NIP REVOLT In CUBA
SECRET OFFICERS DISCOVER

Public Spirited Army Officer Ilaboring
Enthusiastically to Beautify the
Island IL the Innocent Canse OF Or
ganiscd Rebellion in Santiago.

Upon what ticklish terms the busi-
mes OF Cuban qualification ID occasion
ally conducted Is shown by the partic-
ulars which have just leaked out Of a
protected uprising In Oriente which
recently gave Gov. Magoon some anx-
ious hours. At the palace absolute
ignorance is progressed OF anything In
the shape OF disturbance, but the up
rising was projected to take place on
July ~ and would doubtless have been
started had It not been for the vigi-
lance OF United States army officers
detailed on secret service.
Nothing could better illustrate the
irrttability Of some OF the Cuban lead
ers than the triviality Of the cause
which started the movement In the d.
rection OF the woods.
All the trouble arose from the eff
forts Of Capt. Robert Alexander, Elev-
enth United States infantry, quarter
master OF the american garrison in
MORO castle Santiago, to beauty the
grounds about the old fortress by set
ting out trees Unluckily he selected
cocoanut palms for the purpose, and
having secured from an acquaintance
100 young trees had them properly
placed.
While the captain was congratulat-
Ing himself o. his efforts to improve
Cuban property without cost, for all
the work Of planting was done volun-
tarily by the soldiers OF the garrison,
the I'M went flying through the
whole province that the Americans
