Cuban Insurgents Capture Another
Ton From Government.
Havana, Aug. 1 4. Pino Querrera,
the insurgent leader in i'lnsr del Rio,
today followed op the capture of San
Luis, by taking San Juan de Martinet,
the terminu ol the Westers railroad,
and by threatening to wreck the rail
road and all it property 'unless the
company cease forwarding troop for
the government.
Alarmed by these insurgent success
es, the government ha ordered from
aa Ametlcaa arm manufacturing com
pany four rapid-fire gun and that
thee piece be manned by ex-member
ol the artillery branch ot the American
army now bar. If the gun prove
to be effective, four or mora additional
gun will be ordered, and It 1 expected
that experienced gunner will be pro
cured ia tbe United Btae to man them.
Tbe United State ha not been asktd
to do anything In the premise.
The subject of American intervention
is not much discussed her, and 1 re
gaided a a remote possibility, there
being general confidence that tbe gov
ernment will be able to restore order In

NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR ALL.
Deficiency In Appropriation for Ma
neuvers of Stat Troopa.
'Washington, Aug. 24. After a month
of hard work, Asaiatant Secretary Oliv
er, of tbe War department, concluded
that he had finally made a aatisfactory
adjustment of the many difficulties in
apportioning the appropriation of $700,-
000 for pay ot the militia at the ma
neuvers in different camp throughout
tbe country, but it appear that all ir
not satieiactory. In some case more
state troop than had been given in the
schedule were sent into tbe camps and
more expense was thus added. This
caused a deficit in the allotment o!
funds, especially in tbe matter of pay
for the state trxips. Tbe pay depart
ment of tbe army decided to pay the
troops as long as the funds lasted, those
who came last going nnpaid. Another
adjustment may be made after the
camps have finished their work, at
some camps may not use all the money
allotted to them and the funds can be
used to make up the deficit elsewhere.
It is possible that congress will be ask'
ed to make an appropriation to cover
the deficit and tbe state troops pain
next winter.

eight male loaded with dynamite and
tbat lately they bad received snppliee
from unknown sources. He positively
declared tbat fully a hundred mem
ber ol the rural guard had deserted

STORM FOLLOWED THE SHOCK.
Earthquara, Fir, Wind and Lightning
Terrified Valparaiso.
Valparaiso, Aug. 21. The loss of life
by the earthquake of Thursday, August
16, probably will not be short of 8,000,
while the property destroyed I esti
mated at $100,000,000, and probably is
far la xcts ol tbat sum.
Order I being maintained with th
utmost severity by the military, police
and armed cltlaen' patrols, -who are

Th authorities are showing th utmost
energy in th protection of prorrty.

FOREIGN CAPITAL TO REBUILD.
It
Interest Ar Larg and Chilean
Credit la Good.
New York, Aug. 22. Quaa Tonkin,
a Chilean civil engineer, who it now la
New York, aald last night:
'la Valparaiso local and fotelga In
terests ar so great that It is absolutely
certain the city will be rebuilt. Tbe
financial burden of rehabilitation will
not do tnrown on unite aione, out aieo
oa th numerous foreign Interests,
which Inclnda most of th nation of
th world. Ol tb foreign interest I
believe tb English will be the heavleat
loser, especially the many English Are
Insurance eompaolet that suffered inch
great losses In th destruction of San
Francisco. However, It most be kept
la mind tbat Chile enjoy very high
financial credit, especially In the Lon
don market, when ber bonds are quot
ed at 99J per cent. Tbe external debt
of Chile is about $105,000,000, which
has always been scrupulously served,
and it take only 21 per cent of the
Chilean government revenue to serve
this debt. The Chilean state railway
alone represents nearly a much th
external debt, while tbe salt petre
land represent four or five time as
much mora." ,
KUROPATKIN IS NEEDED.
Disgraced General Ha Full Confi
dence of Hi Soldier.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 22. Is General
Kuropatkin, once the pride of tb en
tire Russian army, war minister and
fighter by nature, hut whose laurels
were trampled under toot by tht vic
torious Japanee at Liaoyang, in tbe
earlier day of th fighting in Northern
Core and Manchuria, to be vindicated.
Tbat I th question uppermost In
tbe mind of every officer ol tbe army
tonight, and also the chief topic of dis
cussion at the military club, oa tb
question arising through th Indus
trious circulation ot a report tbat tbe
csar has sent for th general and In
tend to place him once again at the
bead of the department of War. Such
action would overthrow all ancient
Russian t-adition, but it is apparently
necessary.
Kuropatkin I th on man, and
probably th only on In all Russia,
who I in a position to reorganise tbe
army. Ha 1 loved by tbe common
soldier, who believes that he Is the
only officer of general rank who has
their interest at heart. It Intrusted
with the task of bringing back the al
legiance of the troop to th "Little
Father," he could do it, and the know
ledge that this I to I responsible for
tbe'belief bere that be is to come into
bis own again.
Since his return Irom tb front, a
disgraced and broken hearted man, the
general ha been in retirement at hit
mother's home, but it I gimerally ex
pected that be will toon be back ln the
capital In hi old position a minister
of war.
