED the following statement
from Senor Consoles Quesada, who was
the special commissioner of Cuba at
Washington, and who was said in the
dispatch referred to, to have confirmed
the statements made. 81 have not made
any statements regarding an uprising If
any persons are interested in fomenting
an uprising, they are not the Cubans,
who are in favor of Independence, but
parties desirous of seeing Cuba crushed
forever. What we have to contend
against now is American public opinion.
There is no prospect of fighting here -

age. She was on the stage in New York
for a short time, and has been living
privately in London for year. She re-
ferred a representative of the Associated
Press to her lawyers. The writ has been
out for some time she said and she did
not know whether it would be served in
America Or England. Miss knight said
she was glad to hear that it had been
served in Liverpool.
The Manchester sensation promises to
rival the Westminster scandal. Although
the Duke of Manchester asserts that the
writ has not been served upon him in the
suit for alleged breach of promise this is
quite immaterial as the writ has been
published and proceedings have COM
menced.
This entirely unexpected sequel to one
of the most interesting marriages be-
tween American heiresses and representa-
t<n shortly after the Duke of Manches-
ter so suddenly made Miss Zimmerman a
duchess. Miss knights allegations are
not yet obtainable, but it is evident
that she is in earnest and that the suit
was brought without any idea of gain
ing publicity. She is about the same
age as the Duke of Manchester, possibly
trife older. Their acquaintance began
when Miss knight was living in Stirm' S
mansion, in London, where the duke fire.

mansion say the acquaintance ripened
to a stage where they quarreled frequent
ly and the visits continued until only
about six months ago, when the duke no
longer called there, and Miss Knight took
a fiat elsewhere. She is now living in
London among friends of position and
means. Unlike Miss Zimmerman, Miss
Knight is a pronounced brunette with an
olive complexion.

The attention of the American consul
was called to this and an investigation
was Immediately opened which revealed
the following telegram written in French
which had been received by Mr.. Durant' s
betrothed, Mile. Laure Mangin, yester-
day.
"Ostend. March 3.-My friend Durant

HIS HONOR IS INVOLVED.
The signature is the name of one Of Mr..
Durants friends and the supposition is
that Mr.. Durant sent the telegram him
self
Mile Mangin, who was interviewed
last evening, said that Mr. Durant told
her of his trouble with a Russian count
at his hotel and said he was going to
fight him at Ostend He had also talked
freely at the hotel TO friends regarding
the alleged coming duel.
Mr.. Stevens, of Boston. Mass, urged
him to abandon the zdea and endeayered
to persuade him to retHrn to the United
States with his mother. Mr.. Durant re-
piled:
mo, it is a question of honor, and
I intend to see it through. The count
is coming from Nice and the encounter
Will occur at OStenT.
Throughout Saturday he WAS engaged
in making the final arrangements. He
shaved his mustache and declined to
recognize friends whom he met acci-
dentally. He left Paris Sunday for Os-
tend, whence he sent the first letter and
took the night boat for London, sending
the second letter on his arrival there.
The hotel people assert that some one
telephoned Monday and asked when Mr..
Durant's body arrived
Up to last evening all the information
tended to show he had carried out his
alleged intention and had been killed.
doubts arose wheir the correspondent Of
the Associated Press, who started an in
veStigation, received q telegram from
Ostend that there had been no duel at
Ostend, that nothing had been heard Of
it by the police or hospital authorities,
and that nothing was known OF Ddrant,
or of any other American.
Investigation in EaFis then brought to
light the receipt OF the two letters which
revealed the fact that Mr.. Durant was
responsible for the whole dramatic story.
He had been without occupation and
has lived eXtraYagantly. He had an
apartment at -95 Boulevard ST. Michael.
