A Conspiracy Is Said to BE
Backed b. capitalists
Of W. rect,
GOVERNOR MACON BUSY.
SECRET POLICE HAVE BEEN EN-
GAGGED IN SHADOWING REBELS
AND OFFICIALS BELIEVE MOVE.
MENT is ENDED.

-
start a revolutionary movement in
Cuba has been discovered. Under in
structions issued by Governor Magoon
a number of suspicious persons have
been Swallowed for several days. 1t is
said that the movement is backed by
New York capitalists.
Governor Magoon has been aware
for several days past that certain indi-
viduals We're conspiring against the
government. put he did not attach to
the matter much importance owing to
the fact that these persons We're under
constant surveillance, and that the
Cuban rural guard and the American
forces in the island had been so as
signed as to be able TO crush any such
movement in a few hours time.
A report al current Wednesday
that a number of local m~archants had
met for the purpose of informing the
world of the actual situation in Cuba.
Careful investigation proved this rum
or to be absolutely untrue.
RevoIutionists Swallowed.
1t is a fact that certain parties here
have been conspiring for the purpose
of starting a revolution Simultaneous
ly in the extreme eastern md the ex-
IRENE western provinces of Cuba, and
members of the secret police have
been ~shadowing a number of Cubans
prominent politically and these indivi-
duals were not molested for several
reasons, one being the fact that they
were seemingly well supplied with
money which fhnu uyara J;.tr;In,@:rr
in the provinces where they were
working for recruits to their move
ment, and the government was anx-
ious to locate the source whence this
none came.
This was a complete mystery. There
is reason to believe that this c~onspir-
acy has been going on for several
weeks past. The recent miniature up
risings~near Santiago and Canabuani
were due to too great enthusiasm on
the part of some of the partisans in
the movement, who failed to await the
signal from the chiefs in Havana.
1t is declared hat Masso PARA. a
native born Cuban, has been the lea
der of the activity. PARA is known
to have led several Latin American
y III liz past Il "
enter Cuba after being expelled two
years ago, but the Palma administra-
ton feared his purpose in returninN
was to organize a revolution and
would not permit him to land.
PARA Lands in Cuba.
PARA landed in Cuba several weeks
ago and no objection to his coming
was made. It is ~persistently stated
here that the money to finance this
revolution was furnished from Wal
street. There are reports current that
a certain American who was in Cuba
recently and spent four days in Ha-
vana is connected with the conspir-
acy.
The movements of this man were
mysterious. No matter who is behind
the attempt, Governor Magoon is pre-
pared to stamp it out Immediately.
Gen. Pine Guerra. Gen. Jose Miguel
Gomez and the Cubans who led the
revolution against the former Presi-
dent Palma are earnestly opposed to
this movement and stand ready to
take the field with the government
forces should an outbreak actually &C.
cur.
1t is not considered that PARA
would be able to Influence any num-
erous elements to follow him. because
in spite of the fact that he has a GER
tain recognized ability as a revolu-
tionary agitator, he deserted the Gu
ban insurgents during the war with
Spain and joined the Spaniards
against his own countrymen.
