Cuban Government Breaks Up Well Planned Insurrection
Havana, July 11.—Col. Jorge Valera, a Mulatto, and six other persons, most of them negroes, were arrested by the secret police today charged with conspiring to start an uprising against the government. The seven men were on their way to Vieja Bermeja, in the province of Matanzas, to which place a trunk containing arms and ammunition and dynamite had been shipped from Havana.
Letters and documents found on the prisoners, who have been brought to Havana, are believed to implicate many other persons in the conspiracy. The trunk was traced by the police officials to the medical school of the Havana university.
The janitor of that institution was arrested today and a large quantity of dynamite was found in his possession.
