GUARANTEES MAY BE SUSPENDED President Gomez Sends Message to Congress Asking CRUCIAL MOMENT ARRIVES He Is Determined to Quell Re bcllion Among the Havanna. June 3.?President Gomez ?. i j a message to Congress this after : oon requesting tin- passage of a law rmpnwerltig him to suspend tho con? stitutional guarantees, either through? out tho republic 01 in such portion of the island as ho may consider neces? sary. No action wus tjkcu in conse? quence Of the lack of a quorum, but tl e message was referred to a commit? tee. Hnd a special ses-?ion called for ? t-morrow to discuss the momentous rssure, which, it Is believed, marls tite crucial moment in dealing with t'le Insurrection. The President's action was taken in accordance with urgent recommen? dations of Genera'. Montengudo, the rnmntandcr-ln-chlef. now nt Santiago, during a long conference by telegraph. In which Monteogudo declared it Is absolutely necessary to suspend the guarantees to prevent co-opcratlon of nr^rn conspirators with those actual-, ly in arms. The general snys the scv , rest measures to strike terror into] the colored race are essential, nnd in- ; tends to pursue the rebels mercilessly' nnd deal summarily with all suspected of aiding the insurgents, should the] suspension of the guarantees be ati-j thorlzed. which nppc-ars practically] certain. 1 Permission. Xegrocs. Tin- r;r\t step llkelj will be recourse i'< ? rigorous policy of reconcentra-\ lion throughout Oriente t? prevent re-' i rnlts from Joining the insurgent col? umns, and also denuding tho country of the means of subsistence to the re bels and flitting off their sources of Informatlo nrcgarding movements of regular troops. "A grave disturbance of public als or<i.r. which threatens the peace of tie ration." according to resident Gomez, compelled him to request Congress to, pass a law authorizing him to suspend th( c-institutional guarantees. Ho fur? ther points out the necessity of put tlng an end to the armed Insurrec? tion to avoid the danger of foreign v implications. The Dominican General .Victortano l.< per. arrived to-day at Havana from Jiuerio F'lata. He and his companions were Immediately arrested an sus? picion that they Intended to aid the Insurgents. General Mer.dlcta reports skirmish? ing recently around Da Gloria, where there are upwards of 2.C00 rebels. At l.'atlllo there are about 1.000 rt belt, with ?tili another corps of SC-0 not far tiftant. Skirmishing continue? in the region between San Luis. Guantanamo ;i!:d Santiago, but no important results have b?en achieved. General Montea gudo evidently Is not yet prepared for ii general forward decisive movement.! although he Insists that he dos not jieed further relnfcrcemerits. I There doe not seem to be any prob? ability of serious lighting in the next 1< w days, but the new* of the Presi? dent's request for permission to sus I tnd the constitutional t ii?ra#tei.? has ? auJed a profound sensation as indica? tive of the extreme gravity of the sit? uation In Santiago conditions appear IG be growing hourly more critical. At Havana there Is a feeling of grave ap? prehension, the result of persistent rumors of a possible negro uprising. Many American? in Ilnvjn province are taking refuce in the capital. Kxrept in Oriente, o'tder prevails, but it is known that th< re are. .?mal! parties of insurgents roaming about In Ran to ciara province. Additional gov? ernment reinforcements have been sent In in Santiago to guard the mines at 1 'olqulrl.

The one Institution Wiiich ought to be the home of liberal thought was bolng throttled in this enlightened age, said Mr. Miner. Teachers were not ullowed to express th>oir opinions. Then he had some things to say about the St.a,- Board of Education. Tho city pays $292,500 the year to the schools, and the State $44,000, yot tho State board runs tlio schools. This body iiioi seen lit to elect n city super? intendent because ho was a graduate of some big college.

"There is where nli this school trou? ble begin In Richmond," he said. All other things have been U'o outgrowth of this election of a superintendent, because the people look upon all Inno? vations as another underground move. "Now, we can take our medicine, as wo have been doing for some time, if 'the City School Hoard and the City School Superintendent will retire and allow the people to select their suc? cessors, all differences will be healed. "I am afraid that the schools as conducted will turn nut more nervous Wrecks than good and useful people. There Is too much filigree work. In I chiding high kicking.

Resolved, further, That a .copy of these resolutions be sent to the clerk of the. Council, clerk of the Commit? tee on Streets and bo published In tho newspapers of tho city.
