hAVANA , Cuba , March C.-Owing to
further disturbances In Santa Clara the gov-
"rlment , has decarc that province under
JTlrtal law A party of 200 Insurgents all-
peured near lie sugar plantaton of San
Llnl yesterday. They were under the lender-
shll of Intagas , who Is characterized al a
bandit , but sympathizers of the patriot
cause say this accusation Is l unjust.
The government receIved word of the
presence of the party In ROlas over the
telephone from a person who Is loyal. A
detachment of volunteers was sent there at ,
once with three officers all five members' '
of the civil guard. They arrived In two
hours and went In search of the Iatagas
Ilarty. They were found In Los Cumos , near
the village of Santiago , where the Insurgents
were ambushed In a fine position , sur-
rounded by low hills.
A hbt engagement followed , which lasted ,
moro than In heur ) , during which time the
Insurgents helt the position. The volunteer
forces fought bravely , however , and finally
dlslollgld them. According to the government -
mont alvlccs , the retreat at the Insurgents
became a , rout. The Insurgents ran In tls-
order pursuet by the loyal forces In their
fight the Insurgent abandoned eleven horses ,
their provisions , hammocks and other
erectH , all of , which were captured by the
fl Invnl fnr"n
--\"I : hat ' which hal been pierced , by a bullet
was also picked up on the ucla. In the hit
was the uume of . \ range Rodriguez , one of
the sub-chiefs' nf Matagas. Another chief
"as reeogulzet ns EI Tourto Matos.
Information has been received that Matlgas
forced under threats of death the country
people to join his nioveinent. This was
notIceably the case In Javacoa and Medldas.
In the ' ellgaement one lieutenant and four
of the loyal volunteers were wounded and
taken to flodas. When last seen the insurgents -
surgents were going toward Los Durros. I
I known that the Iatngas party Is composed
of men frem Havana , who Intended to join
another troop In the forest of Anton In
' Palmctns. I Is said the ultImate destination
of th' Insurgents Is Colon.
In Colon the commandants of the loyal
troops met a party of eighty insurgents
cinder the leadershlll of Matamoras. The Insurgents -
surgents ran away leaving two horses and
their sa 111 es. Captain Manzano let the
same party In Songo and gave them battle.
On the sille of the Spanish troops one man
was wounded ant one hors killed.
SAYS THE mmELLION IS DYING.
Emio Cal'Jay Isasl , captain general , of
Cuba , In an IntervIew , said : "Dy quick and
strong measures Wo have stopped the up-
rIsing In Matanzas In six days. The party
of the bandit 1Iatagas In Colon and other
III aces. reported as ' 200 strong , was acquired
_ by enforcement draughts from these villages.
Dispatches were received today to show that
Matagas had scarcely seventy men when he
retreated. , "
"How about the situation In Santiago ? " he
was aske'1 ' _
' 'flul Is more serious , " he saId. \Ve are
workIng there to pacify matters. From news
receIved by the government wo are In hopes
that everything hero will be settled without
flgh ( lug. "
"DO you think the trouble wi increase
despite your elorts ? "
"It Is my personal opinion that It will dIe
for lack of fuel. "
\Vho arc the lenders ? "
"Tho former leader are presumably loyal , "
le said.
le
"The only leader the Insurgents had In
Malznlo Is old and good for nothing. The
only other leader Habl , Is In Santiago. All
the _ othicrn are loyal : : . . .
"JOW about : angulyT'
"Oh , " replied the captaIn general , with a
suggestive shrug , "he Is In jail. "
'fAre the lartes ) of Insurgents increasing
or 11eereaslng ? "
"Thiy are growing constantly less , Many
have already gone home. "

Anuual Report to the Iclhndllt CllrcrOICO
I. n 1 < mattering Onc.
DALTIlIOIE , March 6.-After a short pre-
lminary service of prayer and the adminis-
( ration of cOllunlon today , the BaltImore
conference of the Methodist Episcopal church
settled down to the work of its one hundred
and ele\entl annual session. A feature of
the conference this year Is the Pentecostal
service every morning and afternoon.
In telling of what the general board of
olucaton has done during the past year , Dr.
A. F. Payne said that I had been largely
Instrumental In giving to the Methodist
Episcopal church the best system of educa-
,
ton put up by any Protestant denomination '
In the country. Dr. Payne urged the strict
observance of Children's day and compliance
of the requirements of the discipline In
sending the Children's day collection entIrely
to the board of education. The money received -
celvcl by tIme board goes to educate young
people , and It has been doubled II the past
sIx years. Not a cent of I goes for expenses -
penses of administration. Last year lG3D
students were assisted. Most of these could
not have remained In school except for the
money the board lent them.
Dr. Sanford hunt senIor agent of the
NatIonal Methodist Episcopal look Concern ,
called attentIon to the fact that the appro-
prlations male during this year by tile con-
cern were $120,000. an Increase of $20,000 ,
notwithstanding the financIal distress.
"The profIts of the western house at Cin-
clnmmnti , " he sold , "have been greater than
tho5 of the eastern house at New York.
What we have been expecting for a long
time has come to pass. The patronage of the
New York house has decreased , while that
at Cincinnati has Increased. This wi be
made more apparent In the luture. The
west does not feel the pressure of the times
a does the easter house. In the east , and
particularly In New England , where the
people are engaged largely In manufacture ,
hard ( tunes were Immediately felt. Then the
native agrarlam are drIven from that section
to the west , and the employes of the mills
are . composed _ almost _ . entIrely _ of foreigners ,
wno are Catluomics. I IS a ret lat Lucre
are scarcely any Americans employed In the
shoe facorles ( ' of New England , th&y havIng
been drIven out by Canadians.
" 1ethodlsm Is drIfting westward. There
Is no rIvalry between the two houses. They
work as one. The center of population Is
nous' west of CincinnatI , all the center of
MethodIsm Is even stIll farther west The
net capital of the eastern house Is $2,015,840 :
that of the western house $ .381,12. a total
net capital of $3.39G,952. The sales last
year of the New York house were $868,13G ,
anl , of the CincInnatI house $989,18G : total ,
1,857,822. The total profs In tie past two
years has been $411,280. " The report called
attention to the fact that the hook Concern
has In the last two years contributed $238,570
for the support of superannuated ministers.

of ( hue men In the shop went a long wa's.
Some Interesting testimony , from the ( con-

the retention of Deemer as warden. Jones Is
said tb have stated that thIs petition was secured -
