SEND TROOPS TO SANTA CLARA

Government “Is Said to Have Purchased Newspapers’ Silence. In consequence of the negro agitation in the island of Cuba, 800* troops, including seventy-live rurales, have embarked for Santa Clara. The secretary of government says . the despatch of the troops was not due to any agitation, but was according to the government’s policy to impress the people with its power. There are no fresh reports of a negro uprising, but there is every evidence that the government has purchased the silence of the newspapers.
