Havana, Aug. 26.-Unofficial ad
vices received from the western part
of the province of Pinar del Rio yes
terday are to the effect that the insur
gent forces now concentrating west OF
San Juan de Martinez are far more
formidable than had been supposed,
and also are better supplied for lons
and aggressive campaign. A promi-
nent resident of Havana, whose word
is beyond question, returned last even
ing from a seven-day tour In the vi
cinity of San Luis and San Juan de
Martinez
Well Equipped for Campaign.
He informed the Associated Press
that Pine Guerra's following in Pinar
Del Rio now is certainly from 1900 to
1000 men. He said the idea of his not
having sufficient ammunition was ri
diculous and that he is abundantly
supplied with every possible necessity.
The behavior Of his force is excellent.
All the tobacco plantations owned
by Americans and American proper
ties are flying the American flag, that
gentleman declared, and are not being
molested. He said the insurrectionists
had eight mules loaded with dynamite,
and lately they had received supplies
from unknown sources.
Rural Guards Desert.

members of the rural guard had de-
serted and joined the insurrectionists

tically all Cubans in Western Cuba
were sympathizers with the move

bad shape for any work other than
jogging, just at present Sports day
should see it in better shape than
ever before.
A shower hath has also been INSTALL
ed in the dressing-room under the
grandstand.
On account of the rough state of
the track but few men put on run
ming shoes yesterday afternoon.
No high jump practice has taken
place for over a week on account of
lack of standards. This state of
affairs has discouraged more than one
of the Jumpers to such an extent that
they have given up trying to get in
shape for this most interesting event.
A big turnout is expected at the
Boys Field this afternoon and some
shifty doings may be witnessed. Fri
day seems to be a favorite day for
fast workouts
Saturday is usually dull at the track
owing to football and other attractions
claiming the attention of the f1eld-day
candidates. Tomorrow is likely to be
an exception, however, and the track
is apt to be kept warm all day long.
