the report was without foundation.
 The rumor was to the effect that the son of prominent attorney oi the capital city had been arrested by a Pinkerton man and after being talk en to the state penitentiary for safe keeping, had confessed to being the shooter It developed that no sus- pect had been taken to the peniten- tiary at all and thorough inquiry also showed that no suspect had been placed in the Pulaski county pail or the Little Rock city jail.
 Just where the rllnor originated could not he run down, but active newspaper reporters in the capital were given tip" after tip through out the day that prompted them to make extra runs, only to be met with a disappointment each time.
 The rumor went to Hot Springs, TeXarkana, Camden, Fort Smith, Helena, Jonesboro, Warren, Monticel- To, Arkansas City, Brinkley, Eureka Springs and many other points over the state, after reaching Pine Bluff early in the day. The long distance phone lines were kept busy as news paper men all over the state sought to confirm the report.
 At last accounts Jack The Shoot CT was still enjoying liberty and the windows and doors of Little Rock homes were still being barrieaded inn mediately after the supper hour and shotguns, Winchesters and pistols are loaded for all corners.

 Makes Threat.

Washington. F. C., May 2S.-Ten thousand negroes 3,0G0 of them un- armed, are sWarming Over the eastern end of Cuba, tearing ID railroads, burning plantations and threatening to massacre the white inhabitants. The alarming aprcad and maniac charac- ter of the instruction, which is now a war of the races, is described in despatches received Dy the State De- partmnt tonight.
 Only the timely arrival of the Transport Prairie, bearing 1 1000 mari- nes, saved the United States naval station at Guanatamo from capture and destruction hy the rebels.
 Against this force of 10000 negroes, now freed from restraint and threat- ening war against the United States, is an untrained and timid force of 4,000 armed men, whose inactivity is the source of bitter criticism by the Department of state.
 It lo tiit iultiiiloIl Ci liiit U iiiI0u States to establish a camp of 2,4o0 marines at Guatanamo and to operate against the insurrectionists there.
 So alarmed is the United States over the situation in Cuba that one of the highest officers in the navy informed the International News Ser vice tonight that it is the purpose of this country to establish great camp there and maintain it all the time.
 The State Department issued a bull letin tonight announcing that Estenez. the rebel leader, has declared that if 1 the government does not accede to the demands of those in revolt for the repeal of the Morua law he and 1 the other leaders will demand contri- buttons from the railroads and the owners of all estates, and that the property of such managers as do not comply will be destroyed.
 Burn American Property.
 Havana, May 2S-The day passed without any advices of clash be- tween the negroes in the province of Oriente and the regular troops which left Havana last night, although news was received of one or two clashes between the insurgents and the rural guards in the disturbed province.
 The bodies of rehels burned be- 1 tween eight and ten thousand tons of sugar cane on plantation near Guanatamo, together with string of cars and set of heavy scales. The destroyed property belonging to the American Fidelity Company. ] A party of American newspaper men who visited the rebel general say 1 the leaders claim that the government 1 offered them $40,000 each if they would come in with their forces. This is denied tonight by the government officials in Havana.
 The government today paraded the forces of the Havana garrison, about 300 men, through the principal streets in order to demonstrate it's ability to cope with the disturbance.
