New York, Aug. SO — Another spe

was started for San Francisco last night
by James Farley, who has been em
ployed to put an end to the big street

Three Farley trains are now trying to

His expedition is being

supplies and surgical attendants. Sev
enty-five rounds of cartridges have been
ordered for the men, 1,000 revolvers of
heavy calibre have been furnished, and
only the pick of men seeking adventure
or high wages has been selected.
Farley w ill send a New York sur
geon, who w ill get in San Francisco a
staff of assistants. He has already
commissioned an agent to provide for
the men at New York and at cities be
tween here and Chicago, while other
commissary agents w ill look out for

Chicago, Ang. 30.— A sumptuously
furnished opium den, which both men

The den was found to

moet costly furniture. Dozens of be-
jsweied and silvei mounted opium
pipes and layouts were found and con
fiscated. Four persons were arrested.
About a dozen others epcaped through

Monarchists Want Dictator.
Moscow Aug. 30. — The M onarchal
party at Moscow, in an address to the
emperor just published, openly appeals
for a dictatorsnip, ‘ ‘ which w ill put an
end to the demoralization

pression of parliament and restoration
of unlimited autocracy.
Should His
Majesty insist on retaining the parlia

Cabanas Taken by Guerrera and Santa
Clara is in Danger.
Havana, Ang. S I. — The surrender
of some of the more vigoroas insurgent
lenders in the provincee of Matanxes
and Santa Clara, and the coming in of
a scattering few insurgents in response
to the government’ s offer of amnesty,
is vastly more than offset by the in
surgent sentiment
looking stronger
daily in the country districts of the
provinces of Havana, Pinar del Rio
end Santa Clara, which is now report
ed to be gaining headway in Santiago,
from which province, however, there
are as yet no reports of organised
bands.
The testimony of persona arriving
here from the country is unanimous to
the effect that the people are restless
and becoming more and more excited.
The talk of the towns i i of these who
have gone out to join the insurgents
and the chances of winning against the
government. There are grave doubts
of the loyalty of the recruits, especially
of negro recruits, who are suspected in
many quarters of a willingness to join
the other side, with which many of
their people are id en t'flfd.
The undeniable evidence of
the
growth o f insurrectionist sentiment is
causing increasing donbt as to whether
the government w ill, after all, be able
to cope promptly and successfully with
the movement, and there is much dis-
enssion of th i possibilities of a peaceful
settlement. Interest centers in a pro
jected meeting- of Cuban veterans and
other prominent men to consider the
question of approaching Pino Gnerrera
and other insurgent leaders of the L ib
eral party and members of the gov
ernment, with a view to ascertaining
whether the difficulty cannot be settled
through some compromise.

province of Pinar del Rio has spread
across the mountains to the north coast,
and the town of Cabanas is now in the
hands of the insurgents, who are te-
ported also to have gone in the direc
tion of Bahia Honda. The insurgents
took arms from a small detachment of
rnral guards, and captured 50 horses
which the governor bad requisitioned.
The government telegraph lines are in

How Governm ent Inspectors Will In

Washington, Ang. 31.— Owing to the
new meat inspection law, the number
of inspectors’ labels used w ill be more
than doubled.
Already the A gricu l

It is a thin sheet of

it. There is printed in blue letter a
legend like this: “ United States. In

The number
at the end is that of the abattoir in

makes it stick. In a short tim e the
