the Platform Reported.

Columbus, O., Aug. 22.-When the
democratic convention reassembled to-
day it was with the knowledge that the
fight on county option in temperance
legislation, as part of the declaration
of principles, was assured. A protract-
ed night session of the committee on
platform had been insufficient to bring
different opinions together. Many
temperance advocates were under
stood to be willing to accept the COM
promise.
State Issues Prevail.

convention to order the committee on

form is devoted almost entirely to the
state issue. Legislation is demanded

A tribute is paid to the late Cover

TO SHOW GOOD AND EVIL LINE
GunsauIus Warns Members of Wnona
Lake Conference,

Winona, Lake, Ind, Aug. 22-The
Rev. DR.. Frank W. Gunsaulus, presi-
dent Of Armour institute, Chicago. In
a sermon preached yesterday after
noon at the twelfth annual bible con-
ference. told the 1000 ministers Of
twenty different denominations that
their churches soon would be empty Of
men and Of thinking women" If the
pastors failed to make plain the great
difference between good and evil.
He cautioned them not to lay all
their sins on Adams back, saying they
had all been in the garden of Eden,
but they had lost their innocence.
DR.. Gunsaulus deplored the fact that
the theaters had dramatized such
books as "Ben Hur'' and "The Sign Of
the Cross" while the pulpit had failed
to apply these messages in forceful
manner.

daily chronicle Of murder and robbery
Is not appreciably diminishing. The

A LITTLE TIME WILL NOW

Bands Are Smaller Than Was Report
ed-More Fighting Takes Place Near
Havana Between Insurgents and the
RuraIs-Many Rumors.

Havana, Aug. 22.-President Palma,
IN an interview with correspondent
of the Associated Press, today said:
Our situation at first was one of I'M
preparedness as is usual in such cases.
We are taking a little time to prepare
to cope with it. But there is positively
no cause for alarm in the movement
in Santa Clara province. 1t is small,
Pinar del Rio are smaller than re-
ed and are poorly led"
new party of fifty insurgents ap-
peared today in Santa Cruze del Norte,
Havana province.
According to reliable advices receiv-
ed here this afternoon insurgents to-
day captured the city of San Luis,
province of Pinar Del Rio.
Later in the afternoon a report of
the capture of San Luis was con-
firmed. Pine Guerras' force of insur-
gents appeared outside San Luis at
$3.50 this morning and a severe fight fol-
lowed during which several men were
killed and wounded on both sides.
Eventually the insurgents captured the
town and fifty rural guards Guerra is
now in complete control at San Luis.
Luis Perez, the last liberal governor
Of the province of Pinar Del Rio, has
joined the insurgents forces in that
province.
More Fighting.
More fighting took place yesterday
near Havana between insurgents and
the rurals. Further conflicts are ex-
pected hourly.
A detachment of rural guards en-
countered portion of Bandera's force,
with which shots were exchanged at
close range. One insurgent was kill
ed and the others scattered. Fifty
rural guards are in pursuit Of the main
band.
1t is reported that the town of
Guines, twenty miles south of Havana,
was peacefully occupied this evening
by band of insurgents. Guines is
the center Of the American truck farm.

not been rnolested
Pinar del Rio in Panic.
Notwithstanding the quietude
throughout today, peaceable inhabi.
tants Of Pinar del Rio, Consocacion del
Sur, San Juan del Martinez, and other
western town are hourly in apprehen.
sion of the attack and occupation of
those places.
The fact that probably 1000 insur-
gents intend to concentrate in the pro.
vince Of Pinar del Rio upon towns in.
adequately guarded by small detach'
ments of rural guards, mostly inexper.
fenced in warfare, makes the situation
grave.
But as the insurgents have not as.
sumed any strongly offensive attitude
or interferred with trains carrying
troops, horses, and supplies, 1t is infer.
red that they are not prepared or lack
the nerve to try for control Of the ter.
ritory
There have been many rumors OF
fights at various points in the province
of Pinar del Rio, but they have not
been confirmed by government or press
dispatches Nevertheless night at
tacks on the city of Pinar del Rio and
other towns continue to be regarded
as probability.
The government wires are working
freely. Pinar del Rio, Consolation de-
Sur, and San Juan del Martinez were
reinforced today by 200 troops. The
loyal citizens are well equipped to re
pei invasion.
