MAY END REBELLION
6ANDERA, CUBAN lNSURGENT
CHIEF, SLAIN IN BATTLE
WAS TERRIBLY MUT|LATED
Bandera's Death Believed to Mean
End of the Revolt In Havana
Province.

Havana-The body of the negro,
Gen. Quentin Bandera, the most
daring insurgent in Havana province,
who was killed in a battle, lies In the
morgue at Havana flanked by those OF
two mulatto comrades, all 1rightfully
gashed by the long, heavy machetes
of the rural guards, who ended their
career. Across the street. in Neptune
park, a great crowd. mostly negro
friends of Bandera, are watching the
morgue with silent interest.
1t is believed the insurrectionarY
movement in western Havana has
been broken by Bandera's death.
The arrival of Bandera's body here
was the first news Of the fight In
which he met his death. The conflict
occurred at the Silveira farm, near
Punta Bravo, Is miles from Havana
A detachment of 3S mounted rural
guards, under Capt. Ignacio del Gado
and Lieut.. Martinez, searched through
out the night for Bandera's party.
At 8 o'clock in the morning the
guards were breaking through a wire
fence at the edge of the Silveira farm,
when they were suddenly fired upon
by Bandera's followers, 20 in number.
The guards rushed upon the insur-
gents, but with the exception Of their
chief and his two leading comrades
they all escaped.
The guards made the chief and his
two companions special object of at
tack, and all three received several
bullet wounds and were horribly mutt
lated by machete cuts. Not one of the
guards was wounded.
Bodies Terribly MutIated.
The bodies of Bandera and his COM
panions were placed in a wagon and
taken to Havana. An examination OF
Banderas body showed that his prin-
cipal wound was a severe machete
blow on the head, which cut off his
left ear and made an ugly incision

In his arms and breast.
The condition of Bandera's two dead
companions was even more shocking,
| Their faces and heads were terribly
gashed, and they also had machete
wounds in their breasts and on their
arms. The clothes of all three men
showed every evidence of the hard life
which they had been leading while
eluding their pursuers.
Gen. Gomez Enters Denial.
Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, at his for
NAL arraignment, denied the allega
ton that he had engaged in conspiracy
against the government.
The government expects that the
steamer Mexico, which will sail from
New York on Saturday, will bring Is
capid-fre guns, 100000 cartridges
and 10000 Lee rifles.

With the promise this year of one
of the largest grain crops the country
has ever known there is room for in.
terest in the reports from other To-
calities. A fair yield is predicted in
most of the wheat,growing regions of
Europe, but as the output is never
large enough for old-world consump-
ton it is clear that the prospect is
good for heavy importations as usu.
al, and the United States will be the
main source of supply, This is the
general situation, and it should help
to promote stability here, for big
grain crops and large exports of
breadstuffs are among the influences
that guarantee prosperity.

DANGEROUS Anti.Fat Treatment.

Fat girls who are inclined to drink
vinegar and eat pickles in the hope
of reducing flesh may take warning
from the fate of Annie Gross, 25-
year-old st. Louis woman. She was
stout" and had been dieting to re-
duce her flesh. She ate no meat or
heavy food and neighbors gave the
information that she had made
practice of eating from a dozen to
two dozen sour pickles day and
drinking from half pint to pint
of vinegar every "a hours. Sudden
death came to her Sunday evening
when she had left a party of her
friends to get a drink of water. At
the autopsy physicians found the in.
ner walls of the stomach almost COM
pletely eaten away. The cause Of
death was given as "hemorrhage Of
the stomach and acetic poisoning"
due to pickles and vinegar. 1t is
easy, says the Chicago Sun, to see
how such results would naturally
come more quickly to a stomach that
was deprived of other classes of food.
A similar condition has often been
found in the stomach of men who
were small eaters and habitual drink
ers of large quantities of hard cider
The stomach is not proper recepta
Gle into which to pour quantities Of
strong acid.
