clareS Welles Is plotting new blood
shed for Cuba, through the use OF
the A.B.C. and Machadista remnants.
On Dec. 2 in leading editorial, Alma
Mater declared:
New civil wars are being Matched
in the laboratory Of the American
embassy, and when they take place,
the government and the opposition
will mutually blame one another OF
having provoked them; meanwhile
the elegant diplomat will wash his
hands, like PLATE Of a new sort, OF
all blame of blooshed." s.
While this is an attack on Welles,
it is, at the same time, feeler to
the other bourgeois groups to make
the coalition over the head Of Welles,
but suitable to Roosevelt and any
other representative he may send,
not quite SO quickly tarred with open
maneuverings of Wall STREET.
The English language imperialist
press in Havana, supporting Welles'
maneuvers, was enthusiastic over
Granero's action in stopping our meet
ing. The Dec. issue had as its
main headline, the following: anti

bitterly. While declaring they dis
agree with the tactics of the Anti
Imperialist League, they must recog-
nize that the Anti-Imperialist League
in the United States is carrying on a
revolutionary struggle against Yankee
imperialism and in support Of the
Cuban masses.
Major Granero, military command
ant of Santa Clara Province, made it
a special point to write a letter to
all Havana newspapers stating he was
in Havana at the time of the Santa
Clara incident. To this, the antrim
perialist delegation replied, it was a
technical matter. Granero's subor-
dinates were acting in his name. And
besides, we told him, we were informed
that there were telephones between
Havana and Santa Clara. While we
were detained by the military in Santa
Clara, the telephones were used fire.

a united front meeting called by the

was stormily applauded when it raised

Peasants Win Low Rent
Santa Clara is sugar and tobacco
growing district. In Janaguela, 5000
peasants struck against the landlords,
demanding the abrogation of the land
contracts. They won a collective
agreement, prohibiting the eviction of
a single tenant farmer; they lowered
the rents. Besides, they raised the
revolutionary slogan Of seizure Of the
land, workers and farmers govern

Intriguing With Banker
In Havana, Wall Street is carrying
on intricate maneuvers to fasten a
regime favorable to the American
bankers and exploiters on the Cuban
people. At first Welles was reported
to have returned temporarily. Now
the news is he is determined to stay
until he has solved the Cuban ques-
ton" He maneuvers with all Of the
bourgeois factions, including TIL e
Grau-Batista regime. His main OBJ
jective is to set up coalition gov
eminent of the various bourgeois
groups, with Welles, or some other
Wall Street representative as the de-
cisive voice. The Grau regime Is not
opposed to this, but demands big
share in the government, which
Welles is not willing to grant, be-
cause he fears the demagogy Of Grau
as well as his inability to suppress
the revolutionary masses. Graus
supporters change their tone towards
Welles, according to the concessions
Welles is willing to grant them.
Recently they have become sharper
against Welles, hoping by this pres
sure to have him recognize them as
the most important force Of the Gu
ban landlord bourgeoisie.

Spain Orders Out
Troops Against

Workers and Peasants
Opposing Drive for
Fascist Regime
By Burck

MADRID, Spain, Dec. g. The

units and civil guards as the left
republican government ordered a
state of siege throughout Spain In
fear of revolutionary uprising by
the toiling masses, whose resentment
is rapidly mounting against the
fraudulent returns of last Sundays
election, giving the fascists full con-
troll in the new Spanish Cortes.
The armed preparations to crush
the resistance of the masses to the
attempt OF the bourgeoisie to inau-
gurate a fascist regime are supported
by the three Socialist Ministers in
the Metropolitan government, who
with the Socialist deputies in the old
Cortes, paved the way for fascism by
their support of the brutal attacks
of the government against the work
ers and peasants and their organiza-
tons.
Former Premier Alexandra Lerroux
is being groomed to head the fascist
dictatorship against the toiling mas
ses.
Reports spread through Madrid TO-
day that the rank and file of two
regiments of the regular army were
in sympathy with the indignant
masses. The protest strike called by
several unions is taking on the pro-
portions of q general political strike.
Yesterday the cooks and chamber
maids in Madrid hotels joined the
strike 100 per cent.
Troops have been stationed at
strategic points in the city, while
several regiments have been rushed
to other cities where the government
says an uprising is expected.

NEW YORK, September 16-The
relatively unfavorable action of rail-

due in part to the expiration of the

"Although earnings of the railroads

discloses that the actual decline will
be relatively insignificant. measured
against the improvement that has &C
tually taken place since last March.
Carrier revenues in the aggregate
benefited to the extent of $63,730, ,799,
or l u per cent of total gross revenues,
as a result Of surcharges credited In
the calendar year 1882. Because of
the widespread reductions in basic
rates which the railroads were forced
to make after the surcharges became
effective. however, average ton-mile
revenue for the full year 1882, includ-
ing such increases. was smaller than
average ton-mile revenue for 1881.
Since surcharges could not be re-
moved, reductions in basic rates were
necessitated by competitive conditions.
The railroads have not petitioned for
another renewal of the surcharges, but
instead have filed several hundred new
tariffs with the Interstate Commerce
Commission providing for increases in
basic rates. which should go a long
way toward compensating for the re-
ductions caused by the elimination of
the emergency increase"
