peated his confession of last night
that he had slain both G. H. Toliver
and his wife as they were entering

Toliver was responsible for the con-
dition of Mrs. Lewis. Coroner Bell

The shooting was the direct result
of quarrels between the two men

4 WASHINGTON, May 27.--President
Gomez protest against American in
tervention in Cuba will have no effect
upon preparations Of the United
States army and navy to land an ex-
peditionary force in the island if con-
ditions there do not rapidly improve,
and II Gomez does not show signs OF
greater ability to cope with the negro
marauders than heretofore.
This WAS the opinion expressed by
officials here today. They believe that
Gomez protest is largely designed for
political effect. 1t is pointed out that
there is a large element among his
followers who strongly resent Ameri-
can interference in Cuban affairs and
who from the stump and the press are
always alleging plot to turn Cuba
over to the United States.
That Gomez is doing his best to
head off the rebellion is not doubted
here. This government has never
shown any tendency to doubt the sin
certify Of his purpose but 1t is ques
! toned whether, with his forces hadl.
scattered, and unable to conduct 6
strong concentrated movement agains
the rebels, he will be able to restore
i peace in the island before largs
amount of damage is done to American
property
i The most serious conditions are be
lieved to prevail in the province Of
lOriente, in the eastern end of Cuba
There are at least $3o,oo0O0o worth
of American property in the vicinity
of Nipe Bay now at the mercy of ne
gro rebel bands. The only protection
in sight is the gunboat Paducah, which
was ordered to that point on Saturday
1t is believed here that President
Taft will give little If any persona
attention to the Cuban situation un
til he returns to Washington. Secre
tary Knox who is assuming charge O
the situation, is extremely dubious a:
! to Gomez ability to straighten ou
the islands affairs. With nationa
bankruptcy staring him in the face /
the revolt is not put down within twt
weeks, the Cuban presidents situation
is thought to be most alarming.
