Havana, July 30.-In spite Of the IS
Sertion which has been made that the
killing Of three men and the capture
OF a fourth man, their leader, who had
attempted to cause an uprising in the
vicinity of Bayamo, province of San
tiago, effectually ended today the
semblance of an uprising in Cuba.
The rumors Of uprisings il eastern
Cuba were fully confirmed today in
the governments reports, received
from the governor and other officials,
OF Santiago province. These are to
the effect that since the night Of Sun
day last sixty armed and mounted
men have appeared outside villages In
the Cauto river district, proclaiming
a revolution and demanding the pay
ment of the former leaders of the rev.
dictionary army. No acts of violence
have been reported but the inhabitants
of he Cauto region are excited. The
leader of the revolutionary party is
named PupO. He is a brother of one
on Tuesday.
NSI4NA oi uCA, NOIILlIldIlS-cl II
chief of the rural guard, has ordered
the mobilization of all the rural guards
in eastern Cuba and the governor Of
Santiago Province has been instructed
to enlist as many volunteers as may
be deemed necessary, to cooperate
with the mounted troops.
Secretary of the Interior zero says
there is no doubt that the authorities
will be able to cope successfully with
the situation.
REPORT NOT CONFIRMED.
Up to 10 o'clock tonight the reported
uprising in the province of Santiago has
not been confirmed either by govern
ment on others.
n zero, secretary of Interior,
and other government officials now
are inclined to believe that the Santi-
6 authorities were misled by persist
ent rumOrS.
General Lora telegraphed at 1870
O'Clock tonight from Bayamo that it
had been definitely determined that
the reports Of an uprising originated
with the bandits who were shot on
Monday and who had circulated stories
before that date that their ban num-
bered seventy. The government is
satisfied that the incident is closed.

Johnny Was Discouraged.

An aftermath feature Of every con.
gressional campaign is the crop OF
good old stories-ancient and honor
able, that have done yocman service
in many a political campaign which,
come back to the Capital cloakrooms
in new garb, says the Philadelphia
Press.
Here is one, brought back by Mr.,
Lands. of Indiana:
a school teacher out Ill my dis
trict was giving the class disserta-
tion on the office of president and the
Selfmade men who had filed it.
Now all who would like to be
president when they grow up, will
raise their hands" said the teacher.
Every boy responded save one.
Why, Johnny, don't you wish to
be PRESIDENT
= Shucks; 'tain't no use for me to
wish. said Jhonny. dlsgruntedly.
Why: Any poor boy might be-
come president,
Not me-, said Johnny, Tam a
Democrat. "

group arose and walked sadly away.

the girl was found 1t was not in the
main channel of the river, but in a
sidepocket Of water. The counsel for
the State in the case contend that
Wilcox struck Nellie Cropsey on the
head with some blut instrument, car
ried her TO the place where her body
was found and dropped her into the
water in an unconscious condition.
The defence held that the State did
not prove that the girl was killed at
all.
James Wilcox is d small, well-built
man, about 30. years of age. He is
not prepossessing looking man. His
records has been thatof a model young
man, but no one had charged him
with any criminal act up to the time
of the death of Miss Cropsey. The
people who know him and have
known him since his childhood believe
that he is guilty. Four out Of every
five per ons believe him to be guilty.
His old school mates, his associates in
the city fire department and his boon
companions frankly admit that he is
capable Of committing such crime
as he is accused of. They say that he
was always cruel and selfish. But
none of these things were proven on
the witness stand. He did not testify
in his own behalf.
