BELIEVE CUBA SECURE.
Legislators Here Haze Little Fear
of Outbreaks.

There are at present staying In this city FIVE
members Of the Cuban Congress. one of whom
is a Senator. who express the unanimous opinion
that the outbreak in the island win be OF short
duration. and that the Havana government will
suppress it without requiring any aid from the
United States.
One of the Cuban legislators who is spending
his vacation here is Mariana Corona. Represen-
tative from Santiago Province
Sehor Corona is also director Of "El Cubano
Libre." Of Santiago, a newspaper which he es-
tablished and printed daily the battlefield
while adjutant the stan OF General An
tonic Maceo. in the revolution against Spain.
THE trouble in Cuba" said sehor Corona
yesterday. will be over within two weeks. This
is not the first movement Of it's kind with which
President Palma has had TO deal since coming
into Office. II is the fourth time that he has
been compelled to quiet the malcontents, and
this movement will also be quickly suppress sed.
The great majority Of the Cuban people stand
by the government and do not want a revolution.
Those who have organized this latest move
ment are persons of no prestige or influence. ex-
cept what little they have among their own
immediate groups of friends. The key TO the
whole situation is ungratihed political ambition.
There is no great patriotic principle involved in
the uprising nothing but the desire to occupy
office The desire for annexation 70 the United
States could have nothing TO do with II, because
there is no strong annexation sentiment In the
island. No patriot or any man Of consequence
in Cuba favors such a step.
THE government will have at it's disposal all
the forces and all the elements necessary TO
crush the uprising Already the rural guard has
been increased TO four thousand men, and Con-
gress will allow President Palma a free hand in
the expenditure of money; any amount that is
necessary TO restore peace. Cuba is fortunate
in that the military chiefs OF Importance who
fought for their country's cause against tho
Spaniards are with the government and have
offered their services to President Palma
Among these are General Rabi. General I.ora.
General Salcedo and General CabrecO Ali these
men have great prestige and are good fighters.
General Jesus Rabi could. within very few
days. muster an army of 5000 or 1000 men:
but they will not be needed
Where did the rebels obtain arms and am
muntion? Why / don't believe they are well
armed. Many Of the soldiers who fought In the
army ofliberation retained their rifles after the
war and had also cartridges Most Of the rifles
are Remingtons. Look at the men leading the
