Amnesty Offers Revoked-Al Consti-

Iut1onal Suspended.
Havana.-For awhile this evening the
prospect of peace looked decidedly
more hopeful. This condition was the
result of the arrival of one of the peace
commissioners, who had visited the in
surgent leader, Pine Guerra, in Pinar
del Rio province, with the news that
Guerra had informally consented to a
suspension of hostilities pending nego-
tiationS.
The clouds, which appeared to be
breaking with the announcement of this
news, gathered again within an hour,
when it became known that at a special
meeting of the cabinet this evening, at
tended by President Palma, Vice-Pres-
ident Mendez Capote and all the men,
bers of the ministry, it had been de-
cided to declare all peace projects off.
1t was agreed at this meeting that
the government could not accept the
propositions of the Liberals, the main
feature of these being that President
Palma resign and that the vice-presi-
lent and members of the cabinet should
do likewise or a new general election
be held. Immediately after the close
of the cabinet meeting Vice-President
Mendez Capotc declared that the gov
eminent never would consent to such
terms, but that it would fight to the end.

Havana, Sept. 8.-Havana is practi-

ECCENTRIC OLD MAN DEAD.
Built a "Devil Proof" Vault and Kept
His Coffin in the House.

Fulton, Ky.-Col. Jim Browder, aged
II, is dead after an illness of several
months. About two years ago Mr..
Browder was stricken with paralysis
and he has been helpless most of the
time since. The deceased belonged to
an old and hOnored family and had
spent his entire life in Fulton county.
He had amassed a considerable fortune,
which was b~equeathed to his aged wife,
his son., and a daughter.
Mr.. Browder was a very eccentric
man. Five years ago he bought a lot
in Palestine cemetery and erected a
vault in which he and his wife were to
be laid when claimed by death. In
speaking of the vault, which was very
compactly built, Mr.. Browder said it
was ''ireproof, burglar-proof and
devil-proof." At the time the vault
was constructed the eccentric old man
also selected and bought his coffin,
which has been kept in readiness to re-
ceive his remains.

GETS ENTIRE GOLD OFFERING
Uncle Sam Takes $500, OOO-Call
Money at 10 Per Cent.

London.-The United States secured
practically the entire $5O0,0O0 gold Of
fering on the market today, although
the price had advanced l 3-S pence over
Saturday. In addition the United
States took 81, l01 900 in eagles at the
Bank of England.
Some Of the banking interests which
announced gold imports today were
surprised to learn at the subtreasury
that no advances would be made on gold
shipments which left Europe last week.
The treasury officials contend the sec
retary's ruling applied only to gold re-
ported on and after today. 1t is gener-
ally believed that a great deal of the
gold announced for engagement today
was shipped from European ports last
Saturday.

CAR MAKES PROMISES
RUSSIAN RULER ATTEMPTS TO
PLACATE PEASANTS.
PLANS TO SELL THEM LAND
Not Taken Seriously as Peasants
Have Nothing to Pay on Land
and Can Be Robbed.

st. Petersburg, Sept. S.-What to
do in order to appease the peasants,
whom the reactionaries fear because
of the numbers. and the Jews, who
use their sagacity and intelligence in
the cause OF the revolution, is the
problem over which the Car and his
advisers have lost many a nights
sleep. and they have found the solu-
ton. They have decided to institute
educational reforms for Jews and aid
the peasants TO acquire land. There
by the reactionarieS think they will
succeed in making these masses for
get the revolutionary movement and
turn their attention to something else.
Without these two elements the gov
eminent thinks the revolutionary
movement would fail and the reac-
tionaries would again be able to ply
their Old trades undisturbed.
The proposed reforms are to sell
land cheap to the peasants and aid
them to acquire the land before the
next elections. AS the peasants have
no money to pay on the land, the
SOfSI ulIItHI LSuIcS IldJ II Is Sale 10
sell it at any price to them. the plan
being to let the peasants have the
land on mortgages. Thereby the peas
ants would be made to believe that
they are land owners and that they
ought not to make common cause with
theworkingmen, who own nothing.
At the elections the peasants would
be advised III to elect men who
want to destroy the present govern
which was kind enough to al
most give them land. This way the
reactfonaries hope to gain recruits.
To the Jews the government prom
ises 4 different bone. The reaction
aries know that the Jews in Russia
have complained more against being
shut out from schools, that against
anything else. The conclusion was
reached that if schools were opened
to the Jews they would probably be
less active in the revolutionary move
ment. In some places in Russia the
movement was. and is still, in the
hands of the Jews almost exclusively.

There is a surplus Of money in San

The local surplus is owing to the

further reason that pending prepare

local investments many people with
money have no present use for it, and
are filling the banks with it.
