WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE continuation
OF the present condition Of civil war in Cuba
will have a serious effect on the foreign
trade OF the island. A report received
at the Bureau Of Manufactures says that
if the present difficulties last for any great
length of time the crop will suffer
much damage. b scarcity of labor,
owing to the enlistment Of men by' 10th

possible, and many OF the rebels live on
the cattle which they have forcibly taken

REBELS FRIENDLY TO AMERICANS
Junta Here Learns That Our Property In
Cuba Is Being Respected.

Col. Charles NJ. Aguirre, head of the local
Cuban revolutionary junta, got a letter
yesterday from his brother-in-law, Gen.
Orestes Ferrara, leader OF the rebellion
in the Santa Clara province, who recently
entered a town and captured its treasury
of $4,000 and is now threatening Cien-
fuegos. Gen. Ferrara told many of the
plans OF the r~evolutionists and enclosed
copies OF p~roclamations issued by himself
and Gen. Castillo, leader Of the insurgents
in Havana province.
Gen. Ferrara in these proclamations
warns the insurgents to respect the Ameri-
can flag under all circumstances. He says
that il any Of the men under him are found
destroying property on plantations owned
by Americans or threatening harm to
American citizens they will be strung up
to the nearest tree without the formality
OF a court-martial. The sympathy of the
United States with the revolutionary move
ment is most to be desired now, he says,
and it will eventually be given if the in
aurRents continue to direct their fight only
against President Palma's government.
Col. Aguirre and his advisers decided
early Yesterday to send a memorial to
President Roosevelt asking that the United
States keep her hands of in Cuba and as
surfing him that the insurgents would take
care that American interests did not suffer
in such a way hat this country would feel
called upon to interfere. Col. Aguirre
learned later in the day that as the junta
had no standing in the eyes OF the Govern
ment the President could not recsive a
direct communication from il. The memoir
ial will accordingly. be conveyed to the
President through the newspapers to-
morrow.
"The Government persists in sending
dispatches 10 this country telling of the
damage done by the revolutionists on
American plantations for the purpose Of
inducing this Government to intervene
which are false, " said Col. Aguirre. To-day
they said the big Hormiguero n Constan-
cha sugar plantations had been burned by
the revolutionists. When l read the de-
