TARIFFS seem to be worrying the
railroads and express companies, as
much as the fear of revision of the tariff
worries the standpatters. The general
public knows as little about railroad aud
express tariffs as they do about the
Dingley tariff Law, except in general
way, that all these republican protective
tariffs are plundering them.

PREPARATIONS for complying with the
provisions of the new railroad rate bill,
which goes into effect tomorrow, have

The Cuban Revolution.

Havana, Aug. 27.-The revolution in
Cnba apparently is resting. After the
activity of last week, there has come a
lull which eau only be explained on the
theory that the insurgents are awaiting
developments.
With the forces now at their COM
mand, the insurgents are in a good posi-
ton to force the government to come TO
terms regarding the ratification of the
former elections without resorting 10 open
conflict. They are waiting, therefore,
the government 10 make the move which
will determine whether there is TO be
peace or war.
The declaration made yesterday by
Col. Asbert, commanding an insurgent
band in Havana province, well states
the position of the revolutionists. They
want an election where the people will
be allowed to express their will freely,
and an impartial judiciary.
The insurgents do pot want bloody
war, Tor that would mean the death OF
''brothers" They believe by the dem.
onstrations they have made President
Palma will be brought to time.
The city is still stirred by the rumors
Of a disagreement between President
Palma aud Vice President Mendez,
President Palma believing the Vice
President is implicated in conspiracy
with Senator Ssyas, the liberal leader,
to force his resignation and the advance
ment of Cspote on the ground that it is
the only way to avoid bloody war.
Developments in the matter are eagerly
awaited.
One engagement, the result of
chance meeting of bands of insurgents
and loyalists, is reported within the last
twenty-four hours. This was near Gas
cabel, where the government claims to
have a victory. Several are reported
killed aud wounded on both sides.
In Santa Clsra province more insur-
gents are taking to the bush, but no
fighting is reported thus far today. The
recruiting of government forces is being
continued.
Havana, Aug. 27.-Senor Montalvo,
Secretary Of the Interior, today issued
bulletin, in which he offers amnesty to
all insurgents who go 10 their homes and
give up the revolution against the gov
eminent.
Paul D. Stensland, wrecker of the
Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, of Chi

him.
