REBELS ARE
V|CTOR|US

Havana, Aug. 24.--At a late hour
tonight the revolutionary situation in
western Cuba is uncertainty known
here, conflicting reports of Guerra's
operations and the fortunes OF the
government troops having reached the
city throughout the day and evening.
1t seems certain that the principal
body of government troops now in
the field, the rurales and volunteers
under Colonel Estrampe we're driven
back to Guines, but thirty-four miles
by the highway from Havana. Col
onel Estrampe has a very considerable
body of troops under him, and his re-
tirement from a position well toward
Pinar Del Rio would indicate that
he had encountered the insurgents in
force to the east of the city of Pinar
Del Rio. Estrampe's soldiers are
mostly the rawest kinds of recruits
and he has not sufficient rursles to
brace the volunteers
A fight is said to have occurred at
Quines in which the volunteers were
whipped, and it seems that Colonel
Estrampe can not use that city as a
base for further operations.
PREPARE FOR MARCH.
Reports of Estrampe's engagement
earlier in the day led to the belief
that he had been opposed by Guerra,
bat tonight dispatch from the Pub
lishers' press correspondent at Pinar
Del Rio, filed early in the afternoon
says Guerra had retired toward Gu
ane, about 20 miles from Pinar Del
Rio, on the Cayoguatuje river and
that 900 troops which had been on
guard at Pinar Del Rio were prepar-
ing to march Immediately against
him.
This dispatch stated that the wires
were cut between Pinar Del Rio and
San Luis.
The situation has improved in Ha-
vana province. Secret agents of the
government who have been in the
country say that the insurgents in this
province are dismayed over Banderas'
death, and are scattering to their
homes.
At midnight, the government re-
ceived report on the fight at Guines,
stating that the volunteers had been
ambuscaded outside of the town and
had been defeated, losing three men
killed.

UNGRATEFUL, SAYS
ROGERS OF CARRIER
Deposed Central Committee Man
Issues Sensational Statement.

Akron, O., Aug. 24.-Bitter over be-
ing thrown out of the Democratic
state central committee by the CARRIER
forces at Columbus, S. G. Rogers has
issued a sensational statement, IN
which he refers to a bribery case in
which Harvey c. CARRIER, Democratic
state chairman, was involved several
years ago.
CARRIER was then state manager of
the Bell Telephone company and was
indicted for attempted bribery of a
city commissioner of Akron when
that company was endeavoring to OBJ
tain certain franchises from the city.
Powerful political and personal
friends rushed to Garbers defense,
and Rogers was his attorney, the trial
resulting in CARRIERS acquittal.
In his statement Attorney Rogers
refers to the old bribery case, and
says: Il have suffered just Tetribu-
ton at his hands for my zeal in his
behalf, but l would rather be igno-
miniously kicked out of a committee
standing with Tom L. Johnson than
serve with the aggregation of petty
and corrupt politicians opposed to
him.
The satisfaction" he adds, "of be-
ing elected over my opponent in the
Nineteenth district convention against
the combined opposition of CARRIER,
Rockwell, Isbell, Koplin, Cronin, Nc
Farland, ct al, is much greater than
my disappointment in being removed
later by a packed committee where
justice and fair play had no standing"

ANT|-SALOON
League Sees Victory Ahead for Local
Option-Satisfied With Con-
vention Results.

Columbus, o., Aug. 24.-The Anti
Saloon league is satisfied that the
fight was made before the Democrat
ic state convention to insert plank
for county local option, even though
the plan was defeated, and the Of
ficers believe that good will come out
of the fight.
Wayne B. Wheeler said Thursday
in presenting the views of the league
upon the situation: "In view of the
fact that no effort was made to Sc
cure a single delegate to the conven-
tion favorably to county option it
was good skirmish. If the same eff
fort had been made as was put forth
one year ago, the result would have
been Overwhelmingly in favor OF
county option. Every local option
law on the statute books has been
passed without any party's indorse-
ment and in some instances with par.
ty opposition. The fight for county
option is on in Ohio, and no man or
set Of men can defeat it,"

POURING RAIN
At Valparaiso Adds Ad-
ditionaI Suffering to
the Homeless-City Of
fiCials Take a Hand.

Valparaiso, Aug. "a Conditions
here have again assumed serious
aspect. The pouring rain which de-
scended through the night and all OF
today, have added additional suffer
ings to the homeless Most of the
latter have had the shelter Of tents,
but the rain forced them to seek re-
fuge in some of the ruined buildings,
the walls of which are likely to col
lapse at any time.
The Weather class of residents are
making their exodus from the city,
the slight shocks which we're felt dur
ing the night and early today giving
additional cause for fright.
The work of searching the ruins
for bodies is progressing rapidly, and
workmen are making great headway
in clearing away the debris.
The city officials have taken up the
matter of distributing supplies and
fixing a price for foods. Any mer-
chant selling the necessaries of life
at higher price than that fixed by
the authorities is forced to close up
his shop.
Commercial houses and banks will
tomorrow pay their clerks their
months salary in order to assist them
in their present hardships.

PAY FOR SOLDIERS.

The government continues able to
obtain recruits here on the strength of
offering 81 day and rations.. Small
detachments we're forwarded today to
Major EstHampo by the railroad, which
the soldiers continue to guard at vul-
nerable points. Rumor had it today
that Guerra had received supply of
arms and ammunition in the good old
filibustering fashion. The supplies
we're said to have been landed on the
south coast, not far from Coloma, and
to have been distributed among the
insurgents recruits who have Joined
the rebel leader since the occupation
of San Luis and San Juan De Mar
tinez.
The revolutionary sentiment is
strong along the south coast, and the
occupation of Coloma itself by Guer-
ra will be natural sequence TO the
taking of Pinar Del Rio. if indeed this
latter city is not already, as rumor
states, in the hands of the insurgents.
Considerable interest was aroused
here today by reports of Guerra's
plans. 1t was said that he had warned
Palma that the taking of the city of
Pinar Del Rio would be followed by
the invasion of Havana province and
the taking of Havana city.
News from the eastern end of the
island is entirely wanting. Santiago
province has not been heard from for
several days and information here
contains no reports of developments
there. This has led to the report that
the government is suppressing news
| from that part of the island.
The revolutionists' program is in a
way very moderate. Their adherents
in Havana have managed to announce
their purpose, which is to force the
present administration to call a new
election and submit to the peoples
| judgment the legality of their tenure
of office The insurgents claim that
Palma has his Office by fraud, and his
continuance therein is really accom-
plished by force, and he is in the ma
ture of a dictator.

MAD RUSH
For Money Made by Five
Thousand Frantic De-
positors of the Mil
waukee Bank in Chica-
go-Pathetic Scenes.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Five thousand
men and women depositors in the
frantic from hunger and suffering the
grinding of poverty, Joined in a mad
rush for money today, when the re-
ceiver began the payment of the first
dividend of 20 per cent from the
vaults of the bank looted by Paul o.
Stensland.
Violence and disorder ensued. Six
ty policemen we're overwhelmed and
not until 100 bluecoats were on the
scene could the throng of Polish,
Bohemian, Italian and Norwegian de-
positors be controlled.
The bank remained open until p.
M, one hour after the usual banking
hours. 1t is estimated that 1900 per-
sons were paid They carried 100000
away from the bank, hiding their lit
tie stores of currency and coin in their
clothing
No effort was made by other banks
positors to transfer their accounts.
Such effort would have been futile.
The depositors declared. in jargon
of tongues, they would trust their
money to no more bankers.
Many times within half an hour
women and men were literally drag
ged from the line of depositors by the
police. Only those with notices from
the receiver were permitted to remain
in line.
get into the line women depositors
suffered severely. A dozen times
wemen, crying, pointed out to the
lieutenant men had had dragged them
out of the line, driven them away and
taken their places. Each complaint
was followed by summary election
from the4ine, of the offender.
Mrs. Johanna Paschen, 32~ Cornelia
street, was the first woman paid.
A most pitiable case of poverty due
to the bank failure was that of Mrs.
b. Pearson, 97S Hancock street. She
was not among those favored with
notice from the receiver, but she join
ed the throng outside the bank door
at a. M. When LIEUTENANT Danner
sought to turn her away the woman
chrieked, tore her hair, knelt upon
the pavement and begged the lieuten
ant not to force her to leave.
MY God" cried the woman, "Pm

ment and led her weeping to the re-
ceiver who let her have some money
today.

GENERAL GOMEZ
Made Prisoner by President Palma
as Result of Uprising in Cuba.

Havana, Aug. 24-The success or
failure of the Guerra revolution
seems to depend upon the develop
ment of the next few days in the pro-
vice of Pinar Del Rio. If the rebel
leader displays the promptness in
tactics which the evident weakness of
the government forces would now
make effective, Guerra will be able
to establish himself so strongly in the
western province that his suppression,
if it is to be accomplished by force
of arms, will tax the resources of
the country and subject Cuba to
months of warfare.
Reports from the west today in
cluded rumors of a fight at the city of
Pinar Del Rio. in which Guerra was
triumphant, defeating the forces under
Colonel Estrampo, numbering over
1000 rurales and volunteer militia.
Guerra was reported to have had near
ly three thousand insurgents. Es-
trampo, according to rumor, retired to
Guines, in Havana province.
The authorities here attempted to
discredit the rumors of Guerra's sue
cess, and no definite accounts of the
days fighting in Pinar Del Rio were
forthcoming up to late hour this
afternoon. President Estrada Palma
has issued orders which practically
prevent unofficial advices rrom the in
terror reaching Havana. The tele-
graph lines are filled with government
dispatches to the exclusion of other
matter. Considerable information,
however, reached the city by the rail-
road and the government highway to
the west.
SEVERAL CLASHES.
One small fight and two or three
clashes were reported from Santa
Clara and Matanzas provinces, they
are meagre in numbers, and since the
killing of Banderas, in Havana prov
ince, at the head of his small band,
are considered of little Importance.
Parties reported at widely separated
points, in the first days of the upris-
ing have since Joined Guerras main
body in Pinar Del Rio.
Havana city appeared to take the
uprising in provinces with lethargic
interest until to-day when the popular
interest here was keyed up by the in
generation in the Havana Jail of
General Jose Miguel Gomez, candidate
for the presidency against Palma, who
was arrested at his country place
near Sancti Spiritus three days ago.
He was brought here by boat and spe-
cial train.
General Gomez is a leader of the
Liberals. and has many warm parti-
sans in Havana. These partisans are
highly exercised over the detention of
their leader, and are outspoken in de-
of Palma. Crowds gath
cred about the jail. and the govern
ment forthwith doubled the guards
about the building tD prevent pos
sible attempt at the liberation Of
