WASHINGTON. d. c. June III
have yet to meet on officer of our civil

intervention who believes the present
Culan republic can long endure, said
Cassidy Cook. a prominent Aew YORK
attorney, who is mere.
Cuba is practically owned by Span
ish and other alien capital, whose IN
terests necessarily favor annexation OF
the island to the United States. While
there were several pretended causes
for the issurrectiOn against President
Palma, the true one with many OF the
insurrecto generals was his uncom-
promising honesty.
THE present government has COM
pletely and emphatically repudiated
every movement at reform and wise
precaution formulated by President
Roosevelt and General Wood and car
ried out by President Palma.
The commercial and industrial in
terests of Cuba secretly want annexa-
ton the United States at the earliest
day possible. The already senerai
stagnation of business throughout the
island is causing them a great and
irreparable loss. Intelligent Cubans
realize that foreign capital is needed
to develop Cuba's resources, aud they
look with grave fear TO the future.
The general distrust with which New
York capitalists view the present Gu
ban administration will deter them
from any further investments in the
island for the present

MAusER RIFLES IN PIANO BOXES
Large Quantity Of Arms and Amunt-
ton Aboard the Nanticoke and Des-
patch Believed to be Intended for
castro's Use in venezueia-Lyine in
the Black Water.
(By Associated Press.)

NORFOl@k, VA, June 1i.-EdchSu
in piano boxes and ready for shipment
on a filibustering steamer bound for
Venezuela, a quantity OF rifles and am
munition, evidently destined for CT
priano Castro's rvOelutiOnists was dis
covered at Franklin, Va. today.
The rifles are believed to be part
of the II. 900 Mauser weapons shipped
from New York to st. Louis and back
to Franklin, billed as pianos and pack
ed to weather the trip to South Amer
lea. The filibuster suspect steamer
Nanticoke was lying near Franklin,
and in the Black Water below the
steamer was her cOnsort, the tug Dis
patch.
Cutter is B!ockading.
The revenue cutter Pamlico is block
aiding the two suspects and 1t is not
believed that either could pass her
even in the darkness, although there
were persistent rumors that an at
tempt would be made to get away.
Orders have been issued from Wash
ington to take prompt action In case
the steamer should lift anchor.
The Nanticoke is not built for deep
sea navigation, but the Despatch
could navigate far of shore, and the
officers in. charge of the situation be-
lieye that the plan of the filibusterers
was TO transfer the arms to another
steamer at sea.
The Nanticoke is apparently loaded
with nothing but coal but today she
LAYS high in the water. Neither YES
sci had been taken in custody by the
government, but it was believed
prompt seizure would result from the
discovery of the contents of the piano
boxes. United States Marshals We're
holding themselves in readiness 10
take charge of the vessels.
Report of Plot Verified.
Apparently the gigantic plot of Cas-
tro's supporters unearthed by secret
agents of the government and present
Venezuelan regime and at first not
considered very seriously at Washing
ton. for the overthrow of the oppo-
Denets of the exiled president, was
verified by the discovery of the Maui
sers at Franklin.
Whether the entire supply OF rifles
reached Franklin or the flibusterins
steamers were waiting for the arri-
val of other piano boxes from St
Louis. is not known. but the state de-
partment has again blocked Castro's
game.
