want this property to fall into the
hands of any government except its
own.
The efforts of Gomez in pushing this
matter through the congress of Cuba
has led to one of the most remarkable
scenes of gun play known in any
civilized country. 1t has resulted in the
discharging of firearms in the Cuban
capital, the exchanging of shots be-
tween members of the houss and SEN
legislators, two of which occurred in
the capitol and two of which were the
result of a duel on the streets near the
capitol
His opposition to the trade has led to
the dismissal of Faustino Guerrero,
head of the standing army, and it ls
expected that he will start a revo1u-
ton.
Faustino Elmo Guerrero, at the
time of the last Intervention. was a
powerful liberal leader in Cuba The
last intervention can be charged as
much to him as to any other person.
When the United States stepped in it
was Guerrero with whom it dealt in
bringing about a new election under
the supervision of officials from this
country. Guerrero saddIed Jose Miguel
Gomez on the Cuban people as presi-
dent. Gomez was elected under the
supervision of this country.
In return for services rendered by
Guerrero, Gomez made MIN cOmman-
der in chief Of the army of Cuba In

Monteguedo. head of the rural guards,
President Gomez sided with the latter
and Guerrero resigned

REBELS CUT WIRES.
After Stealing Train Running Out of
JuareZ.

Ell Paso, Dec. 23.-Nothing has been
heard up to noon today as to what had
been done with a train which the in
surreetos captured south of Juarez
last night. The wires were cut and
since then have not been repaired.
Railroad officials were preparing to
send the regular trains south at l
o'clock today and trust that the line
is still open. The rebels are in the
hills within a few miles of Juarez, but
apparently are making no effort to at
tack the city. AS the revolutionists
went south on the train which they
took last night, they have attacked the
town of Casas Grandes, which is the
supply point of all the Mormon colon
lists in that region. Soldiers were re-
Gently sent to Casas Grandes and many
arms have been Shipped there.

Washington, Dec 23.-Troops of the
United States army are in readiness to
be rushed to Cuba to maintain peace
and protect American and other for

Officials of the war department look
for crisis in the affairs of the island
republic by February. In 1906, when
the United States intervened in Cuba,
the then presid ent of the United States,
Theodore Roosevelt, and the secretary
or war, William H. Taft, declared that
if this country was again called in to
settle disputes between factions of the
Cuban government and maintain peace
throughout the island the Stars and
Stripes would remain there
Officials of the state and war depart
ments have been kept in close touch
with affairs in Cuba ever since the
evacuation by American troops less
than three years ago. Within the last
received from American representa-
tives in the island have indicated that
the Cuban government was not sub
stantial and could exist but a few
months longer. Within the last three
weeks the reports have been so dis
couraging that the war department has
felt the necessity of keeping 5000
troops within a thirty-six hours en-
barkation point
When Secretary of War Dickinson
ana bT1SdQleE= GeneTdl clarence EQ-
wards chief of the bureau of insular
affairs of the war department, visited
Cuba in November. this year, they
were startled and amazed by the dis
rupted and corrupt conditions which
they found existing there.
Bloodshed Is Foreseen.
It was on the strength of their re-
port and those of John B. jackson,
minister to Cuba, that the administra-
ton deemed it advisable to have
troops and munitions of war in readi
ness for immediate use. Leading Off
GERS of the army do not believe that
the American flag can be planted in
Cuba without bloodshed.
According to reports in the war and
state departments. it has been the
| practice of the United States pro-
| tege president in Cuba, Jose Miguel
Gomez that has led to the undoing of
all that General Leonard Wood, Presi-
dent Taft and Governor Magoon did
to put the government on substan-
tial basis. These reports state that
many measures have been pushed
through the Cuban legislature for the
benefit of special interests.
The sum of 100000 was received
from the United Railways for infiu-
ence to push a measure through the
house of representatives and senate in
