CUBAN Insurgents
Capture A Town

Havana, Aug. 23.-The insurgents
in the province of Pinar del Rio cap
tured their first city there Wednesday.
At nine o o'clock the force led by Pine
Guerrero, an eX-congressman and an
influential man, one who was thought
to be many miles eastward and sundry
other insurgents band attacked San
Luis, which is situated on the railroad,
about 10 miles west of Pinar del Rio
city. A sharp and decisive engagement
followed, during which number of
men We're killed or wounded. The
town was defended by less than 80 ru-
raj guards, who surrendered to the IN
surgents and are held as prisoners.
The ln,urgent forces are in possession
of the railroad station and of the town,
which Is resumlug normal conditions.
by the capture of San Luis, which has
about 5000 inhabitants, the insurgents
have obtained an important base for
future operations.
General Rodriguez, commander of
the rural guard says:
YOU can tell the American people
that Cuba is entirely competent to cope
with the insurrection The flood of
rumors in all directions about the or
ganlaztion of insurrectiouary bands in
great numbers are not borne out by our
reports, or, so far as can be learned,
by the facts. The result of the Ell
counter at San Luis is still not known
definitely but it is known we inflicted
some losses on the enemy in that dis
trict
The much talked of movement in
Santa Clara province has not been en-
countered, and no insurrecionists have
been seen there by our forces.
I'VE have today equipped and sent
out in various directions 300 volunteers
under competent officers. We have
plenty of rifles and ammunition for all
who enlist ut present, and more Shave
been ordered from the United States.
We have thousands of old but Sc rvice-
able guns.
We believe the the loyal people are
taking up arms for the government
faster than the insurgents ale increas.
ing"
While the foregoing is typical of ut
ternaecs Of government officials, there
are evidences of threatening increas-
ed number of the insurrectionists.
In the province of Santa Clara the
disatfection is widespread, and in the
province Of Havana a great many peo-
pie are in sympathy with the insur-
gents. In some cases whole ocmmuni-
ties appear to have been carried away
by the recrudescence of insurrectionary
times.
The extent to which this will lead to
open rebellion Is still uncertain.
No lnsurrectonary movement is re-
ported in the province of Matanzas,
which Is the stronghold of the moder-
ate party.

A Modern City.
Valparaiso, which has recently been
destroyed by earthquakes, for a long
time was only small village, exposed
to the attacks of Corsairs. In 1873,
when it had a population of but $50
souls. it was Tillaged by Drake, and
again in 1894 by Sir Richard Haw-
kns.
Valparaiso is a fortified seaport of
Chile. and the most important com
mercial town of the west coast of
South America.
1t has a population of about 150,
coo.
1t is the capital of the province sf
that name and is situated on a large
bay in the Pacific ocean, rs miles west
of Santiago, with which it is connected
by rail
The bay Of Valparaiso, which is well
sheltered on three sides, is bounded
by ranges of hills rising to from 1900
to 1900 feet high. on the slopes Of
which a considerable portion of the
city of Valparaiso is built.
On the south side of the bay are the
spacious suburbs of Neuvo, Maelcon
and Gran Ayenida. from which pass
out on the finest thOroughfares of the
city the Avenida de las Delicias. The
lower central section Of the city is con-
stituted by the Almendral having
regular and attractive streets and
containing the principal business
houses, the Plaza Victoria and the Ma
tional theater.
To the northwest of this section, in
the quarter of the city known as the
Puerto. in which are situated the
greater number of public buildings
and the vast warehouses which line
the quays and docks. In this portion
of the city, however, narrow and
crooked streets are still a feature, but
the newer sections of the city have
an attractive modern appearance, the
buildings being massively built
The city has various academic and
collegiate institutions, naval school.
school for marines, museum of natural
history, photographic bureau, etc, and
its industrial establishments comprise
fOundries railroad and machine shops,
sugar refineries large bottling works
and factories of all kinds Elevators
connect the lower parts Of the city
with the villa section on the heights.
The port of Valparaiso is the terminus
of many important lines of steamers
for. Europe via the straits of Magellan
and Panama, and is the center of The
South American coasting service. 1t
contains a numerous foreign colony,
composed chiefly of British German
and French merchants There is

cIeanina an Old Clock.

Have any of our readers a clock
they value that seems to be near
the end of its career of usefulness?
Does it skip a beat now and then,
and when it begins to strike seem to
be in pain? Let me tell you what
to do. Take bit of cotton batting
the size of hens egg, dip it in kero-
sene and place 1t on the floor of the
clock, in the corner, shut the door
of the clock and wait three or four
days. Your clock will be like a new
one-skp no more, it will strike as
of old, and as you look inside you
will find the cotton batting black
with dust. The fumes of the oil
loosen the particles of dust, and
they fall, thus cleaning the clock.
I have tried it with success.-Na-
