 Early Bad News but Relieved by
 Facts.
 Havana, Sept 9.-Government, mili- tary and railroad officials and the newspaper correspondents were thrown into state of excitement to- night by men who had arrived here from Paso Real with stories that the armored train which left Havana BE1- day and met with various obstacles be- yond Harradura had been thrown from the tracks and it's 300 men, machine guns, horses and equipment captured, AS these tales were confirmed by the Western railroads first telegraphic ad- vices from Paso Real they were believ- ed to be true until authentic reports of
  actual occurrences were wired by those who had returned to Paso Real from the scene.
 Paso Real, Sept 9.-The government troop train which left Havana Friday jumped the tracks two and one- thtrd miles east of Consolation del Sur The train was surrounded by several hun dred insurgents commanded by Fino Guerra in person and sustained a fire all Saturday night and until g o'clock this morning. The train would have been captured but for the timely arrfv- al of Colonel Avalos and 400 men. who had fought their way through from Consolaoion del Sur.

 The government forces had one man killed and six wounded, including cap- tain Ravanna, who was slightly in- jured.
 The fourth week of the rebellion openes with the governments farcaa better equipped and improved in disci- pline, but enlistments are slow. ! The veterans peace committee con- tinues hopeful of being able to persuade Pino Guerra to cease activities tempo rarily and possible of inducing him to come to Havana and join in the nego- tiations for peace, but the attitude of the leading liberals continues to pre- clude hope of an immediate peace. At the veterans meeting this afternoon a resolution was formally adopted to use peaceful means to stop the war and if these failed that sufficient army should be raised to crush 1t by force.
 Meanwhile intervention by the Unit edStates is being discussed on all sides Many Cubans who hitherto were not favorable to intervention now beneve that it will be the only means of piac- l lnb Cuba on a peace basis.
