LATEST RUMOR FROM CUBA
Discredited, but Says That Gomez Il
Buying Rifles in the United
States.

Havana, Oct. 27.-An uncredited ru-
NOR is in circulation that General Jose
Miguel Gomez, ex-governor of Santa
Clara province, until recently candi-
date for the presidency of Cuba, and
who is now in the United States, is buy.
ing 5000 rifles in the United States for
the purpose of organizing revolution
in Cuba. General Freyre and Rade,
secretary of the interior, laughed when
questioned on the subject. He said:
IF Gomez brought the rifles to Cuba
he would not find any men to carry
them, much less fight with them. We
have heard such rumors. They seem
to be gotten up for the purpose of con-
vincing the United States government
that there is spirit of unrest in Cuba.
In any event the United States will not
permit the dispatch of arms to Cuba" "

Greeted by Wild Applause.
HAD TO GIVE UP A SPEECH
Crowd So Immense That 1t Was Sim
ply Uncomfortable.


Probably for the first time in his
public career the president was COM
PEELED to abandon a public address
before be had got well started on it.
1t was contemplated that the military
and civic parade should pass n.review
before the president at the city hall,
but the crowd which gathered at this
point was 90 tremendous that neither
the police nor the troops were able
to move it, and the president, fore
seeing a possible catastrophe in the
event Of panic, finally gave up the
attempt to speak and left the platform.
The crowd damned st. Charles street
from property line to property line
all the way from Poydras to Ninth
streets, and it spread over Lafayette
square almost from st. Charles to
Camp streets.
Probably 1000 people were gath
cred in and around the stand from
which the president was to have deliv-
cred the address When the president
decided to abandon his effort he shout
ed to the throng to go home and be
good citizens, and then disappeared
into the mayors parlors. The demon
stratiOn at the luncheon was scarcely
less eXubrant. When the president
entered the superbly decorated dining
hall the 625 banqueters rose as one
man and gave way to frantic cheers.
Every reference of Governor Blanch-
ard, Mayor Behrman and President
Sanders (of the Progressive Union) to
the guest brought forth a perfect
storm of cheering, and when the preS1-
dent himself arose he had great diff
ficulty speaking.
Every thought he uttered was the
signal for an extraordinary exhibition
of enthusiasm, and as his speech dealt
almost entirely with local subjects ana
had special reference to the fight
against yellow fever the banquet de-
veloped into an unceasing ovation
while the president was on his feet.
An immense crowd packed Gravier
and ST. Charles streets as the dinner
ended, and the appearance of the pres
ident on his way to the river provoked
thunderous applause. The cheers last
ed all the way from the hotel to the
river front.
AS the Magnolia left her landing a
presidential salute was fired, and the
indescribable din of the whistles OF
the factories and river craft mingled
with the lusty cheering of acres of
people who had collected on hewharf.
From the moment of his arrival early
in the forenoon until he said farewell
from the deck of the Magnolia at
night be was constantly in the lime
light. The crowded programme gave
him no opportunity for rest.

A Freak of Death Valley.

Saratoga springs is one Of the freaks
of Death valley and has probably
caused more profanity than anything
else in the region. The waters are as
clear as crystal, and they bubble up
from deep, sandy basin like we'll

impregnated with sulphur and other
minerals, are tepid in temperature and
act instantly like an emetic upon any
one who drinks them.

New Orleans, Oct. 27.--At the end
of nine strenuous hours Of varied en-
tertainment in New Orleans, which
brought his exceptionally pleasant trip
through the south to a close, President
Roosevelt at 6:3O D. M. boarded the
lighthouse tender Magnolia and began
the first stage Of his return journey
to the national capital. The armored
cruiser West Virginia lay at anchor
off the mouth Of the river to receive
him. For four days he will be alb
sent from United States soil, which
has never heretofore happened to ap-
pear during his incumbency, but
through the means Of wireless tele-
graphy it is promised that he will be
seldom out of communication with the
shore.
Signal Testimonial of Esteem.
The presidents New Orleans visit
was a signal testimonial Of popular
esteem and of grateful recognition of
the service which he had rendered the
city in her period of stress. New Or,
leans remembered not only that the
president had acted with characteris-
tic promptness when asked for help;
had sustained the people of the strick,
en- city with expressions Of unfailing
sympathy, but that when large share
of the public opinion Of the country
opposed his venturing into New Oh
leans while the fever still prevailed
he refused to consider the element of
personal danger and declared his pur-
pose to keep the promise he made
when he accepted the original invita-
ton to come.
Greeted by Wild Applause.
The densely crowded streets. the
elaborate decorations, the wild ap-
plause that greeted him along the
whole route Of the parade, the enthu-
siasm with which his address to the
multitude in Lafayette square was re.
ceived, and the remarkable demon
stratiOn in his honor at the luncheon
were outward manifestations of the
spirit in which the people welcomed
him.
