MUST ANNUL ELECTIONS
Valma's Pence Overtures Fail in
Cuba, and Insurgents Assume "
Aggressive With Force.
Hopes bf Peace Gone.
HAVAN'A, Sept. 7. All peace overtures
are blocked by the refusal of Pino Guer
rera, the insurgent leader in Pinar del
Rio 'rovince, to enter into any arrange
ment for an armistice. Guerrera's an
swer to the government's announcement
of its agreement to grant ten days' armis
tice is the blowing up of two bridge on
the Western Railway, the cutting of rail
way communication beyond Pinar del Rio
City, and an attack on San Juan de Mar
tinez. It is said here tonight that Sin Juan de
Martinez is in the hands of the insur
gents, and that the garrison, consisting of
1H) government recruits and a small force
of mounted rural guards, has been de
feated or captured.
Guerrera's Army Stronger.
The fact that other leaders of the Insur
rection are willing to agree to an armis
tice can have little effect so long as Guer
rera is determined to prosecute the war,
and there Is slight douht in any quarter
that Guerrera can control the situation In
his own region. His force Is reported by
all those who have visited him recently
as ranging from .1000 to 4000 men, all of
them well mounted and some of them
well and others indifferently armed. The
government force opposed to him, which
Is under command of Colonel Avalos, com
prises about lono men. It was reinforced
at 7 o'clock this evening by Lieutenant
Colonel Clews with 1250 men and three
machine guns from Havana. Colonel Av
alos' force, with the exception of small
detachments left at San Juan de Mar
tinez and San Luis, is at Pinar del Rio
City, but Is without means of transporta
tion to go to the relief of San Juau de
Martinez. Not more than 400 of them are
mounted.
Guerrera Issues Ultimatum.
General Menocal said today that Guer
rera evidently had not been Informed that
the government had actually, although,
informally, granted an armistice, adding
that a second committee had been sent
to him, but could not reach him before
tomorrow. The fact Is, however, that
Guerrera refuses point blank to accept
an armistice except on condition that the
last Presidential and Congressional elec
tions shall he annulled. That the gov
ernment should consent to this is out of
the question, and tonight prospects point
to continuance of the war.
In connection with Pino Guerrera's at
titude it is notable that the Liberals have
grown more Independent. They say that
on account of the government's surveil
lance and prosecution they will no longer
noid meetings, and that It is useless to
consider peace under the circumstances,
British Protest Expected.
Several prominent veterans arrived to
day from Eastern Cuba, but the veter
ans' peace conferences are proceeding
but slowly in view of the day's develop
ments. The talk of the veterans Is tend
ing to become more aggressive, and they
urge action rather than peace endeavors,
. as being the more practical means of end
' ing hostilities.
All regard the blowing up of an Eng
lish company's railroad bridge ae a seri
ous matter and likely to invite interna
tional action by Great Britain, or at least
an interrogation of the government at
Washington by Great Britain as to
whether the former Intends to intervene
to end war conditions In Cuba.
Alfredo Zayas, the president of the
Liberal party, had brief conferences to
night, one -with General Menocal and an
other with Senor Sangullly, an independ
ent Senator, but refused to talk for pub
lication on the subjects discussed.
Rebels Out Near Havana.
The conditions In Havana Province out
side the city, while better than those in
Pinar del Rio Province, are not encourag
ing. Americans who have visited the
tamps of Colonel Guas near San Antonio
de los Ranos and those of Asbert in the
southern part of Havana Province, have
found several hundred men in camp, all
of them possessed of good horses ' but
they are Indifferently armed. Around
Guanajay and Artemlsa are many rural
guards, but all the towns in that region
are In wholesome fear of the insurgents.
The latter do very much as they please.
The situation In Santa Clara Province is
worse, particularly in respect of the in
surgent strength, although it is believed
that the armistice is being respected
there. There have been many desertions
from the rural guards to the insurgent
side.
Loynaz del Castillo, who now signs
himself general in chief of the insurg
ents in Havana Province, has issued an
order to his followers to respect the
armistice as proposed. Yesterday's fight
in this Province was due to the fact that
the government officers did mot know
that a cessation of hostilities had been
tentatively authorized.
Aeterans See Palma's "Weakness.
Most of the Havana veterans speak
with much gravity of the disparity in
numbers of the government troops as
compared with the insurgents. It is gen
erally acknowledged that up to the pres
ent time the insurrectionists, especially in
Pinar del Rio Province, are in greater
numbers, better equipped, armed and fed
than was General Gomez' command in
its best fighting days. The government
fully appreciates the gravity of the situa
tion, but is still hopeful that the news of
the ten days' armistice announced today
will have the effect, when it reaches the
enemy, of causing a cessation of hostili
ties uretil all concerned shall have
obtained an actual understanding of the
peace proposals.
A dispatch from Cienfuegos. Province
of Santa Clara, today says that in an en
gagement between government troops
and insurgents near Palmira yesterday
the former lost two men killed and
had 14 men wounded, while the Insurg
ents had six men killed and 20 wounded.
The dispatch says that more government
troops deserted to the Insurgents today
from Cienfuegos.
The managers of some of the large busi
ness interests have cabled the foreign
heads of their companies their belief that
the government of President Palma will
be unable to cope with the insurrection.
Rebels Hold Up Troop Train.
General Manager Livesey, of the West
ern Railway, tonight informed the Asso
ciated Press that the special train carry
ing machine guns and troops from Ha
vana had not arrived at Pinar del Rio
this evening. Upon reaching Las Sovas
it was found that a freight train preceding
it was held up by a large number of reb
els. The troop train .was unable to pass,
and. after exchanging tire with the rebels,
it returned to Las i'alicas. According to

a telegraphic report, the train was obliged
to come back because the locomotive was
out 0 water. The railway officials are
at a loss to understand the matter, as
the cars were armored and the troops
could safely have fortified themselves in
them.
Mr. Livesey expects the insurgents will
continue to prevent troops from reaching
Pinar del Rio. as telegraph wires have
been cut at Rio Fe, east of Pinar del Rio
City.
Colonel Dominguez, commanding a de
tachment of volunteers, today encountered
80 insurgents under command of Colonel
Montero in the southern part of Havana
Province and killed three rebels and cap
tured a quantity of arms and horses.
Confident of Beating Guerrera.
General Freyre Andrade said to the As
sociated Press tonight that the govern
ment victories followed by the peace ne
gotiations will finish the rebellion in Ha
vana and Santa Clara Provinces, leaving
Pinar del Rio as the place where the gov
ernment must concentrate its energies.
Guerrera's force. General Andrade said,
was large, but he is utterly Incapable of
maneuvering large bodies of men. and his
army, therefore, is only a mob, which can
not maintain, itself long against discip
lined forces.
It is reported that a Cuban gunboat has
brought to Marel a schooner which was
captured while carrying supplies to the
insurgents in Pinar del Rio Province.
Owing to the Interruption of telegraphic
communication, military headquarters
have no reports of the attacks on Pinar
del Rio. Dispatches received form that
city reported an exchange of fire east
ward of Pinar del Rio City, where the
rebels are said to be in considerable force.
Secretary Montalvo stated tonight that
no official armistice had been ordered by
the government.
GUERRERA TAKES OFFENSIVE
Plans Rapid Movements and Fights
for Fair Election.
HAVANA. Sept. 7. Colonel Pino Guer
rera. leader of the insurgent forces in
Pinar del Rio province, announced
yesterday that he was ready to
begin an offensive campaign against
the government. He intends making
rapid moves, changing camps often as
possible In order to avoid having the bur
den of feeding so many men long In any
one section. He broke camp at Jibara
before noon yesterday. Fifty minutes
later, when the daily train for Havana
started for San Juan y Martinez, where
the government troops are centered, the
road south of the station was covered
with Guerrera's cavalry as far as the eye
could see.
Two kilometers below the station, where
the highway crosses the railroad, the
train was stopped by insurgents, who
lined horses alongside the track. From
that point a long view of the road in each
direction Bhowed the insurgents massed
to the horizon. Colonel Julian Belan
court, Guerrera's adjutant, went through
the train, receiving warm greetings from
almost every passenger. He ordered the
removal of two rural guards who had
tried to hide, and took the mail sacks
with all the correspondence from San
Juan. The telegraph wires had already
been cut.
When the train was ordered to proceed
without one shot having been fired, the
insurgents resumed their march toward
the hills back of Riesco. In the govern
ment mail seized. Colonel Belancourt
found official instructions from the Judge
of Pinar del Rio ordering the arrest of
himself, Guerrera, Cruz, Colonel Bravet,
and a score of other leaders on a charge
of theft. They were directed to Colonel
Avoles, commander at San Juan, telling
him to make the arrests.
As Guerrera approached San Juan in
one direction Avalos left in the other
with 150 rural guards, going to Pinar del
Rio by way of Riesco. He is expected to
return by the same route. If he does
he cannot avoid a light. Pino's men
seem well disciplined and equipped.
Approached by a correspondent, Pino
Guerrera said: "You can tell the people

north that I am now going to take the
the offensive. If I have not done so al
ready, it is because I have had to perfect
the organization, and attend to the mat
ter which appeared to me of first impor
tance. I shall not attempt to hold towns
or fortify a position in the hills. I shall
continue to move rapidly everywhere."
"Has the government made any pro
posals of peace?" was asked. i
"Officially none," replied Guerrera. "A
committee came to see me two days ago,
and another of veterans Thursday. Many
veterans are awaiting further movements.
Unless we obtain an honorable peace they
will join us. I have made no ' proposi
tion to the government. I have no au
thority to name conditions of peace. I
am simply a soldier obeying the orders of
the central committee, which is merely a
revolutionary body without taking the
form of a government. I obey their di
rections and recognize their authority.
"Perhaps you would like to know who
is my candidate for President. I have
none. If Palma should be elected by the
people I would be the first to declare my
allegiance. I will support any man
elected. If the American people had
such a government as exists here they
would not let it remain in power five
days."
GUERRERA BLOWS CP BRIDGES
Drives Away Men Sent to Repair
. Them His Army Growing.
HAVANA. Sept. 7. Two bridges of the
Western Railway between Pinar del Rio
and San Luis, south of that city, were
blown up with dynamite this morning. A
force of men sent to repair the bridges
was stopped by a body of rebels num
bering atSeast 500 men.
General Avalos, commander of the
government forces, has telegraphed to
the authorities to send three rapid
fire guns to the scene of the bridge de
struction, in order to enable him to
protect the workmen sent to rebuild
the structures. With proper protec
tion, the railroad company officials
think they can repair the bridges in
five days. Pino Guerrera's force, how
ever, is becoming increasingly numer
ous in that part of the country. The
people there do not think that the gov
ernment can suppress the insurrection.
Eulogio Guinea, a hotel proprietor, and
Enrique Messonier, formerly a member
of the City Council, from which he was
removed, have been placed under arrest.
Both are liberals, and the police claim
to have found in their homes manifestos
against President Palma. The charge
against the prisoners is membership in a
revolutionary junta
General Loynez Castillo has been se
riously wounded on the forehead by an
insurgent subaltern, who struck him with
a machte as the General had struck the
insurgent officer with th e fiat of his
seword.

NEW YORK. Sept. 7. The Cuban junta
in New York is thought to be fitting out
two men-of-war to intercept the Cuban
government ship Maria Herrera, now at
Bush's stores, in South Brooklyn, loading
munitions of war. It is known that agents
of the junta have been examining ves
sels in the Erie Basin and that negotia
tions are about closed for two ships. A
firm of international detectives has been
engaged by the Cuban government to
watch the revolutionists, and it is said
that the United States authorities have
been asked to prevent any filibusters
leaving this port.
Colonel Aguerre. in charge of the
junta's press agency, appears to be cha
grined that the carefully guarded secret
has leaked out. and loudly protests that
the revolutionists do not intend to inter
fere with the Herrera. Neverthless a
Cuban, said to be in sympathy with the
junta, remarked recently that the Hererra
would never see Cuba.

THREATEN TO BURN TOWN
First Outbreak Since the Algeciras
Treaty Causes Alarm In Europe.
France Sends Cruiser and
Sultan Sends Troops.
LONDON, Sept. S. The newspapers
here this morning contain little fur
ther news of tho revolution at Mogador,
which is one of the Moroccan posts
that the Algeciras conference decided
France should protect. It appears that
the news of the revolution reached both
the American and Spanish Legations at
Tangier from their respective Con
suls at Mogador. Anfloos Kaid is re
ported to have seized and threatened to
burn the town, whereupon a meeting
of foreign representatives was called
and strong appeals were made to Mo
hammed el Torres, who is sending
troops to the assistance of the govern
ment. The French cruiser Galilee will
afford a refuge for all foreign citizens
wishing to leave Mogador.
' 'According to a dispatch frorn Tangier
to a news agency here the raiders com
mitted many excesses, several persons
were killed and the Jewish community
was compelled to retire to Mellitah.
The Times' Tangier correspondent
says that dispatches from Mogador
dated September 4 declared that a Ber
ber chief entered the town and de
manded that all Jewish merchants,
many of whom were proteges of sub
jects of European powers, should re
tire to the Ghetto and, upon their re
fusal to do so, threatened to seize and
burn their effects. The dispatches did
not mako it clear whether or not the
chief had begun to do this, but showed
that a great panic exsited in Mogador.

Ant I-Jewish Fanatics Cans New
Trouble In Morocco.
LONDON, Sept. 7. A dispatch from
Tangier today to a News Agency here
says:
The consular corps at Mogador has
telegraphed to the Spanish Minister
here to the effect that Anfloos Kaid,
with 300 men, has entered and taken
possession of the city. The Governor,
with a few guards, holds Kaisbah,
which Anfloos Intends to attack."
" TANGIElR, Morocco, Sept. 7. A revolu
tion Is in progress at Mogador. on the
Atlantic Coast of Morocco. The insur
gent tribes are attacking the town. The
FrenchMinister has sent the cruiser Gali
lee to the scene of the disturbances and
representatives of the other powers
have cabled for men-of-war. The repre
sentative of the Sultan here, Mohammed
el Torres, is trying to charter steamers
to take troops to Mogador.
The disturbances were caused by the
high-handed action of Anfloos Kaid in
supporting outside tribes in demanding
that Jews living in Mogador return to
Mellitah, the Jewish quarter, or other
wise their houses would be sacked.
These Jews have lived in the town
many years, but the Moorish, law re-

FRENCH BISHOPS AT CHURCH
First Cnited Mass Since Concordat
"Was Signed.
PARIS, Sept. 7. A -unique service,
which attracted an enormous congrega
tion, was celebrated at Notre Dame
Cathedral this afternoon after the con
clusion of the meeting of both bishops
and archbishops to discuss means of
complying with the law for the separa
tion of church and state without infring
ing on the constitution of. the church.
The entire church episcopate was pres
ent, this being the first occasion on which
they had gathered together in a metro
politan church since 1S02, when the con
cordat was signed. Archbishop Roverde
de Cabrleres, in the course of an address,
recalled that historic event, saying that
the recent reunion was brought about by
the rupture of that solemn contract. No
mention was made of the prelates' de
cisions. Minister of Public Instruction Briand, In
an interview in the Temps today, dis
played a conciliatory spirit. He said he
was prepared to receive a clerical dele
gation at any time, and believed that an
arrangement suitable to both the govern
ment and the church was possible, but
that he was determined to carry out the
law.
JESCITS WILL- ELECT TODAY
Father Meyer, ol St. Louis, Reported
Choice for General.
ROME, Sept. 7. Although the quadriv
ium of the Congregation of the Company
of Jesuits preparatory to the election of
a general of the order in succession to
the late Father Martin closed today, the
delegates remain in seclusion, not wish
ing to come in contact with external af
fairs until after the election, which will
occur tomorrow. This evening the dele
gates passed the hours walking in the
small garden of the college, rosaries in
band and praying without ceasing. All
the American delegates were in good
health.
The final preparations for the scrutiny
of the votes for general in the large hall
of the college have been completed.
Vicar Freddie announced this evening
that the mass which will immediately
precede the election will begin at S o'clock
Saturday morning.
The latest reports seem to Indicate that
the choice for general will fall upon
Father Rudolph J. Meyer, of St. Louis,
but the eecrecy which attends all the do
ings of the congregation is such that all
predictions are likely to fail.
This being the last day preparatory to
the election, additional prayers were of
fered by the delegates in their quarters
in the college and special prayers were
also said in all the Jesuit churches, prin
cipally at the Jesuit Hospital, before the
tomb of St. Ignatius and also before the
altar, where the arm of St. Francis
Xavier is preserved.

ventlon which resulted in my becoming Na
tional committeeman. Let us poll those
delegates. Let us have this poll made under
the direction of the Chief justice of the Su
preme Court of Illinois.
If the majority of those delegates will
support Mr. Bryan's present contention and
will say that I was elected to the National
committee by fraud, then I will resign, from
the National committee. On the other
hand and this I contend Is but a fair propo
sition It the majority of those delegates of
two years ago do not support Mr. Bryan's
alleeatlon of fraud, then I will Insist that
Mr. Bryan shall announce that he will no
longer be a candidate for the Presidency at
-the hands of the Democratic party. The
Ameriran people believe In fair play. Call
the roll.
