NEW RATE LAW IS
NOW IN EFFECT
AT MIDNIGHT THE ENACTMENT
OF THE LAST CONGRESS WENT
INTO OPERATION
Planned to Benefit the shippers-RaII-
roads Required to Furnish compre-
hensive enthusiastically All Are
Delinquent In Compliance.

New York, Aug. 2S-The new rail
road rate law went into effect at mid
night last night. 1t will be enforced
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. According to the new law the
roads were to have filed with the COM
mission by midnight all their tariffs
cost of transportation from point to
point, but also what items go to make
up this cost. From today on there can
be extras" but shippers are expected
to be able to obtain in advance final
statement of the charge they have to
meet
It is stated that not single com
pany has been able to fully comply
with the provision of the law requiring
them to have all the schedules on file
by midnight. The schedule of switch
ing charges was the most difficult Of
completion, and it is said no road has
been able to finish 1t in time to file
as the law directed.
Under the law every company which
fails to complete its schedules nigh
be fined, but it is understood the inter
state commerce commission will giv'
additional time in every case when I
road has given evidence Of sincere
intent to comply with the law.
Shippers May Be Benefited.
1t is expected shippers will fin
themselves benefited by the provision
which requires railroads to include al
charges of whatsoever nature in thei
quoted rates. Heretofore the shippe
has had to figure for himself on icing
refrigerator and elevator charges an
a dozen or more other incidentals
dickering with separate companies
which had hand in the transports
ton or care of his shipment.
II Now the railroads must do that, an
the shipper NETS but one charge an
deals with but one concern. A
sources of side charges are consolida
ed and private cars, side-tracks, spurs
. terminals and elevator are made sui
ject 10 the law.
The new law also requires that tn
, railroads establish a uniform systel
OF accounting, and to keep their book
open for inspection at all times by e
pert accountant Of the commission
This feature is expected to go towa1
abolishing the rate evil This prov
sion does not go into effect until Jur
FL, next.

/, Havana, Aug. establishment OF vol

suspended until the effect Of President
Palmas offer of amnesty to the insur.
gents can be determined. At the pal
ace confidence is felt that the great
body of rebels who had been carried
away with the idea that they were TO
have conspicuous parts in the over
throw of the Palma administration,
will seize the present opportunity to
return to their lawful pursuits rather
than jeopardize their liberty by furth'

characterizes as q hopeless cause.
Makes Coed Impression.
Palna's peace expressions of yester'
day have made a good impression, par
ticularly among the business men
whose interests are seriously threaten
ed by the disturbed condition Of af
fairs. Palnas son has Joined the ar
my, and his daughter has become ar
army nurse These enlistments have
also had good effect.
At the moment yesterday when the
government was issuing it's proclama
ton offering pardon to rebels who
would lay down their arms its forces
were dealing the most telling blow
that has yet been struck against thu
insurgents.
For several days 1t had been stated
that Gen. Guzman's force Of insur
gents, which was variously estimated
at from 200 upwards, contemplated al
attack on Cienfuegos Col. Vale, will
detachment of rural guards and vol
unteers, was dispatched thither for thu
purpose Of engaging Guzman am

The encounter Of the two forces yes

which the insurgents have sustained
up to this time. They lost seventeen
killed and many wounded, while tn
