Monteveido, March 22.-Peace was
signed today between the Uruguayan gov
ernment and the rebels.
The Uruguayan government has sent
complaint to Brazilian forces in the Rio
Grande province who have Joined Uru-
guayan rebels.
The Uruguayan revolution broke out on.
March 16 in the departments of Rivera,
Flores and Maldonado, and thus lasted
one week. Previous dispatches stated that
the rebellion was brought about by the
white party, who are dissatisfied with the
new presideat-Ordonez- succeeded
President Cuestas, and with the recent
appointments of departmental projects.
The government, while taking strong
military measures to suppress the revo-
luton, also made certain proposals with
a, view to arriving at peaceful settle
ment. Four government delegates were
sent to the disaffected provinces to treat
for peace, and the president of Uruguay

Leonard Wood today placed in the hands
of the secretary of war voluntary state
ment regarding the charges filed against
him by Maj. e. j. Rathbone, ex-director
general of Cuban ports. No official notice
of Major Rathbone's charges has been
taken by the secretary as yet, but Cen
eral Wood on reading them asked and
received permission to file at the DEPART
ment statement setting forth his side
of the case before his departure for SER
vice in the Philippines.
General Wood leaves Washington on
Wednesday afternoon for San Francisco,
whence he sails on Thursday for Manila.
Pending the action Of the secretary on
his statement, General Wood refuses to
oiaia, ne upon the charges, most of which
he says have been presented before. In his
statement TO the secretary General Wood
denies that he received any but purely
personal" gifts while In Cuba. As to his
attendance on the Jai Allai, a public In
stitutlon at Havana, at which the Span
ish national game was played, General
Wood calls attention to the fact that the
bishop of Havana was present at the
dedication of the institution and conduct
ed the service on that occasion. AS gov
error general of Cuba 1t was his policy,
he said, to establish and maintain cordial
relations with the people of the island, In
cluding the Spaniards who were the in
tuentlal element.
He felt. he says, that 1t was but an ap-
preciation of Spanish institutions for him
to recognize and patronize the Spanish
national game, which corresponds closely
to the American game of racquets, and
he made it a point to attend the Jai Allai
quite often In the evenings, being ac-

There are few people who have not

the customs service, General Wood says,
admitted the gift free of duty. first. be-
cause under the law no duty was col
lected on importatlons for officials, and,
secondly, because the law provided also
for free importation of the household
goods and personal effects which were not
to remain permanently on the island
As the custom house had already been
closed that the governor general might
make complete returns of the funds In
the treasury at the hour of American
evacuation. General Bliss could issue no
bond for the admission of the gift, but
he personally examined 1t and caused Its
free entry.
General Wood said tonight to the Asso-

leave with each member of the senate
Cuban committee a copy of his statement
to Secretary Root, and that he was ready

PEACE Is SIGNED AND
THE REVOLUTION ENDS

rangement the government would agree
to the appointment under the direction
of the nationalists or white party of new
projects in six departments.
The uprising, according to the dis
patches, was not generally popular, al
though the rebels mustered 5000 men, who
had destroyed the railway, cut the tele-
graph wires and were threatening to at
tack Montevideo itself. From today's dis
patch announcing peace, 1t appears that
the rebels have accepted the conciliatory
proposals made by the government.

Of the termination of the revolution In
Uruguay was received by Mr.. Herrera,

The dispatch announcing that fact con-
tanned no particulars. The trouble In
Uruguay arose from the failure of the

which representatives from that party

The termination of the revolution leads
