FAILURE OF PLANS OF GENERAL
 MoNTEAGUDo
A HALT IN OPERATIONS
New Tactics Will Have to be EmpIoy- ed Which Will Involve DeIay-Arm-
 ed Negro Bands Appear at Havana.

Havana, June 6.-Miaitary opera tions in the province of Oriente have been brought to & complete halt, on account of the apparent failure of General Menteagude's original plan of campaign, which cemprehended a sim ultaneeus advance into the insurgent territory of heavy columns of infantry accompanied by artillery and rural cavalry. The character of the region, which is mountainous, covered with heavy forests and destitute of practi- cal roads, appears to make such tac- ties impossible
 New Plan of Campaign.
 General Monteagudo now depends on reinforcing his regular organizations with plantation guards who have been released from duty by the arrival of American marines, especially in the vicinity of Guantanamo City, dividing his forces into smaller units and in ereasinE them by bodies of regular troops, mostly mounted .Ashe have been recruited in the province and are fem1liar with the scene of the oper- adens. This will involve considerable delay before the troops can be so dis posed as to compel the insurgents to accept combat.
 Armed Negro Bands at Havana.
 The feeling of apprehension in Ha- vana, which yesterday was somewhat allayed, was increased tonight by a persistent rumor of the appearance of bands of armed negroes in many places in the immediate vicinity of the capital. It was said that they had even penetrated within the lines of the outlying suburbs. Detachmens of the national police, armed with rifles, rushed to the outskirts of the city, but up to the present there is apparently no substantial cause for alarm.
 Loyal Citizens Arming.
 Throughout all parts of the island loyal citizens are arming and organ izing volunteer corps.

If the committee took the narrow view of keeping out com- petitor, it would react against them the banks largest customers, would rever stand for unjust discrimination"
 A Voluntary Association.
 T am not speaking of motives@ pursued the attorney "but of the un- bridled and unlicensed power of these men, Don't you think this power should be subject 10 judicial review and controlT
 MT. Sherrer then explained that ths clearing house association was voi- untary institution. similar to a private club, and that no court would hold that a voluntary institution could be compelled to accept as a member any- one who could not comply with It's regulations.
 Not So Bad ss lt Locks.
 But you know that this great pow CT exists; should 1t not be tudicially eontrolled?'
 T agree with you" finally conced- ed Mir. Sherrer. Where there is a wrong 1t should be corrected"
 And this mere whim. determina- - | tion or order, whatever you are tO call | it. to stop clearing for non-member banks-don't you think that that ls too great a power without judicial | review
 The witness again gave an affirma- tive answer but asserted that in the exercise of the power, 'it is not 80 | bad as 1t looks.' citing a recent in n- stance where the committees power was exercised to prevent an institution 1 whose officer were not of good char hcter," from obtaining membership | by buying out and merging with a clearing house bank.
 As to Good Character.
 Good character often depends upon which group of banks you belong Co, doesn't it?' queried Mr. UnterInyer
 "Oh, don't admit that said the witness.

U. S. RATTuEsHlPs.
Four of Them Expected to Arrive at
 Guantanamo Bay Today.

Guantanar1o Bay oday,
 Washington, June 6.-For the pres ent, at least the four battleships com prising the fourth division of the At lantic fleet, which are due to arrive in Guantanamo bay tomorrow with the gunboat Paducah, lying off Daiquiri. will constitute all the United States naval force to be assembled in Cuban waters.
 The state department today signifed that any change involving the sending of more ships to Cuba must follow un- expected developments in the situation,
 Secretary Knox had a long talk with Representative Sulzer, chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs, late today, especial attention being de- voted to the Cuban and Mexican sit- nations.
 The secretary told MT. Sulzer that the reports which had been given to the press regarding the Cuban insur- Tectdon embodied practically all the information which the department pos seSsed. He said further that no one at this moment could accurately fore cast the outcome of the instruction and 1t was felt that some time must elapse before its exact strength could Dc developed and an estimate be reached on the governments ability to control 1t.
 The present intention Is to keep the third division of the fleet at Key West so that there may be an adequate force within five hours sail of Havana to deal promptly with any serious out break. This precaution is deemed es- sential, not because the state depart ment has any direct information that an outbreak Is impending at Havana, but because much doubt exists as to the actual state of mind of the labor CTS in Cuba.
