| Havana, Sept. 8. - All peace over

Guerrero, the insurgent leader IN Pinar
del Rio province, to enter into any ar
rsngement for an armistice, Guerrera's
answer to the governments announce
meut of its agreement to grant ten
days. armistice is the blowing up OF
two bridges on the Western railway,
cutting railway communication beyond
Pinar del Rio city, and an attack on
San Juan de Martinez.
1t is said here tonight that San Juan
de Martinez is in the hands OF the in
surgents, and that the garrison, consist
ing of 100 government recruits and
small force Of mounted rura, guards,
had been defeated or captured.
The fact that other leaders OF the in
surgent forces are willing to agree to an
armistice can have little effect 80 long
as Guerrero is determined to prosecute
the war, and there is slight doubt in
any quarter that Guerrero can control
the situation in his own region. His
force is reported by all those who have
visited him recently as ranging from
8. 900 to 1000 men, all OF them we'll
mounted and some OF them we'll and
Others indifferently armed. The gov
eminent force opposed to him, which is
under command of Colonel Avsloc,
about 900 men. 1t was re-
inforced at o'clock this evening by
Colonel Clews with 1850
men and three machine guns from Ha-
vana. Colonel Avalos' force, with the
exception of small detachments left at
San Juan de Martinez and San Luis, is
1t Pinar del Rio city, but is without
means OF transportation to go to the re-
lief of San Juan de Martinez. Not
more than 400 of them are mounted.
General Menocal said today that
Guerrero evidently had not been in
ormed that the government had actu-
lily, although informally, granted an
rmistice, adding that second commit
ee had been sent to him, but could not |

s, however, that Guerrero refuses
oint blank to accept an armistice ex-

hould consent to this is out of the
uestion, and tonight prospects point
