that from 500 to 500 men are in

were declared untrue by government
officials today, as was also the an
nouncement credited to Gustave Gu
tierrez, secretary of the Veterans
and Patriots Association at New
York, that a battle took place re-
Gently near Cienfuegos, each side
having about 200 men.
While information as to the exact
number of troops sent to the scene
of the operations is withehld it is
said that Cuba has 10000 men in the
standing army, including about 5000
members of the rural guard, which
is a part of the army and is used
whenever necessary.
The government is negotiating with
Washington for the purchase of war
material from the United States gov

planes were on the way here. No
details were given out, but at the
War Department the information was
vouchsafed that negotiations have
been opened with private firms in the
United States for the purchase of air
planes.
Announcement was made that news
dispatches from the scene of the re-
volt are being supervised to prevent
misleading statements and the dis
closure of military secrets. BY both
the government side and Mario Gar
cia velez the belief is held that Fed
erico Laredo Bru. prominent lawyer
of Cienfuegos and veteran of the Gu
ban war of independence, is in COM
mand of the rebellious forces around
Cienfuegos.
Senior Velez, who with four other
members of the Veterans and Pa
triots' Association is in Jail here,
made a statement today that the out
break was not ordered by the heads
of the organization, as, had been
charged, but was started by impa-
tient members who grew tired of de-
lay in their campaign against alleged
evils of the zayas administration.
The United States cruiser Cleve-
land, which came into port here We'd

she was to stay ten days or two
weeks to give officers and men shore
leave.
The Cleveland will act as radio relay
