This, however, is not confirmed The government’ s extra expenses since August 19 have been $270,000. Aside from sligh t encounters in the provinces of Havana and Santa Clara, nothing of importance has transpired here. The enlistm ent ol rural guards and volunteers is going on very slowly, in the provinces, but in the city of Havana enlistments are somewhat bet ter. The city council has appropriated 150.000 for the support of the city militia, of which there are two d ivis ions, the interior and the exterior. The government expects that the rteimer Mexico, which w iil sail from New York today, w ill bring eight rapid-fire guns, 10,000,000 cartridges and 12,000 Lee rifles. The government force in the city of Pinar del Rio consists o f 250 artillery men and 150 guards. T h e inhabitants of the city of P in ar del R 'o are re ported to be loyal and it is said that moat of them are armed and w ill assist the troops in resisting an attak on the part of the insurgents.

The wounded include M. 8tolypin’ s 3-year old son, who is seriously if not fatally injured, and a number of per sons prominent in the society and offi cial world. Of the four conspirators who engi neered the outrage, two were killed with their victims, while the third, who acted as coachman for the party, and the fourth, who remained inside the carriage, were badly wounded. Whether the assassins who entered the crowded reception ball threw the bomb or accidentally dropped it prob ably w ill never be known, aa all the immediate eye witnesses were killed. The tremendous force of the explosion absolutely blew out the front of the premier’ s residence, and carried away the ceilings above and the floors be neath and the walla of the adjoining rooms. People were literally blown to pieces. Those who were not killed instantly were horribly mangled and the others were prostrate by the shock. The pre m ier’ s escape was miraculous, for only a moment before the explosion he had stepped inside his study at the rear of the salon to speak to Prince Shakovsky. Although he was but slightly injured, he is completely prostrated by the ca lamity. The havoc wrought by the explosion was indescribable. Bodies were so torn or mangled as to make identification impossible, some of them headless, armless or legless, lying among the blood-dripping wreckage. R A ILW A Y G IA N T S C LA S H , S 2 5 .0 0 0 .0 0 0 Cash and St. Paul Road is the Prize at Stake. Chicago, Aug. 27.— A special to the Tribuue from New York says: A financial battle, with $25,000,000 in cash and the control of the Chicago, Milwaukee A 8t. Paul Railway system is on between J. Pierpont Morgan and E. H Harriman. In the battle are involved twice aa many millions of dollars and three times as many thousands of miles of railroads as were represented in the famous fight for the possession of the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy, which resulted in the memorable Northern Pacific corner, when the price of that stock was rushed up to $1,000 a share and a panic in W all street followed. The opposing force* consist of J. P. Morgan, James J. H ill and their friends, foreign capitalists, on one side, and E. H . Harriman, practical owner of the Union Paclfic-8outhern Pacific roads, with Sir W illiam Van Horne, Sir Thomas Bhaughnessy, as controllers of the vast Canadian Pacific system, with their friende, on the other. Re maining neutral for the time being, but inclined to throw their weight to Har riman, are James H . Smith and W il liam Rockefeller, as principal stock holders in the 8t. Paul. On the outcome of the war depends whether the St. Paul road is to be ex tended to the coast, for which purpose a new $25,000,000 stock issue was voted, in a northerly direction, and so seriously injure the traffic of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific systems, or southerly, to impair the future pro fits of the Union and Southern Pacific. Early this summer there was a mys terious banchiDg ol thres Pacific coast lines stock. Before Harriman or H ill could discover who were the purchas ers, the Canadian Pacific had obtained sufficient interest in the road to wield the balance of power._______ _ Guerrera Gets Ammunition.
