REVOL UT|ON IN
CUBA FRUSTRATED
Ten Thousand Arms and AM
munition Seized by the
United States.
CREATES A BIG SURPRISE.
1T WAS NOT UNTIL CUBAN MINIS
TER SPOKE THAT GOVERN
MENT HAD ANY IDEA OF WHAT
WAS PROGRESSING.

New York, June 13.-Ten thousand
arms and ammunition intended to be
used in a new Cuban revolution we're
seized in a sensational manner on
board the steamship Seguaranca of
the line by agents of the United
States treasury department.
The seizure of these arms and am
munition was the first that was learn
ed of the projected revolution, which
is said to have had it's base at Santi-
ago de Cuba.
The steamship was held UP as it
was preparing to sail for Santiago
and when the government agents Or
dered the seizure there was almost
a. panic among the passengers.
Get Tip From Cuban Minister.
That the ammunition was seized by
the federal officials is due to infor-
nation given to the secretary of the
treasury by the Cuban minister at
Washington, Gonzalo de Que sada.
Until he made the announcement that
contraband goods for the rebel party
were being shipped to his country
nothing was known about any attempt
to torment trouble there.
Three hours were required to COM
plete the search of the ship. She
was scheduled to leave at o'clock,
but it was after before the vessel
was permitted to go on her way.
Expect More Seizures.
When the ammunition was finally
brought to light the commander of
the vessel and the agents Of the COM
pany were dumfounded. The cases in
which the 10000 rounds had been
shipped bore labels which wefe Nar
from exciting. One large box had
been shipped as piano and the 9TH
ers were said to contain various sorts
of merchandise.
The treasury officials said nothing
as to what they were after when
they appeared at the pier. They SIM
ply exercised their legal authority and
went through every nook and corner
in the ship, while the crew and pas
sengers stood by in astonishment.
Whether it is suspected that prev
ious shipments were made. the treas
ury officials would not say. 1t was
admitted though that further seizures
are expected and that a sharp lookout
is to be kept on vessels sailing for
Cuba, not only from this port but
from others along the coast.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS
ARE BEING WRITTEN
Plague of ScurriIous Writing
Has Again Broken Out
In the City.
WOMEN SEND MISSIVES.
WOMEN SEND MISSIVES.
POSTMASTER SPEkENHIER IN
SPEAKING OF THE SITUATION,
SAYS 1T is SURPRISING THE
NUMBER THEY SEND.

Postmaster A. J. Spekenhier states
that the local postofIice is again being
troubled with people who write anony-
nous letters of a threatening nature.
He says that at the present time he is
investigating several cases of this
kind.
"a few months ago the Palladium
printed an article setting forth the Sc
we're punishment the government met
ed forth to people who wrote anony-
nous letters of a threatening nature.
Afte the publication of this article the
local postoffice was not bothered by
this class of offenders FOR some time,
but recently the anonymous letter
habit has broken out anew and today
it is as bad as it ever was states Mr..
Spekenhier.
About the first case Of the present
epidemic" was the Bentlage case. The
letters received by Mr.. Bentlage were
of the most threatening nature and
the postoffice inspectors began to work
on the difficult task of experimenting
the author of these epistles, but their
efforts were unsuccessful because of
blunder made by the local police.
Several Other Cases.
Since that time several other cases
of a similar nature have cropped out
here, but none of them have been as
serious as the Bentlage case. Nh.
Spekenhier states that most threaten
ing letters sent through the mails are
written by people who are ignorant of
the severe penalties imposed for such
an offense. ~
"a neighborhood quarrel starts"
states Mr.. Spekenhier, then toward
the last stages anonymous letters be-
gin to figure in the hostilities. When
the recipient of these letters becomes
thoroughly angered he or she, as the
case may be, comes to the postmaster
and lodges vigorous protest.
When the principals of the neigh
borhood disturbance appear before the
postmaster, the offense of anonymous
letter writing is outlined and in near
ly every case the disputants, before
leaving the postmaster's office, are
again the best of friends. You would
be SURPRISED to know how many anon
ymous letters are written by women.
Jealousy prompts most of them to
write these letters.
'Postoffice inspectors working on
an anonymous letter case never arrest
people on suspicion These inspect
ors hold that a suspect has as good a
name to shield as his accuser. How
| ever, when the inspectors secure indis-
putable evidence against the suspect,
they act quickly and the blow comes
! like flash out of clear sky"
