President San Martin told his strongest opponents that he will not resign as demanded. Strikes continue to spread. New revolts are reported. American women living at San- tiago have been removed to shelter at Puerta Delsal across the bay,| due to disturbed conditions. Soldiers today began digging a trench to shut off the water sup- ply to the National Hotel where 500 officers are quartered defying the present Government to return to duty. Guns Trained on Hotel Machine guns and field artillery pieces and other weapons are trained on the hotel by the San Martin soldiers. Seventeen followers of the re- bellious Capt. Fernando Aran have been arrested and are in the Ha-| vana fortress awaiting trial. They | were brought here from Pinar Del | Rio Province where it is said the| revolt against the San Martin Government started. Four Surrender Capt. Aran and three of his lieutenants were not arrested 2as they surrendered on condition that punishment be limited to resigna- tion from the army.

Welles said the Directorate ex- pressed approval of the program of San Martin and Welles left the conference apparently weil pleased. He denied rumors he was protecting the Army and Navy of- ficers in the National Hotel. Welles | is quoted as aying there will be no American intervention although! Marines may be landed if the lives| and property of Americans are menaced. FACING FAILURE HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 16—One newspaper frankly called upon the new Government to recognize the lack of popular warmth for it, as the regime faced armed outbreaks| in neighboring Provinces. The newspaper declared all com- mercial activity in the country was paralyzed and national credit would suffer and unless “we rec- tify the situation totally the Gov- ernment will fall through a pro- , cess of asphyxiation.” 'FAMOUS INDIAN TOTEM CARVER BURIED TODAY, Funeral .services were held at the Russian Orthodox Church at 1 o'clock this afternoon for Nich- olas Rudolph, well known Indian totem carver, who died at the gov- ernment, hospital from hardening of the arteries, on Thursday.
