Marquette Enters CabanaS With

Havana, Aug 3O.-Congressman
CampOs Marquetti is reported to have
entered Cabanas. on the north coast
of the province of Pinar del Rio, with
large band of insurgents.
The hands of insurgents are in
creasing, and they are better equip
ped with arms and provision than
heretofore. Numbers are joining
them daily and without good work by
the Cuban government at once, the
insurgents will gain strength enough
to make a long and determined strug-
gle.
The insurgents have removed the
rails from parts of the Cuban Central
Railroad. in the southern part of the
province of Santa Clara.
Seventeen recruits belonging to
one company of Rural Guards, who
were alleged to have planned a de-
sertion to the insurgents, have been
arrested and placed in Jail here.
The cost of attempting to suppress
the instruction has already been
over a half million dollars.

the words of the prophet. Edmund S.
Stevens, of Washington:
Cause of Earthquakes-The earth
is out of her place, or upright posi-

Whenever there is an accelerated or
faster motion, then in that period
earthquakes occur. We are now in
one of those periods, from Mount
Pelee, 1900 to 1915, again from
1925 to 1869, again from 1865 to
1000 a. D.
In 1892 the earthquake is of such
extent, that all the cities of all the
nations fall. From 2O35 to 3144 A.
d. the earth is in continual perturba-
ton, and in the latter year settles to
its upright position. This brings in
the new heaven and new earth"
