BELITTLEs CUBAN REVOLT.
IIslsad Government Assures U. 8. OF
UnImPortsuce of Uprising.

In statements made to the American
Minister at Havana, and through him
forwarded to the State Department yes
terday. the Cuban government is seeking
TO minimize the Importance Of the negro
revolt In that country.
Confidence Is expressed by government
officials that the revolt has been sup
pressed In Its incipiency. The trouble
has been confined. II Is stated. to the
provinces OF Santiago, Santa Clara, and
Pinar del Rio. Negroes have been ar
rested on charges Of revolutionary con-
spiracy. Many OF them were found
mounted and armed Others suspected of
completely in the plot are missing.
At the State Department II Is most
earnestly hoped that the optimism OF the
Cuban government regarding the situa-
ton Will prove justified. In view OF the
already strained situation in Cuba. due
to the Presidential campaign now on,
and the business disturbance resulting
from the waterfront strike, which still
lacks definite settlement 1t is felt that
further disorder would cause disastrous
complications.
