embezzlement Of sl,O00000 belonging to
j. M. Ceballos q Company, caused that

volt in Cuba, according to Havana ad-
vices to the New York Times. Part
of the money, it Is stated, was spent
in the purchase Of arms.
Silveira's activity in the revolution |,
declared to have been due to quarrel
with President Palma. They had been
together In some large cattle deals, Sill.

the Tacon Theater DEAL which involved

deal was pending Palma found that he
had been badly beaten in a cattle deal
and thereon frustrated the theatre
transaction. Silveira at that moment
became Palma's enemy and began plot.
ting revolution. Then he employed
Jose Miguel Gomez as manager of his
sugar estate. The government openly
prosecuted Gomez, sending troops and
artillery to coerce people near the es-
tate to refuse to deal with Gomez or
Silveira, The result was the dismissal
of Gomez, who went to New York.
Then Silveira began other negotiations,
and when the insurgent leaders took
the field, he supplied them with funds.
The government learned Of Silveira's
completely and had prepared to arrest
him when he purchased freedom by the
ostensible gift Of 500 horses and the
betrayal Of Quentin Banderos. Inter
vention by the United States brought
about a situation where lSilveira's
treachery to both sides was bound to
appear, with consequent danger to hls
life. He thereupon apparently laid
hands on what cash was available and
fed.
This is the story from Havana. Re-
ports have been current in New York
from the first that it would be found
that Silveira was concerned in the Gu
ban revolution, and Juan M. Ceballos of
the bankrupt firm, declared that in his
opinion the reports were wrong. If they
were true, Mr.. Ceballos said he knew
nothing about NSilveira's work for the
revolutionists.
John s. Fisk, member Of the Ce-
ballos banking firm, declared again last
night that in his opinion Silveira had
had nothing to do with the revolt. He
declared positively also that Mr., cebal-
los had certainly had no share in any
business Of that sort,
