England in the coming Olympic

John Flanagan, who, it Is under

UNITED STATES JUSTIFIED.


Washington, May 2S.-The precau
tons taken to protect American and
other foreign interests in Cuba have
been amply justified in the judgment
of the state department, based upon
reports that have been received from
many sources and especially from the
owners of plantations, sugar mills,
iron mines and other industries. Up
to the present ii is declared there has
been no destruction of valuable prop
erty. 1t is said also that the situa-
ton at Guantanamo is improving.
one fact indicating the state de-
partments action in asking for naval
protection of American interests is
the threatening attitude of the rebels.
According to the information, appar-
entity reliable, that committees to the
department, the Insurgents are be-
coming desperate and Gen. Estenoz
their leader, declares that if Presi-
dent Gomez deos not secure the re-
peal of the Morua law, prohibiting the
organization of a strictly Negro part
in Cuba. he and the other leaders Will
demand contributions from the rail-
roads and from the owners OF estates
in order to prolong the conflict ana
will destroy the property OF those VINO
decline 10 acquiesee. In the meantime
bands of Negroes in the unprotected
sections of the Guantanamo continue
TO pillage small stores.
The state department hopes That
immediate and energetic measures on
the part of the Cuban government Will
suffice to quell the revolt and prevent
further depredations. 1t is realized
that il is not easy for regular troops
to run. down and capture these rebels
who are familiar with every trail in
the jungle and who can live on the
country with the aid of little sugar
cane and wild fruit.
AS the idea has been preached that
the rebels are calculating upon maxi
ing an easy escape from Cuba to other
West Indian islands in the event that
they are too closely pressed by the
government troops. it is proposed By
some of the naval officers mere. If they
are called upon TO take an active part
i'm the troubles. to cut off the retreat
of such fugitives by a thorough boat
patrol of every inch of the eastern
coast of Cuba.
The CELEBRITY with which two whole di-
visions OF the Atlannc Heet responded TO
the call for a naval demonstration in the
Southern waters has not attracted the
attention it deserves in the opinion of
the naval officers here. As matter of
fact they declare this was probably the
speediest and most effective bit of naval
mobilization ever carried out on so large
a scale in this or any other country. As
illustrating the efficiency of modern sci
entifc methods of warfare. it is pointed
out that after counsel by Sec Meyer with
his aids the whole movement was direct
ed by two officers in the navy depart
ment. Admiral Vreeland and capt. Potts,
