Cuba has been started by disappointed
| Office seekers. which is giving the es.
| tablished government much concern
| Fighting has occurred IN Havana and
Matanzas provinces. with uprisings II
| Santa Clara and Santiago provinces
| and the revolt is spreading rapidly
! according to latest reports. Attempts
are being made 10 nip it in the bud
by arresting the leaders and largely
| increasing the force OF rural guards
Some Of the leaders are very infuen-
tial men. who were successful in form
er revolutions. which makes the gov
ernment's task a difficult one.
In case the officials are unable 70
rush the instruction, tie American
government has the right to intervene
for the maintenance Of a government
| adequate for the protection OF life
property and individual liberty
The expectation is that the revolt
viii be short lived, but such guerrilla
warfare is attractive to cane sugar
plantation laborers and unless this
movement is promptly checked, the
harvesting Of the new crop may be
delayed Meanwhile, the cultivation
of cane is neglected, which If contin-
ued, VIII cause a reduction in the yield.
