troops. telegraphed the following dis
patch to President Gomez this morning:
In view of the last happenings it Is
my belief that the revolution is over.
do not think that large bands of rebels
VIII again form. The surrender of Eu-
genio Lacoste. the leader of the insur-
gents In the Guantanamo district has had
a most important effect. He was consid
cred here the real chief of the rebels.
Numerous surrenders continue daily.
Gen lvonet and Gen. Estenoz. the rebel
commanders, are thinking only of their
personal safety.
1T will be necessary to hold the greater
part OF the government troops here in
small detachments under lieutenants and
sergeants to pacify the province Of
Oriente."
Secretary Of the Interior Bru said this
morning the government would soon be
able to arrange for the return to their
homes of the thousands of refugees now
lection would be afforded by strong
parties Of guerrillas patrolling there.
More Rebels Surrender.
SANTIAGO. Cuba, June 17.-Col. Fran
cisco Valiente, commander of a detach-
ment of government troops. reports that
cion in the Oriente province. He says
the rebels are completely disorganzed
and divided into small groups.
Capt. Iglesias reports that he has scat
tered three bands of rebels near Olimpoin
Oriente province and that their leader
was killed.
The belief is general that the revolt
will be quelled within a few days.
SANTIAGO. Cuba. June 17.-The insur-
gent leader. Julio Antomarchi who satur-
day ordered all the whites to leave the
OF FL Cobre. issued a proclama
tion this morning stating that he will
hang any person approaching him with
a suggestion that he should surrender.
KEY WEST. Fla. June 1.-THE battle
ship Nebraska sailed at Q o'clock this

No Attacks at Es Cobre.
Although the time allowed by the
for all foreigners to abandon their homes
IN the neighborhood Of Ell Cobre expired
last night, the State Department early
today had no report Of any attacks

come to the knowledge of the government
here.
However, In view Of the fact that the
distributed a force of about 500 guer-
rillas and soldiers in the danger zone,
while nearly 2OO American marines are
entrenched at Ell Cobre and vicinity. 1t
is believed that the danger to life at
least has been greatly reduced. 1t is pos
sible, of course. that a good deal OF dam
age might be inflicted upon foreign prop
critics by the torch in isolated cane fields
and plantations. but today no report of
destruction of such property had been
received here. and officials were inclined
to believe the proclamation was bonn
bast.
Steam for Cuban Waters.
While Navy Department officials to-
day disclaimed that any order had been
given to the battleships New Jersey
and Nebraska at Key West to join the
other American Warships In Cuban
waters, 1t was said that both ships
were making some steaming trials, and
that 1t was not improbab BILE that these
trials might take them to Guantanamo

dent to those on the inside that this gov
ernment is watching the situation in
Cuba very closely and that everything is
being kept in a state of preparedness for
the movement of the expedftionary force
of 500 troops which was ordered ready
several DAYS ago.
While there is still no intention on
the part of this government to inter-
vene in the political affairs of Cuba,
there is little doubt that any indication
of the fulfllment of any such threat as
that by the Cuban leader Antomancht
probably would be met by the movement
of sufficient American forces to protect
all foreign interests promptly and ef-
fectively.
q. S. Attitude Unchanged.
The government remains immovable in
its decision to refrain from Intervention
in Cuba so long as there is a reasonable
prospect Of the suppression Of the insur-
rection by the Gomez government 1t is
felt that the blow dealt to the insurrec-
tion by the capture OF one prominent
general has greatly increased the pros
poets of an early resumption of control
over the whole province of Oriente by
the government forces.
Secretary Knox. weary OF being called
upon every day. by the publication OF
rumors to reiterate his determination to
refrain from intervention under present
conditions, will make no further state
ments on the subject unless there is a
change in Cuba.
