THE FUTURE OF CUBA
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUMORS OF REBELLION. HAVANA, August 22. There are ominous reports to the effect that Gomez, an ex-candidate for the Presidency of Cuba, is heading a rebellion which has already begun. If the reports are confirmed it is expected that the United States willj intervene, and possibly take a direct part in ruling Cuba. [The United States intervened in the affairs of Cuba ostensibly to free +he islanders from the misgovernment of Spain. President M'Kinley at the outbreak of the war disclaimed any intention of the annexation of Cuba. The island would be given self-government in the fullest sense. Subsequently the United States Congress passed a law authorising the President to make over the government of the island to the Cuban people subject to certain conditions, which were accepted by the Cubans, la 1902 the President, Vice-President, Senate, and House of Representatives were elected. The United States reserved a right of intervention should necessity demand.] GOMEZ ARRESTED. HAVANA, August 22. (Received August 23, at 8.50 a.m.) Six hundred and ten arrests were made in Havana. Gomez was arrested at his country scat. The troops repulsed several bands of rebels with slight losses.
