GOMEZ CRUSHING REVOLT
He May Be Able to Put Down
Uprising, Osterhaus Says.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

from the Cuban revolution reached Wash
ington to-day from both Admiral Hugo
Osterhaus commander in chief of the pre-
cautionary feet" and Admiral Nathaniel
r. Usher. the former being at Havana, and
the latter at Guantanamo. Similar advices
we're received from other sources, the gem
eral opinion appearing to be that the
Gomez government is making some prog
ress toward putting down the uprising.
Rumors of friction between Admiral
Osterhaus and Arthur Nj. Beaupre, the
United States Minister. were branded as
maliciously false by officials of the state
and Navy departments. The former has
expressed the belief that President Gomez
would be able 10 handle the situation un-
less il becomes much more serious, ana i'll
his report 10 the department stated that ne
had received reasonable assurances from
the Cuban Executive.
An indication of the feeling that the ST.
uation In Cuba is not so serious is disclosed
in the order permitting the first division oil
the Atlantic fleet, which was detained IN
Hampton Roads pending developments III

the New England coast as originally
planned. This division. which Is in COM
mand OF Rear Admiral Aaron Ward. com

Admiral Usher's dispatch to the Navy
Department was that the conditions were
quiet and that there were no developments
in the districts OF Baracca, Santiago and

High Society Women
Bad Insurance Risks:
Hurry Toward Grave
Head of American Life Company
Says They Drink and Eat
Harmful Things.

CHICAGO Sept. 5.-Women in high
society are bad insurance risks All
other women, especially business wom-
en-, are considered good risks That is
the dictum of the American Life In
surance convention in session here.
Women who live so-called high life
have a hard time getting insurance"
said President Gold. They eat such
indigestible food and drink so many
harmful beverages that their systems
soon are wrecked and they go the
quick route to the grave.
Toward other women life insurance
companies feel differently. Many COM
panies are removing women from the
list of undesirable risks"
