RUMoR OF UPRISING IN CUBA
UncOnhrmed Reports that Revolution
IL In Progress In Eastern
Provinces.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May "a special
to the Times Union from Key West today
says there were alarming reports at Key
In the eastern end of Cuba under the
leadership OF Modesto Leal an agitator Of
the cigar strike in Key West last Novem-
ber but the rumors lacked verihcation.
The special says the Cuban consul wired
Havana for the truth concerning the re-
ports, which were also to the effect that
Leal had organized a strike of 5000 men in
Santiago and that reports had even reached
Key West asserting that President Palma
had sought safety at Morro castle. There
was nothing to corroborate any of these re-
ports. The interception OF the cruiser Col
umbia by wireless telegraphy caused ex
citement at Key West, but the intercept
ton was merely to dilever orders for the
cruiser to proceed to Hampton roads. In
vestigation failed to trace the source Of the
rumors.
Or. J. l.. Romero, Cuban consul at Jack
sonville, discussed the reports with Cap
tain Guarano Lander of the Cuban rural
guard, who is here on a visit Captain
Lander expressed the opinion that there
was no revolution, but Modesto Leal, the
we'll known agitator of Santiago had
merely headed a party of malcontents and
was making manifestation to show their
disapproval of the administration. Regard
ing the Inauguration of President Palma
today he said that while no one has pre-
dicted an outbreak the authorities had
taken every precaution.
