Cuban Corporal's Guard De-
SertS and Authorities
Fear Uprising
Troops Rushed to Scene
and Consplrators Taken
Dead or Alive

havana, MarC0 lO.-1Qc 0rSL armed
uprising against the new Cuban re-
public occurred last night within a
little more than six weeks after the
Inauguration of General Gomez as
president. How serious the move
ment Is it is impossible to determine
at present. all that is known being
that a sergeant of the rural guard,
stationed at the town of Vueltas, in
Santa Clara province, with a party of
seven men, some other members of
the rural guard, and number of
peasants, took to the woods and that
the troops are in active pursuit.
While the movement apparently Is
unimportant numerally all indications
point to the fact that it is a part of
a widespread conspiracy, the nature
of which is indicated by dispatch
received here this afternoon, which
stated that a special train carrying
a detachment of the rural guard under
command of Major General Montea-
gulo, was proceeding as quickly as
possible for Vuoltas.
News Of the uprising reached the
palace at a late hour last night, but
was suppressed until this afternoon.
when, according to the first account
it appeared that sergeant and seven
of the rural guards here mutinied
and deserted from a post near Vuel-
tas.
Later an official statement was
given out to the effect that Sergeant
Cortes and seven men had started an
movement, the motive
for which, it was officially declared,
was the refusal Of the government to
gives .Cortes a commission with the
regular army.
President Gomez declared his inten-
tion Of instantly suppressing the up
rising and making an example of all
concerned. He ordered the rapid con-
struction of troops in the vicinity of
vueltas for the purpose of surround
ing the fugitives. Orders were issued
to the aroops not to cease the pur-
suit until all had been killed or cap
tured. Later it was learned that a
conspiracy had been unearthed in
which the rural guard was implicated.
At Plactas a former captain of the
rural guard, Lavastida by name, and
at Vueltas Corporal Richardo and two
civilians were arrested on a charge
of completely in the insurrectionary
The district where the trougle has
occurred is strongly Liberal, Santa
Clara being the home province of
President Gomez, of which he former
ly was governor. All the participants
in the rising are reported to be Lib
erals of the Niguelista faction, among
whom it is known there has recently
been widespread dissatisfaction over
the distribution CT Offices.
