CUBA PREPARES FOR
ANOTHER UPRISING
Machine Guns and Troops Are Rushed
to Santa Clara.

HAVANA. April gO.-During the
night special train carrying a battal'
ion of infantry and battery Of machine
guns under command Of General Rivas
left Camp Columbia bound for Santa
Clara. There was rumor current last
night that an uprising had occurred in
Santa Clara province, but this the Gov.
eminent denied.
Secretary of tho Interior Lopez LENA
said reports had reached the Govern
mCnt that there was condition OF
suppressed excitement among the ne.
groes of Santa Clara and the eastern
provinces In consequence OF the incen-
diary uttoranccs of the negro agitator.
General Evaristo Estenoz. Because of
this report the Secretary said, the
Government had decided to send troops
for the sake of tho moral effect.
The widespread sentiment of appre-
hension, the result of sudden dispatch
from Spnta Clara of a battalion
of infantry, battery Of machine guns
and troop of mounted rural guards
has been in nowise allayed by tho
statement given out at military head
quarters tonight that the dispatch oil
the troops was merely the carrying
out of long approved plan to station
garrison at Santa Clara.
There are rumors of impending no

of Santa Clara. Orlente and Pinar de

machine; who is 10 deny him, offhand, since
the discovery Of radiuml And, on this par
ticular May morning, a certain ordinary look
ing youth, with a neat serge suit, natty straw
hat, big gray eyes and determined mouth,
was convinced that he knew more about the
.Llhfn embryonic business of advertising than
fhcsqllc several men who made their liyings
out oft His narne was James Leonard, and
he was not quite tweniy-four years old. Until
usp weeks before he had held the position Of
advertising manager in Simpkins and Bow
mans department store; a position which his
energy and IDEAS had raised from the c,lsto-
mary obscurity ofssueh positions to startling
prominence. Because Of glaring faults, he
had been discharged.
The youthful business genius who attains
suddenly to eminence, only TO drop back like
an immature aeroplanc, is much commoner
than one might suppose Newspapers, in
laudatory items, and magazines, in adapta-
tions Of these items, called fiction, record his
ascent and leave him assembled. Even more
frequently than the love hero is Happily
Married, without a hint Of future divorce
proceedings; the business hero secures a
Splendid Position, without a hint OF future
humping the bumps lnasmuch as the ratio
Of business revcrses is hugely larger than the
ratio Of marriage reverscs, this state OF affairs
is objectionable. We shall, therefore, en-
deayor to add our mite toward evening mat

IN spite Of his first success, Jimmy Leonard

considered principally as sort,of gratuity 10

ideas, ideas which have since proved their
vast superiority over the old ones. But his
experience with men was small; he had the
uncompromisng severity Of youth-the mar
rowness OF few years and limited experience;
and his success bred in him an over -weening
seli-confderce 1t is bad enough when
seventy years acquires the opinion that ii is
mpeccablc; but when calow twenty arrives
at the same conclusion, il is downright la
mentable. Young Leonard made the two
fold mistake OF becoming supercilious and
believing himself invaluable, which, OF course,
only about one man in several hundred inil-
lions really is.

The early lark had arisen, breakfastcd on
the worm, and turned his attention to other
matters before Mr., Boggs bethought him
again Of mundane affairs. AT fifteen minutes

Mr. Boggs made supreme effort and,
with the assistance Of solid bit Of masonry

"Who' Me' Me put him up to it2"

and horror. It's like his nerve"
His expression was so lugubrious that
Jimmy melted toward him. a

As result Of this attitude, nobody liked
him, and belnisscd those little personal iavors
and courtesies which mean so much to even
The most business-like conduct Of business.
He managed to get on bad terms With most Of
the local advertising agencies and publica-
tions, to which he addressed unnecessarily
harsh, and often sarcastic letters. When MIR.
Bowman, the head Of the firm which en-
iployed him, endeayored to cxpostdlate with

and the afternoons at his desk, as combina-

His efforts to influence the settled revolutions
Of business were comparable to those Of a
mosquito on dy-whccl. His task was rem
dercd the more hopeless because everybody
who knew anything about him knew Of his
.rockct-likc rise and no less rocket-likc fall.
Ashe'turned down side street to his box Of
an Office, he wondered whether they didn't
sknow.ia good deal more about the fall part
than he had known himself.
Mr.. Boggs, in the meantime, had bctakcn
himself 10 a much-mirrored restaurant, and
ordered sumptuous rcpast
BY the time he had finished his luncheon,
ne was in such capital spirits that he decided
TO spend the afternoon at Coney Island.
Accordingly il was nearly five O'Clock when he
arrived al the Hallowcll Offices, and the edify-
ing surprise, The latter, which had been
waiting with laudablc patience, was enclosed
in a little blue A. d. T, envelope, marked

as follows:

The reading Of this note inspired Mr.
Boggs to make two remarks. The FIRST was
too blasphemous to print, and related to a
number Of horrible things that Mr.. Boggs
was willing to have done 10 him. The sec
ond. accompanied by huge sigh, was: " It's
all that young Leonard's doings; the ad. busi-
ness amt what it used to be-"
But the circumstances clearly demanded
more strenuous measures than remarks.
Jimmy must be seen and talked 10 before
morning
- Mr.. Boggs departing with the praise
worthy intention Of going to see Jimmy as fast
as electricity would take him, soon developed

would miss his cheerful presence. He cx-
pccted a good dcalFof that dinner; Wilson
would have to spread himself to make up for
the morning insulting seancc.
'Dinncr first and Bcnsonhlrst after
wards" concluded Mr. Boggs, unconsciously
damaging very ancient and respectable
maxim
He improved the short walk to BilIy's by
invcnting a story suitable for young Lconard's
consumption. He decided 10 put all the
blame on the missing Bilkins, explaining that
irritation with Mr. Wilson had caused the
mornings version of the matter. Mr.. Boggs
