HAVANA STIRRED
BY FALSE REPORTS
Colonel AraIaS and Armored
Train Make Junction
FORCES ARE S TRENGTHENED
It Is Believed That Many Insurgents
Were Killed in an Engage
ment at consol acion
del Sur.


Havana, September 9.-Government, mil
itary and railroad officials, and the news
paper correspondents were thrown into
state of excitement this evening by men
who had arrived here from Paso Real
with stories that the armored train which
left here Friday had met with various
obstacles beyond Herra Dura, had been
thrown from the tracks and its 300 men,
machine guns and horses and equipment
captured. As these tales were confirmed
by the Western railroads first telegraphic
advices from Paso Real they were be-
Heved true until authentic reports of
actual occurrences were wired by those
who had returned to Paso Real from the
scene.
The real facts of the case are that
Colonel Avalos, who was believed to be
surrounded In Pinar del Rio city, and
the armored train made junction east of
Consolation del Sur and the government
forces to that extent are improved. The
news of this fact caused much relief
in official circles
The train proceeded Saturday evening
from Paso del Real to two and one-third
miles east of Consolation del Sur, at
which point the rails had been removed
and replaced a locomotive and three cars
which had been thrown from the track.
The insurgents attacked but were driven
off by the two machine guns handled by
the American, Captain Webster.
Many Insurgents Killed.
1t is believed that many insurgents
were killed, but the number is not known.
Meanwhile a large portion of Colonel
Avalos' force had come eastward from
Pinar del Rio for the purpose of making
junction with the machine gun corps.
At Consolation del Sur their advance
was disputed by large band of insur-
gents, and a lively fight ensued. The in
surgents were driven off and several of
them were killed or wounded. Avalos and
his men continued their journey eastward
this morning and made a junction first
with the cavalry force of Captain Reven-
ma, which was scouting ahead, and finally
with the disabled troop train. The train
has not been molested since the junction
was effected, but the bridge over the Sam
Ia Clara river eastward from the train
was blown up today, together with two
smaller ones, preventing the use of the
road beyond Herra Dura. AS the bridges
"eslWdru near tuerlo Iolpe also nave
been destroyed no trains can operate
from Pinar del Rio city in either direc-
ton
Both the railroad and telegraph line
continues in use to Paso Real.
Tonight 215 men and four machine guns,
commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Clews,
started for Paso Real, with horses, sup
plies of provisions and quantities of rapid
fire gun ammunition. The sending of this
force was FASTENED by the false news OF
q disaster

UNCLE SAM CLOSES YEAR
MENTs IN FEDERAL BUILDING
ARE BUSY WITH ANNUAL
STATEMENTS. ~ @..s -,

Today marks the close of the fiscal
year for all departments Of the United
States government, and all the offices In
the federal building are busy getting
their final figures into shape for presen-
tation to the heads of their departments.
The office Of the deputy collector of
internal revenue was the busiest place
In the building. The ante-room was
crowded with liquor dealers anxious to
pay their s25 fee for a federal license in
order to avoid all danger of arrest Some
failed to do SO by noon, and technically
are fair game for Marshal Grimshaw and
his deputies, tho they will probably pass
unmolested If they come to the front early
next week. AS it was Collectors Nichols
and Dams were kept busy receiving and
acknowledging good coin OF the realm in
$25 lots up to the stroke Of IL. Owing
to the rush no figures as to the amount
taken will be available for several days.
This condition prevails in all the
offices where the system Of accounting Is
complicated, tho all books were closed
promptly at noon today. The postoffice
will not be ready to report for about two
weeks; the immigration office calls for
ten days time; the revenue office will
have figures the first Of next week.
The full report fthe custom house
will be out next week, but Deputy Col
lector Cooley was able to announce to-
day that the total customs receipts Of the
''port of Minneapolis for the fiscal year
is $412, 095.09.
| Assistant Custodian Nelson reports that
the total expenditure for furniture in the
| last six months has been $1,162.24, ex-
elusive Of repairs. He estimates the to-
| tai value Of the furniture now installed
in the building at over $50, 900.

- MRS. TANNER KILLED LIED 1.
Wife Of q. A. r. Commander the Vic
tim Of Auto Accident.

Helena, Mont, June 30.-The visit to
Helena Of James Tanner, commander
in-chief of the G.. A. r., came to a
tragic close late yesterday afternoon,
when his wife was killed by the upset
ting Of an automobile in which she was
returning with her distinguished hus-
band to the city from Fort William
Henry Harrison.
Commander Tanner, Colonel Lester
chine which upset escaped uninjured.
It appears that the automobile bearing
the Tanner party was in the lead of
three big machines that had been used
in visiting the capitol, the Broadwater
hotel and Fort Harrison. In the other
machines were Department Commander
A. j.. Fish, Past Department Com
manders Blake and Sterling, and other
veterans and some ladies.
The leading machine undertook to
pass two loaded ice wagons going In
on a short piece Of grade about ten
feet high between the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific sidings.
The grade is partly of "madev
ground; and as the automobile SKINNED
along the edge the ground collapsed
and in an instant the machine was
sliding down the grade It topple,S
over and the rear seat struck tele-
graph pole. This circumstance prob
ably saved the lives Of all but Mrs.
Tanner. S 49, s ..sss
Mrs. Tanner was hurled from the
machine with greater force than were
the others, for she lay unconscious upon
the ground, groaning in pain. Women
from, the other automobiles came to the
rescue and joined Corporal Tanner in
efforts to revive her. One Of the auto.
mobiles was dispatched to town fol
medical assistance. 81 a
In about twenty minutes DR. William
Tracy arrived with an ambulance and
Mrs. Tanner, who was then uncon
scious, was hurried into the city. She
died before reaching ST. Johns hos
pital. DR.. Tracy found her left arm
| fractured and said she had probably
| died from the effects Of the shock, al
she was nearly 70 years old.
! The scene at the hospital when Cor
| poral Tanner was told that! his VIII.
was dead was most distressing, the vet
eran Of many battles broke down com
pletely. Finally he was prevailed upo1
/ to return to his hotel and the BODY
was removed to an undertaker's room
i to be prepared for shipment.
Mr.. Tanner left for Washington thi
afternoon, accompanying the body. HI

ATTACKS LEGALITY
OF THE GRAND JURY

:. Harry Mead, appearing counsel for James
B. Gilbert one of the eKegan's lake saloorkeep-
ers indicted for selling liquor on Sunday, today
challenged the legality Of the organization Of
the present grand jury. Judge H. D. Dickinson,
before whome the point was raised stated that
he was not in charge of the criminal calendar
and the matter was passed until it could be
heard by Judge F. c. Brooks. -
G1lbert's attorney asserts that the new code
expressly repeats the law under which the
grand jury is drawn by the judges Of the dis
trtct court and provides for the drawing Of the
panel by the county commissioners. He con-
tends that all Of the jurics drawn since the new
code went into effect are illegal.
Determination OF the point will be closely
watched by lawyers and court officials ali over
the state. In the event of the court hold
ing with the defendant, new grand list of
jurors will have to be drawn before any
more Indictments can be drawn, but it will not
1nvaltdate the indictments in cases that have
beene tried and determined since in them the
point was not raised by the defendants.
