END OF REVOLUTION

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


HAVANA, Oct. 13.-Facts brought to
light today indicate that the flight Of
Manuel Silveira, Havana agent of Ce-
ballos & Co.. was largely due to the
collapse of the Cuban revolution. in
which he and some of his associates
were financially interested. 1t is known
that Silveira was opposed to the Palma
administration and desired for numer-
Gus reasons to have Cuba under a
regime which WOULD have been more
friendly to his enterprise.
It is unGisputed that the recent rebel
lion was financed in an inefficient man.

the insurgents obtained the sinews of

interested in various other big Cuban
schemes.
All these companies were parts OF

favor and cooperation of the admin
istration or could call a government
into being on which he could depend it
would have been an easy matter for
him to have obtained money for his
projects. Jose Miguel Gomez. who fig
ured as the head of revolution. was
made superintendent of large planta-
ton.
Mr.. Ceballos denied emphatically that
the firm had had anything to do with
the Cuban revolution.
Silveira & Co. continue to pay all
claims. While it is said that Silveira
converted the joint assets of himself
and others, including the veteran army
claims, into cash to the extent OF pos
sibly million dollars. bankers insist
that the firms Indebtedness in Cuba
is comparatively unimportant. Stories
that Silveira financed the revolution
are believed to have arisen because OF
his close friendship to Jose Miguel
Gomez, whom he is said TO have as
sisted and employed as manager of the
Silveira Sugar Company
Formerly Silveira and ex-President
Palma were intimate friends. but Sill

Il at arms length, with the crook of
= cane around his neck, while Iieuten-
ant struck the helpless man on the face

made against william James COnners
here during the strikes of 1899. The
same Conners-"Fingy---is now chair
man of the Democratic State committee

Of William r.. Hearst, as Governor, on
Iaboring mans ticket.
II probably will be hard for those
who do not know Conners personally
10 believe that man who is now state
chairman could have taken personal
part in dock scrimmages only seven
years ago. But the Police Department

contain corroborated ahidavits and cor
roborated sworn testimony bearing out
the CHARGES. All those records are pub

Corners had just been whipped into
submission by his striking grain show
elers in the spring. of 1893 when the
union for the handlers went out
Michael Winsierski was secretary OF
the Freight Handlers Union and Gust
wall was president OF the Outside
Freight Handlers Union. About the
time this latter strike was being set

by their men through thick and thin
