insurgents raided an American plantation
known A. the Soldad, near C~ienfuegOs, and
carried away a number OF horses. The
fact Of the raid was communicated to Com
mAnder Fullan, and hs Immediately ordered
a detachment OF marines ashore. Com
man1er Fullan reported his action to-day
10 the Department and his course has met
with approval. II IL probable that the
marihs. will hc kept ashore a. long a. here
N any neel Of their presence.
There IL a large band Of insurgents before
CtcnTuego~ and the indications are that the
government sol liers there are not in a
poeition To rcpulse them and at the same
time give that degree Of protection to
American property which is demanded.
Mr.. sleeper, the United States Charge
In Havana, in "a despatch to the state De-
partment this morning says that there is n
good deal OF confusion and uncertainty
regarding the rumored burning OF sugar
estates. As far as he had advices up to
this morning, the Huatey plantation has not
been destroyed. Neither is the reported
destruction OF the C~onstancia plantation
confirmed, and a despatch from the manager
Of the Homeguere estate, Mr.. Sleeper says.
does not mention damage to property there.
A private despatch received at the State
Department to-day. however, the
burning by the rebels OF the railway station
at Homeguere, and this is regarded as the
probable foundation for tho story that the
sugar plantation has been destroyed.
Consul Holiday at Santiago reported to
the State Department to-day that there had
been no. active insurgent operations in
Santiago province, but he understands
that there IL a force Of 500 rebels under

OF the executive committee.

the Parsons Side.
Chairman Parsons Of the Republican
county committee has turned down Frank
Hendrick, who was the first candidate for
the Republican leadership of the new
Twenty-ninth Assembly district as a Par
SONS man. Mr.. Parsons has given his
recognition to Frederick De w. Wells, who
is opposing Hendrick and who until a week
ago was supposed to be the nominee Of
the Odell-Quigg faction. Since then Mr..
Wells has announced that he was with Mr..
Parsons. Mr.. Hendrick retaliated yester-
day by sending an extremely caustic letter
10 Mr.. Parsons, part Of which read:

STATE LEAGUE FOR PARSONS
IN NEW YORK AND FOR WOOD
RUFF IN KINGS COUNTY

Declaration Adopted to That Enect-PresI.
dent JOhn A.. Stewart Says the Ques-
tIOn Is One OF Supporting President
Roosevelt or such Men ~ OdelI.
The Republican League OF Clubs Of the
State Of New York at a meeting held yester-
day at the Hotel Aston pledged itself to supE
port Herbert Parsons and Timothy L. Wood
run in the efforts they are making to retain
control OF the Republican county COM
mittees Of New York and Kings. James B.
Reynolds, the head OF a subcommittee
appointed TO draw up a statement OF the
leagues position in the prevailing fractional
fights in the two counties, read a declara-
ton, part Of which ran:
W declare against any 8 tate Of local
leadership that would make a factional
organization dominant as against the whole
Republican party; we declare against any
organization that does not put party first
and personal preferment second; we believe
that only those district leaders should be
chosen who have shown by their records
that they are Republicans first and organ
ization men afterward, and we believe that
this Republication Is best represented in
Manhattan by Herbert Parsons and in
Kings by Timothy l.. Woodruff"
President John A. Stewart before the
resolutions were put to a vote said that the
issue in the coming primary elections was
sharp and clear. It was for the league
to decide whether on the n hand
Mr.. Parsons, should be sustained or
whether the league should ally itself
with such men as B. B. Odell, Jr., and
Lemuel Z. Quigg. Mr.. Stewart in re-
ferrng to the State situation. said that
Gov. Higgins ought to have a renom-
inatfDn II political logic was adhered to,
but that any lukewarmness toward Mr..
Higgins was his own fault, because of his
failure in announcing himself as a candi-
date for denomination.
The statement presented by Mr.. Reynolds
was unanimously adopted as expressing
thu policy Of the league.

Aileen to the Cuban Government through
the Office of Tams, Lemoine Il Crane, and
the yacht is now fitting out in South Brook

purchased through the same agency little
more than a week ago, has arrived at Ha-
vana after a passage Of five days.
The Aileen is a steel vessel Of 17S gross

RUSH TO. JOIN TIE NAVY.
Large Number Of Applications Anticipating
Trouble in Cuba.

Ia - uthAD " NNNa
Tr0ubIe in Cubs
CLEVELAND, Sept. 15.-Threstened trouble
in Cuba and the rush Of American varships
to the island has done more than all Of
Uncle Sans press agents to rouse interest
in the navy and bring in applicants for
enlistment. During the three days the
United States ship Wolverine has been in
Cleveland seventy-five applications for
enlistment have been received, an I'M
~precedented number, and owing to the rush
of young men to become sea fighters the
Lake warship has pulled her anchor behind
the breakwater and tied up to the Erie
street pier so that the applicants can reach
shipboard easier.
Twenty-Five new recruits were sent East
last night. The apprentice seamen are
sent to Norfolk, Va, and the mechanics
to the New York Navy Yard.
The new navy recruiting station which
is to be established in Cleveland will be
opened on September 10.

Percival E.. Nagle and the men who say
they are going TO elect him leader Of the
new Thirtieth Assembly district paraded
through Harlem last night headed by sixty
mounted men and the Sixty-ninth Regi-

II took the marchers twenty-eight minutes
to pass a given point. n they didn't stop
anywhere either, One OF the noisiest
features was a negro fife and drum corps.
When the Nagleites left the scene the
Joseph W. Savage forces came dow from
the Tw~enty-first Assembly district in five
big sightseeing autos and three three-horse
drags. Between the two parades Harlem
had a red fire bath. which was the biggest
feature 80 far Of the local primary fight.
