Havana, Sept 4.-As the days and
weeks pass with no appreciable dim
hutton of the revolution apprehension
increases. The most conservative ties.
timony from the country districts OF
the provinces Of P!nar del Rio, Ha
vana and Santa Clara is that. two
thirds of the people are insurgents in
sentiment If not in fact.
It is generally believed that the gov
ernment ultimately will subdue the
insurrection, but in the meantime
crops cannot be developed, and 1t Is
grave question whether the rebellious
spirit even then will be actually quell
ed to the extent of restoring govern
ment to a self-governing state.
General Menocal, whom the people
trust as capable of bringing the war
ring factions together, had two confer
ences with President Palma tode-.
but refused to make any statement.
Managers Of the insurrection have
permitted the publication of docW
nent purporting TO have been found
in an abandoned rebel camp but
which. il is reliably stated, was first
issued in Havana. 1t is signed by
prominent conspirators and gives the
full program of the reyolutionists
policy.
