Senator DoIk, a leader of the Moderate party, at the conclusion of a conference with Presi dent Palma nt midnight, stated that practically all the insurgent leaders of consequence except Pino Guorrera had signified their willingness to disband their men, if all wore positively guar anteed immunity for their insurrec tionary actions. On account of the insurgents' wil lingness to quit the field, there will be no further onllstments. Havana, Aug. 20. At the moment today when the government was issuing its proclamation offering pardon to rebels who would lay down their arms, its forces were dealing the most telling uiow mat lias yet been struck against the insurgents In the field. For seve ral days it had been stated that General Uusman's force of insurgents, which was variously estimated at from 200 upward, contemplated an attack on Cienfuegos. Colonel Valla with a de tachment of rural guards, was dis patched to Cienfuegos for the purpose of engaging Gurman and breaking up the band. The encounter of the two forces resulted in the worst disaster which tho Insurgents have sustained up to this time. They lost 17 men killed and many wounded, while the loss to ibe government force was one man killed. The government is withont further particulars of the fight. That the insurrection is in a shaky condition seems to be a fact, although tho end may not bo as near as mem bers of tho government forces profess to believe. Pino Guorrera, tho imur gont loader oporatlng In tho province of Plnar del RIo, in n signed statement telegraphed to tho Associated Press to night, declnres that, ho is ns determined as ever that tho last presidential elec tion shall bo annulled bofore thoro can be peace in Cuba. That Guorrera's force of 2,000 men is well nrmed nnd suppliod with food and ammunition is nmply verified. Its greatest drawback is now lack of mon ey, but tlioi pooplo of tho western part of Plnar del' Rio are furnishing it with all the supplies ncoded, taking in re turn therefor orders on the "Cuban government," and in many cases re fusing to accept any consideration. Rapid fire guns and considerable war material arrived today for the gov ernment, and more is expected from NewOrleans, - It Is reported that Guzman's force, the vanguard of which was defeated by Colonel Valle near Cienfuegos, numbers 1,000 men, well armed and mounted. The report is undoubtedly exaggerated. As a result of a meeting in Havana to night, many congressmen inscribed themselves as volunteers. VALDEZ FORESTS BLAZING. Dense Smoko Blots Out Sun and Steamers Slow Down. Vancouver, B. 0., Aug. 20. One of the largest fires which has occurred up coast this season is now raging in Val dez Island. Steamers which arrived in today were somewhat delayed by dense smoke, and passengera sny that in tho vicinity of tho tuene of tho tiro massive clouds ol dnrk smoke entirely obliterated all view of the (lamea. Valdez island is covered with a mag nificent growth' of first-class timber, and many local timber holders have lanre claims there. The fire's pres ence on the island has caused anxiety in local business circles, which is nil the more heightened by the fact that nothing can stop it. Rain Is badly needed along the coast. Firo Warden McKay statod today that the recent big bush fire near Gower Point had done more damage than was at first supposed. While the fire destroyed a large tract of timber, it also burned the bridges and destroyed the roads in the vicinity, and the people who live within the territory on which the timber was destroyed will have no access to the water until new roads and bridges are built. "The people in the vicinity," said Mr. McKay, "will be practically deHti tute this winter unless something Is done very quickly to relieve them and to aid them in building new roads and bridges." Excursion for Irrlgatlonltts. Boise, Idaho, Aug. 20. Arrange ments are completed for extensive ex cursions for delegates to the Irrigation congress. These will run west to Weieer and east to Twin Falls and St. Anthony. At Twin Falls the delegates will be taken to allipoints of scenic in terest. The trains will then go to Idaho Falls and St. Anthony, giving the delegates an opportunity to see the irrigation of the Upper Snake. A feature of the congress will be a series of illustrated lectures by representa tives of government departments Bryan Declines Private Car. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 29. Mr. Bryan has declined the proffer of Pres ident Mellen's private car on his trip from New York to this city. In his let ter be says: "I do not think it would be wise to accept favors from the rail road. Let me nav mv fare and ride as I usually do" I PRICES GO SOARING Increase In Pay Little Benefit to San Francisco Workmen. RENTS ALMOST OUT OF REACH Bread and Butter Free, but Restau rants and Hotels Recoup on Other Things. San Francisco, Sept. 1. Two months ago it was stated that labor In 8a Fran cisco had reached the highest known record for wages. Since then labor has eclipsed its own record. Not only has labor advanced, but house tents an! food bavo gone up with rapid strides during the last two months. Today another modest little restau rant crossed out its printed prices and inked in advances on the margin. For a small slice of roast, beef which was formerly procured for 25 cents, SO cents must now be paid. It is a little cafe where the patrons sit up to n counter bare of cloth. It Is patronized mostly by the workingmen in the burned dis trict and the newspaper employes, and its prices are as low as they can be placed. Tho proprietor for some reason or other folt called upon to explain. Tho Increase, by tbo way, Is about 20 per cont. "It is this way," apologized the 4iost. "I pay half again as much for things ns I did befoto tbo II ro. To be gin with, I get fivo loaves of brond loss than formerly for 1. Tho bakers struck, and to meet the increase in wigos tbo price of bread had to be ralod. "Then tho price of meat wont up again this week. Thu delivery men itot an Increase to something like $8 a month, so the butchers have boosted the price. "Fruit and butter are way up, nnd Just the other day the waiters threat ened to strike and we had to raise them. They used to get $14 a week, now they get 110 60. So what could I do? I had to raise my prices or go out of business." He told the truth, but only part of the truth. Wages in nearly every line have advanced since the fire. Some bricklayers are now receiving f 10 a day. In many cases hod carriers ro ceive $A, marble cutters $7, electricians $5 60, plumbers $7, plasterers $10, structural iron workers (0, tile setters $7.60, cement workers $0, steamfltters and sheet metal workers the same, painters $5 nnd foremen on general jobs $10. The figures quoted rfpreiont tho highest wages paid In the trades men tioned at the present tlmo. The aver ago would be slightly less. The union scale counts for very little at present. All contractors aro forced to exceed it in order to get men. They aro bidding against each other, and tho end does not seem to have been reached. Strike has followed strike, and now, with in creased wages in nlmost every lino of industry, nobody is any better off than before. DEFECTS fM BIG WARSHIPS. Wrecked Montague and Great Dread naught Poorly Riveted, London, Sept. 1. Statements have beun circulated about ilnfntlvn u-nrk. rnanship on English battleships, It was asserted tout in salvaging tho Montague, which went on tho rooks off Lundy Island in June last, grave do feels in her rivetlnu wore dlarovnrnd. o .-., but these statements were lmmedlatnlv denied from authoritative quarters. The Dally Mall's correspondent at Portsmouth makes a similar fcta.tenint about the new monster battleship Dreadnought, alleging that in the hur ry to get the vessel completed her nlatea were badlv fixed. flnnn nftnr tho vessel was launched, the corres pondent says, some holes were found witnoui rivets, anu me men responsi ble were dismissed. Some leakage also was found and she U.now in drydock. Sudden Voyage In Air. Middletown, N. V., Sept. 1. A wo man spectator at a hulloon ascension at the Ulster County fair at Kvansville today had her foot caught by one of the guy ropes of the balloon, and hang ing head downwards, was carried many feet into the air. The young woman aeronaut was hanging from the para chute bar. Hhe reached out and grasped the woman, at the same time letting the gas out of the balloon, It dftcended and struck with considerable force half a mile from the starting point. Both women were badly hurt. New Spelling in College. Bethlehem, Pa., Sept. 1, Prof. Mansfield Merriam, of the department of civil engineering of Lehigh univers Ity, today posted nothe to the students In his department that hereafter the Carnegie system of reformed spelling would he used in all quizzes and lec tures, bridge reports, etc, REBELS SWARMING IN BRUSH. Anxiety of Governmont Grows With Increaso of Insurrection. Havana, Aug. 28. The anxiety of President Palma to extend every possi be opportunity for peace without bloodshed, and his desire to pormit those who Joined the Insurrection un der misguldf nod to repent and return to'their homes unmolested, combined with the general wish to end tho situa tion fraught with so much loss and suffering, has led to consideration by tho president and his cabinet of a pro ject decreeing a 30-day amnesty poriod, during which the insurrectionists are Invited to l?y down their arms and re turn to tbelr peaceful pursuits. It was proposed to issue the decree tomorrow, but persons close to the president strongly opposed the meas ure and the matter was referred and may be relinquished. So far as actual conflict went, Sun day proved to be it day of inactivity, but preparations proceeded withont abatement. A fund of $2,000,000 has been eel aside by the treasury (or de fense, and drafts on it are heavy. Tho situation is so increasingly seri ous that it is tccitly admitted in all governmont circles that the enlarge ment of (he army will not stop at any given number. While the number of men at present leaving their regular occupations to en list Is small, employers are beginning to find that they soon will be confront ed with a considerable scarcity of labor. Many lahorers are gathored in front of tho bulletin boards on which Is dis played tho call for volunteers Issued by tho president Saturday night. They discuss tho attractiveness of a soldiers' llfo nt such unusual pay, and may en list. It was said today that several now insurgent bands had takon to thu brush. Tho growth u( tho insurrection cortalnly seems to keep pace with the preparations for suffocating it. RUSSIAN GENERAL KILLED. Young Girl Fires Five Bullets From Automatic Revolver. St. Potoisburg, Aug. 28. Saturday's unsuccessful attempt on tbo llfo of Pre mier Stolypin, with its sickening, use less slaughter of 32 persons, was fol lowed today by another revolutionary outrage, in which General Min, com mander of the 8eminovsky Guard regi ment, and who since his promotion to be a general has been attached as a personal adjutant to the suite of the emperor, was killed on the station platform at Peterhof by a young wo man, who fired five shots into his body from an automatic revolver and then without resistance submitted to arrest. The capture of the girl was effected by General Mln's wife, who held her until the arrival of an officer. Tills was the third successive at tonipt on tho life of General Min, who was condemned to death by the terror ists immediately after the Moscow re volt last December, on account of stern repression practiced by a battalion un der his command, and especially for tho wholesale execution of persons con demned by drumhead courtmartial for being caught with arms in their hands. General Min was returning from his summer residence at Poterhof and had Just greeted hi wifo and daughtor on the platform when a young woman almost a girl approached from behind and fired two shots into his hack and then throe moro Into his body as it sank to tho ground. Further shots were prevented by Mine. Min, who threw herself upon tho murdereds and seized the hand which held the pistol. The woman did not attempt to escape, but she cautioned Mtr.e. Min not to touch n hand bag which she had placed on the platform before shooting the general, adding that it contained a bomb. To the police the girl acknow ledged that she iiad done the deed, Bay ing that she had executed the sentence of the fighting organization of the So cial Revolutionists. Cuban Outposts Are Nervous. San Juan de Martinez, Aug. 28 The past 24 hours have been quiet except for shooting Ubt night at imaginary objects by mon on outpoBtri. As a re sult, twi) brothers asleep In a farm house were shot. One of them died and the other is unconscious. The in surgent forces under Pino Guorrera spent last night and today at Galafre, near hero. No movement has yet been made by either side to attack. Kz governor Perez, a Liberal, visited Guer rero today and found him to be well in formed as to what was going on. Ready for Trial Trip. London, Aug. 28. The Daily Mall's Christiana correspondent says tiiat o. steamer from Spltzhergen brings a re port that the Wellman Chicago Record Herald North Pole expedition's shed and balloon were finished last woek, and that Mr. Wellmun intends shortly to make a trial trip. Yacht Galilee Damaged. Yokohama, Aug. 28. The magnetic survey yacht Galilee, which sailed from San Francisco about a year ago in the Interests of the Carnegie Institute, was driven on the breakwater here during a typhoon August 24. She was consid erably damaged, but has been floated and docked for repairr. s 3 4 l'- H I ? BBKiTiWri'iilif IWSOT imi jZr-" m WV1C inT
