The first encounter in Santa Clara
province occurred this morning. A de-
tachment of Rural Guards attacked an
insurgent band. commanded by Manuel
Gonzalez, between Santo Domingo and
Colon. The insurgents were scattered
and some of their arms and ammunition
were captured.

Jose Miguel Gomez, who was candi-
date for the Presidency last fall, and
who was arrested August 21 at his
residence. near Sancti Spiritus, prov
ince of Santa Clara, arrived here from
Bataambo on a special train early this
morning and had been escorted to the
City Jail before his arrival in this city
became known.
Gomez. in an interview in the City
Jail later in the day, said: It declare
that 1 have never had any knowledge
of this unfortunate conflict and that IL
I had conspired against President Pal

sufficient pride to boldly admit it now.

of the most critical situation which has
developed in Cuba since IL became a
free republic, the attitude of the United
States Government is regarded as thor
oughly niystifying. The most notable
feature of the situation here is the
studied Indifference which officials pro-
fess toward the crisis. This is the
more remarkable because before this
Cuban events of slight Importance COM
pared with the present revolution have
caused apprehension in the State De-
partment.
Underlying the professed indifference
there are signs of activity in the State
and War departments which may have
bearing on the possible Intervention OF
the United States under the provision
of the Platt amendment.
Robert L. Bacon, Assistant Secretary
of State, quietly left the department
today and 1T was later said that it was
believed he had gone to his home on
Long Island. He lives at Westhury, and
If he does go there II Is likely he will
go also to Oyster Bay. The Cuban sit
uation is the only cloud now visible on
the diplomatic horizon which would
seem to require a consultation with the
President, who wishes a quiet summer.
General j. Franklin Bell. chief Of
staff of the army, returned this morn
ing from MS trip 10 oyster Day. Al
though 1T is insisted that he went there
to talk to the President of the situa-
tion at Brownsville. Tex, where colored
troops have been ill-treated by white
citizens, some persons cannot rid them
selves of thought that the situation in
Cuba was also under consideration.
If the President wished to know how
quickly a force could be thrown into
Cuba and where IL could operate to
best advantage General Bell is the
man he would naturally ask about It,.
There has been absolutely no develop
ment in regard to Brownsville as re-
suit of General Bells conference with

Proposal Not Looked Upon
With Favor by the British
English Newspapers Denounce the
Carnegie Jargon' Given Birth
in the United States.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-President Roose-
velt's decision to adopt the reformed
spelling In his messages and executive
correspondence is comm ented on by the
newspapers of London this morning In
anything but sympathetic spirit. The
Standard bluntly declares that the
President overrates his powers, adding
that ii declines to believe the scholarly
and cultivated Americans will Sacrifice
the history and meaning Os the
language by adopting the carnegie
jargon."
Other newspapers deal with the mat
ter IN a humorous vein. The Daily
News points out that IL American pub
fishers wish to Invade the British mar
ket they should be conservative in
their orthography. The Chronicle,
which has more sympathy with some
of the changes, says:
Whether we like the new spelling
or not it probably will be forced upon
us, because the United States is COM
ing more and more into control of the
printing presses Of the English speak
ing world II only President Roosevelt
can establish uniformity in America on
the lines he prescribes the new spelling
will be likely to become dominant in
Great Britain, but as ..e Is strong he
might have been merciful and sum
moned an Anglo-Americen congress to
endeavor 70 arrive at an agreement on
a common mode of spelling SO that the

lish should be the same.

Chicagoan Sees a Possible

He Is Poor Speller and Would

SPECIAL DIspATcH TO THE CALL.


CHICAGO, Aug. "a. - President
Roosevelt's action in the matter Of
spelling aroused considerable discus
sion in Chicago today.
I'm against It," said Superintendent
of Schools E. G. Cooley. Whenever I
see one of those confounded words on
a page 1t haunts me four or five lines
ahead and as many after. 1t gives
me a pain
I'm against 1t. l don't go into any
such rot" said School Trustee George
Duddleston today. The good English
spelling is good enough for me-"
It's a subtle question" said DIR.
Corneua De Bey, who is also a school
trustee. You see. the whole point is
that the present method of spelling
is not reasonable. ITO determine the
photography of words by the aural
sense instead of the visual would seem
to be the natural way. ! am a poor
speller myself and therefore an ad-
vocate of any system which would
disturb the rest of the people for a
little while, thus putting US all on an

is a fine thing. L heartily commend

New Spelling May Cause
Conflict in Washington
Congressman and Justices Of the
Supreme Court Not Bound
by the Change.
spEcIA1 DISPATCH 40 rne cALL.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-The capi-
tai is discussing little else tonight but
the Presidents order directin g the use
of the reformed spelling advocated by
the committee appointed by Andrew
Carnegie. Nearly everybody in the
city is affected. The only exceptions
are the Justices of the Supreme Court,
congressman and employees of the
legislative branch OF the Government.
There are about 800 words in the
list, and every person in the executive
brancA of the Government service must
learn the new spelling. Justices of the
Supreme Court and Congressman may
spell in any way that seems good to
them.
There is opportunity for a conflict
between the President and the ex-
ecutive and judicial branches of the
Government. The question immediate
ly arises. VIII the public printer fol-
low the style ordered by the President,
or will he follow copy sent him by
Congressman and Justices of the Su-
preme Court?
The new order has not been re-
ceived yet. but the public printer ex-
poets to receive II II, the morning. He
has had several talks with the Presi-
dent on the subject and is personally
in sympathy with the scheme.

The suit in Milwaukee was brought
by Ira NJ Cobe and z. W. McGraw, the
latter an attorney Of the Milwaukee
Mechanics Company in San Francisco.
The following is part of their pc
tition
Your orators allege that they are
advised that under the law they are
entitled TO have recourse for the sat
isfaction Of their claims only against
the fund set apart for that purpose by
the Insurance Commissioner Of Wiscon-
sin, and that they have no right against
any other fund belonging TO the said
defendant and that there are more
than 1000 claimants and persons and
corporations who have suffered losses
by fire during and prior to the eXten-
sive confagration hereinafter men
toned (Ssn FranciscO) and who and
which have claims only against the
said fund.
At the time Of the fire the assets of
the company, as set up in the suit, were
S317S.S61.46. The capital stock was
5000 600 and risks amounting to s232,-
600 600 were carried.
Some Of the losers by fire have ac-
Cepted the 20 cents on the dollar that
Attorney Spence. acting for stockhold-
ers, came TO San Francisco to offer in
settlement for losses. Many more have
not accepted. The information from
Chicago about the personal liability of
stockholders may result in having pol
icy-holders represented before the
court at Milwaukee, where the suit is
pending.

SAN JUAN DE MARTINEZ, Cuba.
Aug. 24.-This town, which on Thurs
day was occupied by a band of In
surgents under command of Pine
Guerra, is again In possession OF the
constituted forces of the republic. At
$50 o'clock this evening the troops
under command of Colonels Baccalao
and Ayalo arrived here from Pinar del
Rio, but news of their coming had
preceded them by several hours and by
noon the last of Guerra's men had
left, taking with them all the horses
they could gather. The Government
troops now here consist of ESQ artil-
lerymen and fifty raw recruits. They
are quartered in the churches and
public buildings. The town Is quiet.

The Government has cabled to Gen
eral Rius Rivera. Minister to Central
and South American countries, to re-
turn Immediately to Cuba.
General Jose Miguel Gomez. at his
formal arraignment today, denied the
allegation that he had engaged In q
conspiracy against the Government.
There is no foundation in fact for
the rumor in circulation tonight that
the Government has begun negoti-
ations with Pine Guerra.

FEAR GUERRA'S STRENGTH.
There is grave doubt whether the
force of Government troops now at
San Juan de Martinez will be able to
withstand an attack by the forces of
Pine Guerra.
Aside from slight encounters in the
provinces of Havana and Santa Clara,
nothing of Importance has transpired
there today. The enlistment of rural
guards and volunteers Is going on
very slowly In the provinces, but in the
city of Havan enlistments are some
what better. The City Council this af-
ternoon appropriated $4,000 for the
support of the city militia where there
are two divisions the interior and ex-
terror, under command of General San
chez Agramonte.
The Government expects that the
steamer Mexico. which will sail from
New York on Saturday, will bring eigh-
teen rapid-fre guns, 10,000,ooo car
tridges and 10000 Lee rifles.
