Action Of President Gomez in Order
ing Maneuver Starts Report of
Another Revolution.

HAVANA, July 7.-Following the dis
quoting rumors yesterday Of projected
uprisings in the provinces OF Oriente and
Pinar Del Rio. the city was thrown into
intense excitement early today when
drums beat to quarters in Castle La
Fuerza, opposite the presidential palace
and the garrison of 200 men sailed forth
and threw a Gordon around the execu-
tive's home. The soldiers stood on the
defensive apparently to repulse an attack.
Soon afterward. nothing else having
happened, the troops marched back TO their
quarters. President Gomez later explained
that the mRneuvers had been ordered
merely for the purpose Of seeing how
quickly the garrison would surround the
palace In case Of emergency.
The incident gave r,se to rumors that
a revolution had broken out in Havana
and caused mucn alarm. There was some
adverse comment on the action of the
president in ordering the maneuvers at
the time when so many alarming reports
are abroad.
