UPRISING AGAINST
CUBAN GOVERNMENT
BELIEVED TO BE RESULT or
WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACY.
Several Rural Guardsmen and a Num-
Der Of Peasants Take 20
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 at present, all that Is known
being that a sergeant OF the rural
guard. stationed at the town OF Vuel-
tas, I'm Santa Clara province, with a
party Of seven men. some other mem
beFs OF the rural guard and a number
OI peasants took TO the woods and that
the troops are in active pursuit.
While the movement apparently is
unimpOrtant numerically. all indica-
tons point TO the fact that il is a
part of a widespread conspiracy. the
nature Of which is indicated by des-
patch received here which stated that
a special train carrying a detachment
Of the rural guard under command Of
MajOr-General MOnteaugude was pro
ceeding as quickly as possible for
Nueltas.
President Gomez declared his inten-
ton OF instantly suppressing the ri.
ing and making an example OF all con
cerned. Re ordered the rapid concen-
tration Of troops la the vicinity OF
Vueltas for the purpose of surround
ing the fugitives. orders were issued
to the troops to make no prisoners It
they encountered resistance and not
20 cease the pursuing until all had
been killed or captured.
Later IL was learned that a conspi-
racy had been unearthed in which tbs
rural guard was implicated.

His Condolence.

An English lord used to tell story
of a sheriff substitute he once knew
slightly.
Although he was very religious
man. the sheriff had his faults. and
one of these was that he had a habit
Of using strong language without re.
alizing what his words implied. The
sheriff's best friend was the minister
Of the parish, and great misfortune
befell the reverend gentleman by the
death OF his wife.
The sheriff wished to express his
sympathy. but he found himself quite
ut loss TO know what TO say He
sat for n long time scratching his head
and puzzling himself TO know what he
could say to the minister. AT last he
blurted out. well, minister, this is a
d. of a business."-London Express
