CUBAN REBELS
READY TO QUIT
And Will Soon Lay Down Their
Arms

Havana, Aug. 90. Investigation
shows that the statement made by
Senator Dolza, leader Of the moder-
ate party, at the conclusion OF con-
ference with President Palma, ct
midnight, TO the effect that practi-
cally all the insurgent leaders Of con-
sequence, except Pine Guerrero, had
signifled their willingness 20 dishand
their men II all were positively guar
anteed immunity for their insurrec-
tionary acts, was an exaggeration,
but the impression Is general that
the insurgents, with the exception Of
Gurrera, will shortly lay down their
arms.
Acting Secretary Of the Interior
Montlayo had long conference this
morning with General Rodriguez,
commander Of the rural guards, and
directed him to continue tho enlist
ment Of recruits and to push the pur.
suit Of the insurgents In all direc.
tions.
The only details received this
morning by General Rodriguez Of
the fight between the government
forces and the insurgents, near Glen
fugos, province Of Santa Clara, wer,
contained in a dispatch from Colonel
Vale, who commanded the detach
ment Of rural guards and the volun
teers engaged.
The dispatch says the insurgent
were completely routed, leaving man,
killed ON the field. According Z
the report the insurgents were en-
countered at the towns Of Abrens an'
Bodas. Guns, horses and ammuni
ton were left by the fleeing rebels
who were commanded by Guzma
and Portela. The report conclude
as follows:

Racine, Wis, Aug. 29.-Union la
or was dealt heavy blow by the de-
eision of Judge Chester A. Fowler in
the boycott suit for s25, 900 damages
brought by Baker Otto B. Schultz
AGAINST the Traders Labor council
and exacted from the boss bakers
by the union men, in an effort TO en-
force the closed shop, is held illegal;
the traders council and the individV-
al members are enjoined from using
the unfair list; the boycott is de-
clared an actionable conspiracy to
accomplish a criminal or unlawful
purpose; Baker Schultz is allowed
damages of $4,000 for the loss of
profits from the time of the COM
mencement of the boycCtting acts up
to the time of the trial, and $4,000
in damages for the amount of injury
to his business and property in rela-
ton to its selling value.
The decision is in part as follows
Gan boss bakers in the city signed
this agreement except the plaintiff,
who has steadfastly refused to do SO.
Upon the plaintiffs refusal to sign
concerted attack on his business was
begun by organized labor with the
object and purpose of compelling
him, against his will, to sign the
contract, and has been maintained
with more or less vigor up 20 the
present time.
The plaintiff has suffered per-
manent and all but destructive injury
TO his business which has been caused
by the combined acts and the attitude
of organized labor.
An injury to ones business ano
trade is on the same footing as an in.
jury to his tangible property, and tbs
law furnishes remedy for one a
we'll as the other.
1.-The acts complained of are, il
my view, plainly in violation Of sec
tion 400 A, Wisconsin statutes O
1898, as construed by the suprem,
court. This statute makes any tw,
or more persons who shall combine
associate, mutually undertake or con
cert together for the purpose Of vii
fully or maliciously injuring an
other, his trade or business, by an,
means whatsoever, or for the purpos
Of malliciOusly compelling another I

will, guilty Of an offence punishahi

partially masticated food in the
mouth, i" said DIR. Witter, land that
the stomach contained food that had
barely been swallowed when the blows
were struck. The man was unques-
tionably in the act Of eating when
slain.
'.The position Of the blows also
indicated this. Each of the six gashes
cut through the skull by the ak were
ON the back of the head, indicating
that he was bending over the table
when the weapon fell. There is
nothing to indicate a Struggle or eff.
fort at self defense, though the blood
on his hands when found was doubt
less caused by grasping his bleeding
head.
1.-THE skull was badly fractured on
each side, and the blows had cracked
it lengthwise from the forehead 10
the base.
Chief Waller says the boy confessed
the crime after telling a story that q
man from Sheridan, Wyoming, was
the real murderer.
1.-THE boy changed his story when
be saw l had not believed him, and
he told me he had committed the
crime. He told me that his father
was drunk and took him TO task for
not having a better education. The
boy siaid: 4 told him that he was
to blame for my not having better
education. l also told him that be
and his drinking habits had caused
all the trouble the family had had.
He became very angry and said it wa
my mother who had caused all the
family troubles and he began u
curse me. II was then that l got the
AK and killed him.
