THE CUBAN UPRISING
PEOPLE IN TOWNS ASK FOR ARMS
FOR PROTECTION.

HAVANA, August 22.-The insurrection
situation today continues unchanged. While
the government is surprised at the upris-
ings in central Cuba, the disaffection Of
prominent persons In Havana province and
the unreliability Of some Of it's ostensble
friends, 1t is nevertheless encouraged by the
evidences Of loyalty in the rapid enlistments

Sees No Present Need for Outside As

UNCLE SAM TO HELP IF NEEDED
President Palma Declares That There
is No Cause for Alarm-Move-
ment is Small.

Special D,sTatch to The Star.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y, August 22.-Al-
though President Roosevelt is keeping
closely advised concerning the progress OF
the Cuban insurrection, he is understood
to be convinced that the Cuban authorities
are competent to cope with the uprising
and that the strength of the rebel forces
have been exaggerated. He believes. 1t Is
said that the island republic can work out
its own salvation, and is in no present
need Of outside assistance; and the State
Department at Washington will take mo
word.
No official expression has been obtained
here today as to what will be the Presi-
dents attitude. If, contrary to his expec-
tations, the Cuban insurrection should
swell to such proportions as to threaten
the stability of the government. 1t is GER
taha however, that the President would
view the possible overturning of President
Palma's administration with extreme con-
cern.
That in such contingency the United
States would step in to save the situation
there can be no doubt. The Cuban consti-
tuition gives this country the privilege of
armed Intervention when the rights of the
citizens in Cuba are jeopardized, and the
President would certainly see to it that the
American capital which has been invested
In the island was amply protected.
But this does not mean that the President
would countenance the schemes of those
planters and business men who are con-
trivng to bring about the annexation OF
Cuba by this country
Palma Says No Cause for Alarm.

Our situation, at first, was one Of un-

DENIED BURIAL AT ARLINGTON
Japanese Midshipman Will Be Inter
red at Rock Greek.

The members Of the Japanese embassy
and the friends Of Kinjiro Matsukata, the
japanese midshipman who died of typhoid
fever at Annapolis last Sunday while un-
dergoing a course Of instruction at the
Naval Academy, have decided to inter his
remains, temporarily at least, in the Rock
Creek cemetery, just north Of this city.
The remains will be brought from Annapo-
lis to this city this afternoon.
It had been intended to bury the young
midshipman's remains In the National cem-
etery at Arlington, and an application to
that effect was made to the War Depart
ment through the Secretary of State But
an examination Of the laws governing the
Arlington cemetery showed that interments
there are restricted to soldiers, sailors and
marines in the service OF the United States.
Midshipman Matsukata did not come within
that category. He was not citizen of the
United States, nor an officer Of the United
States navy, being under instruction at the
Naval Academy only as a courtesy to the
Japanese government. His friends, there
fore selected Rock Creek cemetery as the
place of interment
The death of Midshipman Matsukata
leaves but one japanese midshipman in the
agaki Of Kioto, Japan. He is at present
a member of the third class, and was a
great friend of the dead midshipman, Mat
sukata.
Funeral Services at Annapolis.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd, August 22.-Funeral
services over the body of the late Japanese
naidshipman, Kinjiro Matsukata, who died
at the Naval Academy. Sunday. of typhoid
fever, were conducted at the academy to-
day, after which the body was conveyed to
Washington for interment in Rock Creek
cemetery. The escort to the railway station
was composed Of officers on duty at the
academy. about 200 midshipmen and COM
pany Of marines. headed by the academy
band.
Full honors were accorded the dead youth.
It was the desire Of the japanese officials at
washington to have the burial in the Ma
tional cemetery at Arlington, but their re-
quest was refused, because the law provided
that none but American officers or men shall
be buried there.

VICTORIA, B. c., August 22.-Advices
received by the steamer Empress Of China,

known, hut the Russian revolutionary pa
pers published at Nagasaki, Japan, printed
a special edition and circulated numbers
of papers throughout Siberia giving the
news.

decided to mutiny. A meeting of Russian
governors and generals was arranged for
