IN CUBA
orce in the Field Against
the Rebels
A Force

Washington, Aug. 21.-Mr. Sleep
er, the American charge d'affairs ut
Havana, cabled the state department
today that armed manifestations
against the Cuban government have
occurred in the provinces Of Pinar
del Rio and Havana. Several hum
bred men are said to have taken part
at Pran del Rio. In Havana the
number Is less, perhaps, than 100.
No trouble IL reported in other prov
inces. Several OF the known lead
ers have been arrested.
CONDITIONS SERIOUS.
Havana, Aug. 21.- Although pre-
serving the attitude they assumed in
publicly belittling the outbreaks
against the Palma administration in
high officials OF the government
private conversation admit that condi
tions are serious. This is chiefly
due to the fact that just who are mix
ed up In the plot to depose President
Pal ma is not exactly known and the
secret police seem to be mystified.
They are going about the problem Of
arressing suspects in a general hit
and miss manner and all persons who
have been conspicuous In the liberal
ranks are fair prey for the officers.
Armed demonstrations In Havana
province have so far only indicated
that the rural guards on whose integ-
rity the administration has staked
very much are honeycombed with re-
bellion. In fact, 1t is openly stated
that of the 100 revolutionists now
operating in this provinces 40 are from
the rural guards.
In Pinar del Rio province the rev.
olutionists are decidedly strong. II
is now estimated that fully zoe
hvea taken field there, but Sc
FAR they have contented themselves
with separation from loyalists,
and but one clash with the Loyal
troops has tl1en place. In that 1t wa
case Of one side being afraid and
the other badly scared. VoIleyB weF'

as is known no damage resulted.
A force of 500 picked men under
command Of General Rafael Montal

the field against the rebels.

of the case on two grounds-first,
that the court had no jurisdiction;
second, that the complaint did not set
forth an offence under the statute.
The motion was granted.
1t is probable the city authorities

Collier refused at first but finally
went with Strives and Taylor. Tay
Tor Unexpectedly and without cause
struck Collier and knocked him down
and then began striking him.
The state then called A. L. Ransom,
who swore that about 3 O'Clock a. m.
Taylor and Strives came to the Pas

that he wanted money enough to get
out Of town, as Taylor had knocked
Collier down and kicked him, and
he, Shirves, did not know what might
come OF the case. The case was con-
tinued until Tuesday morning at 8
O'Clock.

There is disposition in Official
cirles to blame Americans for the
present trouble. In fact it Is openly
assured that when the liberal leader,
General Garcia, was in the United
States some months ago he was prone
ised financial aid by the capitalists
who are back Of the Isle Of Pines pet-
Element. These men are decidadIy
wroth over the action Of President
Palma in insisting that the iale IL
Cuban territory and It IL openly as
serted would go to any length to
overthrow the present, would permit
the Isle Of Pines to become American
territory, II for no other reason than
that capitalists interested here have
signified desire to contribute lib
orally to their cause.

mended the installation OF an auto

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SuN.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN,
LONDON, July 7.-George Bernard Shaw
in the course of a few minutes talk bonn
barded tho correspondent of TIE Sun with
a few ideas on the decision of the New
York court that the play Mrs. Warren's
Profession could not legally be condemned.
He aid he was extremely grateful for the
decision of the court.
"The main thing, said Mr.. Shaw, lis that
the decision states that the exposure Of the
social evil may lead to social reform. What
over other comments the Court passed
does not matter to me so long as that prin-
ciple is admitted. According to n paper
the Court deems the play disgusting. I
shall continue to write similar disgusting
things until some definite good Is achieved.
-The entire blame for the agitation
against Mrs. Warren's Profession lies in
the hands Of the New York critics. Their
stupidity, inhumanity and scurrilous and
Obscene language in dealing with the play
drove the poor, wretched little Police Com
missioner to steps he was reluctant to take.

No words Of mine are adequate TO describe
my feelingo toward these critics. They
should all DO gathered In q dustpan and
thrown into q dust heap. Had thcy any
ens Of deoenoy they would make O bare
footed pilgrimage somewhere or shoot
themselves, but I don't suppose they will,
Il do not consider the decision Of the court
complete unless It contains a recommends
ton for tho imprisonment OF all the editors
and critics Of the New York press who weFe
The remainder OF my life will be devoted
to forcing home their d~isgraceful attitude
In this matter. With thousands Of women
In New York under To adverse influences
with which I deal, they had a splendid OPP
portunity Of aiding the work, but their
stupidity was too great to permit them to
see other than sensational phases. In their
ostrichlike dulness they imagine they
know more about the subject than ! do,
but when I say Il thing Is go no sane person
will accept their word against mine.
"The most scandalous lie they told was
that Mrs. Warren's Profession was written
for the purpose Of making money" Here
Mr.. Shaw's eyes blazed and every hair In
his beard seemed to bristle with anger as
he proceeded: Amy intelligent manager
will tell you that a play which is dependent
on Topographic situations Is doomed TO
failure. For u week. perhaps, weak. de-
generate debauchees may pay exttavsgant
prices TO gee such a piece and then it is
finished. Tho impression was spread In
America that Mrs. Warren's Profession
was a piece Of that character. Its pro-
duction cost me s5 900 out Of my wi pocket,
besides injuring the receipts Of other plays
of mine on tour. Yet those who spent
money to see Mrs. Warren's Profession
in the hope of satisfying their mental las
civiousness have my most profound pity in
their disappointment. They must hold me
guilty OF taking their money under false
pretences."

Cairo. One was shown In the exhibition Of

lection In Egypt. M. Gayet Is especially
proud Of one, which was called the favorite
OF Antinous. He speaks lovingly Of her
dark brown hair. which clusters thiokly
like punches Of black grapes. In life she
was one OF the courtesans who vowed SER
vice to Antinous, tho Egyptian Bacchus,
behind whose car she leaped and danced,
symbolizing tho renewed youth OF the year
awakened by the caresses Of the god Of
Springtime.

scarab, saying 1t was ancient and had just

held the scarab in his hands and Gayet,
who expected TO hear some faxed up story
OF old Egypt, heard with surprise an exact
description of the fellah' who had made the
scarab a week before for him.
Then M. Gayet gave the expert a ring Of
virgin gold which had lain 1000 years in the
tomb beside the favoiite OF Antinous
The seer blew lightly, inorder to drive away
the effect Of later touches, and then pressed
his forehead. He had never seen the oour-
tesan's mummy, but described the favorite
as she was wrapped for the tomb. He
described how she danced in procession
and told an intimate story Of her life as an
example OF how she out OF wantonness
would pierce doves to the heart with long
gold pin Of her ~headdress. He told even
the name Of the dead woman, which was

PARIS, July Tho woman question
seems bound to stir the present parliament.
True enough, the French often study women
In their own way, but France Ia a country
where the laws are made by men Of differ
ent conditions. The threatened future
champions Of women have arisen and
formed a new body in the Chamber OF
Deputies known as the Group for the De-
fence OF the Rights Of Women. The leader
Henri Cheron. a deputy from Calvados >
writes tie foremost article in the Mdttt
this morning explaining the objects OF his
associates In arms.
His arguments would be childlike in
America, where man long ago succumbed.
But the familiar, seriously advocated open
ings for women in teaching will not suffice
in France. She must be abreast of the
nations where women have all rights.
England, Australia and Wyoming In the
United States are cited in support OF the
argument. The rights of nan in France are
disparaged and 1t Ia said they are no good
for his wife or children. M. Cheron says
the claims OF women are ~undeniable and
urgent and a Republican parliament can
not ignore them. The new group will de-
fend modestly but theoretically the long
suffering she.
That the devotion to amusement Is not
confined to the French was shown to-day.
when a son Of former King Behanzin OF
Dahomey, who is at Blida, Algiers, tried to
commit suicide. He explained that he
lacked diversion and was therefore tired
Of life.
Here is a chance for an American to buy
a historic chateau. 1t is the Chateau
While, which was built in 1920 and where
in 17ss the first act Of revolution was agreed
upon. It was recently put up at auction

LONDON, July 7.-No Minister hada more
difficult task to tackle in the present admin

appointment Of a lawyer was at first thought
strange, but Mr.. Richard Haldane seems
to have inspired confidence all around.
A good story Is told Of how in tn 9 first week
of his War S~ecretaryship he showed that
he was not bound by conventional tradi-
tlons. He strolled into the room Of one
OF the principal officials one day, and taking
