HAVANA, Sept. 7,-All peace over
lures are blocked by the refusal OF
Guerrero to enter into any arrangements
for an armistice. Guerrera's answer
to the governments announcement OF
an agreement to grant ten days. ar
mistiee is the blowing up of two bridge:
on the Western Railway and an at
tack on San Juan de Martinez
1t is said tonight that San Juan de
Martinez is in the hands of the insur-
gents, and the garrison consisting of 100
recruits and small force of rurals,
has been defeated or captured. The fact
that other leaders of the insurrection
are willing to agree to an armistice,
can have little effect so long as Guer-
rera is determined to prosecute the war,
and there is slight doubt in any quar-
ter that Guerrero can control the stu
alton in his own regino.
His force is reported by all those who
have visited him to range from three
to four thousand men, all well mount
ed and some well and some indifferently
armed. The government force oppos-
ing numbers 2,200 men and three ma
chine guns. Guerrero refused point
blank to accept an armistice, unless the
last presidential election and congress
sional election shall be annulled. That
the government will consent to this is
out of the question, and tonight pros
poets are for a continuance of the war.
Manager Livesey, of the Western
Railway tonight informed the Associated
Press that a special train carrying ma
chine guns to Pinar del Rio turned back
at Las Sovras, where it was found a
freight train preceding it had been held
up by the rebels. The troop train was
unable to pass and after exchanging fire
with the rebels, returned to Las Fa-
licas.

Mr. Heney put two of the witnesses

their testimony on the ground that the

asked that their anewcrs to certain

tor.
lie then directed Irwin Ritenhouse
to tell Special Inspector Neuhausen to
issue subpocnas for all the rest of the
witnesses in the former Williamson trial.
Evidence was introduced against
Williamson at last nights session by
the testimony of DIR. Andrew C. Smith.
Of this city. The testimony Of DR..
Smith went long ways toward estab.
fishing Wlliamson's connection with the
scheme. His story was that in 1909
Williamson approached him and sold
him one.third interest in $4,000 acres
of school lands He told him there
was likelihood of forest reserve
being created and when asked how he
knew said he was In a position to know.
DIR. Smith testified that he lost over
$4,000 in the deal. The certificates for
the land were placed In trust in the
IIibernia bank of this city and have
since been Cancelled by the state.
Along the same line with this testi-
mony was that of Senator Sig Sichel,
this forenoon. He testified that Will
hanson sold him his third of the school
land certificate in 1909, for which he
gave hi mtwo checks, amounting in all TO
$4,000. Williamson pointed out to him,
80 the witness said, that by nm act of
the Legislature, increasing the price
of school land from $l25 to 1925, the
land had nearly doubled in value, Caught
by such agument as this, Mr., Siehel
turned over the checks and the deed
was done. Absolved from the burden OF
holding the school land certificates, Mr.,
Williamson aftcrward, it is alleged, for
warded to Washington the protests
against the creation of the proposed re,

Makes Serious Allegation.


lie accuses Bryan of dishonesty, in
sincerity and mtruthfulness, both in his
attitude toward the Illinois Democracy
and in his speech about Sullivan. "The
very first paragraph Sullivan says, "in
Bryan's epeech on me and the Illinois
situation contains deliberate untruth,
Practically every succeeding paragraph
contains another deliberate untruth or
equivocation OF the kind we may ex.
pect only from n shifty word.juggling
pettifogger'
In upholding his contention that he
was entitled to a seat in the last ma.
tion Democatic convention, Sullivan says
Bryan and his associates made the state
ment that some five hundred delegates in
the Springfield convention signed petit
tions or letters repudiating the action
of that convention, "They never" Sui
livan continues, presented any such
number to the credentials committee of
the national convention, They present
ed some, 1t is true, but the other side
at the same time, presented telegwms
and aflidavits certifying that nearly all
the signatures presented by Bryan and
his associates were forgeries,"
Impugns Bryan's Party Fealty.
Sullivan accuses Bryan with having
advised his particular friends in Illinois
to bolt the Democratic ticket and asks:
as this the measure of Bryan's party
fealtyH Is this the way Bryan pro-
poses to help elect Democratic con-
gressi'
To Bryan's charge that Sullivan
makes money out of politics and the
inference that making money out of
politics is wrong, Sullivan responds that
Bryan should quit making money.
Bryan has not one dollar that he ever
made out of anything but politics, He
tried to be lawyer. He was q failure |
at it. He tried to be newspaper
editor. He was failure at that. As
fortunes go, he is rich man, He
made every dollar out of politics as a
stepping stone to the lecture platform"
In 1t For "Gate Receipts"
Sullivan says that Bryan is in pol
tics because it helps his gate receipts"

with his genial personality have made
him solid with the Democratic voters

DRAW BRIDGE OVER YAzOO.

In response to a request from
Washington county, the Attorney
General has rendered an opinion re-
specting the building of draw bridge
over the Yazoo river, near Belzoni,
Washington county, and between the
counties of Washington and Holmes.
This bridge was authorized by the last
Congress, and the inquiry made of
the Attorney-General was as to the
expenses of the same and the proper
tion of expense that each county
should bear in building and maintain
ing the bridge. The Attoney-Gen-
eral points out that the question is
well settled by the code which pro-
vides that in such cases the boards of
supervisors of the two counties inter-
ested, shall meet and agree upon the
cost and the share that shall be borne
by each county and the share of the
cost of maintenance and repairing that
shall be paid by each county. The
Attorney-General declined to suggest
what each county should pay in the
premises and submits that the two
boards of supervisors must agree on
| the subject,

GEOL 0GICAL INVESTIGATION.

Prof. Calvin S. Brown, of the State
University, at Oxford, spent several
days in Holmes county this week care
fully examining the geological char
acteristics of the county.
Under the appropriation made by
the last Legislature, he, in conjunction
with Prof. Crider, of the University,
and Prof, W. N. Logan, of the A. &
M. College, are making a thorough
investigation of the geological forma-
tions in the State, and everything
pertaining thereto. Among the OBJ
jects of particular interest in this i'm
mediate neighbOrhood, he examined
the petrif9d trees on R. B. Gwin's
place, and also the Ignite on the
Redmond place, which has been on
fire for number of years. This lig-
mite he pronounced of very little
commercial value, being too brittle to
be transported. and the vein small.
An excellent quality of clay is there,
however, and if a pottery, or similar
enterprise, were established on the
ground, the Ignite might be used for
power purposes. The work in which
Prof. Brown and his co-adjutors are
engaged, will prove of inestimable
value to the State, and the legisla-
ture acted wisely in making provi-
sions therefor.
