BOGUS MASSACRE PLOT
GOmez's Enthusiastic Supporters
by Spreading Absurd Rumors.

Havana, May 15.-Now that the
excitement aroused by the so-called
negro uprising has subsidized, the con-
viction is becoming weIl-night uni
versal that no anti-white or revolu-
tionary movement was ever contem-
plated by Estinose and his fellow
agitators. and that all the turmoil was
due to the nervousness of the govern
ment, which led to an attempt to
check the progress of a political
movement threatening to attain en-
barrassing proportions
So far the result of the recent ar
rests and indictments of negroes has
not been to weaken the Independent
party of color, but to ALLEVIATE from
the government many thousands of
these very negroes who constitute the
bulk of the party that elected Presi-
dent Gomez.
The government claims to be in
possession of information showing

General Estinose and most Of the
other prisoners were engaged in a
plot to overthrow the government
and massacre all the whites on the
island, but this story practically rests
on the statements of police officers
and spies.
1t is also significant that these
''conspiratOrs'' bent upon the des-
perate enterprise of overturning q
well-armed government and perpe-
trating a general massacre possessed
no weapons. At least, the govern
ment has made no seizures of arms,
with the exception of one revolver
and a machete.
There is plenty of evidence the
conservatives are giving their sup
port to Estinose's political party, and
these conservatives include the best
elements of Cuban society.
Throughout the island there have
been no clashes between the whites
and blacks.

ger, but were pOwerleSs to assist him.
His hands were badly burned by the
friction of the revolving shaft and his
body was badly bruised.
