CUBAN REBELS DEFEATED
Seventeen Killed, Many Injured. In
Battle Near CienfueQos.

Havana. Aug 2S-At the moment
when the government was Issuing its
proclamation offering pardon To re-
bells who would lay down their arms
its forces were dealing the most tell
ing blow that has yet been struck
against insurgents in the field. For
several days IL had been stated that
General Guzman's force of insurgents
which was yariously estimated at from
200 upwards. contemplated an attack
on Cienfuegos. Colonel Vale. with
a detachment OF rural guards and vol
untecrs was dispatched to Cienfuegos
for the purpose of engaging Guzman
and breaking up the band The en-
counter OF the two forces resulted In
the worst disaster which the insur
gents have sustained up to this time
They lost II men killed and many
wounded. while the loss to the gov
eminent force was one man killed
The government is without further
particulars of the fight.
That the insurrection Is in shaky
condition seems 10 be "a fact. although
the end may not he as near as mem
bers of the government profess u
believe.

to lose interest in the 'Skeeters on ac-

saw the home team shut out the visitors
by good all round playing. Moren, who
was in the box for the locals, was in
splendid form, and used the spit ball in
way that was too much for the Toron-

five hits, but not one of them got beyond

MERELY
MENTIONED

That was severe jolt Mayor Pagan
received yesterday when DR. Frank
Gray, President of the Board of Health,
and DR.. Mclaughlin and DR.. Hoffman,
two of DR.. Gray's colleagues, handed in
their designations. DR.. Hoffman had
only been a member of the Board three
days, and he attended meeting Monday
night for the first time. 1t didn't take
him long to learn that the Health De-
partment was nothing more or less than
a political annex to the Pagan adminis-
tration. He had accepted the Mayors APP
pointment believing that he would be free
to act as he thought best for the inter
ests Of the people and the health of the
city. When he found that he had been
mistaken in his conclusions he decided
that Board of Health dominated by
politics was no place for a man who had
any self-respect OF interest in his profes-
sion.

heard of the catastrophe he hurried down
to the scene, winding his way through a.
maze of railroad tracks, but was glad to.
find no necessity of administering ex-
IRENE unction.
The shaft house is surrounded by coal
trestles and other appliances that are
more intricate than those that battle the
eys and ears of a witness of the para
phernaiia of even Barnum & Bailey
circus, and many dramatic spectacles
were witnessed by reporters and others
attracted to the scene. The scene of the
line of patrol wagons and ambulances
winding out through the yard bearing the
unconscious bodies of men supplemented
by rescuers rushing at the risk of life
and limb along high trestle when they
discovered that the upper portion of the
shaft house was afire. Some one spread
the report that an explosion was emf
nent and the crowd rushed up the rail-
road tracks. When the alarm settled
down to a false onss<he crowd got to-
gether again only e find a file of men
in gum boots and durt and mud -bedrag-
gled crowds bearing fifty boxes each CON
tanning fifty pounds of dynamite. Then
men came along bearing boxes of cart
ridges and other stores supposed to be ex-
plosives the crowd drew back.

Mayor Fagan's feelings can be mag
ined when he received DR.. Hoffman's $
resignation. What he said when it was
followed by the designations Of Dr.. Gray
and DR.. Mclaughlin no one will know
He certainly didn't smile. Because of the
injecting of politics into the Health De-
partment the Board of Health has never
been a harmonious body. DR.. Gordon
Dickinson, in order to preserve his self
respect, found it necessary to resign some
time ago, and George NJ. Mccarthy did
likewise. Mayor Fagan may not have
much difficulty finding successors to the
three physicians who resigned rather
than be hampered by political influence
in their work, but he will have trouble
convincing the people that the Health
Department, like the Police and Fire
Departments, should be managed in the
interest of political faction.

and would lead to the greatest confusion.
For the convenience of the legislature
we give the following as the proper pro-
cedure to be observed by the legislature
IL dealing with the proposed amendment.
1t is in conformity to precedent and we
believe in accordance with the require
ment of the constitution.
The amendment must be proposed in
the senate or assembly at the annual ses-
sion in nineteen hundred and seven. and
if the same shall be agreed to by a ma
jority Of the members elected to each of
the two houses, the proposed amendment
I.shall be entered on their journals. with
the yeas and nays taken thereon, and
referred to the legislature then next to
be chosen, and shall be published for
three months previous 10 making such
choice in at least one newspaper of each
county, if any be published therein; and
if in the legislature next chosen as afore
said that is, the legislature which will
convene in nineteen hundred and eight
the proposed amendment shall be agreed
to by a majority Of all members elected
to each house, and entered as aforesaid
on their journals, then it shall be the
duty Of the legislature 10 submit the
amendment TO the people in such man
ner and at such time, at least four
months after the adjournment of the
legislature as the legislature shall pre-
scribe.
After the amendment has been agreed
to by the legislature which convenes in
nineteen hundred and eight, that legisla-
ture must pass an act for submitting the
amendment to the people.
That act will recite the observance of
the previous requirements of the consti-
tuition, and provide for holding the elec-
tion, prescribe the form of the ballot. the
mode of conducting the election, the cam
vassing of the votes, ETC., ETC. To pre-
0result of the election. the act should pro
vide that no ballot will be. counted unless
it is a vote for the whole or against the
whole of the amendment
See senate Journal 1896, page IA.
Assembly minutes. 1896, page 7SO.
Session laws of 1897, page 461.
Session LAWS of 1903, page $50.
| With the amendment statute is pre-
septed to be passed BY the legislature 50
/ that it will take effect when the amend
men is adopted.
1t prevents the interference by one
member of the chancery division with
another in the exercise of the injunction
power.
1t is deemed wise to leave these with
other provisions relating to practice and
procedure within legislative control in
stead of making them part of the amend
ment.
This statute, like other statutes; may.
of course, be repealed, altered or amend
ed by any subsequent legislature.
The members Of the commission will
be pleased to respond to any questions
which may be addressed to them respect
ing the amendment of the statute,
