REBELS RAN AWAY
Colonel Valle Tells of Fight
 Near Cienfusgos.
CAPTURES THE TOWN OF RoDAS.

It h Expected That the ynsurgent
 Leaders, With Exception of Pino
 Guerra, Will Now Lay Down
 Their Arms.
 HAVANA, Aug. 29-General Rodri- guez, commander of the rural guards, has received telegram from Colonel Valle. telling of the engagement be- tween the government forces and the insurgents near Cienfuegos, province of Santa Clara. The dispatch reads:
 'Insurgent parties under Guzman and Portela, having camped near Aureus and commenced harassing the rural guards, we proceeded toward Aureus with a force of rural guards and volunteers and encountered the revolutionists, who were entrenched in the town of Aureus.
 We routed the enemy, killed many revolutionists and captured quantity of arms and ammunition and number of horses. We continued our opera tions to Rodas, where our advance guard was charged by the revolution ists who were holding the town and a little fort called De Piedra fort, where fierce fighting continued
 ''The enemy was persistent, but the revolutionists were finally dispersed and ran away in different directions, leaving large number of men killed in the streets. The full extent of the reyolutionists' casualties is not yet known.
 ..Once in possession of the town we got in touch with the detachment of rural guards commanded by Lieutenant Toro. Our forces fought valiantly throughout the engagements. Later the enemy returned and rushed the town, but the revolutionists were again scattered by our machete charges"
 Colonel Valle expresses the opinion that the engagements in Santa Clara will prove to have been of great i'm. portance toward ending the insurrec- tion in that province.
 A band of insurgents fired a volley at passenger train on the Western railway west of Alquizar, Havana province, thirty-three miles by rail southwest of the Cuban capital. Sev- eral bullets hit the cars, but nobody was wounded.
 Investigation shows that the state ment made by. Senator Dolz. leader of the Moderate party, at the conclu- sion of conference with President Palma at midnight. to the effect that practically all the insurgent leaders of consequence except Pino Guerra had signified their willingness to disband their men if all were positively guar anteed immunity for their insurrection- ary acts, was an exaggeration, but the impression is very general that the in- surgents, with the exception of Pino Guerra, will shortly lay down their arms.

New York Express Clerk Makes Hand.
 come Profit on Canal Bonds.

New York.-When Samuel Byerley, clerk in the office of the American Ex. press company, obtained an award of S5. 00.000 Panama bonds from the treasury department and successfully arranged the transfer of his claim to a big banking concern. thus realizing an immediate profit of from $10,000 to $20.000 on an investment of one two-cent stamp. Mir. Byerley was hailed all over the country as "a clever young man." Young, however, he can scarcely be called. for he Is within two years of the half-century mark. and has six children, the eldest IS years of age. Nor can he called poor by any means. for his comfort able apartment is situated in rath- CT exclusive neighborhood. His coup was no accident, but the result of a study of bond issues extending over many years. Mir. Byerley's private hobby is French literature. and he is to spend his brilliantly won vacation in France. taking trip that he has looked forward to for years. Since his achievement became known, Mir. Byerley has been approached by
