caucus has been duly elected United

under the agreement entered into

one state ticket. This reorganiza-

ANOTHER BATTLE
WON BY RURALES

HAVANA, Aug. 25.-The gov
ernment tonight gave out the de-
tails OF another fight which, il is
asserted, took place this morn
ing, near Cascajal, Santa Clara
province, in which it is claimed
twenty insurgents were killed, or
wounded. After the engagement
lt is reported the rurales picked
up seven dead insurgents on the
field. Others are known to have
been left in the underbrush. The
loyalists did not lose a man, al
though several were wounded.
The leader of the lnsurgent band
is not known, but it is believed
10 have been former Congress-
man Mendietta. The insurgents
were poorly armed. The major
ity had nothing bat machetes,
and the few who had rifles were
supplied with only Old-style Rem
ingtons. The rurales, on the
other hand, were equipped with
modern guns and were able TO
pick off the insurgents at a dis
tance without being in any great
danger themselves.

HAVANA, Aug. 25.-The insur-
gents commanded by General Guer-
IA, the rebel chieftain who has been
raiding Pinar del Rio, are almost
within sight Of the Cuban capital.
They raided two towns last night
within nine miles of the city, and
after looting the stores and terTify-
ing the peaceful inhabitants, rode
away without being attacked by the
rurales, who seemed TO be without
information concerning their move
ments.
The proximity Of the rebels has
thrown Havana into a fever Of eX-
element which the efforts Of the
government are unable to allay. Re-
endorsements for the loyal troops
are being constantly hurried to the
front, but they are so utterly lack
ing in discipline and so poorly arm
ed that little confidence is felt IN
them by the people, who are becom-
ing more and more convinced that
the Palma government is tottering
TO a fall. Even the news that a
large consignment Of rapid-fire guns
and ammunition left New York to-
day for the troops has not reassur-
ed the population.
Situation Is Growing Worse
Aside from the situation in PinaF del
Rio, which IS growing hourly worse.
grave fears are felt because OF the lack
Of news from Santiago province. This
has been a stronghold OF disahectiOn,
and the negro population there, which
is large, has been IN a state Of unrest
for several weeks.
When word comes, IL is believed 1t
will be found that the insurgents there
are in great numbers. The statement
given out ia the Palace today that
General Rabi. the dashing hero Of the
war OF liberation, had sent word 10
Palma that he was ready to take the
field at the head Of five thousand men
TO aid in suppressing the revolt, IS not
