At tha moment today when the government was issuing its proclamation offering pardon to rebels who would lay down their arms, its forces wtre dealing the most telling blow that has yet been attack against the insurgents in tha field. For seve ral days it had been stated that General Guxroan'a force of insurgents, which was variously estimated at from 200 npward, contemplated an attack on Cienfuesoa. Cjlonel Valla, with a de tachment of rural guards, was dis patched to Cienfuegos fcr the purpose of engaging Guxman and breaking np the band. The encounter of the two forces resulted in tha worst disaster which the insurgents have sustained np to this time. They lost 17 men killed and many wounded, while the loss to the government force was one man killed. Tha government ia without further particulars of the fight. That the insurrection is in a shaky condition seems to be a lact, although the end may not be as near as mem bers of the government forces profess to believe. Pino Guerrera, tha insur gent leader operating in the province of Pinar del Rio, in a signed statement telegraphed to tha Associated Press to night, declares that he is as determined as ever that the last presidential elec tion shall be annulled before there can be peace in Cuba. That Guerrera'a force of 2,000 men is well armed and supplied with food and ammunition ia amply verified. Its greatest drawback ia now lack of mon ey, but the people of the western part of Pinar del Rio are furnishing it with all the supplies needed, 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 mora is expected from New Orleans. It s reported that Guzman'a force, the vaognard 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. arias Get Material for Cheap Caksa and Pastry.

Health officials today brought to light a factory where mat which antedate even tha oldest chorus girl are "reprocessed," mixed, deodorised, ground, pulverised and sifted and finally sold to bakeia all over the land, and even to one great trans Atlantic steamship line, for cooking puipoees. To keep out tha inquisitive and to keep in the smells, w bieh are something fierce, the factory is a vast system of trap doors and secret pas sages, ana the business is sucn inai goods are never shipped in tha name of the purchaser, but to his initials only. Admission to the third floor showed two small girla at woik breaking evil smelling eggs into cans. The stench is powerful from thia point to tha end of the investigation. Tha eggs which are need for food are supposed to have been carefully culled by a "candler." Those which are called beyond eating go into another receptacle to make tanning oil. The mesa of broken eggs, which the in spectors have labeled "unwholesome," Is dumped into a separator and the shells are extracted. The liquid goes to the fourth floor. The loft is fitted op with condens er. Eight rolls, three feet by four or five, and each cut so as to give all the surface possible, are in constant mo tion. Vats ef eggs are raised so that the rolls are covered, and air at a tem perature of 104 degrees is forced over the mass. The eggs stick to the rolls and are dried out. This product is scraped loose, sifted and sold to bakers. The man in charge of the rolls never needs an egg shampoo. It is not ne cessary. Today he carelessly rubbed his fingers through bis hair shortly after reaching into the liquid to pre vent ita clogging the rolls. Goods have been shipped to "N. B., St. Joseph, Mo."; "F. Suhmid, Atlan ta, Ga.," and "II. M. R., Philadel phia." Other goods have been shipped to Texas, and Portland, Or., as well as to a trans-Atlantic steamship line. It takes four dosen eggs to make a pound of the "reprocessed" material. Chief Murray has other plants under surveillance. The product of the one discovered will be soaked in kerosene tomorrow.

Valdea island is covered with a mag nificent growth of first-class timber, and many local timber holders have large claims there. Tha fire's pres ence on the island has caused anxiety in local business circles, which is all the more heightened by the fact that nothing can stop it. Rain is badly needed along the coast. Fire Warden McKay stated 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 waa destroyed will have no access to the water until new roads and bridges are built. "Ths people in tba vicinity," said Mr. McKay, "will be practically destl tute this winter unless something is done very quickly to relieve them and to aid them in building new roads and bridges." agency to the bank directois secretly.

It is believed that Stensland is prac tically in the custody of detectives and that they are waiting a favorable op portunity to kidnap him and avoid ex tradition. It became public today that the detectives have traced the move ments of Stensland from his home when ha left Chicago. A black trunk which be took aided the detectives.

Tha decision will have no very far reaching effect, for it has uot bten generally enforced or ob serveu. a test case was brought op from Umatilla county, with the result that there ia one more ray of light cast upon tha problems of tax legislation in Oregon. The decision will likely be of advantage in some rnepests to the legis lature of 1907, which will give particu ar attention to the enactment of tax laws. mieny stated, the twuo statute was declared void because it ia a revenue tax law and not a license law. It possessed the language and elements a tax law and not of a license law.

"Farmer, are this year buying their sacka to a greater extent than ever be fore," he say., "and they are under no obligation, to any buyer. They are entirely free to .ell when they can get the highest price.

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 th fourth, who remained inside the carriage, were badly wounded. Whether the assassins who entered the crowded reception hall threw tha bomb or accidentally dropped it prob ably will never be known, at all tha immediate eya witnesses were killed. The tremendous force of the explosion absolutely blew out the front of the premier', residence, and carried awav th ceiling, above and th. floor, be neath and the wall, of the adjoining rooms. People were literally blown to piece.. Those who were not killed instantly were horribly mangled and the othera were prostrate by the shock. The pre mier's escape was miraculous, for onlr a moment before the explosion he had stepped ins de his ttuiy 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 tha blood-dripping wreckage.
