REBEL LEADER
President Palma Cares for Re* i
mains of Gen. Bandera. Killed
by Cuban Guards.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Havana. Aug. 24 The body of the
I famous (Ten. Bandera, who was killed
in battle with rural guards yesterday
while leading an insurrectionary force,
arrived in the city today. Because of
i the former friendship Iw'tween the two
I President Palma decided that he
would personally bear all funeral ex*
! |>enses of the dead soldier.
The entire statT of the late (Ten.
Maxime Gomez, who commanded the
t uban war of independence, have |
offered their services in the present j
crisis to the Cuban government to aid !
in putting down the insurrection. A
battle is expected any day in the pro
vince of Santa Clara.
Takes War Supplies to Cuba
New York, Aug. 24-The steamer
Ksperanza sailed today for f uba carry
ing a complete field battery for the
Cuban government.
5avs Cuba Can Stop Rebellion
Havana, Aug. 2! Gen. Rodriguez,
commander of the rural guards, says
the government has no need of help
from the Cnited States to preserve
| order in Cuba. He asserts that the
importance of the revolution has been
j exaggerated.
The insurrectionists still hold the
city of San Luis and it is reported that
the city of Agucate lias declared open
j revolt against the government. The
province of Santa Clara has revolted
j and government troops are preparing
j to take the field. Confidence in suc
j eessful outcome i> professed by the
government.

Cuban Scheme for Revolution
Havana. Aug. 20 The government
learned today of a revolutionary plot
to overthrow the government which
included the assassination of President
Palma. Six prominent leaders of the
! liberal party were arrested for con
spiracy, including General Carlos
Velez, his brother Fausto Velez, form
erly consul at Bremen. ex-Senator
' Montaguedo. Col. Manuel Piedra.
! leader of the liberal party in the house
I of representatives, Gen. Castillo.
| formerly member of congress.
Great excitement prevails in the
! city and troops were ordered out to be
ready for any emergency in case of an
attempted uprising.
Cuban Tronble (irows Serious
Havana. Aug. 21 The Cuban gov
ernment believes that the revolution
ists in the tield now number about 12tK»
! but that the number is likely to in
crease rapidly. The administration
r.iay a-k the I'nited States to inter
vene under the provisions of the Platt
amendment to the independence trea
ty. which reserves the right whenever
nece-san to maintain order and stable
government in the island republic, it
is thought probable that the l nited
States may intervene without a re
i quest from the Cuban government.
President Palma today appointed!
Gen. Montalvo to command military!
operations against the insurgents, and i
j the rural guard was increased to 4000 j
j men in the tield.
The first battle was fought yesterday j
when Lieut. Roigueof the rural guards
with a small force encountered 100 in-;
-argents near Guanajuay. At the first
volley Roigue fell and two insurgents
were killed. The insurgents retired.
