ing for split to develop in the Min
ers' Union Thursday. when operators

was called. six weeks ago. The division
is expected to arise over differences re-
gardng the wisdom of Pres. Mitch

strike while the bituminous miners are
left to fight the battle alone
The operators do not expect the an

enough to bring about speedy settle
mcnt. They believe. however, that a
faction of the strikers will manifest a
desire to submit the whole controver-
oy tn arbitration which the mine own
trs have been urging for a long time.
Whatever comes out of the meeting
the mine owners have decided not to
delay longer in reopening their mines.
The stock of Chicago dealers are re-
ported to be nearly exhausted.
Tho operators assert that they Will
be compelled to begin operations by
June ] or lose many of the chief mar

ENLISTMENT SUSPENDED.
Guerra's Inactivity Has Lost HiI
 PreStige With PeOple.

Guerra's Inactivity Has Lost Him
 Prestige With People.
 New York, Aug. 2S.-The enlistment of volunteers by the Government has beepSuspended until the effect of Pres idenp Palma's offer of amnesty to the insurgents can be determined.
 At the palace confidence is felt that the great body of rebels who have been carried away with the idea that they were to have a conspicuous part in the overthrow of the Palma admins tratfon win seize the present oppor- tunity to return to lawful pursuits rather than jeopardize their liberty by further supporting what the Govern ment characterizes as a hopeless case
 Senator Dolz, the moderate leader. following his conference with Presi- dent Palma. declared early today that with the exception of Pino Guerra, all the insurgent leaders were prepared to disband their men if assured of im- munity. Guerra is yet to be reckoned with.
 If seemingly reliable reports can be credited, he has with him a formidable body of men, but his recent inactivity leaves the impression that ha desires rather a display of force than to do any serious fighting. His earlier prom ises to capture Pinar del Rio and then to march upon Havana followed by period of inactivity, has apparently in- jured his prestige among insurgents. and sympathizers who had expected him to make a bold dash against the Government forces
 President Palma's peace expressions of yesterday have made good impress sion, particularly among the business men, whose interests are seriously threaened by the disturbed condition of affairs. President Palma's son has joined the army and his daughter has become an army nurse. Thesa enlist ments have also had good effect
