from Key West to Havana. This &C
ton followed information at the state
department that Havana is threatened
with a race war. The situation is re
garded alarming.
Minister Beaupre notified the state
department that since Friday morning
riots have ccurred In the negro quar-
tiers Of Havana and vicinity. Negroes
are being goaded into violence by ire
sponsible elements among the white
population. Retaliation upon the part
Of the desperate blacks in and about
the city Is expected at any moment,
and 1t Is believed that the results will
be serious.
Americans Appeal For Aid.
Antinegro demonstrations have taken
place all over the city IN the last
tw~enty-four hours, the American minis
ter reported. The negroes are being
bounded about the city and are in fear
Of their lives. Dread Of the conse-
quences should they make an effort to
defend themselves has alarmed all
Americans and other foreigners In Ha
Yana and also a great many Cubans
of the more conservative nonpoiitical
element.
Appeals were made to Minister Beau
pre- by representatives OF these sle-
ments of the population of Havana TO
ask the United States government to
send a battleship.
The response Of the state department
to this request was prompt. Within a
few minutes after Minister Beaupre's
cable had been received orders were
being sent to Read Admiral Osterhaus,
commanding the first squadron at Key
West, to send two ships to Havana at
once.
