Washington, May 9.--Reports that the Cuban government has found 1t neces- sary to arrest members of the independ- ent party of color, were confirmed by state department advices today with ad- ditional information that the leader of the party, General Estenez had euded ar- rest. That this might foment revolution Is regarded possible as previous reports have shown strong disaffecfion among the negroes who declare the. Gomez gov ernment has ignored their claims to a fair proportion of offices. In view of the large proportion of negro population to yield to the demands of this party would mean displacements of hundreds of white Cuban office holders.

The following statement was given out by the Rev. Herbert w. Johnson, Riche- sons spiritual adviser, after the execu- tion:
 T make this statement not so much as an item of news as an act of justice in order to give truth concerning certain questions relating to MT. Richeson that have been much in the public mind of late:
 '.The stories that he has been for a good portion of the time in a state of physical collapse are absolutely unfound- ed. except for the one severe physical re- action after his counsel announced to him that his sentence would not be commuted by the governor. He did not eat a mouth- ful of food for 30 hours. The collapse which followed lasted for 14 hours and was a perfectly natural result of the strain and from the moment when he recovered till he entered the execution chamber he gave an almost perfect ex- ample of heroic courage. or to speak more truly, a deep religious faith.
 ''fhe second erroneous impression which I wish to correct is that his courage was buoyed up through opiates and medicine. Not once since he entered the state pris on at Charlestown did he take a single drop of medicine of any kind. l spoke to him today on this point and also to Dr. Mclaughlin the prison physician. pr. Mclaughlin authorizes me to make this statement

 The condemned man was removed from the Charles street jail to the death cham Der in the Charlestown state prison on May IA On Friday night last, after he had been informed of the governors de- cision. Richeson collapsed. At times he raved The prison physician admins tered sedatives and the prisoner fell into . sleep for 14 hours
 From that time until his execution Richeson appeared resigned to hs fate. He chatted freely with his spiritual ad- visers and counsel regarding the disposi- tion of his affairs and events of his past life

Satisfied With Attorneys

There has been on the part of certain people the claim that MT. Richeson was dissatisfied with his attorneys. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has always spoken to me of their faithfulness and ability in the very highest terms. This relates especially to William Morse. In my opinion nothing more could have been done for Mir. Richeson by any law or lawers than was done by those whom he employed.
 "1 have received number of letters ane telegrams from attorneys and others during the past week which stated that MT Richeson should appeal his case to tie supreme court. I wish to say to these attorneys and to all other per sons who feel that further legal steps sf culd have been taken that Mir Riche-. son himself vetoed any such proposition.
 T am uttering no complaint and no criticism whatsoever. when l say that ny opinion has grown constantly that MT. Richeson was not a normal man. For the past two days have spent hours in talking with him about the minutest de- tails of his crime. l think that no man who could know his opinion and have Eeard his statement concerning the crime could escape the deep conviction that if tiiis man was not insane he was on the border line of insanity"
