to win the peasantry to the support

an ukase was published transferring
4,500,000 acres of apnenage lands
mentioned in the Associated Press tel
egrams August 20, to the peasants
banks for distribution to the pea

is such that the ukase which was sign

of Premier Stolypin was gazetted,
without waiting for the final decision
as to the methods and terms of pay

the latter shall be 33 or 60 years, has

Havana, Aug. 27.--At the moment
today when the government was is
sning a proclamation Offering a par
don to the rebels who would lay down
their arms, its forces we're dealing
the most telling blow that has yet
heen struck against the insurgents in
the field. For several days is had
been stated that General Guzman's
force Of insurgents, which had been
variously estimated at from 200 up
wards, contemplated an attack on the
city of Cienfuegos. Colonel Vale,
with detachment Of Rural guards
was dispatched to Cienfuegos for the
purpose Of engaging Guzman and
breaking up his band. The encoun-
ter of the two forces today resulted
in the worst disaster which the insur-
gents have sustained up to the pres
ent time. They lost seventeen men
killed and many wounded, while the
loss to the government force was
one man killed. ,..sy. !. a.
The government is without further
particulars of the fight.
That the insurrection is in 4 shaky
condition seems to be a fact although
the end may not be- a., near - the
members Of the government profess
to believe. Ex- Congressman Faustine
(Pinol Guerra, the insurgent leader,
operating in the province Of Pinar
Del Rio, in a signed statement, teIe-
graphed TO the Associated Press to-
night, declares that he is determined
as ever that the last presidential elec-
tion shall be annulled before there
can be peace in Cuba. That Guerrs's
force Of 1000 men is well armed and
well supplied with ammunition and
food is amply verified. Their great
est drawback now il lack Of money,
but the people Of the western part Of
