PRESIDENT PALMA's STATEMENT.
Cuban Govrnment VIII Deal Kindly
 With ReVOIutlOnists.

Havana. Aug. 2T.-President Palma today gave out statement in which he says that the instruction has no ideals and no program, and that the cries which the insurgents raised do not constitute a program, ideals or a justification for the movement. Con- tinuing, the President says:
 All revolutions must have program as had our revolution for independence iu 1895. Every body at that time knew tiat the Cubans had revolted against Spain and engaged in an open fight for the liberty of their country. The pres- ent movement is more of a local adven- ture-only a crazy movement on the part of discontented persons. There is no moral reason for 1t. The Gov ernment could suspend the constitu- tionaI guarantees. but 1t intends to maintain the Vigor and hope of the people and avoid possible excesses,
 The medical force has been instruct ed to attend to all prisoners and to give wounded or sick insurgents the same attention as wounded or sick men be longing to the Government forces. Any insurgent repcnting of his act can re- turn within the pale of the law and may not be molested. The Government will have no petty spite or feeling of rancor against those who return to their senses and abondon the cause of disorder"
 President Palma is not disposed to employ any other method than that of arms for the re-establishment of peace. He declared energetically that the Gov ernment here would absolutely never compromise with any form of disturb . CTS of order.

Hunting the Buffalo.

In all the United States there are not more than 500 buffaloes remaining of all the untold millions that have roamed the Western plains. Many titled foreigners came here in the late sos and early '70s to join in the slaughter One of the great hunters was the Grand Duke Alexis. high admiral of the Russian navy and uncle of the czar His presence here when he was jolly sailor of some 25 years created furore His success as a buffalo hunter and woman killer was chronicIed in exten- 50. The illustrated weeklies gave him pages of exciting pictures-"drawn on the spot by our special artists" The titled foreigners of today have recently chosen British East Africa for a hunting field, and there the sport is indeed regal.

REBELS ARE SHAKY
THE GOVERNMENT ADMINISTERS A
 CRUSHING BLOW.
General Guzman's Force of Insurgents Was Badly Beaten By Palma's
 Troops Near CienfugOs.
 Proposition of Pardon.

Havana, Aug. 27.--At the moment to- day when the Government was issuing It's proclamation offering pardon 10 rebels who would lay down their arms, its forces were dealing the most telling blow that has yet been struck against the insurgents in the field.
 For several days 1t had been stated that General Guzman's force of insur- gents, which was variously estimated at from 200 upwards, contemplated an attack on Cienfugos. Colonel Vale, with detachment of rural guards and volunteers was despatched to Cienfue- EOS tor the purpose of engaging Guz- man and breaking up the band.
 The encounter of the two forces to- day resulted in the worst disaster which the insurgents have sustained up to this time. They lost seventeen killed and many wounded, while the loss to the Government force was one killed. The Government is without further particulars of the fight.
 That the insurrection is in a shaky condition seems to be a fact, although the end may not be as near as members of the Government profess to believe. Fx-Congressman Faustino (PinoJ Guerra, the insurgent leader operating ia the province of Pinar del Rio, in a signed statement, telegraphed the As sociated Press tonight, declares that he is as determined as ever that the last presidential election shall be annulled before there can be peace in Cuba. That Guerras's force of 2.OO0 men is we'll armed and supplied with ammunition and food is amply verified
 Their greatest drawback is the lack of money, but the people of the western Ipart of Pinar del Rio are furnishing them with all the supplies needed, talk ing in return therefor orders on the [ md 4ys cases refusing to accept any considera- tion.
 The Governments offer of amnesty, which was issued this afternoon, is Rariously received. Alfredo Zayas President of the Senate and Liberal leader, stated tonight that he was un- able to express any opinion as to whether the insurgents would grasp Ethe the opportunity of surrendering lbutN said in his opinion as a lawyer. ,Secretary Montalvo could not legally issue such an order. for the constitu- lion provides that only the President may make such a proclamation which must be countersigned by some member of the cabinet.
 Secretary Montalvo on the contrary staed to the Associated Press that the ofYer of clemency was issued by the direct order of President Palma and also Razetted officially. The Secretary added that the document was in reality an order of the Secretary of the In- terior, issued by direction of the Pres ident to General Rodriguez, commander of the Rural Guards.
 The foreign element, including many Americans, criticize the offer of am nesty as a weak and disappointing &C., tion, showing a desire for peace at any price and willingness to sacri- flee the probability of future security to a present expediency. Secretary Montalvos order does not provide for the relief of alleged consDirators Who are now in jail at Havana and the question has arisen as to what shall 8 done with them

NEBRASKANS COME
"WHAT IS HOME WITHOUT A
 BRYAN.o
Fellow Citizens of Commoner Reach New York and Attract Great Ate tentiOn On the Great White
 Way.

New York. Aug. 27--"What is home without a Bryan"
 With this piacard in its front ranks the delegation of 125 of the neighbors and friends of William J. Bryan arr rived in this city from Nebraska at half past ten o'clock last night. The dele gation was more than two hours late and no time was lost in getting bag gage and personal belongings slowed in the eighty rooms which had been re- served for them in the Hotel Victo- ria.
 Before retiring for the night. how ever large number of the visitors strolled out into Broadway for short time to catch glimpse of the city. After watching the crowds move north ward and southward for few minutes, w. H. Green, Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Nebraska this fall, won the applause of his compan- Ions when he declared, well, boys. I'm prouder of Nebraska tonight than have ever before been. What I've seen Of the New York people they're not bet ter nor much worse than our people at home"
 Each man wore a small badge of white silk ribbon on which was print ed, Home Folks of William J. Bryan"
 About the only incident of the trip was the painting of large number of placards, some of which were carried last night and all of which are to be posted about the Victoria Hotel today Here are some of them:
 Who said 'RepudiatorT Any? AnyT
 We have kept the faith"
 And they called him the boy orator os the Platte"
 We believe In National Honor.'
 We knew you would come to know him"
 In the delegation were the Mayors of eight cities of Mir. Bryan's State. among them being Mayor Brown. of Lincoln, who headed the delegation.
 The party left Omaha late on Friday and will remain in the city until Sat- urday.
 Other delegation are expected to fol- low the Nebraska delegation today.
 It was announced yesterday that the Missouri society would entertain Gov ernor Folk and the Missouri delegation at dinner at Sherry's on Friday.

authorities to appropriate money for their fund they have accumulated suf- ficient to provide an annuity for every teacher when her time comes to retire on account of age. In some instances the annuity reaches $400 to $500. This is the case in Cincinnati. In New Jer- sey the women teachers with Miss Elizabeth Allen. principal of the Hobo- ken normal school, at their head, have themselves established a fund for re- tiring teachers who belong to their or ganizaztion. This includes 1000 mem bers. Their pension fund association was formed ten years ago. It required nine years of persistent effort on their part to induce New Jersey, through it's legislature, to contribute $1.500 year to the support of women who had spent their working lives educating the states children.
 Thousands of this countrys many miliioned men could, by giving annual Iy their income for just one day to an age pension for Americas women pub lie school teachers make comfortable and happy the last years of this repub- lies most deserving class of workers, yet not one has stepped forward to help them. Perhaps the aid they have so we'll earned Is not forthcoming because these teachers are only women.
 One millionaire, George W. Perkins. however, has helped one of his former teachers in Chicago, Mary Elizabe'G Farson, to make a fortune for herself through wise investments. George w. Perkins is now the partner Of J. Pier pont Morgan.
 Miss Farson is principal of the Libby school in Chicago. She had the addi- tional advantage of possessing broth CT. John Farson. who was and Is a banker, He also aided Miss Farson in making investments. She has been very fortunate. to be sure. but has her self chiefly to thank. after all, for the success she won. She has an orderly systematic mind and one that naturally looks ahead and provides for the fu- ture. She began by preparing herself to be a teacher of the best kiAd. She loved teaching. and that made her adopt it for livelihood. Being a first class teacher. she naturally got first class appointments and saved her mon- ey. Like the majority of thoroughly refined. highbred people. her tastes were simple and she lived quietly. as she does still. When she had sufficient funds to invest she invested them un der wise direction so that today she is said to be worth $30o.0oo. Miss Farson

Modern Idea of City Parka.

 The modern idea as to the ideal muni- vail pretty much all over the civilized world is that of the so-called natural landscape garden. A bit of country transported to the heart of the city and set down amidst the bricks and mortar and cobblestones. where the busy man, tiled down to his desk for most of the summer. can get a brief whiff of the country morning and eve ming on his way to and from business Where also the city gamin can view a little section of that fabled outside world to which. if he is fortunate some fl Iesh air fund may sometime trans port him for a week in Utopia This Is the modern idea of a city park and ir is a thoroughly good one
