A
Rebel Sentiment is Strong Near Cuban
Capital.

The anxiety of President Palma, OF
Cuba, to extend every possible oppor-
tunity for peace without b~loodshed,
and his desire to permit those who
joined the insurrection under mis-
guidance to repent and return TO ter
homes unmolested, combined with the
general wish to end a situation fraught
with so much loss and suffering, has
led TO consideration by the president
and his cabinet of a project decreeinS
a thirty-day amnesty period. during
which the nsurrectionists are invited
to lay down their arms and return to
their peaceful pursuits. 1t was pro-
posed to issue the DEGREES Monday, but
persons close to the president strongly
opposed the measure and the matter
was deferred, and may be relinquish-
ed.
SO far as actual conflict Sunday
proved to be a day Of inactivity, but
preparations proceeded without abate-
ment. A fund of s 100000 has been
set aside by the treasury for defense,
and drafts on it's are heavy and con-
slant.
The situation is so increasingly seri-
u hat it is tacitly admitted in all
government circles that the enlarge
ment of the army will not stop at any
given number, but will continue in
definitely.
While the number Of men at pres
ent leaving their regular occupations
to enlist for war the small employers
are beginning to find that they will
soon be confronted with a considerable
scarcity of labor. Many laborers are
gathering in front Of the bulletin
boards on which are displayed the call
for volunteers issued by President
Palma Saturday night. They discuss
the attractiveness of a soldiers life at
such unusual pay. and as a result may
resolve to enlist.
1t vas learned that several new
regiment bands had taken to tie
brush.

FauIkton Man Sells 10000 Acres 10
Iowa Parties.

P. II. O'Neil, of Faulkton, the ac-
knowledged cattle king of South pa
kota, and extensive real estate owner
has disposed Of 10000 acres, all In one

RATE LAW IN EFFECT.
Roads Unable to Meet Requirements
on Time.

A dispatch from New York says:
plies to all railroads doing an inter-
state business, went into effect at mid
night Monday. 1t will be enforced by
the interstate commerce commission.
According TO the new law the roads
were to nave filed with the commits
sion by midnight all their tariffs and
charges, showing not only the full
cost of transportation from point to
point, but also what items go to the
making up Of this cost. From this
time on there can be no extras" but
the shipper is expected to be able to
obtain in advance a final statement of
the charge he has to meet.
1t was stated that in fact not a sim
gle company has been able to COM
ply with the provisions of the law re-
curing them to have all their SEIZED
ules on file by midnight. The sched-
ule of switching charges was the most
difficult Of completion and it is said
that no road has been able to finish il
in time to file as the law directed.
Under the law every company
which failed to complete it's schedules
might be fined, but it is understood
that the interstate commerce com
mission will give additional time in
every case when a road has given ev-
idence of sincere intent to comply
with the law.
1t is expected that shippers will find
themselves benefited by the provision
which requires the railroads to include
all charges of whatsoever nature in
their quoted rates. Heretofore a ship
per has had to figure for himself on
icing, refrigerator and elevator charg-
es and the dozen or more other Incl
dentals. dickering with the separate
companies which had a hand in the
transportation or care of his ship
ment. Now the railroad must do that
and the shipper meets but one charge
and deals with but one concern.

STRANGE Low OF GAS.
Valuable Find i'm Artesian Well at
Cana

The Norbeck & Nicholson company,
artesian well diggers, of Redfield, an
nounce that they ave struck q good
flowing artesian well for the North
western Railway company at the town
of Capa, forty miles west of Pierre.
The well is 1880 feet deep, flows
100 gallons of water per minute, and
furnishes more Illuminating gas tina
any other we'll in the state. The a
flow is estimated at 100000 cubic feet
per day. The water from this well has
a temperature Of 1876 degrees. Work
has been commenced on another well
at the town Of Nowlen, sixty miles
west of Pierre. The same company
also had a contract for a we'll for the
Northwestern railroad on the Chey-
enne river. This we'll will reach a
depth of $500 feet.
The success in obtaining artesian
flows augurs well for the development
of the country west of the river. Until
these experiments it had generally
been considered that the artesian ba-
sin did not extend west Of the Mis-
souri, river.
The discovery Of gas in paying
quantities is one very gratifying fca'
ture of the experiments.
