REPUBLIC OT CUBA

' HOW BESTS UNEASY Government Is Panic-stricken Over Situation Revolution Is Feared.

Havana, July 24 Not eiuce the reestablishment of the Cuban republic have thers exUtcd ttuch peculiar political conditions as Lave prevailed for the past few weeks conditions fraught with rreat unreBt.and much peril to the stability -of the republic, and yet apparently; not assignable to any specific source othetthan the nervous tendency of the Cuban people to yield t oalarm on Insufficient provocation. This tendency has been stimplated la the present instance by the action dt the Government in making ostentatious military preparations for defense and Industrial In expresHinns of Its determination to crush mercilessly any attempt at revolution at a time when It was apparent that from one end of the Island to the other there was not visible- the faintest symptoms of any tendency to disorder. The result of this policy on the part of President Oomez and his advisers has had an unhappy effect. Already confidence in the Government has been shaken and the administration has alienated many of its supporters. Newspaper Leads Attack. The immediate provocation of this st.at of affairs was the initiation of attacks on the administration by the newspaper Kl Ola, founded for this express purpose by Congressman Armand Andre, wherein It was charged that the President and hia entourage had accumulated vast sums by distributing enormously valuable concessions among foreign corporations and political friends of the administration. The attacks continued so persistent that the President Issued a public Statement giving what purported to be an inventory of his estate, which appeared to be of but moderate dimensions. Eventually the Government assumed an attitude of defiance. The city was thrown into semi-panic by the sudden call to arms of the garrison of Castle La Fuerza and the surrounding palace soon after midnight by rural guards, artillery and Infantry. According to the palace the movement was merely for the purpose of determining how rapidly the troops could be turned out in an emergency, but this explanation was received with Dpen Incredulity. It was openly declared that the administration was panic-stricken, but for what cause no one could hazard a guess. Adds Fuel to Flame. Then General Machado, Secretary of :he Interior, who also discharges the functions of Secretary of War.Jssled a statement denouncing the critics of the President, who he declared was first and foremost a soldier who would not flinch from shedding blood, making the astonishing declaration that even should 00 per cent of the Cubans oppose! the President's administration they would he crushed without mercy. This utterance served to renew an,d In-

flame the attacks of the anti-administration press. Added to these elements of unrest has been a renewal of the agitation regarding the succession to the Presidency. Despite General Gomez'z reiteration that he would never accept a renomination, many of his supporters continue to campaign actively in his behalf and re-electionist clubs are being formed. There is no reason to believe that Vice President Zayaa has the least idea of renouncing his claims to the nomination which was accorded him in the last campaign as the price of the support of his faction in the election of General Gomez. Still another probable candidate for the presidency, whose popularity in the Liberal ranks is high, is General Carlos Garcia Velez, the special ambassador at the coronation in London, who is now on his way home, and who is sure to take an active part in affairs.

CONDEMNATION SUIT To Acquire Land Filed by the C. & O. Railway.

Condemnation proceedings to acquire twenty-eight and eight-hun-dredths acres in Poston township for use of division yards, switches, turn tables, shops, coaling stations andther railroad uses were instituted in the Wayne circuit court on Monday by attorneys for the C & O. railway of Indiana. The action is directed against John F., Hannah C, Walter W., Pearl, Selma, Marietta and Murray M. Seaney; Andrew B., James L.( and Everett Burkett, and Ira Swisher, owners of the land desired by the company. It is understood that the company offered approximately a hundred dollars an acre for the property desired but these offers were refused. The company has determined on this location for Its yards, shops, coaling station, etc., since it could not have the desired location here in the Beallvlew addition. Appraisers will be appointed by Judge Fox of the

circuit court who will fix the value of the land. Unless their report is satisfactory the defendants may carry the action to court and have a trial. Ira Swisher is made a defendant inasmuch as he holds a lien against the interest of one of the other defendants in the property. Robbins and Robbins and general counsel for the road, II. C. Starr, are attorneys in the litigation.
