At the Fort Wayne address, which he furnished, no one knew of the LeMay family. LeMay had started to fifiht with the -axi driver, when searching through his pockets he was unable

to find some $00 that he had placed there earlier in the evening. Later he declared that he had been mistaken and found the money. He told the court that for the last five years he had been "down and out" and that just last week he had Rot on his feet and had decided to go to Chicago to brinp; his wife back with him.

State Department Does Not Expect American Intervention Will Be Necessary.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Reports of progress by Pres't Menocal's forces against insurgent bands in Cuba increased the hopes of administration officials Monday that peace may be re-established in the island without American intervention. It has been made plain that the full moral support of the United States government will be given the Menocal adm.nistration and it was said late Monday that no additional steps were in contemplation for the present. Orestes Ferrara and Ilaimundo Cabrera, spokesmen for the Liberal party, ar? here to represent the rebels before the state department, but it was said at Sec'y Lansing's office that no effort had been made by them so far to see any one connected with the government. It was intimated that they would not be received as representatives of the rebels, and that in the present situation little t-onsideruion would be given any representations they might make. An agreement between the American naval commander at Santiago and the rebel governor to keep out of the harbor all but foreign vessels was explained as an expedient designed to prevent the closing of the port. The rebel government agreed not to mine the channel in return for the naval commander's prom

ise to se that Cuban government boats do not enter. The relels appeared to have made no marked progress, according to today's o:ficial reports, which added that some of the regular army which had gone over to the revolutionary party in the earlier days of the revoR, had rejoined the government forces.
