Havana, Cuba.-The delay of the
federal troops in crushing the negro
rebellion in Cuba gives rise again to
the report that the uprising is fost-
cred by Gomez politicians.
The story is that these schemers
desire to give Gomez a chance to
make political capital for himself by
little filings at Taft and the United
States. Later it is planned that he
shall induce the negroes TO surrend-
er, thus bolstering his party. With
the exception of the loss suffered by
the Spanish-American Mining Com
pany, there is little damage to prop
erty as a result of the uprising.

GAINS IN ASSEMBLY
SECTION WEST OF MISSOURI TO
HAVE THIRTEEN .MORE
MEMBERS UNDER NEW
AppORTIONMENT.

Pierre, S. D.-The preponderance
OF. legislative membership between
the east and west river portions Of
the state has always been so heavy
in favor of the eastern part that the
west could not make any great show
ing if it should at any time attempt
to push any measure not to the Xix
ing of the eastern members. lot that
such a test has often come. up, but
the force of numbers existed from
the beginning of statehood, and yet
exists, although the west made a
decided gain through the apportion-
ment act of the last session, and will
no doubt make even a greater gain
through tn next apportionment,
which cannot come until the session
|of 1917. The changes in the senate
must come by cutting out eastern
members, as the senate has from the
beginning of statehood, been, UP to
tthe full constitutional limit of 45.
While the house had room FOR ex-
Epansion within the constitutional
Limitation, the law makers did not
see that such course was required,
and while the western part. of the
tstate gained in that body, it was al
so by reductions east of the river. VI
Ito the last session the west river
country had a representation of &c
|of the 149 members of both houses,
while the reapportionlnent gives il
1873 out of the 147 membership as IL
will be for the next six years. VI
to the last apportionment the section
west of the river secured seven ou'
of the As senators. Under the pre-
sent apportfonment it will get 10 on
OF that number, a net gain og 5; ant
its gain in the house will be tel
members, or twenty four out of 102
