formal petition for the striking Of j.
W. Johnson s name from the ticket had
been fled with O. NJ. Start, chief jus.

The complaint recites that no proper
and legal petition for nomination has
ever been fled by John W. Johnson. 1T
is asserted that the petition has 2,009
signers, but that there are thirteen du'
plications. This brings the number to
less than the 1000 names required by
law. It is further charged that several
signers are not citizens and electors
and that many signed under misunder
standing and misrepresentation as tt
the johnson whom they were signing

W. johnson are both directed to ap

Havana, Oct. 10.-This being the
thirty-eighth anniversary of the begin
ming of the ten years war for inde-
pendence, today was observed as a ma

Several leaders Of the revolution ar
rived here today from various parts
Of the island for the purpose, it is
said, Of attending meeting tonight
at the home Of General del Castillo.
They would not discuss the object of
the gathering, but it is said that the
rebel generals intend to make urgent
requests to Secretary Taft for official
positions under the provisional govern
ment.
Castillo Plans Fight7
They feel, It is asserted, that their
hopes are vain unless they voice their
ambitions before the departure Of Nj.
Taft. It is stated that each of the
generals has selected the position
which he desires and will make de-
mand for it on the ground that Mr..
Taft is under obligations to them for
their assistance in disarming the. rebels.
Among the generals known to have
been requested by telegraph to come
here are Guzman, Ferrara, Nnchado and
Guerra, and it is believed that others
are coming.
| 1t Is considered significant that the
lrebels who served under General del
ECastiuo have been instructed not to
sell their horses, and it is feared that
del. Castillo has wild idea of EN-.
forcing his demand for a position under
/ the provisional government.
