Considerable alarm tt felt here. In , view
of the conditions In Chile, where food

Insnrreetlon Broken.
It la Increasingly evident that the back
bone of the insurrection In the western
part of the. province of Havana has been
broken. Even had the death' of General
Bandera not hastened that consummation,
the remainder of the band were making
for their homes, . as the pursuit of the
mounted rural .guards 'day-and night had
sickened them of any Insurrectionary ca
reer. Fino'Oenrra 4s ''far-sighted cfaaa
leader, with a considerably more Intelli
gent following, and his occupancy of San
Juan de Marlines today quickly failed.
His capture of San Luis enables him to
seriously threaten the provincial capital of
Ptnar del Rio.
One drawback to the general situation Is
the fact that, while many prominent men
are protesting their loyalty to the govern
ment, there Is an undeniable lukewarm ness
and waiting attitude among the masses.
They have the Impression that perhaps a
change In the occupancy, of the presidential
chair might bring more liberty and real
self-government to Cuba.

Ouerra have captured San Juan de Marli

visiting President Palma, said traffic would
proceed as usual.
The government haa not made public the
news of the capture of San Juan de Mar
tines by Insurgents. The editor of the
Post, which paper published an extra con
taining this news, was summoned before
Governor Nunes and censured for exciting
the public by publishing sensational news
unfavorable to the government Governor
Nunei declared that he would recommend
to President Palma the establishment of a
censorship. The newspapers of Havana do
not believe that President Palma will ap
prove of such a move, , as, despite a con
stant flood of rumors, the newspapers have
printed only facts, and usually these of
ficially authenticated, notwithstanding that
the palace Is chary of giving Information.

It was announced from. Havana August

greatly distinguished himself in the Cuban
war for Independence,, had, left Arroyo

about twenty Insurgents,,, whose numbers.

Bandera was about 60 years old. He took
part In the ten years' 'war, as well as In
thenar for Cuban Independence. He was
well known in every province of Cuba and
had great Inuflitence with the colored peo
ple. ' When In Havana, Bandera was In ths
habit of gathering crowds of ' negroes
about him and making apeeches to them on
the Ingratitude of republics. On one occa

delivered a violent speech, criticising the
government for not giving him an office.

At Cripple Creek" at the Km.
Hal Reed doesn't know what half-way
means. It's the limit with him every time,
and "At Cripple Creek" was written when
he had the throttle wide open and no brakes
set. As far as Its name Is concerned, the
play might have been called "At Denver"
or "At Gory Gulch," or even "At Podunk."
The name doesn't, hamper . Mr. Reed any
more than do facta. What; he wants la the
situations, and he gets them. He stuffs the
piece full of guns of various stses, some
knives, a Mexican, an Indian, a 'bad man,
a bad woman who reforms, and a good
man, a good woman, a good little girl and
a good littlest girl, with a negro and a
wench to. make the comedy. All of this
mixes Into a genuine Reed thriller, seen
here before and apparently popular, for It
drew a large audience to the Krug last
night, where the climaxes were duly
oheered.
Mr. Lloyd A. Sabine Is the virtuous hero
of the play, and Is well situated In the role.
Juan Vallasana does a good bit of char
acter work as the Mexican. Miss Virginia
Clay has a rather thankless role as "Dyna
mite Ann," the bad woman who reforms,
but makea a good deal out of the part, de
spite the stilted lines with which the
author has handicapped the part. Miss
Bertha Bell Is the virtuous heroine and Lu
cille Smythe is the real hit of the evening
In her role of Maggie Mason, the good little
girl.
"At Cripple Creek'' will ; remain at the
Krug till after Saturday evening, with the
customary matinee on Saturday afternoon.

"For the rank and file df' the party the

by the grace of the rank and file, without

It will stand by democratic principles, as
sist the mayor of Omaha to carry out the
pledges made on the platform on which he
was elected, and become a mighty power
for William j. Bryan for president." Such
Is the gospel as It was proclaimed last
night at the first ' meeting of the club
by such prophets as Mayor Dahlman, Louis
J. Plattl, John E. Reagan, Dan Butler and
other democratic luminaries.
"This organisation Is for the common
man, and we are not even going to aak
the leaders to come tin," said Mr. Dahlman
In his address to the club. "If the leaders'
ask for membership, they will be admit
ted, but they have got to get Into tine or
we will ride ever therotaa ww rode over
them at the last "City -election. It wasn't
the leaders who elected methey didn't
bother themselves about coming out it was

Mr. Dahlman spoke much of the candi
dacy of William J. Bryan for the presl-
dency and predtcted. that the new club
would be a powerful . factor for him In
his own state.

All the members of Philip Stein's fam
ily and two relatives from Chicago were
given an exciting Vide at a breakneck
pace early Thursday, evening behind ,two
badly frightened horses, and -when at last
they came to a stop where' they were
dumped they picked themselves ' up from
the hard pavement and were surprised that
they were still In this world and not greatly
the worse for their experience,
Mrs. Stein, her children. Pearl, Nettle,
and Esther, aged -S. 4 and 1 years, re
spectively, with Miss Cella Spiegel and Ell

Twelfth street, when the bridle on. one
of the horses fell to the animal's feet.
This frightened both the horses and before
anytlng could be done they took up
haphasard line of march at double tlnie
and then some, turning Into Dodge street
as far aa Tenth, making the corner there
safely, and continuing, as far as Capitol
avenue, where -they tried to cut cross
the curbstone. The horses made It without
any trouble. But the experiment waa dis
astrous for the ' surrey. This was In
stantly reduced to a dilapidated state and
the Stein family with the visitors were
thrown out.
The patrol wagon came up almost before
the luckless ones struck the ground, and
Police Surgeon Elmore made a hasty el

and it looked like the hospital for all, but
nothing more than superficial abrasions
could Elmore find. The wagon was called

la Poatofllces.
WASHINGTON, Aug. is. Fining of em
ployes as a means of enforcing discipline
lt th postal service, a system that has
been In operation for many years. Is to be
abolished. First Assistant Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who has jurisdiction
over all postofflce employes, after a year's
observation of this means of discipline, has
reached the conclusion that It Is detrimental
rather than helpful. He proposes to estab
lish In Its plsce a uniform system of effi
ciency records, which will be put Into op
eration aa soon aa perfected.
Under. Mr. .Hitchcock's new plan, which
will be used aa a basis for all Increases
and reduction In salary, employes will be
given to understand that when they become
generally careless or Inefficient a reduction
In salary will follow. The periodical pro
motions that are made at the beginning
of each fiscal year will go only to employes
who merit advancement on their efficiency
