 FIGHT IN DOWNPOUR OF RAIN

for the revolutionists in the south to rest. Then, too, they are reported to have said ammunition is scarce and getting scarcer. To crown the discouraging outlook the Zapatas intimated that after over a year of fighting they had accomplished no prac- tieal result. But it was gleaned from the interview overshadowing all else was the fact that an army might be valiant while the sun shone, but bedraggled column is prone to allow misery to over whelm it's ideals and dull the edge of it's fighting valor.
 Mexico City received the interview with some skepticism but generally indicated a willingness to be convinced of the earnest ness of the zapatas to cease fighting even for a time.

Gomez Issues Call

Havana. June 6.--The gravity of the situation in Cuba was emphasized by the issuance late tonight by President Gomez of a proclamation to the Cuban people, urging them to work and or ganize in the face of the national peril. The President expresses the hope that congress tomorrow will vote credit to cover the extraordinary military preparations-this in addition to the $1,000.000 already voted.
 He says in part:
 "The executive hopes that congress will vote a credit large enough to place on war footing contingent forces sufficient to crush rapidly the tempest of frenzied passions which some crim- inals and their allies in Oriente have unloosed on Cuba.
 Every citizen should vie in being foremost in forming a part of the le- zion of honor to free the republic from the barbarous attack made on it.
 "The enemy confines itself to the jungles. making minor attacks by sur prise and avoiding general combat, and the heroic Cuban people which tol- crates no attack on its honor will dis pose of the enemy as did those who formerly in the fields of Cuba carried amid smoking ruins the stripes and lone star of the flag of our country"
 Congress wih meet tomorrow and it is confidently expected 1t will vote ad ditional credits for military operations.

cavalry. The mountainous forested re zion and it's impracticable roads ap- pear to make such tactics impossible.
 General Monteagudo now depends upon reinforcing his regular organlza- tions with plantation guards who have been released from duty by the arrlval of American marines, especially in the vicinity of Guantanamo City. dividing his forces into smaller units and in- creasing them by bodies of regular troops, mostly mounted, which have been recruited in the province and are familiar with the scene of the opera tions This will involve considerable delay before the troops can be so dis posed as to compel the insurgents to accept combat.
 The military situation closely re- .sembles that in 1S97-9s. when small bodies of Cuban patriots, operating in the same locality, long successfully evaded pursuit by much larger bodies of Spanish regulars. The difficulty Of the military operations has been great ly increased because of torrential rains now prevalent in a large part of the island

Twenty-Five additional soldiers have been ordered from Camp Columbia to reinforce the strong guard of the palace.
 The situation was discussed at a cab inet meeting today, after which Sec retary of State Sanguily expressed the opinion that the crisis was most grave, but that he had full confidence that the government was supported Loyalty by the mass of the Cuban people and would soon prove it's ability to crush the insurrection.
 Great alarm continues at Santiago where preparations are being made to defend the city. American and other foreign property owners estimate that nearly 1000 troops are needed to pro tect the plantat tions and mines Only unimportant skirmishes are reported.
