MORE NEGROES IN JAIL
Conspiracy in Cuba Promptly
Checked by Force.
ARMED UPRISING PLANNED
Sixty Men To Be Tried-Peace-
full Conditions Reported
from Pinar del Rio.

Havana. April 24.-Further arrests are
being made in various parts of the island
of negroes suspected of being implicated
in the conspiracy to organize a move
ment against the government. but no dis
turbance of the peace is anywhere re-
ported. The turbulent negro element ap-
parentiy is terrified by the prompt action
OF the government and the display Of
military force in the dispatch of regulars
and rural guards to Santa Clara and
the eastern provinces. Prisoners from
all sections are being brought under
strong guard 10 Havana for trial before
the special court. and there is every rea-
son to believe that the movement las
been completely crushed.
Senior Pasalodos. secretary to Presi-
dent Gomez. speaking for the President
tonight said that the government had
carly information that small number
of the Radical leaders and members of
the Independent Party OF Color had
planned simultaneous uprisings with the
intent TO open war against the whites
and overturn the government. In con-
sequence Of the prompt action Of the au-
thorities, all the leaders. he said. had
been arrested They number about sixty,
and will be promptly tried according to
law
The government has reason to suspect.
Senior PasalOdos continued. that the
movement has the support of certain
elements not openly affiliated with the
negroes. and this matter is now the SUBJ
jet OF close investigation. There is no
doubt, the secretary added, that an
armed uprising was intended. but il is
not known how many of those impli
Gated in the movement had weapons. An
active search is being made for concealed
arms.
Advices from the western end of Pinar
lei Rio show that the blacks were on the
verge OF an uprising when the news Of
he arrests came whereupOn confidence
VAS restored. RumOrs of wholesale dis
charges Of negro members of the rural
guard are denied. the loyalty of that
force not being doubted. The excitement
IN Havana is rapidly subsiding.

ficers and in three cities to judges. held
a conference of probation officers and a con-
ference Of city magistrates published five
pamphlets on the operations and advan-
tages OF the probation system. and distrtb-
ute a large amount of literature; supplied
more than fifty thousand forms TO proba-
ton officers for their records. and assisted
in holding Civil Service examinations for
probation officers.
The report lays special stress on the i'm
portance in probation work Of Intelligent
methods and thOroughness. Success in the
use of the system is declared to depend
chiefly on these requisites:
r'frst-That courts select competent and
faithful probation officers
Second-That courts select for prObdtlOn-
ary treatment suitable defendants
Third-That courts keep. persons on pro-
baton sufficiently long -.
Fotrth-That probation officers Keep CLOS

Fffth-That probation officers use enSc-
tive means to improve the. habits OF those

Sixth-That persons on probation proving
unfit for such treatment be returned 10
