To the number of 450 under command of Col- onel Lucas they came ashore today at Caimanera and proceeded by train to Guantanamo City. While it is officially declared that this action was taken golely to protect American and other foreign propertles the impression be- came general that it was a preliminary step to American intervention. This caused considerable excitement at the Despatched. Later it became known' that the landing Was In response to an urgent appeal to the commandant of the United States naval station by the chamber of commerce of Guantanamo to afford protection to the numerous forelgn estdtes in the veiinity which the government forces have been un- able effectively to guard. One hundred and twenty additional marines were despatched this eve- ning to Guantanamo and the Ameri- can force will probably be ample to safeguard the forelgn properties in that district. i Great Excitement at Havana. There was great excitement in Ha- vana this evening on the circulation of a report that four American bat- tleships were on their way from Key West. Towards evening the rumor was current that the ships had been slgnaled off Morro castle and were ex- rected to enter the harbor within an heur., The exoitement subsided om receipt of the news that the warships had been ordered to Guantanamo.

This was approved also by the house of representatives without opposition. The senate passed a bill authorizing President Gomez to expend $1,000,000 for increase of the armed forces from funds appropriated for other purposes. Assault Causes Woman's Death, Of the reports received from various parts of the Interior, alleging out- rages against white women by ne- groes, the great majority lack con- firmation. The reported outraging of the daughters of Perez Carbo, a prom- inent official of Santiago, horrifying detalls of which have been published, is authoritatively denied. The only authenticated case is that of a school mistress, who died in & hospital at Santiago later. The government is still without news of military operations in Orlente ex- cept small skirmisbes. STATEMENT BY GOMEZ. Says U. S. Troops Will Assist Cuba's Military Operations. Havana, June 5—President Gomez in a signed statement tonight says: “I would not have asked for foreign aid to dominate the racial insurgents, whose acts of vandalism make me dally more determined to crush them, but’ determined as the United States government is to protect properties nd lives of Americans by disembark- ing troops for this purpose solely, its action is of assistance to our military operations, as it permits me to utilize more troops for the pursuit of insur- gents fleeing before the regular troops and engaged in burning and sacking defenseless towns and’ committing ther excesses. intend to fill with guerillas all the territory in which exists an armed insurrection and to increase the pro- tection over properties which appear to bo the object of attack by the ne- groes in arms.” The president did not issue a decree suspending the constitutional guaran- tees in Oriente, but merely signed the law passed this afternoon, which will become effective on publication in the official gazette tomorrow morning.

The senator anmalyzed the evidence taken during the senate's second investiga- tion, contending that much evidence that was new and important had been developed. Senator Lorimer expressed the opinion that the debate on his case would continue several weeks. Several times he interrupted Senmator Kern's speech and gave close attention to the arraignment of himself by Mr. Kern. Occasionally during the day Mr. Lor- tmer falked and joked with Mr. Kern. A Painful Duty. Senator Kern declared that his duty of questioning Mr. Lorimer's right to his seat was particularly painful, be- cause Lorimer was a fellow senator from an adjacent state with pleasing versonality, pure private and ideal home life, a genial and kindly man. He s2id he was convinced of the absolute truth of the testimony of Clarence 5. Tunk, general manager of the Inter- national Harvester company, who had taken no interest in the senatorial election and had not the slightest per- sonal feeling against Senator Lorimer. The Illinois Jackpot, Discussing the existence of & jackpot in the Illinois legislature previous to 1909, Mr. Kern spoke of ex-Speaker Miller of the Iliinois legislature, who, he said, had died after exposing the presence of that fund. The reference urought Senator Lorimer to his feet with a question. Lorimer Asked Question. “Does the senator know,” the ac- cused senator asked, of the speaker, “that Governor Dineen and the news- paper combination that is prosecuting this case drove Miller to his death by their persecution?” Mr. Kern said he did mot know it, but that if true the fact would acoen- tuate his accusation that conditions at Springfleld were of a character to shock the conscience of the country.

New Haven, Conn., June 5.—Local detectives arrested tonight Clarence Johnson, who is wanted by the Nauga- tuck authorities for assaulting Maurice Enright, who died last night in a Wa- terbury hospital. It Is said that En- right and Johnson had had a fight, in which Enright had been kicked in the stomach. Enright was removed to the hospital, where it was found to be necessary to operate. Physicians sald, however, that Enright's condition was not directly due to injuries from a kick, though that might have aggra- vated it. Johnson disappeared after the fight, which occurred on Memorial day. He was found tonight in a livery stable in Commerce street. Naugatuck police authorities are expected here tomor- row to remove Johnson to that town. AN APPEAL TO REFRAIN \ FROM VIOLENCE ISSUED.
