UPRISING AGAINST
CUBAN GOVERNMENT
BELIEVED TO BE RESULT or
WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACY.
Several Rural cuardsmen and a Num-
Der Of Peasants Take 10
the Woods.

HAVANA, March 1.-THE first
armed uprising against the new Cuban
government occurred Tuesday night.
within a little more than six weeks
after the Inauguration OF General
Gomez as President How serious the
movement Is IL Is impossible TO de-
termine az present. all that is known
being that a sergeant Of the rural
guard. stationed az the town Of Vuel-
tas. in Santa Clara province. with a
party Of seven men, some other mem
bers Of the rural guard and a number
ol peasants took to the woods and that
the troops are in active pursuit.
While the movement apparently is
unimDOrtant numerically. all indica-
tions point to the fact that IL is a
part OF a widespread conspiracy. the
nature Of which Is indicated by a des-
patch received here which stated that
a special train carrying a detachment
Of the rural guard under command Of
WajOr-General MOnteaugude was pro
ceeding as quickly as possible for
Vueltas.
President Gomez declared his inten-
ton OF instantly suppressing the ri
ing and making an example OF all con
eerned. He ordered the rapid cOncen-
tratiOn Of troops in the vicinity Of
Vueltas for the purpose of surround
ing the fugitives Orders were issued
to the troops TO make no prisoners II
they encountered resistance and not
to cease the pursuing until all had
been killed or captured.
Later Il was learned that a consDi.
racy had been unearthed in which the
rural guard was implicated.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March IL
President Tafts message was received
by the Senate and House yesterday
with demonstrations In both bodies.
The message was as follows:
ITO the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives:
81 have convened the Congress in
this extra session In order 70 enable
il to give immediate consideration 20
the revision Of the Dingley tariff act
Conditions affecting production, man
ufacture and business generally have
so changed In the last twelve years as
TO require a readiustment and revis-
ion Of the import duties imposed by
that act. More than this. the present
tariff act. with the other sources OF
Government revenue, does not furnish
income enough to pay the authorized
expenditures. by July l. next the
excess Of expenses over receipts for
the current fiscal year will equal
500, OO0.
Pledged to Tariff Revision.
The successful party I'm the late
election Is pledged to a revision Of the
tariff The country and the business
community especially expect Il. The
prospect of a change In the rates Of
import duties always causes a sus-
pension or halt in business because
OF the uncertainty as 10 the changes
TO be made and their effect II Is,
therefore. OF the highest importance
that the new bill should be agreed
