HAVANA, Aug. 28. In the absence of news of fighting between Government and insurgent forces today, interest centers in the Government's offer of clemency to those of its enemies who will lay down their arms and return to their homes. While the press and public re gard the offer as an important incident of the conflict, the result thus far has not been what the Government seemed to anticipate. Citizens generally are willing to predict its results, and it is criticised especially in many quarters because it does not fix a time limit for the laying down of arms, thus giving the Insurgents time to test their cause, awhile longer and still re- serve the opportunity to quit their cause "lieu ujtrjr mi a Bauoucu Lucia ib uu chance of success. Residents of the country districts of Havana and Pinar del Rio Provinces uni formly speak respectfully of the size and conduct of the insurgent band, and it Is asserted that the people of the more remote districts are unquestionably with them. The forces of the revolutionary sentiment do not appear as yet to have greatly diminished and there are no signs of laying down arms, but it Is too early to expect that response to Secretary Mon talvo's order. Enlistments and other war preparations proceeded more rapidly than ever to day. Scores of horses have been Im pressed into service, their absence being one of the most serious lacks. More volunteers have started for Pinar del Rio, and the force in Pinar del Rio now is about 400, while that at San Juan de Martinez is 800. Extra precautions are being taken to guard the railroad between Pinar de Rio and San Juan de Martinez, in anticipation of Guerrera sending a force against it. His strength is augmented so much that he may .un dertake to carry out his threat of de stroying bridges and wrecking trains. No special precautions have been taken as to other railroads, as they are not threat ened with Moles Station. The forwarding of troops and am munition to Batabaro gives rise to the belief some insurgents have landed on the south coast of Western Pinar del Rio. Captain Asbert's band was re ported today near Havana in con siderably larger numbers. The people of the central and southern portions of Havana province do not greatly fear 'this band, as its behaviour thus far has been excellent. General Betancourt, commanding the troops in Matanzas Province, reported today that Matanzas was clear of in surgents. News from Santa Clara Pro vince comes in slowly and is less re liable. The insurgents in the South ern and Eastern parts of that province received such severe blows in recent rights that they seem now more quiet. The Governor of the province wired tonight that the insurgents in the vicinity of Radio Veloz are surrender ing. The Governors of the Provinces of Puerto Principe and Santiago tele praphed that those provinces are per fectly quiet. Major Gomez is moving from Colon toward Taguaramas, Santa Clara Province. pursuing a strong force of Insurgents, and a battle is expected shortly. There is considerable discussion as to how Pino Guerrera's force will continue to exist. Food crops are not raised to any extent in the province of Pinar del Rio, the soil being entirely devoted to the cultiva tion of tobacco. Very little freight of any sort Js going westward and commissary sup plies T-ave been despatched in that direction for the sustenance of the troops, but there is a fair supply of fored in the City of Pinar del Rio. The soldiers there are reported to be suf fering from fevers, supposedly caused by a poor supply of water. The con struction of earthworks for the de fense of the city of Pinar del Rio is being pushed. It is stated that a con siderable number of insurgents have deserted and gone to their hemes, as serting that they were deceived by those who Induce them to Join the revolt. Insurgents Fire on Train. . PINAR DEL. RIO, Cuba, Aug. 28. (Special). A passenger train on the Western Railroad was fired upon today by 40 mounted insurgents near Alqui zar. Several bullets struck the train, passing through coaches and shat tering the windows. The government guards on the train did not return the fire. Citizens of Alqulzar report steady firing in that vicinity all last night. It is believed that the firing was done by insurgents under Colonel Suarez. From Tacatoca it is reported 40 in surgents are operating in that vicinity. Railroad agent at Consolcan reports that 60 armed insurgents' rode through that town yesterday afternoon. WEIGHT DISPUTE SETTLED Gang and Nelson Agree After Long Wrangle. GOLDFIELD, Nev., Aug. 28. At an in formal meeting this morning, at which were present the officials of the Goldfleld Athletic Club and those interested in the Gans-Nelson fight, a lively discussion en sued over the ringside weight articles, in which the two managers took decidedly opposite views. Nolan stated that Gans should enter the ring at 2 o'clock on the day of the contest weighing 133 pounds, clad in his fighting garb. Sullivan, on the other hand, maintained that Gans, accord ing to the articles of agreement, shall make the specified weight entirely stripped. Slier, however, declined to pass on the subject, beyond quoting prizering rules, and referred the matter to the club officials for adjustment, if possible. Both Gans and Nelson took their cus tomary jaunts on the roads this morning. After an eight-mile run Gans jumped on the scales and weighed exactly 132 pounds. Nolan stated that Nelson's weight was below 130 pounds, but did not give the exact figures. Considerable money was placed today. REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOB GOV ERNOR OF NEBRASKA. George I. Sheldon.

Slier visited both fighters today and talked with them about the rules govern ing the fight, laying special stress on the breakaway clause. Slier says the men must break when he says, or there will be some disqualifying. After two hours' argument at a meet-i ing of the club, Gans offered a com promise on the weight question, which was accepted. The matter is now settled once and for all. . President Rickard announced that the meeting was punctuated, with personali ties, and states that in one instance Gans and Nolan all but came to blows.

ALL MEN HEAVILY ARMED San Francisco Strike Came Sooner Than Expected and Necessitates Haste Farley Says Federal Troops May Be Needed. NEW YORK, Aug. 29. Another special train loaded with strikebreakers was started for San Francisco last night by James Farley, who has been employed to. put an end to the big street-railroad strike in the Golden Gate city. Three Farley trains are now trying to cross the continent An four days, saving a day on the average passenger schedule. Another train will leave Jersey City to night, and still another may leave tomor row night. Like General's Headquarters. Farley's headquarters resembled the headquarters of a General in the Held yesterday.- His expedition is being equipped with 'ammunition, medical sup plies and surgical attendants. Seventy five rounds of cartridges have been or dered for the men, 1000 revolvers of heavy caliber have been furnished, and only the pick of men seeking adventure or high wages has been selected. Farley will send a New York surgeon, who will get in San Francisco a staff of assistants. He has already commissioned an agent to provide for the men at New York and at cities between here and Chi cago, while other commissary agents will look out for the men west of Chicago. May Call Federal Troops. The strike came a day or two before it was expected, and Farley had barely reached New York from San Francisco to begin calling his force to the places of assembly, when he received a tele gram at his hotel here that the strike had been ordered. "The condition in San Francisco is a very serious one," Farley said last night. "I fear that It will be necessary to ask for the Federal troops. It is not only serious in the point of menace to the peace of the pity, but also in its menace to the future of the city. Unless the street-car travel is resumed at once and kept up, hundreds of merchants will fail." AH Men Well Armed. A fast automobile was kept at the dis posal of the chief of the strike-breakers yesterday, because every second counted: Telegraph messengers poured in and out of his office, and his clerical force was doubled. Badges, policemen's clubs, cart ridges and cases of pistols were sent to the various points of the city to supply the men being recruited here, while the men in charge of stock and the trains with food were busy among the whole sale grocers, ordering what was needed. The movement of his army of strike breakers is not being accomplished with out opposition from the unions, for not a few union men attempted , to pass as would-be strike-breakers, b ut were eject ed from the trains and his recruiting agents and lieutenants have black lists which are being used to prevent agents of the union from coaxing the- strike breakers to abandon their jobs. As soon as he has 2500 men on the way, Farley will leave New York on a fast train for the Coast. OFFER OF tJXITED RAILROADS CONSIDERED TOO VAGUE. Mayor Schmltz Talks About Arbltra " Hon Try toEf feet Agreement Between Men and Company. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28. The three principal developments in the street rail way strike today were the receipt of a report that Thomas M. Farley had left New York with 700 strikebreakers; the statement of Thomas Mullalley, assistant to President Calhoun, declaring that the United Railroads was finding no difficulty in engaging men to fill the places of the strikers, and the meeting of ten unions connected with electric and cable roads, including ironworkers and teamsters, who decided fully to support one another in the present controversy. The committee of the carmen today is sued a statement in the form of an ap peal to the public, declaring themselves unwilling to return to work unless upon some offer more definite than is conveyed in the communication of President Cal houn, inviting them to return to work pending a consideration of their demands. "No official statement was made by the railroad officials during theNiay, and it is not expected than any other offer will be made to the men under the present conditions. It is a general impression that the company will not wait more than a few days for a response to the in vitation to return to work, and in some quarters it is believed that an attempt will be made to operate cars within the next three days. There was but little improvement in the conditions affecting tho general public during the day. Mayor Schmiti has an nounced that he will tomorrow attempt to arrange for a conference with represent atives of the United Railroads and the striking carmen. The Mayor has ex pressed a belief that the existing differ ences can be most speedily settled by ar bitration, and has declared himself in fa vor of a general and permanent board of arbitration, to which may be referred for adjustment all difficulties of this char acter. The Carmen's Union tonight Issued a long statement, replying to President Calhoun's invitation to return to work. The answer is a firm refusal and a no tification that the company in its fur ther negotiations must deal with the union and not with the. men as indi viduals. President Calhoun said to night: "We will operate the cars, but I cannot say when." RULES IN OWN SWETE WAY (Continued From Page 1.) premises with the air of a supreme ruler.
