New York, Aug. 27.-The simplified

two distinguished British scholars had
accepted membership to testify their
sympathy with the new movement to
improve English photography. One is
DR.. J. A. H. Murray, the senior editor

Joined the simplified spelling board
some weeks ago. The other is Prof. Jo-

elections Brander Matthews, chair
man of the board, says:
prof. Skeat the editor of the Eng

editors of the three chief American
dictionaries, Webster, the Century

A CRUSHING BLOW
Dealt Gen. Guzman's Force by Rural
Guards Under Col. Vale.

Havana, Aug. 27.-At the moment to-
day when the government was issuing
its proclamation If Offering liberty To
insurgents who would lay down its
arms its forces we're giving the most
telling blows struck against insurgents
in the field. For several days it had
been stated that Gen. Guzmans force
of Insurgents. which was varously cS-
timatcd at from 200 upwards, contom-
plated an attack upon Ci"nfuegos. COL
Vale with 4 detachment Of Rural
Guards and volunteers was dispatched
for til" purpose Of engaging GuZman
and breaking up tho bands. The on
counte" Of the two forces today result
ted in the worst disaster which the in
SurgentS have sustained up to this
time. They lost II men killed and
many wounded, while the loss to the
government force was one man killed.
The inSurrcction seems shaking. al
though they may not be as near as
members of the government profess to
believe. FauStino Pino) Gurreau, the
inSurgent leader operating in the prov
InCc Of Panar Del Rio, in q signed
statement tclcgra phed 10 The Associa-
ted Press tonight, declares that he is
as determined as ever that the last
Presidential election shall he annulled
before there can he peace IN Cuba.
That Gucrreau'S force of 1000 men is
well aimed and Suppdied with amniu-
milton md food is amply verified. Their
creates drawback now is the lack of
money: but the people of the western
part of Palma Del Rio are furnishing
them with all the supplies needed, TAX
ing in return orders on the new Cuban
government. and in many cases refus-
ing to accept any consideration.
The government offer of amnesty,
which was issued this afternoon. is var
iously received. 1t is impossible to say
what its effect will be upon those to
whom it is addressed. Alfredo Zayas.
President of the Senate and leader of
the Liberal party, stated tonight that
in his opinion as a lawyer, Sec. Mon
talvO could not legally issue cub an or
Ger. for the constitution provides that
only The President may make such 4
proclama ton. which must be counter
signed by some member of the cabinet.

Secretary MontalvO, on the contrary.
said t. The Associated Press that the
offer Of clcmency was issued by the di-
rect order of President Palma and WAS
gaZcttcd officially.
The foreign element, including many
Americans. criticize the offer of anlnes-
ty as Il weak and disappointing act and
showing Il desire for peace at any price
and Il Willingness to sacrifice the pos
sibility Of future security to a present
eXpediency.
Secret Montavo's order does rot
sprir; uors who are now in Jail in Ha :
yana, and the question has arisen as to
what shall be done with them.
4 number of insurgents are known to
be returning quietly to their homes in
the province of Havana and in the
eastern part Of the province of PinaS
Del Rio. In the western part of the
latter province. the situation remains
unchanged. Gcrra knows nothing Of
the Montvalo order and if he did it is
altogether unlikely that it would affect
his course materially. The district il
which he is operating is inhabited by
Liberals. who are practically all tenta
tive. if not active sympathizers with
tn" insurgents.
Then. too. Gerra has hilly Businesses
t. which he rctires nightly and from
which it will be practically impossible
To route him. A favorable feature OF
the situation in rinar Del Rio is that
Guerra will not fight if he can help il.
He intends. he says, to remain out in
definitely to protest against the sub
SerVicnce of the Palma administration.
The Associated Press is reliably in
formed that ASbert'S force. the NAM
inSurg mt body now in the province ot
Payan1. amounts to 80 men and there
are not exceeding 100 more in small
parties. The eastern part of the PROV
irce Of Pinar Del Rio is practically I'M
protected. but there have only petty
dcprcdations by small bands.
There is some question whether the
Santa Clara bands called MendietaS
party We're actually commanded by the
captured leader. but undoubtedly hc
was with them most of the time.
The MatanZas Insurgents cut little
figure, and Eastern Cuba remains
quiet.
