REBELS WILL BURN AND
DESTROY---IF NECESSARY
Cuba Junta Says as Last Resort Tobacco
and Sugar Plantations Will
Be Ruined

New York, Sept THE Cuban junta
moved into its new offices, at Pine and
Water streets, for the first time yester-
day. Col Aguierre laughed at the pre-
cautions being taken to insure the safety
of the Maria Herrera, the Cuban govern
nent steamer lying in South Brooklyn
waiting for cargo Of arms and am
munition.
NO" he said, 1--WE have no intention
OF blowing her up, though honesty com
pels me to admit that if we had, ishould
not tell yon do not think that these
reports that she is to be used as a gun.
boat are correct"
Col. Agsiierre would not say positively
whether or not the iunta would run any
filibustering expeditions to the island
nnd laughed al all insinuations He did
say, however, that while they would
not care, in case Of emergency, TO start
an expedition from this country.
IL could easily be done from one OF the
South American republics.
The prediction was again advanced
by the members of the iunta that the
war would probably be concluded by the
end Of the month, when the rebel forces
would be ready lot their dash ON Ha-
sana.
~And in case we are driven TO The
wall' added Col. Aguierre, I'VE have
always one last resort, to impress peo-
pie with our power-to burn the sugar
hnl tobacco plantations. They are com,
pletely in our power-we can do what
Ne wish with .nem.n
This remark brought about n heated
discussion among the other members OF
the junta, which resulted in a mutual
decision that this move would only be
rcsorted to in case of dire extremity.
For" said Mai Castelanoy, you
will see that Pine Guerra says that he
intends to respect all property, especially
that Of Americans. If, though, the un-
likely happens and the revolution is
crushed, tnen the last few men left alive
