GUAYAQUIL. Ecuador. January IL
There was a panic here at midnight oW-
ing to an insurrection on board the
cruiser Bolivar whose officers and men
have hitherto supported the provisional
government of Gen. Montero, but who
have now transferred their allegiance to
the Quito government.
Shells were fired from the Bolivar IN
the direction of the gunboat Tarqui as
she was returning from the seaport or
Duran with a detachment of troops to
this city.
The Taraui also carried some of the
cannon belonging to the cruiser Bolivar,
which she was about to land here.
Cruiser Intercepts Troops.
The inhabitants took refuge wherever
they could find shelter, fearing that a
battle was about to occur between the
cruiser and the land forces. The Boil
var raised her anchor. and took up
position in front of Duran in order to
intercept any fresh contingents OF Guas-
auuil troops from reaching Duran.
The gunboat CotopaXi has remained
loyal to the Guayaquil government. me

REPORT Is DISCREDITED.
7-ot Believed Here That Gomez Is
Opposed to Intervention.

President Gomez's reported protest
against Intervention by the United States
government and his alleged statement
that the attitude of the Washington gov
eminent was based ION an erroneous
view of conditions in Cuba arising from
distorted and greatly exaggerated reports
from Havana" was the subject of gen.
eral discussion In official circles today.
That was said to be due to the impression
that the action of the Washington gov
eminent was inspired mainly by repre-
sensations made by the Cuban president
10 the American minister at Havana and
was taken with view of sustaining the
Cuban administration in its policy of re-
sisting the demands, of the veterans

alleged to have aided or sympathized

Upon the word one each could be

to army officials, furnish excellent Ia
cilities for the embarkations of troops
Or it might be desirable that the troops
should concentrate at Newport News and
the entire evolutionary force embark
from that place.
From the latter port it would take ap-
proximately four days to make the trip

In addition to the regular transports. IT
would be necessary to charter merchant
vessels for the transportation of horses
TO be used in campaign. But officials
or the army declare that they do not an
ticpate any trouble in obtaining ships for
this use. Neither do they think there will
be trouble in securing additional mer-
chantmen from the coastwise lines for the
purpose of transporting troops in the
event an army is dispatched.
Ii is pointed out by army officers that
the coastal steamship lines usually Hdsc
several ships laid up which are not avail
able for first-clasS passenger traffic, Dut
which could be used as army transports.
Troops in the vicinity of New York
would undoubtedly leave that port. those
available In Virginia and forts along the
Potomac and nearby states would be dis
patched from Newport News. Georgia.
the Carolinas and nearby states would
supply soldiers for embarkaton from
Savannah. and the Department of Texas
troops so far as available. would prob
ably leave from New Orleans
Mai. Gen. Wood. chief of stan, said to-
day that while the army is always ready
for immediate service, ne saw no indica-
lions of the dispatch Of troops to Cuba.
In fact. he said, the matter OF such use
of troops had not been referred to the
War Department so far as he knew.
In the absence Of definite information
on the subject it was his personal opin-
ion that the notice already served on the
Cuban government will be sufhcient to
remedy existing political troubles In that
country, and render the employment OF
the military and naval forces OF the
United States unnecessary in that quarter.

ANTHRACITE COAL SHORTAGE.
Situation in New York May Be-
come Serious.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE cold
weather of the past fortnight has caused
a shortage of anthracite coal in and
around New York city which threatens
to assume serious proportions unless re-
lief comes speedily.
Large customers who get their coal by
water delivery are the chief sufferers
thus far. At Yonkers the Federal sugar
refinery is shut down and will not re-
sumo operations until boats can go up
the river with coal and sugar.
For the first time in nearly ten years
the Kill Won Kuli. the waterway between
New Jersey and Staten Island. is frozen
over solid and a great many coal tows
are caught in this freeze. This shuts off
receipts of coal from four or five impor-
tant loading points.
Affected by this tie-up of coal ports
are the Pennsylvania. Reading, Balti-
more and Ohio. New Jersey Central and
Lehigh Valley railroads. The most pow
crful tugs employed by these railroads
are at work today In an effort to crush
the tee so that navigation can be re-
sumed.
