- urbs American Jackles
Beady to Land.
. HAVANA. Sept 12. The Insurgents In
Plnar del Rio and Santa Clara Provinces
today signalized tne resumption of war
by blowing up railroad bridges, blocking
traffic and committing other acts of de
struction. The event of today in Havana was the
arrival late this afternoon of the United
States protected cruiser Denver. When
the flag on Morro Castle signaled the ap
proach of the American warship, the
news spread with rapidity throughout the
city, and large crowds hastened to the
wharves. Immediately after the Denver
anchored Ensign Blakeley was sent
ashore to the American legation to notify.
Charge d'Affaires Sleeper of her arrival
and that she was at the legation's serv
ice. Asked as to the Denver's available
landing force In case of necessity. Com
mander Wells said that, while he carried
no marines at present, she had 150 well
drilled and armed sailors and several field
guns, which could be put ashore on 15
minutes' notice.
Railroad Bridges Blown Up.
The resumption of activities in the field
thus far has principally affected railroad
property. In Pinar del Rio Province, the
Western railway bridge at Taco Taco was
partly destroyed. The bridge over the
Santa Clara River, which was recently
damaged by insurgents, is being repaired,
while being guarded by Major Clews' rapid-fire
gunners. Railroad communication
with Western Plnar del Rio Province Is
row wholly cut oft. It is believed that
this Is not the work of Pino Guerrera's
men, but of others working In co-operation
with him.
A railroad bridge on the line of the
Cuban Central road between Cruces and
Las Ajas, near the Trinidad sugar es
tates, managed by O. B. Stlllman, of New
York, has been blown up. The manager
of this railroad reports that insurgents
also are taking stores.
Alarmed About Santa Clara.
It Is known that the government re
gards the situation in Santa Clara Prov
ince as even more dangerous than In
Plnar del Rio on account of the number
of insurgents in the former province, who
are now variously estimated at from 8000
to 12.000.
More fighting was reported today in the
vicinity of Consolaclon del Sur.
Fighting Near Havana.
Several minor fights are reported this
evening, two of them quite near Havana.
At Luyana, Just Bouth of Havana Bay,
200 shots were exchanged between rural
guards and a band of Insurgents. The
latter dispersed. Near Punta Brava, west
of Havana, there was a hot skirmish,
details of which have not yet been re
ceived. In a fight today near Santa Clara
City, three insurgents were killed, one
was wounded and seven were captured.
Veterans Hold Down Santiago.
General Salvador Rlos, a prominent
veteran, declared upon' his return - here
from Manzanlllo, in Santiago province,
that all the veterans of the eastern part
of the Island would hold together and
maintain peace in the province, apart
from any action by the Government.
Carlos Masso, a former police captain
of Havana, and Diego Franchl, a former
Mayor of Guanabacoa, have joined the
rebels.
Alfred Zayas, president of the Liberal
party and vice-president of the Cuban
Senate, who is supposed to have joined
the insurgents, cannot be found In Ha
vana. General Menocal has given the follow
ing statement to the local press:
"I regret to advise you that the veter
ans who have been considering the peace
negotiations have suspended their efforts
on account of the insuperable obstacles
encountered. In returning to our homes
we hope that others more able and more
lucky may be more successful."

dert Bros., Lorenzo Semple and Captain

pose of arranging plans for arbitration

PULL HERSELF OFF
Manchuria's Own Power to Be
Used to Float Her.
GREAT HOPE OF SUCCESS
Original Methods Tried to Save the
Great Liner From Destruction.
Little Damage Done by
Rocks and Waves..
HONOLULU, Sept. 12. Preparations
are almost complete to make another at
tempt to float the Pacific Mail liner Man
churia, which stranded on Rabbit Island.
The steamer's hold has been pumped full
of water to weight her. Captain MetcaJf
has placed seven heavy anchors, to which
lines will be run from the Manchuria's en
gines, and the vessel will use her own
power to pull herself off the reef. Three
hundred stevedores have been placed
aboard to Jettison the coal, which has
been brought on deck to facilitate quick
unloading.
When the signal is given, the vessel
will quickly be lightened by four power
ful pumps, which will take out the water,
the coal will be thrown overboard and the
Manchuria's anchors will drag on the
lines attached to the seven anchors hold
ing on the ocean's bed. The full power of
the stranded steamer's own engines will
be augmented by those of the revenue
cutter Manning and the tugs Restorer
and Iroquois, which have firmly anchored
and connected hawsers between the ves
sel and the anchors on which the Man
churia will pull.
The vessel's cargo has been removed
and she Is still but little damaged. There
is considerable confidence ' that she can
be floated. The attempt, however, prob
ably will not be made before Friday or
Saturday.

If It Did, Mrs. Oelrichs Will Contest
Husband's Will.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs, widow of the North German
Lloyd agent and administrator of the
Fair Estate, Is undecided whether to con
test her hushand's will, according to a
statement made by James W. Gerard, her
attorney, today. Mr. Gerard said:

estate he leaves was Oelrichs' family
money or accumulations he received as
compensation or gift from his wife and
her sister, Mrs. Vanderbllt. As adminis

"THE
novel most worth
year's fiction
and in the management of the estate of
the late Senator Fair, it is possible that
Mr. Oelrichs accumulated a considerable
estate. If the larger part of his accumu
lations did come from the two Fair
estates, then Mrs. Oelrichs 4s determined
that her son shall be a beneficiary and
she will start a contest to break the will,
either In her own name or as guardian
for her boy.
"If the estate as willed has not been
derived from Fair money, but is Oelrichs'
family accumulations, properly speaking,
Mrs. Oelrichs will not contest either for
her dower right, community rights under
the California laws or ; as guardian of
her son."
Mr. Gerard said that Mrs. Oelrichs' trip
to the Coast was not made to file a will
antedating the one filed here last' week.
Mrs. Oelrichs went to San Francisco to
be appointed administratrix of her 'bro
ther, Charles L. Fair," said Mr. Gerard.
"The office of administrator became va
cant upon the death of her husband.
There is still some hundreds of thousands
of dollars of Charles L. Fair's estate un
divided between his heirs, Mrs. Oelrichs
and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbllt."
