CUBANS FLOCK|NG
INTO SANTIAGO TO
OBTAIN PROTECTION
Government Reports of Con-
troll of Outbreak Shown
to Be False.

SANTIAGO, Cuba, June 12.-Repeated
attacks on American marines have re-
suited in strict precautions by the COM
manders of all detachments sent out to
protect property in eastern Cuba.
The declarations of government Of
f1cials at Havana that the rebel out
break Is under control Is clearly shown
to be false by the insurrecto operations.
This city is today filled with refugees
who fled from their property for pro-
lection of their lives, bringing stories of
rapine, arson, and pillage committed
by the soldiers of Generals Estenoz and
Ivonet. They assert terrible tortures
are inflicted by the negro rebels, that
women are daily outraged, mutilated,
and murdered.
The government soldiers are not much
better. 1t Is asserted that they have
cut off the ears of captive rebels and
turned them over to their officers as
proof of their success.
Reports were received early today of
an outbreak at the Woodfred mines,
near Mayari. where sixty-five American
marines have been sent with a mounted
gun.
