ba, the government party, the revoIu-

Nearly every man in Cuba who is not
a foreigner and who is not engaged
in some commercial pursuit there is a
POLITICIAN and has in lieu of an ak,
a machete to grind. Each one wants
to be heard by the American secre-
taries and each one is tnsistent that
his interests are paramount and are
alone to be considered. Those who
are not in this class have financial
interests there and have the right al
so to be given a caring. The task
before Mr.. Taft is SO complicated ana
so delicate that 1t will require the
greatest diplomacy and thought as
lawyer, Judge and friend the Cubaps

compelled to use artillery to put down

The report originates from the fact
that about 5 O'Clock Sunday evening
rife firing by volleys was heard, which
increased in violence as the moments
went by, and was soon added to by the
loud notes of field guns in action. 1t
has been rumored for several days
