United States Transport Prairie at
Guantanamo With US
Aboard.
READY TO AID GOVERNMENT.
State Department Insists That Prep
aration for Protecting American
Interests Was Timely.

Washington, May 29.-With the az
rival of the U. S. Army transport
Prairie at Guantanamo with IT'S ma
rines aboard, the government today
prepared to send these marines into
the troubled province Of Oriente,
Cuba, either to aid in guarding Am
erican property which is endangered
by negro rebel bands or to assist the
Cuban officials in putting down the re-
volt. This force is now on American
territory, namely the U. S. Naval
Station, but it is known that officials
mere vii not hesitate to order them on
to Cuba soil if the events require such
action.
The province Of Oriente which is
now the scene of most serious disturb
ances is close to Guantanamo and U.
S. marines can be dispatched there
within a very few hours.
State Department officials reiterate
that precautions already taken 'by
them to protect American and other
foreign interests in the island have
been amply justified. Large amounts
of sugar cane on plantations in which
American capital is invested, have
been destroyed and the factories on
these plantations are now in dagger
of destruction. The attitude of the
rebels under General EstenOZ IS held
to be most threatening. Fstenoz
claims that if he is not able to obtain
assn, anre that tie M0rVS. law, pro-
-hibitinr the organization Ct 4 strict
ly negro political party, will be re-
pealcd, he will force owners OF .:)l-
roads and other corporations TO con-
tribute funds with which to prolong
the conflict against the Gomez reg
ime. In the meantime, Sn'a'l 5ardS
of blacks are pillaging stores anc
stealing horses and little successful
effort has been made to put stop
to it.
Havana, May 29.-Negro rebels to-
dav entered San Ramonde Los 1lg-
uas, sacked the town and destroyed
much property. The inhabitants did
not resist and were not molcsted.
Gen. Mcndieta, commanding the
federal troops in Oriente province
today demanded court of inquiry
into his actions. He declared that ne
mas begged the governor for permls-
sion TO attack the rebels and that per-
mission has been refused. He declares
that he will resign from the army

The Republic of China.


The miracle has happened and the
oldest and least progressive of the
great nations is on its way to becom-
ing the first republic Of the orient.
That China vii become a republic
was settled when Yuan shih Kai and
the throne agreed to the assembling
Of a national convention
In the magnitude OF the change
this was one Of the greatest reyo-
lutions in human history, and yet it
was achieved substantially in three
months time. The result is inn
mensely gratifying TO All who love
republican institutions in fact as
well as in name.
For the II servers who believe In
everything about democracy except
the rule of the people it will not be
so welcome, They have been tbs
loudest OF those crying that Chin;
was not ready for republic, Thu
same thing was said of this countr.
when we were struggling for indie
pendence. Of France in the daye o
the revolution and OF every othe
land striving for liberty and popula
government.
If the doubling Thomases maxim
such statements had been heedet
there never would have been a repub
lie on earth. The way for the peopl
to learn howw 70 govern themselve
is to govern themselves, That
what China is preparing to do.
