Havana, Sept. 1 5. It i feared that the
rebel Guerra will attack this city despite
the eff aits of the government to repulse

it seems more likely that insurgei.ts are
getting their army into the best shape
possible before making any attack. : It
has been impressed upon Americans that
only American intervention can save the
city from capture.
This afternoon it became officially known
that the Insurgents were successful at
Fajay this morning and are now advanc
ing, Three of the Loyalists were killed
during the battle, but how many Insurg
ents are dead, is not known.

convention of Oregon sheriffs. He r
ports a two days session well attended
and much benefit was derived from tin
meeting.
Tom saw the big race, the greatest race
that has been seen in Oregon for many
years. "The mud was nearly six inches
deep all over the track," enthusiastically
related the sheriff. "Satin Royal was not
the favorite in the race but when the two
leaders came up the stretch, Satin Royal
was hub and hub, and about eight feet
from the wire was a nose ahead. His
opponent broke and ran undei the wire
ahead of West's horse. The following two
heats were the hardest fought races I
ever saw. Neither horse broke and Satin
won by a nose once and by seven inches
once. N. K. West is happy today."
Mr. West was unable to enter Common
wealth as no competitors would enter
against him. West, with his string of
four, leaves tonight for North Yakima.
