MANY RUMORS OF PLOTS.
Congressman Guerra Said To Be
LeQder-Cartridges Seized.

Havana, Nov. Pit is persistently reported
from San Juan de Martinez. Province of Pinar
del Rio, that Congressman Pino Guerra. who Is
charged by the prosecuting judge OF San Juan
de Martinez with being the leader of the insur-
rectionary plot in that neighborhood, and who
is evading capture, now has following of more
than fifty men, and it is said that other friends
of the Congressman, former officers Of the reyo-
lutionary army, have similar folowings
General Rodriguez, commander of the Rural
Guards said there absolutely nothing con-
firmatory of these Tumors and showed the re-
plies received to telegraphic inquiries made TO
the commanding officers in Pinar del Rio, who
all denied that anything had occurred beyond
what had already been reported.
Colonel Piedra, who is wanted in Havana in
connection with the finding of arms at Cerro,
suburb of Havana. is reported to have gathered
a band of twenty insurrectionary comrades near
Batabano
I'VE learn of plenty of verbal consprators. not
only In Pinar del Rio. but elsewhere about the
island said General Freyre Andrade, Secretary
of sthe Interior, to-day, but they all appear TO
want somebody else to take up arms. In the
few cases where others inclined to take them
up they have found the government had already
taken them up
The Secretary said it was certain that Con-
gresham Guerra was trying to promote in
surrection, but all the government adviceS deny
that he has any following.
The government has seized small factory at
Guanabacoa, a suburb of Havana, in which
revolver and rife cartridges were being secretly
manufactured. Several thousand cartridges were
seized. No arrests have yet been made in this
connection.
