ARTILLERY TRAIN STOPPED
Although 1t Was Armored the Rebels
Force 1t to Turn Back.

HI w as AEHlOTtO TIC 4CuCkS
Force 1t to Turn Back.
Havana, Sept. S.-General Manager
Livesey, of the Western railway, in
formed the Associated Press that the
special train carrying machine guns
and troops from Havana had not ar
rived at Pinar del Rio. Upon reach
ing Las Sovas it was found that q
freight train preceding it was held UP
by large number of rebels. The troop
train was unable to pass, and after eX-
changing fire with the rebels it re-
turned to Los Palacios. According to
telegraphic report the train was
obliged to come back because the To-
connective was out of water.
The railroad officials are unable to
understand the matter, as the first and
last cars of the troop train were steel
armored and the troops could safely
have fortified themselves in them. Live
sey expects that the insurgents will
continue to prevent troops from reach
ing Pinar del Rio, as the telegraph
wires have been cut at Rio Fe, east Of
Pinar del Rio city.
Neither the railroad officials nor
members Of the government have
learned the outcome of the reported
attack on San Juan de Martinez An
attack upon Pinar del Rio city also is
greatly feared. The bridges on the
eastern railway which were destroyed
by Pine Guerra. both are small. The
insurgents threaten to destroy larger
bridges if there are further attempts
to transport troops over the railway.
The talk of the veterans is tending
to become more aggressive. and they
urge action rather than peace endeav-
ors, as being the more practical means
Of ending hostilities. All regard the
blowing up of an English company
railroad bridges as a serious matter
and likely to invite international &C.
ton by Great Britain, or at least an
| Interrogation Of the government al
Washington by Great Britain as tC
whether the former intends TO inter
vene to end war conditions in Cuba.

Cuban Rebel Who Knows What
He Wants and VIII Abate
Not a Word.
PRESENT GOVERNMENT MUST GO
Peace Prospects in Cuba Are Not in
the Least Encouraging.
Chief Rebel Has 1000 Men. and Is
Defiant-Report of the Fall of
san Juan de MARTINEZ.

Havana. Sept s.-All peace over
lures are blocked by the refusal or
Pine Guerra. the insurgent leader in
Pinar del Rio province, 10 enter into
any arrangement for m armistice-
Guerra's answer TO the governments
announcement of its readiness to grant
a ten days armistice is the blowing
up of two bridges on the Western rail
way, the cutting of railway communi-
cation beyond Pinar del Rio City and
an attack on San Juan de Martinez.
1t is believed here that San Juan de
MARTINEZ is in the hands of the insur-
gents, and that the garrison, consist
ing of 100 government recruits and
small force of mounted rural guards,
has been defeated or captured.
Guerra Is the Whole Thing.
The fact that other leaders of the
instruction are willing to agree to an
armistice can have little effect so long
MS Guerra is determined to prosecute
the war, and there is slight doubt in
any quarter that Guerra can control
the situation in his region. His force
| is reported by all those who have Wis
tied him recently as ranging from 81
/ 900 to 1000 men. all of them we'll
mounted and some of them well and
others indifferently armed. The gov
eminent force opposed to him, which
is under command of Colonel Avalos,
comprises about 1000 men. 1t was
reinforced last evening by Lieutenant
Colonel Clews with 100 men and three
machine guns from Havana.
He Has just One Condition.
General Menocal said that Guerra
evidently had not been informed that
tho government had actually although
informally, granted an armistice, add
ing that second committee had been
sent to him. but could not reach him
before today. The fact is, however,
that Guerra refuses point blank to
accept an armistice except on condi-
ton that the last presidential and con-
gressional elections shall be annulled
That the government should consent
to this is out of the question, and so
at this time every prospect points to
the continuance Of the war.
Liberals Getting Crusty, Also.
In connection with Pine Guerra's at
titude it is notable that the Liberals
have grown more independent. They
say that on account of the govern
ment's surveillance and prosecutions
they will no longer hold meetings anC
that it is useless to consider peace I'm
der the circumstances.

president Of the defunct Real Estate
Trust company. have been discovered
by Receiver Earle. The latter made
this statement himself, adding that he
had no idea where Nipples yillainy
would end Nipple, in order to meet his
immense overdrafts, used the names Of
some of the most prominent business
men of the city on notes which in some
cases amounted to $4,000.
Had Copied Mems Signatures.
The president had taken copies Of
the signatures of a number of business
men while some of their checks or ne
gotiable securities passed through his
hands, but in every case he avoided the
use of the name of Real Estate Trust
company depositor. When pinched for
money to meet his Overdrafts or some
big Segal loan, Earle said, as last re-
sort Nipple would draw up a note with
the forged signature attached. This he
would take to the cashier or paying
teller. saying he had personally made
the loan, and it was discounted. With
the amount to his credit he would sat
isfy the pressing claim.
Earle 10 Accept the Presidency
Receiver Earle said that in order to
accomplish the reorganization of the
Real Estate Trust company he would
accept the presidency if the depositors
insisted. Earle's decision to accept the
presidency of the institution came aft
er much pressure had been brought to
bear upon him and after his announce
ment made earlier in the evening, that
! he would not accept. 1t is now believed
| that an early reorganization of the
company is assured. The directors, it is
asserted, have pledged themselves to
advance 100000; creditors will take
preferred stock worth $1,50O,000, and
! Segafs securities will be sold for So
! 500, 600. In his way the institution can
be again placed on a sound basis.
Trust Estates Are Intact.
It has developed that the last state
examination of the trust company was
made by Banking Commissioner Reed
er in 1902. Robert McAfee, who was
state banking commissioners from April
1903, to July. 1905, made no examina.
ton and Commissioner Berkey, who
succeeded McAfee, also failed to ex
anime the institution. The two exper
accountants appointed by Commission
er Rerkey to investigate the condition,
Of the concern at the end OF their frs
days work announced that they fount

tate Trust company acted as trustee

THE CALUMET FAMILY.

THE movement to organize a
Calumet Business mems association
has been started at the psychological
moment, The residents Of Ham
mond, East Chicago. Whiting and
Indiana Harbor are at last beginning
to realize that their interests are
mutual. Hammond citizens were
the original advocates Of the idea
of uniting the cities of Northern
Lake county but the proposition was
never very warmly received and so
no progress was made
Public opinion in regard TO this
matter has changed considerably in
the last few years as the cities in
the Calumet region have been grow
ing closer together and now there
are dozens of men who favor this
union where there was one before.
One of the factors that has brought
about this change of sentiment is
the spectacle that the East Chicago
aldermen are making of their city.
The idea of getting closer together
by the formation of a business mems
association does not imply a desire
ON the part OF those who support
the movement to bring about the
union Of the cities in question. The
prime motive is to secure the indus
trial advancement OF this region by
encouraging harmony and eoopera-
tion among its business men. When
the advantages Of such cooperation
begin to BE realized 1t will sooner or
later be seen that interests of one
these cities is identical with that Of
ne others and a single municipal
government will be the logical out
:ome
The business men of Hammond
should not be slow in accepting the
friendly advances OF their neighbor-
ng cities. We are all in the CaIu-
net family.

Marion Butler, formerly senator
from North Carolina, has a very poor
opinion of William J. Bryan as a
doer of things. He believes that the
Nebraskan is long on talk and that
his ability ends there.
Mr. Butler, while not taking the
Bryan boom very seriously. speaks
as follows: Bryan lacks nerve. the
democratic party lacks cohesion and
organization. For these reasons Bry-
an, if elected, and backed by demo-
cratic house and senate will accom-
plish nothing While Mr.. Butler
allows himself to go rather far in
his presuming, even to the extent of
foreseeing a possible democratic vic
tory, he does so in order to commend
In highest terms the ability of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He says that Bryan
under similar conditions 10 those
which Roosevelt has experienced
would be unable to carry out his
promises. The ex-senator brings
out the force and character of the
Roosevelt type in comparison with
the Bryan style. The latter while
given the credit for being sincere is
not accounted the strength of pur-
pose to put his ideas or words in eff
feet.
This character sketch-that is
what it really amounts to-of Bryan
is of decided interest just at present
when he is so much in the public eye

RAILROAD NOTES

]. b. Barnes, superintendent of mo-
tive power and car department of the
Wabash, has recently completed a
new invention which is now being
tested. 1t is skinner for boilers
and it is said that it will make a
saving OF a quarter of a million dol
lars annually TO the Wabash road.
BY using a skinner an engine
boiler does not have to be washed so
frequently. Ordinarily an engine
boiler is cleaned on an average OF
three or four times a month. When
equipped with a skinner it needs
but one washing in that time. The
test is being made on an engine OF
the Peru division. and the results
noted are encouraging, 1t viii mean
a saving of 1886 by one engine in
one month and a saving Of s20.1s6
by the 500 engines which the Wa
bash will soon have in service.
The skinner is something entire
Iy new. with it the sediment in
the water is run into it By the steam
pressure and passed on to the valve
aud then forced out.
