Lopez, Senator Zayas's clerk, was arrested.
but said he did not know where Zayas
was.
All the prominent Liberals are in hiding.
Secret orders have been issued for the arrest
Of Twenty-Five of them.
The decision to declare martial law and
arrest Liberal leaders was reached late
Yesterday afternoon when President Palma
summoned his Cabinet to consider the
situation after the veterans had been motif
fed by Secretary Montalvo that the Govern
ment would not accept their terms Of peace.
At the meeting Of the Cabinet Secretary
Montalvo proposed a suspension Of III Con-
%sttution and the declaration Of martial law.
This has been his plan since the war began,
but It was always opposed by Secretary OF
State and Justice O'Farrill. O'Farrill still
opposed it, saying that the measure would
not result in the Governments favor. A
bot debate ensued.
OFarrill is looked upon in the Cabinet as
being less friendly to President Palma
than DR.. O'Farrill, the noted Liberal who
was arrested yesterday as a member OF
the Havana 'junta, and who In q relative OF
Secretary O'Farrill. In the debate Secre-
rary Montalvo said that the tolerance OF
the Government in allowing conspirators

Gabriel Casuso, Secretary OF Agriculture,
and Secretary Of Education Lamar backed
aontalyo, and O'Farrill was left alone.
Secretary Of Finance Fonts was not present
At the meeting, but 1t wa known that he
sided with Montalvo.
Immediately orders were issued to the
police 70 arrest the co~nspirators, and the
decree announcing the declaration Of
martial law, &c, was sent to the printing
Office.
One Of the reasons given by the Gov
m for its action was the discovery
OF a conspiracy to throw Havana into a

Spaniards, will assume any such decided

as Puerta de Golpe, Pinar del Rio. The
troops with the second military train are
repairing III railroad and are now at Santa
Clara bridge, between Herradura and Con-
solacion del Sur, which was blown up by
the insurgents.
A despatch from Puerto de Golpe says
that a man from Pinar del Rio has arrived
there. He had great difficulty in crossing
the rebel lines. He says the city is in great
distress from scarcity Of provisions, owing
to the interruption Of the train service.

Fighting is in progress around Cienfuegos.
The city is well prepared for defence and
1t II unlikely that the rebels could organize
a successful attack upon it.
The seaport Of Mariel, province OF Pinar

a large band Of rebels entered the town
OF Cruces yesterday and seized 50, 600 that

band captured a Government train and OBJ
tanned $40 900.
1t is declared that the reports of the
armored train Engagement were hugely
exaggerated. 1t was fought at such long
range that there were only eight bullet
marks on the train. The only real fight
occurred within the town OF Consolation,
where Col. Avalos met Gen. Guerra's rebel
force, which retired after a long range
engagement which lasted an hour and a
half.

END OF PROHIBITION IN MAINE.

PORTLAND, Me-; Sept. lit Is conceded
by prominent Republicans throughout the
State that despite the declaration Of the
party platform in favor Of the prohibitory
liquor Law the lesson Of the big Republican
losses in yesterdays elections is that the
people want a resubmission Of the pro-
hibitory amendment and that the next
Legislature must vote to resubmit it.
Sheriff William L. Hennell Of Cumber-
land county, who on the stump advo-
Gated a repeal OF the p~rohibitory law INT
a substitution Of high license and local
the next Legislature will not only vote to
resubmit the constitutional liquor law
but will early in the session repeal the
Sturgis law, enacted two years 9 and
which IL held responsible for q large share
OF the Democratic gains.
lions Advocate. a UNCONVENTIONAL paper
OF the Maine Baptists, says that resubmis.
sion Of the prohibitory law is a logical
necessity after yesterdays experience and
that il IL time for the friends Of the law
to stop saying the people don't want q
change. and prepare 10 rally to the support
Of the law when the question OF it's repudia-
ton or continuance is fought out at the
polls.
Nearly complete returns give Gov. Cobb
a plurality Of about $500. r
The pluralities OF the Republican on
gressmen are: Amos L. Alien, liz; Charles
Z. Littlefeld, 1900; Edwin O. Burleigh, ,4so;
Llewellyn Powers, $500.
The Democrats, who had only -four OF the
thirty-one Senators and tWenty-six u the
lSI members OF the lower house last ses-
sion, will have seven Senators M about
ffty-eight Representatives in the next
Legislature.
Every county ONCE in A~ndroscoggin and
Cumberland, the two largest counties and
both hitherto strongly Republican, was
captured by the Democrats.

expelled from Italy two years ago. Since
then he has associated with Russian ter

The three arrived at Breslau at dill erent
times. They were watched by detectives
for several days. including the four which
the Kaiser spent there on the eve OF the
manosuvres, when the most elaborate pre-
cautions were taken to protect him. IL Is
not explained why they were not arrested
then, as they are alleged to be known as

from the country.
A dozen police entered a house; which
was their rendezvous, on Posener street to-

In making these preparations the two

Col. Aguirre, head Of the junta, declared
that stories to the effect that the junta
was recruiting here were all fakes. The
junta. he said, was doing nothing to violate
the laws Of neutrality, which he declared
