the facts from my standpoint.

Mr.. Edwards only did what Others

MAY SEND WHOLE
SQUADRON TO CUBA
InSurreCtion in Island Is Spread
ING Rapidly.
TWO DIVISIONS READY TO ACT
Naval Officials Express Belief Entire
Fleet viii Be Necessary to Bring
About Peace in Southern
Republic.

Washington, June 8.-Navy depart
ment officials express the belief that
owing to the rapidly spreading insur-
rection leaving a trail of death, rapine
and destruction of property in it's
wake, will necessitate the sending of
the entire Atlantic fleet of twenty bat
tleships to the island republic to sup
press the revolutionists.
It is believed that orders for a move
ment of the first and second divisions
including eight battIeships will be is
sued within the next few days.
Dispatches to the state department
from Cuba announced that the action
Of this government in landing marines
in Cuba was entirely satisfactory to
President Gomez. The latter has in
formed Arthur Beaupre, United States
minister to Cuba, that the presence of
American troops near the foreign
properties in the disturbed district
will enable the Cuban government to
use the Cuban troops in a determined
effort to crush the rebellion of ne
groes.
Reports from one end of the island
to the other reveal unprecedented &C
tivity on the part of the insurrectos.
Belief was expressed that Gomez will
now content himself with letting the
United States guard the property and
do all the fighting.
So rapidly is the insurrectos force
under General Estenoz increasing that
he now has an effective army of more
than 10000 fully armed men in the
province of Oriente. In addition he is
able to send forces sufficiently strong
to threaten both Santiago and Guam
tanamo.
In Havana province the rebellion is
spreading with such alarming speed
that the entire Gomez army is kept
busy watching suspects.
Havana, June 8.-President Gomez
issued a decree on Thursday suspend
ing the constitutional guarantees
throughout Cuba This places all of
Cuba under martial law.
President Gomez had been authoriz-
ed by a bill passed by both houses of
congress to suspend the constitutional
guarantees. All captured negro in
surgents will be dealt with summarily
by federals while the decree is in
force.

WRESTLING BOUTS IN JAPAN
Description of The Great Contests
Which Are Held Twice a Year
In Toxic.

It is no light matter to be a Jap
anese wrestler Iyemasa TOkugawa,
attache Of the Imperial japanese En-
bassy, gave an outline Of what wrest-
ling meant to the japanese, and men
toned incidentally that the art orig
mated in Japan before the Christian
era.
Mr. Tokugawa said that there are
no fewer than forty-etght f0rmulae by
which wrestlers try to bring oppo-
nents to earth-a sort of catch as
catch can with forty-eight Queensber-
~ rules added. Wregtlers are naked,
except for a narrow. girdIe, and con
sequently it is not easy to get a
hold"
The japanese have at present 587
trained WrestIers in the service Of
The Wrestling Association, and in
June and January of every year there
are great displays at the hall in To
Eo. beginning at sunrise, the
matches continue until the evening,
and it is not necessary for a fall to
take place before a victory can be
claimed
On the floor Of the amphitheatre is
a square heap Of earth three feet high
and in that square is the wrestling
ring, twelve feet in circumference.
surrounded by twelve straw bags.
Let WrestIer's knee touch the
ground or the tip Of his little finger
go outside that ring and he has lost
the match.
There are rigidly observed ranks
among the wrestleTs. All of them go
under nioknames. which are bestowed
on them by their patrons or chosen
by themselves. The highest class is
what may be interpreted as the rope"
men. To be raised to this dazzling
dignity is a rare event.
For 200 years there were only if
teen men who enjoyed the distinction.
and the power to confer the title is
held by an old Japanese family which
IS said to have been that which mi
tiated the art. Altogether there are
five grades of wrestIers, all gladiators,
who are eager to try their skill with
men trained like themselves.
They begin the matches by first
washing their mouths in a bucketful
of water by the side of the ring. No
suggestion is made that they bite each
other; it is simply a peculiar rule.
Then they sit on their launches,
hands on the ground, and watch each
other. If they feel confident they
spring at each other suddenly and
hold onto girdIe or body. But if one
does not wish to start the match and
sees his opponent ready for the
spring, he may call Not yet" and
they both go and wash their mouths
again. There are, therefore, many
not vets remarked Mr.. Tokugawa
