Cuerrera Alone Hold Out and Want Roosevelt to Arbitrate. Havana, Aug. 29. Senator Do!, leader of the Moderate party, at tbe conclusion ol a conference with Presi dent Palma at midnight, stated that practically all tbe insurgent leader ol consequence except Pino Guerrera bad signified their willingness to disband their men, 11 all were positively guar anteed immunity for their Insurrec tionary actions. On account ol tne insurgents wn ngness to quit th field, there will be no further enlistment. Havana. Aug. 29.

Colonel Valle, with a de tachment of rural guard, wa Qis- patched to Cienfuego for tbe purpose of engaging Guxman and breaking op tbe band. The encounter 01 tne two force resulted in tb wont disaster which the InsurgenU have austained np to thi Mm. Tbey lost 17 men killed and many wounded, while the lo to be government force waa one man killed. The government is without further particulars of tbe fight.

Pino Guerrera, tbe insur gent leader operating in the province of Finar del Bio, in a aigned tatement telegraphed to tbe Associated Free te nigbt, declares that be 1. as determined as ever that tbe laat presidential elec tion shall be annulled before there can be peace in Cuba. That Guerrera' s force of 2,000 men il well armed and supplied with food and ammunition is amply verified. Ita greatest drawback is now lack ol mon ey, but the people of the western part of Pinar del Kio are lurnisning 11 wiin all the supplies needed, taking in re turn therefor order on the "Cuban government," and in many case re fusing to accept any consideration.
