NOT ABLE TO PUT
DOWN REBELLION.
NETTHER SIDE nCKN WIN
War in the Island Bound to Continue
Until United States Steps in IN
der the PIatt observation-disclosures
gents Have Powerful Forces in
the Field.

Havana, Sept 2.-"Neither side
can whip the other" is the concise
statement now heard everywhere in
Havana, and it may also be fairly con
strued to be the growing conviction
of thoughtful persons throughout the
island. In Havana at least THIS con
viction has led, among all unpreju-
diced persons, to expressions OF ard
ent hope that the prerogative OF the
Platt amendment will soon be util-
lied by the United States for the pur-
pose of effectually putting an end to
the condition that everybody believes
is otherwise bound to grow more and
more intolerabIe.
Nobody appears to believe the in
surgents will take Havana, although
this is not regarded as impossible,
especially when it is considered that
cooperation in such a movement as
suredly would come from within.
That the instruction is growing
constantly and undeniably is evil
denced every day and the decree of
pardon recently extended by the gov
eminent has brought no appreciable
change in the situation. One of the
few Americans who joined the insur-
gent ranks came into Havana Satur-
day night. He informed the Associ-
ated Press that the $4,000 insurgents
now south of Artemisa in scattered
parties shortly will concentrate with
others from the vicinity of Guanajay
with the intention of capturing both
Artemisa and Guanajay and holding
the entire width of eastern Pinar del
Rio province. They will thus con-
troll the situation far better than did
the Spanish troops in the days of the
famous Trocha and at precisely the
same points.
The insurgents already have taken
Cabanas and Bahia Honda on the
north coast of Pinar del Rio province,
and according to conservative state
ments have easily Is per cent. Of the
people of this district with them.

CANS BEATS NELSON IN THE
FoRTY-sECOND ROUND.
DECISION DUE TO A FOUL
Battling Dane Deliberately Strikes
Unfair Blow and Referee Siler
Awards WeI-Earned Victory to
Black Fighter-Winner Breaks
Hand But Keeps PIuckiIy on.

Goldfeld, Nevada, Sept 4.-Bat-
Ting Nelson deliberately fouled Joe
Cans in the forty-second round of
the best and longest fight seen in
many years. Both men were tired
when the fight ended, but Cans was
apparently the stronger He was away
ahead on points and had smashed
and cut Nelson all through the
fight without being badly hurt him
self Shortly after the forty-second
round commenced the men were in
their usual clinch. Nelson had his
head on Cans shoulder and his arm
down. Several times he hit Cans
below the belt, apparently feeling for
a vital spot. At last he drew back
his right arm and hit Cans a vicious
blow square in the groin. The
colored boy sank to his knees and
rolled over ON his back. Referee Siler
without hesitation ordered Nelson to
his corner and awarded the fight to
Cans on a foul Siler's decision re-
ceived almost unanimous approval
Cans in many ways put up the
most remarkable battle. His work
was the more wonderful when it IS
known that in the 33d round he
broke his right hand. Never after
that did he strike blow with it,
af hnr
jolts while clinching.
The first rs rounds were very fast,
After that the men slowed up and
only at intervals was there a rally.
Although Cans was far ahead of Mel
son in points and most of the time
looked like a sure winner, Nelson put
up wonderful fight on his side. The
endurance and recuperative powers
shown by Nelson were extraordinary.
Time and time again Cans would
jolt him on the jaw, seconding the
Dane back. His knees would bend
and his eyes become glazed, but he
always fell into c1inch and held on
and would then come back fighting as
hard as ever in his peculiar style. On
nearly half a dozen occasions when it
seemed that another blow would put
the white boy out the. gong rang and
saved him. On several occasions,
however, Nelson apparently had the
advantage. He would hit Cans as
they broke from a clinch and the
colored boy would hang on the
wrestle. Cans fought remarkably
clean fight. He was fam in every
thing.

Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 4.-Fhe ar
rest of Stensland, the Chicago bank
@, yesterday was due to Assistant
States Attorney Harry Olsen, a tel
egram being addressed to Stensland
by his son announcing an important
remittance and which was addressed
to Gibraltar or Tangier, putting the
Justice on the track. Olsen, who
was in Paris on vacation, was at
once instructed to follow up the
clue and arrest the fugitive. On his
arrival at Tangier, he was convinced
that he was on the right track, as
Stensland had presented himself at
several banks and tried to get let
tiers of credit for large sums. He
had actually deposited $4,000 in
Compton d'escompte. 1t is a
strange coincidence that the fugitive
had assumed the name of Olsen and
profting by this fact, the attorney
presented himself at Stensland's no.
tel representing himself as his son,
and learned that the latter had just
left for Gibraltar. Olsen was just in
time to catch the boat. Reaching
Tangier he found that Stensland had
just started back to Tangier on board
the German steamer Oldenburg. o.
sen Immediately chartered steamer
and by travelling under full steam ar
rived at Tangier before the Olden-
burg which he boarded on its arrival
at $3.50 yesterday morning. He recog-

OF REVOLUTION.
ALL EYES ON PEASANTRY
Harvest Almost Completed and Soon
1t Will Be Known Whether Country
Laborers Will Join Violent Move
ment-Disorders Again Rampant
in Baltic Provinces.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2.-The re-
newal of terrorism on large scale
has greatly intensified the hostility
Of the ruling classes against the Jews,
who long have been regarded as the
brains of the revolution, and it is be-
lieved has correspondingly diminished
the chances of the Jews obtaining
more than nominal enlargement Of
their rights. Every official report of
an assassination or other crime enpha-
sizes the role played in it by Jews,
and the past week saw the launching
of two parties, the national at St.
Petersburg, and the Russian popular
party" at Moscow, the principal
pIanks in whose platforms are for the
exclusion of Jews from all political
activity and from service in the
army, the latter to be committed as in
the cases Of Tartars and Films. for q
money consideration. The Moscow or
ganization fatty proposes to rid the
country of Jews by endorsing the
Zionist movement and urging the
government to assist in the work OF
expatiation.
In the Baltic provinces, where ter
rorism is again rampant, near Ven
den, the wife and children of peas
ant who was considered to be re-
dictionary were first shot and then al
lowed to perish in the flames which
destroyed their residence. A teacher
who took the place of a striker" was
ambushed at night and his body rid
died with bullets.
All eyes are now directed toward
the country, where, within the next
few weeks, the peasants will have
finished the harvest. In the cities
the government has demonstrated it's
ability to hold down the proletariat
and unless the peasants rise, little be-
yond individual acts of terrorism is
expected to take place this fall.
Some renewals Of agrarian disorders
have already been reported, but the
details surrounding these are meager,
the government having returned to
the policy of not permitting either
transmission or publication of news
of peasant disorders until it is veri-
fed by official reports.

Warsaw, Sept. 2.-Newspapers here

turers of substituting Polish revolu-

the American embassy, and several
other Americans attended the annual
military dinner Saturday evening on

ident Francis of ST. Louis arrived az
the palace 20 minutes before the time
set for the dinner, in order to present
medals and diplomas awarded the
emperor in recognition of his services
for the success of the St Louis expo
sition. His majesty expressed great
admiration for the medals and di
plomas, and praised the designs and
execution of the work He said he
would treasure them in the faGuEy
archives. He also expressed the
hope that Germany's participation N
the exposition not only would increase
trade between the two countries, but
promote good feeling between the peo-
pies. The emperor referred to the
recent discussion in the United States
with reference to his paying a visit
to that county. He said he was graft
fed to learn that the people of the
United States took so much interest
in him, but it was impossible for him
to visit America, as there was too
much to do at home. The gold med

TRADE CONDITIONS.

Business.

NEW YORK. March 3.-R. G. Dun n
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Prospects are most encouraging for
continued activity in the commerclal
world. S~easonable merchandise is go
ing into consumption more freely ana
preparations for a large spring traue
keep shipping departments busy Mer-
camille collections are still somewhat IL
regular, although satisfactory on the
whole. especially in view of the hrm
money market. Manufacturing plants
report little idle machinery except at
northwestern flour mills. where the
heavy output has exceeded demands
for Il time.
Probably the best news of the week
was the prompt response to President
Roosevelt's pacific letter to the contest
ing coal interests. A meeting has been
arranged for March 10, at which it Is
believed concessions will be made on
both sides.
Commercial failures in February
were only 96S in number against lob
last year, but liabilities increased from
50, 7S0,370 to $10.S59,G19 owing TO a
few large brokerage defaults. Trading
losses were almost $ 2,0O0,000 less than
in 1905. while Il small increase occurred
in manufacturing liabilities.
