"The negro Insurgents especially In sisted on retaining their arms until peace was assured. Zayas' report I* Indicative of future trouble with the lawless element of the rebels. I feel certain that a settlement of the trouble Is possible only along the lines sug gested by us." No Foolishness Allowed.
