President Makes Desperate
Stand to Save Country From
Occupation by U. S.
HAVANA, May 27. In the endeavor
to save the Cuban republic from in
tervention by the United States. Presi
dent Gomez is today making frenzied
efforts to put down the negro uprising
before United States military forces are
landed in what every Cuban believes
would be the final occupation of the is
land by the great republic.
Five thousand troops are in the field
under orders to give decisive battle to
the rebellious negroes at the earliest
possible moment and to give no quar
ter. Negroes will be treated with the
greatest severity; prisoners of war will
be shot as traitors.
Three thousand men in Oriente prov
ince, under the command of Montea
gudo, federal commander-in-chiqf, are
in motion against the principal rebel
detachment under Generals Estenoz
and Ivonot. The government army
hopes to force the horde of rebels into
a battle within 48 hours.
Arms Issued to
Private Citizens.
Continued depredations are reported.
Tl’.e greatest number are in Santiago
.tml • •rlente provinces, where the rebels
strongest. In those provinces plan
tar ii owners are marshaling their em
ployees and arming them. The govern
ment is supplying free of charge arms
and ammuni'ion for private citizens.
By government decree all civilians are
empowered to take up arms against the
mr.ramie s and no act of violence
against the negroes w ill be questioned
hereafter.
From Holguin in Santiago it is re
ported that negroes attacked the village
of Saoar ' ba. north of there, burning
numbe'pof houses and carrying off a
number of women. A small guard of
rurales has been rushed north from
Holguin on a branch line of the Cuba
railroad to pursue the negroes and res
cue the prisoners.
The negroes are carrying off dyna
mite from mining companies in Cama
guey province. In many instances
w here such seizures have been made
receipts have been given to be paid by
the provisional government of which
Estonez has declared himself president.
Many Rebels Armed
Only With Machetes.
The chief results from the rebel raids
have been seizures of money, guns and
horses. Many of the negroes went into
the field armed only with machetes.
These have proved poor weapons in
brushes against rurales. armed with
carbines and revolvers.
Traffic on the main line of the Cuba
railroad between Havana and its east
erly terminus at Santiago is interrupt
ed at a half a dozen different places,
where the negroes have burned bridges
or blown up the tracks to prevent the
advance of troop trains into Santiago
province.
The extreme northeastern port of
Earacoa is being closely watched, to
guard against the landing of filibusters.
The government has learned that Hai-

ITALY
———
Wholesale Arrests of Anarch
ists, Alleged Conspirators,
Being Made.
ROME. May 27. —Wholesale arrests
are being made throughout Italy today
as the result of the discovery of a plot
to assassinate King Victor Emmanuel
of Italy. The discovery of the plot fol
lowed admissions made by Antonio
d’Alba, the young anarchist who tried
to shoot King Victor Emmanuel sev
eral months ago. A number of alleged
conspirators already have been taken
Into custody at Milan. Naples. Rome
and Bologna At least three self-con
fessed ana.chists are said to have been
arrested here. The authorities will
give no information relative to the
scope of the cabal, nor will they admit
how many arrests have been made.
It is believed that the authorities
have been investigating the ramifica
tions of the plot for some time. Afler
d'Alba was arrested in Rome charged
with attempted assassination lie clung
to the story that he was alone in the
matter.
Police Quiet To
Avoid Suspicion.
There were rumors of various sorts.
One of thes» was that d'Alba was in
the pay of Turkey and had been elected
by an anarchist society to kill th? king.
The belief most generally accepted at
I the time, however, was that d'A ba had
i gone insane through reading accounts
i of Italians killed in the war .with Tur
‘ key.
That the police have delayed making
’ invests until the last minute so as not
to arouse suspicion and hinder their in
, vestigations is evident. Lt is known
i that many other arrests will be made.
In the meantime King Victor expos?
> himself as little as possible and when
he appears in public is escorted by a
strong guard, while secret service
agents mingle with the crowds.

WATSON BEGINS WAR;
FELDER HITS HIN HARD;
GREAT BATTLE NOW ON
The Sage of McDuffie, Aroused by
“Unwarranted” Caucus, Says He’s Out
to Beat City Politicians to a Finish
and Issues Call to His Legion.
Felder Accepts the Challenge and Promises a
Rare Old Fight With the “Red-Headed Per
son” Beaten to an “Everlasting, Complete
and Ultimate Frazzle.”
Thomas E. Watson today declared war uncompromising
against the ‘‘city politicians,” and will undertake to dominate the
slate Democratic convention completely through the country coun
ties.
In issuing his defiance from Thomson. Watson centered his
•fire upon Thomas B. Eelder, of the Fifth district, and make the
indorsement of Felder by the Fifth district for delegate at large
his immediate and controlling reason for inviting a bitter fight on
the floor of the convention.
Felder unhesitatingly and vigorously accepted Watson's broad
and specific challenge, and said Watson shall have a fight, and a
real one.
This joining of the issue between Watson and Felder, in spite
of all overtures for peace made last week, undoubtedly means a
big fight for control on May 29 on the floor of the Democratic con
vention in Atlanta.
Both Watson and Felder are confident of winning.
THOMSON, GA., May 27.—Thomas
E Watson Is going to Atlanta tomor
row, looking for a fight, and specifically
inviting it.
The “red-headed person" who hails
from the grand old county of McDuffie
today annijuneed b|s abiding determi
nation to run the state convention his
way, or run ft into the ground—or
somewhere.
He once again reads the riot act to
the "city politicians." declares that his
enemies are undertaking to “hog" the
whole show, throws a big bomb in the
direction of Thomas B. Felder, of At
lanta. and winds up by announcing his
purpose to "hog" the show himself
Whatever there was of white-winged
peace in the atmosphere political, so
far as Watson was concerned —and
there was much of that as far back as
Friday last —has been utterly dispelled.
The secret caucus of the Fifth con
gressional district delegates in Atlanta
Saturday was the straw that broke the
camel’s back
Watson Promises Fight
To the Finish.
And now It is to be a fight to a
finish, says Watson.
The state convention must yield to
certain demands that Watson will make
and that he thinks fair, just and right,
or it must cast Watson out completely
and travel without him.
There Is to be no compromise—the
state convention must be frankly pro-
Watson or anti-Watson. That is Wat
son's "ultimatum.”
It not only means the Watson or
anti-Watson coloring of the delegation
to the national convention in Balti
more, but it likely will cut far into
state politics, and profoundly affect the

forthcoming gubernatorial campaign.
As late as Saturday morning. Mr>
Watson said: "I am not going to At-*
lanta with a chip on my shoulder, spoil<
i ing for a fight. I am assuming that
- the Underwood politicians of the big
cities mean to give me a square deal. I
have been assured, with emphasis, that
such is their purpose. Until I see con
crete evidence that they do not intend
doing that, J shall not be the aggressof
in trouble.”
Atlanta Caucus
a “Rank Injustice.’’
Today Mr. Watson sees—or thinks h<»
sees, which means the same thing td
Watson—that very concrete evidence,
and the sight by no means surprised
him.
He said:
"The action of the secret caucus held
in Atlanta Saturday was a rank injus
tice upon Walton. Rockdale, Clayton
and Campbell counties.”
“Both Fulton and DeKalb counties*,
went for Wilson, yet those two counties
not only 'hog' a majority of the dls
rtict delegates, but also arrogate to
themselves in advance of the conven
tion the right to dictate one of the dele
gates-at-large.
“The Fifth district caucus was ille
gally called, and Its action is null and
void. Nobody had any right to call
that caucus in advance of the assent-,
hlage of delegates from all the counties
Wednesday. I advise the delegates
from all the counties of the Fifth dis
trict to assemble on the night of May>
28. after my conference at the Kim
ball.
'Those delegates have the right and
should exercise it to agree upon the
district delegates and also delegatee for
