BE VOLUTION IX CUBA
TWO SKIRMISHES WITH REBEL
BANDS IN PINAR DEL RIO.
More Leaders Arrested for Plotting
to Overthrow the Government Pres
ident Palma Takes Energetic Steps
to Curb Seditious Spirits.
Havana, Aug. 21. The Increasing
uneasiness over Insurrectionary mani
festations In the western part of Cuba
were quieted to a slight degree by a
'lecreo of President Palma nmolntlni
General Rafael Montalvo to he In li-
root charge of all military operations I
ngnlnst tho Insurgents. President I
Palma also decreed the Increase of 1
the rural guards to 1,000. Many men
who served as officers In I he Cuban
rivo'utlons nguhiKt Spain visited or 1
UI( graphed lo President Palma ten-1
deling him their services for tho sup
pi esslon of the Insurrection.
Tho first death resulting from the
Insurrection occurred near CJuunnJay.
While Governor Nunez was automobil
ing he overtook a detachment of
twenty rural guards, who were fob
lowing the trail of the Insurrectionary I
leader, Pandoras. Governor Nunez 1
joined the party and with It went
some distance off tho mnln road, when
suddenly "no of tho Pandoras bands
was encountered. In a rapid exchange
of shots which ensued, Lieutenant
Gregorlo Iloquc, tho commnnder or
tho rural guards, was killed. Tho
band escaped, dragging with them two
of their men, who are believed to have
been mortally wounded.
Hoth the government and tho West
ern rnilway telegraph wires were cut
between Consolaclon del Sur and
PInar del Hlo.
A special train took 100 rural guards
from Sanla Clara and fifty artillery
men from Havana to PInar Del Rio.
Not even the railroad officials have
been Informed or tho precise point of
disembarkation of ihrso forces.
Numberless rumors are afloat of
fighting in the western part of the
province of Havana, but the only facts
that have materialized nro that Pan
doras' band, which has been increased
to seventy, while proceeding near tho
railroad between Guanajay and San
Antonio do Los Lanos, encountered
eight rural guards, who immediately
sin rendered, were disarmed and let
e- '.mult nuiuiier nanus nave gone
out in tnat vicinity and probably wlh
concentrated with Hunderas' force
The latter has attacked and rilled
Mures and stolen mules and horses at
pleasure. The band stopped one rail
way train and shot at an automobile.
Many revolutionists are reported to
linve left Guanajay, including Colonel
Llaneras, who was captured with a
negro companion and a coach loaded
with arms, ammunition, medicines and
twenty ninchetes.
Conservative estimates place tho
number of tho Insurrectionists nt from
1,000 to 1,200.
Several more arrests were made In
Havana of persons suspected of aiding
tho insurrection. Some small quan
tities of arms and ammunition have
been seized.
TJie mayor of Consolaclon del Sur
has been suspended on suspicion of
nsslsting the insurgents and other of
ficials are suspected. A conspiracy
has been discovered at Matanzas and
tho authorities are In possession of a
llsi of names of those alleged to be
connected with the plot, soveral of
whom havo been arrested.
There is considerable discussion ab
to whether, in the event of Cuba being
unable to suppress the Insurrection,
sl'o should ask the Tutted Stales for
assistance or whether tho Unltod
States may not Intervene under tho
terms of tho Platt amendment without

VALPAR AISO IN RUINS
DETAILS OF THE DESTRUCTION
WROUGHT BY EARTHQUAKE.
Every Building In Valparaiso is Dam
aged and City is Described as Un
inhabitable Troops Shoot Dcw.i
Looters in the Streets.
New York, Aug.. 21. The
quakes In Chile have ceased,
earth
the re-
sultnnt llres have been extinguished
und people of tho two cities, Val
paraiso and Santiago, are taking or-
ganlzcd steps to relieve suffering, caru
for tho wounded and bury the dead,
The period of succor hns ended. Dis
patches received from Chile tend to
show that the first estimates of cas
ualties and material damage had been
greatly exaggerated and that the peo
pie of Valparaiso are becoming calm
er. Tho fear of further shocks has
been removed by a statement Issued
from the observatory and It became
possible for the first time to organize
relief work and begin a systematic
Heard, of tho ruins for the dead.
Santiago is coming to tho rescue of
her suffering sister. Public subscrip
.tlons havo been opened for money,
clothing and provisions and the capital
is caring for all refugees from Val
paraiso who make their way across
the mountains. Tho government is
putting down pillage wherever it
breaks out with troops.
It Is still Impossible to reach any
correct osllmuto of the dead and In
jured. The reports from Chile are
most, contl.ictlng. A largo section
of tho country, however, was visited
by tho catastrophe of last Thursday
and cabled estimates of casualties
refer in some instances to particular
localities, notably Valparaiso, and in
others evidently to the entire district
which suffered fioin the shock. The
number of dead in Valparaiso doubt
less will run Into the hundreds and
for the entire country probably Into
the thousands. The property damage
is estimated at from $2ou,000,uu0 to
?aoo,ooo,ooo.
Famine Perils Homeless.
Chile will ask its congress for
money for the reconstruction of Val
paraiso. Those engaged In seeking
relatives and friends, in erecting or
perfecting temporary outdoor quarters
ngainst the cold and in getting food
supplies, are helping each other. Food
und water are both very scarce, and
at this Juncture many merchants havo
made material advances in the prices
of provisions.
Tho remoter districts hnvo not yet
been heard from and efforts nro being
made to establish commjmiculion,
either by wire or couriers, with the
provinces.
The statement Is made that every
building in Valparaiso has been dam
aped and the city has been described
as "uninhabitable." The Almendral
quarter and tho principal streets are
nun heaps of ruins. The people still
throng the surrounding hills and sea

i The English firms located at Val
paraiso do not appear to have sus
tained heavy loss, and It does not ap
pear that any foreigners have hoon

Santiago Escapes Big Disaster.
Santiago suffered much less than
Valparaiso. Tho nuinher of dead in
Santiago Is reported at twenty. A
local rollef committee hint been organ
ized, tho stn ct cars havo resumed run
ning and th' normal aspect of tho city
is rapidly returning. Itelugeos from
Valparaiso are coming in In greater
number every hour. Tho rnilronds are
not yet In operntlon. It Is reported
that six or eight towns In the stricken
districts hnvo boon destroyed, hut de
tails are still lacking. Vina del Mar,
whion Is a suburb of Valparaiso, la de
seilbed as almost enlhely in ruins.
There are fifty dead and fifteen

the Aniagada district collapsed. In
addition to towns previously men

it may need.
REGULAR WAR IN THE CAUCASUS
Both Tartars and Russian Troops Suf
fer Heavy Losses. I
SL Petersburg, Aug. 21. Advices
received here from the southwestern
section of the Caucasus show that tho
fighting In the districts bordering on
the Persian frontier has now assumed ,
the dignity of a regular war, with
dally engagements, resulting in heavy
losses, both to the Tartars and to the 1
Russian troops, who are tho chief bel-'
llgorents, nnd with all the features of ;
a formal campaign. The Armenians '
chlolly figure as the victims, being un
able to wage even a successful de-
fense against tho well armed Tartars,
who are organized nnd trained on mili
tary lines and do not fear to meet the
Russian forces In open tight. The
Tartar forces are steadily Increasing,
being. It Is supposed, reinforced from
Kurds from beyond the trontler. '
Tho council of national defense j
adopted a project for tho more string-1
cut punishment, of persons refusing i
military service, providing for their 1
enrollment in disciplinary battalions
or Imprisonment at hard labor for
from four to eight years.
Thioughbut tho whole of the Rus
sian palo yesterday was observed as a
day of fasting and prayer for deliv r
anco from future pogroms. The .lew
ish committees of other cities joined
In services of prayer to avert the
slaughter of their co-roliglonlsts In
the danger zone.
PRESIDENT ON CONGRESS.
Roosevelt Writes Letter Approving
Work of Present Session.
New York, Aug. 21. A letter writ
ten by President Roosevelt to Con
gressman .lames E. Watson of Rush
vllle. Ind., reviewing and approving of
tho work of the present congress and
declaring: "To change the leadership
and organization of the house at this
time means to bring confusion upon
those who have successfully engaged
In the working out of a great and com
prehensive scheme for the betterment
of our social and civic conditions,"
was made public. The president also
declared that such a change will re
sult In hurtful oscillation between the
extreme radical and the extreme reac
tionary. The president also said that he
hopes the present congress will enact
laws prohibiting political contributions
by corporations, lowering the duties
on Imports from tho Philippines and
limiting tho number of hours for rail
way employes.
Very I'oltti.
Tho politest man has boon discovered,
lie was hurrying uiong the street the
other nlu'ht when another man, also In
violent haste, rushed out of a doorway,
and the two collided with great force.
The second man looked mad, while
the polite man, taking off his hat, said:
"My dear sir, I don't know which of
us Is to hlaine for this violent encoun
ter, hut I nm In too great a hurry to
Investigate. If I ran Into you, I bog
your pardon; if you ran Into me, don't
mention It."
And he tore away with redoubled
speed. Chicago Journal.
