From Rebels Under Pino Guerra,
 Who Are PlunderinE as
 They March.
 WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-The state department received a dispatch from MT. Sleeper at Havana. the United States charge in Cuba, saying that he had taken steps to have the Cuban government protect American inter- ests against the raids of the reSels.
 The situation in Cuba is far darker than at any previous time since the in surrectfon broke out News of an up- rising in Santiago province is spread ing about Havana and causing the gravest concern. The extent of the rising in Santiago is not known. but it is the opinion here that the worst calamity of all to the Palma govern ment is this insurrection in eastern Cuba.
 Cardenas, which hitherto has been considered perfectly peaceful city, was the scene of desultory fighting between police and rural guards, on the one side, and rowing insurgents, on the other.
 Near Cienfuegos there are 5000 arm ed insurgents, and all the small towns in Santa Clara province are controll- ed by insurgents, who attack and loot trains and seize the property of for eigners as we'll as of Cubans
 Trinidad is surrounded by insur- ! gents, and the government appears powerless to protect the property of Americans and other foreigners. Rail- way trains are held up at will and passengers searched. The Cuban Cen tral railway has declined to assume responsibility for the safety of passen- gers or freight.
 A detachment of rural guards en-. gagged 125 insurgents near Esperanza, ten miles from the city of Santa Clara, with the result that the latter were dispersed, leaving ten men dead on the field.
 Demands from Americans for pro tectlon are pouring into the United States legation there. Besides the claim of the Constancia Sugar compa ny, an American corporation, for dam age done by the rebels another has been presented by the Mercedita Sug- ar Estate company of Santa Clara province. through its manager, Senor Longa, who is Cuban by birth, but an American citizen.
 American farmers in the province of Pinar del Rio also are suffering the consequences of the war. The Ameri- can flags, which were respected by the insurgents in the first days of the war. are now of no avail. The Cubans seize horses, paying their American owners with valueless notes signed by the insurgent leaders. A prominent American farmer of Santa Clara prov ince who dares not give his name said that the situation was insufferable. His American flag had been trampled upon, he stated. He went to Havana and called on Consul Sleeper and re- ported to him.

Day of the Big Ranch Gone.

These tracts will furnish homes for more than 10,o00.oO0 people if proper ly subdivided and this increase in Cal ifornia's population will mean in. creased opportunity for the invest ment of the money secured from the sale of the big ranches.

FILlBUsTER CAPTURED.
Vessel Carrying Arms and Ammuni- tlou to Cuban Rebels Held Up,

Weasel Carrying Arms and Ammuni-
 tion to Cuban Rebels Held Up.
 WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 1.-The crew of vessel carrying arms and ann munition for the Cuban revolutionists has been captured by federal officials in Delaware bay. Fifteen thousand rifles were found on board. The seven mem- bers of the boats crew, however were released. The arrest of these men was kept quiet, so as not to interfere with the capture of the schooner Marietta or King Charles, the alleged tilibuster which left Carney's point at midnight. This vessel has gone, however, and se- crecy in the matter of the capture has availed little.
 A sharp watch is being kept by Pink erton detectives in the employ of the Cuban government in all ports from which it is likely that filibustering ex- petitions might be fitted out.
