the many leaders of Tammany Hall to
state their positions. He also declared
that Mr.. Hearst as a man did not figure

IF Mr. Hearst was nominated by the
Democratic convention would you sup

"You will never face this situation" +"
he replied. Lets discuss something
practical. The Democratic party has
had to swallow some bitter draughts
in the past. but It will never stand for
that medicine. Hearst, the man, is a
man Of no importance and no ideas. He
is like Murphy.

run away into a nearby cane patch.
Connor Immediately started for his
home.
Going through the cane field he sud-
denly came upon Spain and, graphing
with the negro, struck him a severe
blow, breaking several bones in his
hands.
The negro finally freed himself and
ran into the woods. Connor notified his
neighbors and about two hours later
Spain was captured and locked UP in
Jail Shortly afterward posse of forty

VOTERS AGAINST
JOINT STATEHOOD
ARIZONA REPUBLICANS HOLD
PRIMARIES
Result Shows That Measure viii Be
Defeated by Two to One.
Many Fights
Occur
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 23.-The Repub-
lican party In Tuscon and Pima coun-
ties, at primaries held today, went on
record as opposed to joint statehood.
The issue was clean cut and in Tucson
the anti-jointure ticket received 402
votes against 1863 cast for jointure.
In outside precincts, which are small,
the result was similar.
The anti-jointure delegates elected
today will nominate solid anti
jointure delegation from Pima county to
the territorial convention at Bisbee,
September 6.
Jointists had been confident of cap
turing Pima Their defeat means that
the territorial convention will be almost
unanimous against joint statehood.
Great feeling exhibited between OPP
posing factions at the polls. There
were many challenges and several fist
fights.
Each side claimed the other was vot-
ing Democrats.
The feature OF the voting was that
Mexican electors went almost solidly
in favor of jointure. AT noon the bet
ting was to that the jointure ticket
would win.
In the afternoon the anti-jointure
forces rallied, with the result that
nearly double the usual vote at the
primary was cast.

Death of Bandera
Proves Heavy
Blow
By Acting Quickly It Is
Believed Peace Will
Be Restored
Rural Gaurds and Volunteers Sent
Against Rebels at Santa Clara,
cuba--open Rebellion
Reported
Ry Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HAVANA, Aug. 23.-All Indications
point to the speedy restoration Of or
der through the medium Of the con-
stituted authorities of the Cuban re-
public.
The killing of the insurrectionary
leader, Gen. Quentin Bandera, today in
an Engagement between rural guards
and band of his followers, is regarded
as dealing the insurrection heavy
blow.
The government is acting with
energy in sending rural guards and
volunteers against the Santa Clara
rebels and dispatching $50 more men to
defend Pinar del Rio against Pine
Guerro.
The capture of San Juan de Martinez
by Guerro's band was not great sur
prise, though it was not expected to
occur so soon The place was protected
by a very small detachment of rural
guards, while Guerro's strength was
much greater. The taking of Pinar del
Rio will be quite another problem.
since there are in that vicinity twice as
many troops as the insurgent Pino
Guerro can muster. 1t Is believed as
more than probable that the troops will
take the. offensive and If possible draw
Guerro into an open fight.
While government reinforcementS
are going forward Guerro's following is
not believed to have been greatly aug
mented by his occupancy of the two
Vuelta Abajo towns.
Public opinion appears to vary ac-
cording to locality, from enthusiastic
adherence to the government, to open
rebellion.
In this city the general attitude is
one of loyalty. There are no ringing
calls to arms and there has been noth-
ing which could be described as a gem
eral rising of the people In defense of
the government
Recruits Fire on Insurgents
A company of Havana recruits ex-
changed shots today with a detach-
ment of insurgents near Guines. One
volunteer and policeman were in
jured.
Col. Rojas and all three of the conn
panies of artillery stationed in the
Havana forts have been orderedf to
Pinar del Rio, the authorities consider
ing that Havana is sufficiently guarded
by rural guards and police and the new
city guards.
President Palma will personally de-
fray the expenses of Gen. Bandera's
funeral.
The members of the general staff of
Gen. Maxine Gomez in the last war
for independence met today and re-
solved to offer their services at the
funeral.
Pine Guerrero has sent threatening
messages to members of the Agrarian
league, stating that he will pillage
their plantations If they organize forces
against the insurrection.

rain storm prevailed in Kansas City
early today, causing more or less seri-
Gus damage.
Nearly six inches of water fell, a
record for the time, three hours and
half. Low lying lands were flooded and

small houses.

flooded and goods damaged.
Trees were stripped of their foliage
and hundreds of sparrows were killed.
AT Elmwood cemetery, five miles east
of the business district, serious dam
age was done Practically the entire
cemetery grounds were flooded and in
the lower ground a strong current was
formed. This resulted in the washing
out of dozens of graves. AT least 200
bodies were exposed. OK
At Kansas City, Kan, and at Ar
mourdale and Argentine, Kan, across
the line from here, much damage was
suffered by railroads, wholesale houses
and packing houses and several families
had to be taken from their homes by
firemen.
At Kansas City, Kansas, lightning
wrecked the front of the Slavonic Cath
olic church, a small structure. The
freight houses in the Rock Island and
Union Pacific in the west bottoms were
flooded and traffic temporarily stopped
for an hour.
Water entered the Easements of the
packing plants and it was necessary to
pump it out The water drained off
quickly and the damage was compara-
lively light.
At Argentine forty families were
forced from their homes in the bottoms,
but returned to them soon.
