ity to either life or property in the isl
and until it is annexed by the United
States. The Palma administration
asserts that it is able to suppress the
insurrection but cannot protect for
| oign property.
Gen. Guerrera. the rebel leader, has
! 5000 men in his command and the
• number is steadily increasing. In the
conferences with leaders of all factions

gerous rioting occurs. Palma is ad
vised that if destruction ot American
property is seriously threatened the
j United States government will be
j obliged under the provisions ot the
i’latt amendment to interfere to re
store order.

, sake of the maintenance of order and
