GOMEZ PERMITS MARIHESTO LAND Telegraphs Thai Amsricans May Guard Foreign Property. GUNBOAT PADUCAH AT DAIQUIRI Plant of Spar.ish-Amerlcan Iron Com pany Attacked Engagement Near Santiago Federal Artillery Used Against the Rebels With Effect. Havana. June 1. President Gomez telegraphed t;'neiul Monuuyuedo, the -commander in thiei 01 the Cuban army, who is ut the scene of the hos tilities in the province of Oriente, stating that the general might permit American marines to land on Cuban soil to guard foreign property. Ti.e dispatch added that the Cuban forces then might retire from guard ing such places and devote themselves to pursuing the insurgents. Interest in Havana centered on the question whether the United States gunboat Paducah would land marines at Daiquiri to protect the property of the Spanish-American Iron company. It overshadowed completely all the re ported occurrences from the theater ot hostilities. The American legation received ad vices from Daiquiri that the plant ot the iron company had been attacked, but that its assailants were held In check by forty guards, who later were reinforced by 100 other men. This combined force drove off the Insur gents and on the arrival of the Padu cah the fighting was over. There was great excitement in Ha vana when several newspapers Issued extra editions announcing that a bat tle had taken place not far from San tiago, in which many rebels were killed by the fire of the Cuban artil lery. The government said there had been no battle, but that a collision had taken place between national and rebel forces, in which the former's ar tillery was brought into play appar ently with effect. The extent of the casualties were announced as un known. A rumor was current In Havana that the negroes in the capital intend to rise, but apparently there was no basis for It and no extarordlnary po lice protection was ordered.
