so the big balloon was seen to shoot away
from the parachute, which fell. completely

ants rushed forward. but could do nothing.
The body Of the falling woman struck the
ground with such force that the sound
could be heard all over the large park
where the ascension was made.

INSURGENTS HIT HARD.
Signal Victory for Palma Troops Over
Guzman's Force.

At the moment yesterday when the Gu
ban government at Havana was issuing a
proclamation offering pardon to rebels who
would lay down their arms. its forces were
dealing the most telling blow that has yet
been struck against the insurgents in the
field.
For several days Gen. Guzman's force of
insurgents. which was variously estimated
at from 300 upward, contemplated an at
tack on Cienfuegos. Col. Vale, with q de-
tachmsnt Of rural guards and volunteers,
engaged Guxman yesterday, and the con-
flict resulted in disaster to the insurgents.
They lost seventeen men killed and many
wounded, while the loss to the government
force was one man killed.
A cablegram from San Juan de Martinez
says: An Associated Press correspondent
spent Sunday night in Pima Guerra's camp.
Guerra said he was willing to talk for the
American people, and said:
II want 1t understood that will not &C.
cept any offers Of compromise with the
Cuban government, but I would be glad to
arbitrate with properly accredited repre-
sentatives Of the United States appointed
by President Roosevelt, on the basis only
Of a new presidential election in Cuba.
Otherwise we shall stay out indefinitely.
We could not trust the promises Of the Pal
ma government in any case"
Guerra is all-powerful at present among
the people Of that region. He believes most
confidently he could take San Juan de Mar
tinez and defeat the government troops any
night or any day.

DALNY A FREE PORT
PROBLEM OF GUARDING FRONT
AND BACK DOORS.

Mr.. Miyaoka the Japanese charge. has
notified the State Department that Japan
will open Dalny to the commerce OF all ma
lions after September 1. It Is to be free
port. and no import or export duty Will
be levied on articles of commerce imported
Into or exported from Kwan-to-shu
through Dalny. From the same date ships
OF all nations will be permitted to ply and
engage in traffic between Dainy. or Tairen.
as the town is now called. and all the ports
OF Japan that are open to foreign COM
merce.
The following official statement Is made:
'.Apropos of the announcement Of this
decision OF the imperial government to open
the port of Tairen to the commerce of all
nations. tt will be recalled that the atti-
tude OF Japan on the subject of the estab-
lishment of Chinese customs at the port of
Tairen for the purpose of collecting import
duties on merchandise destined for Man.
churfa, has been a matter of comment in
the press. 1t Is pointed out that the es-
tablishment of such customs at Tairen. un-
accompanied by the establishment OF SINH
lar customs at the Russo Manchurian from
tier, would be disastrous not only to the
trade OF Japan. but to the trade Of all
other nations which can ship merchandise
to Manchuria only by the sea route.
THE Eastern Chinese railway Is the
great artery of Manchurfan commerce, and
1t Is OF utmost Importance that goods or
merchandise that enters Manchuria from
Southern Manohurian railway shall stand
In no more unfavorable position that the
merchandise that enter Manchuria from
the north by the Eastern Chinese railway.
and more especially as by the treaty be-
tween Russia and China articles of COM
merce entering China from the Russian
frontier by that railway are subject to only
two-thirds of the tariffs that are imposed
on articles imported through the open ports
on the coast Of China.
IF Chinese customs were to be established
solely at Tairen while goods entering by
the back door from the Russian frontier
were to be exempt from the payment OF
even two-thirds of the ordinary customs
tariff, the Southern Manchurian railway
would be seriously handicapped. On the
question of the establishment OF Chinese
customs at Tairen Japan's contention has
merely been that it would be unjust unless
customs were simultaneously established
at the Russo Chinese frontier. so that the
back door may equally be guarded when
the front door is closed to duty-free entry"

FOR BRYAN'S ARRIVAL
GOTHAM CITIZENS ASKED TO
DISPLAY AMERICAN FLAGS.

Acting Mayor MCGOWAN said, in New York
yesterday. that 1t was his desire that all
citizens should hang out American flags in
! honor of Mr.. Bryan on his arrival Thurs
day. The acting mayor said that even II
people did not sympa thize with Mr.. Bryan $
views he believed that all the visitors to the
city would regard the display of flags as a
tribute to their section of the country.
The headquarters of the Bryan reception
committee took on an appearance Of real
activity yesterday. for which the Nebras-
kan delegation Of ia. headed by Jim"
Dahlman. the cowboy mayor Of Omaha, and
six other democratic mayors was RESPONSE
BILE.
Early in the morning. the Nebraskans
set up their headquarters in the Victoria
Hotel elected HI. 8. Daniels. young
Omaha lawyer and secretary of the Nebras-
ka democratic state committee. as secre-
tary of the delegation, put up a lot OF mot
toes like, What is home without a Bryan"
I'VE knew they would come to know him. y
and went down to the bar. The day had
been well begun.
The first real excitement of the day came
with an informal meeting held at 10 o'clock
In the morning. Dahlman. as the flrst dem
ocratic mayor Of Omaha In several years
presided, and the other six democratic
mayors sat up in front with him. The first
resolution submitted to the delegation was:
Resolved, That this delegation make
call upon William Randolph Hearst and
thank him for the support he has given te
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan through his
papers in the past.
Nothing Doing for Hearst.
1.-THE only thing we have got to think
about in connection with this resolution.
said Mayor ''Jim," ''is whether Hearst is
for Mr.. Bryan now, and as l understand
Mr.. Hearst Is no longer for Mr.. Bryan,
move that the proposed visit be abandoned
for the present"
The motion was adopted.
lis there any sentiment for Hearst out
in the western country" said Mayor Jim"
in response to a question. well. there's
a sentiment and damned big sentiment
out there for any one who is for Bryan.
There was such sentiment for Hearst
when people felt that he was pulling with
the rest of us for Bryan. but now that he's
Topped that sentiment has gone deader than
door nail. Nebraska wild for Bryan.
and the whole west is wild for him, That's
all there Is to It,"
The boomers hung around long enough
badges telling every one that they were
organs home folks" and then slowly
melted away in twos and threes to wan
der around New York.
Former Gov. w. s. Jennings Of Florida
arrived today with thirty Of his fellow
citizens to attend the Bryan reception.
Others to come will swell the Florida
delegation to 100. d. y. Fletcher of jack
sonville, chairman of the Florida demo-
cratic state centrals committee, is with the
delegation.
