HAVANA FEARS ATTACK.
Cuban Rebels Are Said to be Gaining
Upper Hand.

Upper Hand.
Havana, Sept. 12.-Fears of an at
tack on Havana by Cuban rebels are
growing hourly. That there may be
some basis for these apprehenslons Is
shown by the precautions OF the gov
ernment to guard the capital. Partlc-
ularly are the suburbs we'll patrolled.
The Rapid fire battery of Captain
Reno. an American, is stationed nlght-
ly at La Fuerza castle, in front OF the
na]ace. prepared to sweep the Place de
Arms park, fronting on the palace, IN
the event of any SURPRISES in that
quarter.
The water works at Vento springs
and other outlying exposed points are
being watched with increasing vigil
ance.
REPORTS continue to circulate that
Havana. will be attacked this week,
Policemen now carry carbines at
might.
The government is not yet in po-
s;.ion to take the offensive.
The insurgent forces in Havana
nroyince have almost doubled in size.
General Lorenz del Castillo, who IS
camped at Managua, just outside OF
this city. has his outposts on the mann
roads within gunshot Of the city
guards. Rebels are seen everywhere!
The government hiss Withdrawn all
its small. forces in country towns into
the larger places, which it continues
to hold.
Asbert grows stronger in the south
around Guines.
AS If to assure dwellers in Havana
of their safety, the government forces
in Havana paraded thru the principal
streets yesterday afternoon. They
were greeted with some enthusiasm.
The parade. which was headed by a
fine artillery band, consisted of 400
mounted rural guards clad in the reg
ulation Khaki uniform, 200 mounted
CITY militia. 500 infantry, rural guards
and volunteers and city militia COM
pany of artillery with two machine
gun batteries.
The parade was reviewed by Presi-'
dent Palma at the palace.
Considering that the government
yesterday proclaimed martial law and
began vigorous measures against the
rebel junta by arresting many liberals,
today was remarkably quiet. But that
lighting Of far more desperate char
acter than heretofore will result as
soon as the news shall have spread
thruout the provinces is not doubted
in any quarter.
The first result of President Palma's
decree suspending the constitutional
guarantees has been rush of recruits
to the ranks of the rebels. Pine Guerra,
who has moved his headquarters to
Santiago de los Banos is said to have
obtained 1000 more armed men with
horses.
His greatest trouble now is short
age of ammunition. For this reason
he hesitates to risk decisive action,
as he does not wish to have the issue
doubtful when he strikes the next blow.
