CONFLICTING REPORTS.
Difficult to Get the Status of the
Cuban Rebellion.

HAVANA May. 3.-A dispatch from Hol-
guin says that all the rebels, including the
two Sartorius brothers. have surrendered
themselves at Castro Verades. The party
consisted of only thirty men.
LONDON. May 3.-A Madtid cable from
the Captain General of Cuba is published,
in which lie cOnfesses that his forces are in
adequate TO quell the uprising. Instead of
the 1900 troops he was supposed to have,
he has less than 5000, which. even under
normal conditions, cannot be considered
strong enough the cavalry, most required
in campaign of this sort, being especially
weak.
He adds that several insurgents have
yielded, and repeats the rebellion is not
spreading, but is confined to the country
around Holguin, 800 miles from Havana.
The towns of Holgun and Santiago de
Cuba remain loyal
The Spanish Minister of War. besides ar
ranging for the embarkation of seven reg
ments, has ordered other regiments now
stationed in The interior to concentrate at
various seaports in case further REINFORCE
ments should be necessary.
1t is reported that the whole Spanish
squadron at New York is to be dispatched
TO patrol the coast around Santiago with
orders to cut off the insurgents completely
from communication with Cuban exiles,
and thus prevent the latter from executing
the supposed project of sweeping down
upon the island with re-snforcements for
the rebels.
MADRID, May 3.-A dispatch from Cuba
says that an armed band headed by the
brothers Sartorius yielded to the Spanish
authorities The band consisted of only
twenty-aine men. The only armed filibus-
tiers stil resisting the Government are
one leader OF Gale and two men. One OF
the brothers Sartorius offered to negotiate
for their submission. The revolt is now con-

NO CLERICAL SUPPORT
Won Caprivi Is Fighting Hard for
the Army.
If the Bill Is Set Aside the Reichstag
viii Be Forthwith Dis
solved.


BERLIN. May 3-The members of the
Center party had an uproarious meeting
tonight to consider the proposition, sup
ported by Won Huenes, as TO the terms on
which the Center would support the army
bill in the Rechstag. The meeting was
most exciting and resulted in the rejection
Of Won Huenes' proposition by an enor-
nous majority. Count Won Hallesterem
thereupon resigned as leader of the Center.
and Count Won Preysin ng-Liehtenberg-Moo
Of Straubing was elected to sucreed him.
Afterward 1t. was decided the members
should vote according TO their individual
convictions.
In the Rechstag Capriyi declared that the
Government would endeayor. by every cor
sttutiOnal means, TO secure the passage Of
the army bill. Continuing, the Chancellor
said that the Federal Government had
resolved to employ all constitutional means
in their power to attain their object. The
rejection of the bill will create abroad an
i'm preston that there is weakness here.
in the name of the empire and in the
name of Prussia" continued the Chan
celIor, II announce that Won Huenes' pre-
pOsals are acceptable to u.s."
The fate of the bill was the theme of ex-
cited discussion in the lobDes of the Reich
stag. The Government, it is said. has
informed the army oil committee that if
the bill is rejected the Reichstag will be
forthwith dissolved. the remaining business
of the session being set aside.

EIGHT HOURS A DAY.
Gladstone Will Yield That Much
to Ulster.
The Premier Shows a Willingness to
Do Anything in Reason for
Northern Ireland.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

LONDON, May 3.-In the House of Com
mons today Samuel Woods. Labor NJ. P.
for Southwest Lancashire and vlce-presi-
dent of the National Federation of Miners,
presented a bill establishing eight hours as
a legal days work in mines. 1t was read
second time.
Gladstone commented on the probable
effect of the measure. He did not believe.
he said, dminutiOn of the output would
produce an increase in wages.
All were agreed, he said, that IL was not
a party question:, and the Government could
not be identified with it. He personally was
unwilling to interfere with the freedom of
adult labor. but the present case seemed 10
justify an exception to the general principle.
since the majority OF miners favor the pro-
posed restriction. He would. therefore.
support the bill under reservations. and
would not consent 10 the extension of its
provisions TO Northumberland and Durham.
where there was strong opposition to the
proposed limitation.
Gladstone. having been asked whether
the Government was prepared to apply the
same principle of local option to the gov
ernment of Ireland which was proposed to
apply to the question of eight hours in The
HlHeS ItinlHueu tHo IOuoe III SUBMITTING <
the Irish homC-rule bill that he expressed
his Willingness to entertain such proposi-
ton il Ulster so desired.
The Government. Gladstone said, never
has Withdrawn from this position, although,
of course, the Government has not tried to
give it effect in view of the dissemination
of the people of Ulster to accept such plan.
The eight-hour bill for miners passed to
second reading BY n vote Of 279 TO 2O1.
