story OF Revolt in Santiago Province
Apparently Exaggerated.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SCS
HAVANA, July 31.-The latest news in
regard to the alleged uprising in Santiago
province is to the effect that the district
where the band of sixty insurgents is
supposed to be located has been gone
over by special agents Of the Govern
ment, who found no trace Of the alleged
revolutionists, nor heard anything in re-
gard to the existence Of such band.
Senior zero, Secretary of the Interior,
has ordered that the company Of volunteers
which was enlisted in the Victoria de las
Tunas district for the purpose Of suppress
ing the uprising he disbanded
The Secretary says he ia satisfied that no
band Of sixty insurgents ever existed.
There may have been. he says, party of
dozen men who had been associated with
the four bandits killed or wounded by the
Rurales short time ago, and who, when
they found that affairs had gone wrong
with these men, quietly dispersed. The
intention of the men, he is sure, was not TO
start an instruction, but to organize for
the purpose of robbery. This was frus-
trated by the work of the Rural Guards.
Senior zero says the report that the
Central Railroad is carrying Rurales to the
district affected is untrue.

Tax Commissioner Samuel S'rashourger
gave out statement yesterday to the effect
that the real reason why former Senator
Sam Slater il fighting him for the Repub-
lican leadership OF the Thirty-frst Assem-
bly, district is because in 1902 Strasbourger
gave the control of the delegates to the
Congress convention to x-Assemblyman
Harvey r Andrews.
Il gave the control TO Andrews because the
district captains preferred him to Slater
says Mr. Strasbourger Slater got sore,
and he and hs friends knitted the ticket.
Most of the Tammany literature that year
was written by Slater and his friends, and
already am told they have pledged them
selves to support Assembyman Abrams.
the Tammany Assemblynan, if Slater is
not victorious at the primaries. When this
primary election is over Slater will be SO
badly beaten that he will be obliged 10 get
out of Republican politics forever"
