Seven Already Killed by Russian
Troops at SiedIce, Poland.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 24-There is
great alarm in Jewish circles in Rus
sia over developments at Siedlce. Po-
land, where events seem to be shaping
up for the outbreak of a programme
similar to that at Bialystok. The de
yelopments parallel almost exactly the
preliminaries of the Bialystok mas
Sacre
A long series of revolutionary and
terroristic signs have been attributed
by the police to the Jews, eliminating,
as was the case at Bialystok, in the as
sassination of the chief of police. The
funeral of Chief Goltseff was the oc-
casion of great demonstration by the
Russian population. The condition of
feeling is shown by the refusal of Colt
seff's widow to receive a wreath sent
by a Jewish society as a mark of its
disapproval of the assassination. A
similar incident occurred at Bialystok
1t now develops that after the explo-
sion of bomb in a street of the He
brew quarter and which, according to
the official explanation, was accom-
panied by a revolver firing from four
Jewish houses, the troops opened a
general fusillade, in which seven Jews
and one Christian were killed and
many wounded. Thirty-th Jews
were arrested on the spot on suspicion
of completely in the bomb throwing and
firing. The Jews in panic are now
fleeing the city.

New York, Aug. 24-The Tribune
says
President Roosevelt is to be appeal
ed to by local -Cuban-Americans and
Americans with commercial interests
in Cuba to use his influence to end the
strife now in progress before these in
terests are interfered with, as 1t is
feared they will be. One word from
Ne president, assert the men who are
behind this movement, will suffice to
end the uprising.
Colonel Carlos NJ Aguirre, veteran
of the last revolution in Cuba, who is
apparently the leading spirit among the
local Cuban-Amerfcans who are op-
posed to the Palma regime, has drafted
q letter addressed to President Roose-
velt, which he will forward by special
messenger after he has obtained the
signatures of several Americans who
hold property In the island. This letter
calls attention to the many wrongs al
legged to have been suffered by the Lib
erals at the hands of the government
which, the author declares, are respon-
sible for the present uprising 1t calls
on President Roosevelt to appoint, by
the authority of the terms of the Platt
amendment commission to preside
at new election for president in
Cuba, charging that at the last election
the rights of people were ignored and
that the constitution was violated"

tie the Asragrian Question Before the
New Parliament Is Elected.
ST. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-The gov
ernment has decided to proceed with
the original plan outlined in dispatches
of Aug. for settling the agrarian
question regardless of parliament and
to go to the country upon the issue at
the coming election A member of
the cabinet who took part in confer
ences at Peterhof says that within a
fortnight an imperial ukase will be
issued directing the agrarian commits
sion to begin the distribution of 1,S00,-
900 dessiatines "a dessiatine is about
two and half acres) belonging to the
appanages, 100000 dessiatines be-
longing to the crown and 100000 des-
siatines of land offered through the
Peasants bank. Only the forests and
lands belonging to the state, the pres
ervation of which is considered neces-
sary for the future agricultural pros
perity of the country, will be reserved.
The transaction will be financed
through the Peasants bank. Little
cash will be required. The landlords
and other sellers will receive mar
ketable land notes, eventually redeem
able by the peasant purchasers in In
stallment notes intended to meet the
interest and amortization. The en-
peror will not give the land of the i'm
perial family: but, like other landlords,
he will accept notes.
Nearly all the present restrictions up
on the peasants as class will also be
removed. This in substance is the
governments bold bid for the support
of the Russian peasant millions against
the propaganda of the revolutionists.

The killing of the insurrectionary
leader, General Quentin Bandera, in
an engagement between rural guards
and a band of his followers is regard
ed as dealing the insurrection heavy
blow.
The government Is acting with ener-
gy in sending rural guards and volun-
and in dispatching $50 more men to
defend Pinar del Rio against Pine
Guerra. The capture of San Juan de
Martinez by Guerra's band was not
great surprise, though it was not ex-
pected to occur SO soon. The place
was protected by very small detach-
ment of rural guards, while Guerra's
strength was much greater. The TAX
ing of Pinar del Rio will be quite an
other matter, since there are in that
vicinity twice as many troops as the
insurgent Pine Guerra can muster. It
is regarded as more than probable that
the troops will take the offensive and
if possible draw Guerra into an open
fight.
While government re-enforcements
are going forward, Guerra's following
|fis not behaved to have been greatly
exaggerated by his occupancy of the
two yuelta Abajo towns.
Public Opinion Varies.
Public opinion appears to vary, ac-
cording to locality, from enthusiastic
adherence to the government to open
rebellion. In this city the general atti-
tude is one of loyalty. The opposition
and independent newspapers discuss
with analytical coldness the cry that if
the government is not able to squelch
the insurrection within two months
other forceful means must be en-
| ployed for the restoration of peace.
There are no ringing calls to arms.
The Moderate newspapers print with
approval the resolutions declaring adj
hesion to the government by their par
ty organizations, but there has been
nothing which could be fairly describ-
ed as general rising of the people in
defense of the government
Bandsra a Famous Fighter.
General Quentin Bandera was killed
In a conflict at the Silveira farm, near
Punta Bravo, fifteen miles from Ha-
vana. A detachment of thirty-eight
mounted rural guards, under Captain
Y<~.o ~, .J~ NFa,
nez, had been searching throughout the
night for Bandera's party. When the
rural guards were breaking through a
! wire fence at the edge of the Silveira
farm they were suddenly fired upon by
Bandera's twenty followers. The
guards rushed upon the insurgents, but,
with the exception of their chief and
his two leading comrades they all sue
! ceeded In getting away. The guards
made the chief and his companions n
special object of attack, and they all
! three received several bullet wounds
and were horribly mntilated by ma
J chete cuts. Not one of the guards was
wounded. The bodies of Bandera and
his companions were placed in a wagon
and taken to Havana.
Bandera was about sixty years old
He took part in the ten years war, as
