CUBA FIGHTS MADLYTO PUT 001 REBELS 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- Continued on Page. Two.

The Atlanta Georgian Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results PLOTTERS 01 1108'5 LIFE MEO II 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 EXTRA PL?

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
