Palma Offers Forgive ness to Penitents
-Zayas Is Caviling.
The governments offer Of amnesty,
which was issued yesterday afternoon,
is variously received. 1t is impOsst
BILE to say what its effect will be upon
those to whom it is addressed. AL
fredo Zayas, president of the senate
and leader Of the Liberal party, stated
that he was unable TO express any
opinion as to whether the insurgents
would grasp the opportunity offered
them of Surrendering but said that in
( his opinion as a lawyer Secretary
MOntalvO could not legally issue such
an order, for the constitution provides
that only the president may make such
a proclamation, which must be coun-
tersigned by some member Of the cab
met.
Secretary Montavlo, on the contrary,
stated to the Associated Press that
! the offer of clemency was issued by
the direct order of President Palma.
and also gazetted officially. The sec
rotary added that the document was
F! in reality an order of the secretary of
the interior, issued by direction of the
president to General Rodriguez, COM
mander of the rural guards. The for
eign element, including many citizens
] of the United States, criticiseS the Of
| fer of amnesty as a weak and disap-
pointing action. showing a desire for
peace at any price, and a willingness
to sacrifice the possibility of future Sc
curity 20 a present expediency.
The offer of amnesty allows all in
surgentS who repent Of their errors
to go free to their homes, excepting in
surgenta who are prisoners in The
! hands of the government forces and
captured commanders of inSurgent
| bands, who will be detained until the
| government determines whether they
are to be allowed their freedom or are
to be tried by the courts. All chiefs
Of insurgent bands who surrender
themselves to the government forces,
or who surrender with their followers
and their arms, will also be allowed
to return to their families. Finally, to
all who surrender the government guar
antees that they will never be dis
turbed in any manner as a result Of
the part they have taken in the up
rising, and that they will be allowed to
follow their usual pursuits without
molestatiOn.

LANDS FOR THE PEASANTRY
Distribution of 100000 Acres OF
Crown Lands Ordered.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 2S.-The dis
tribution Of crown appanages, the first
part of the administration agrarian
programme by which it is hoped 10
win the peasantry to the support of
the government at the coming cleo
tons, was put in effect when ukase
was published transferring 100000
acres of appanage lands to the Peas
ants bank for distribution to the peas
ants.
The urgency of the situation is such
that the ukase, which was signed the
day of the attempt on the life of Pre-
mier tSOlypin, was gazetted without
waiting for final decision as to the
method and terms Of payment. The
principal Question-whether the latter
shall be thirty-three or sixty years =
has not yet been decided. The an
nouncement on this point and of the
ransfer of 100000 acres of crown
lands will be made later.
The following kinds Of appanages
are excluded fro mthese operations:
Districts devoted to factories. foun-
dries OF any mining concerns, or pro-
vided with agricultural or other valu-
able buildings or gardens in a high
state of cultivation; those unsuited foS
farming. and finally crown lands in the
Crimea and Trans-Caucasia and those
appertaining to the BielovieZh forest.
The appOrtionment of land assigned
for sale and the taxation impossible
on said lands will be fixed by the
agrarian committee appointed by the
imperial ukase of March 4, with the
assistance of the Peasants bank. The
preparation Of the scheme of transfer,
and the arrangements with the comp
troller Of appanage lands, and the
final settlement Of the conditions of
sale by imperial decree. are cOnfded
to the minister OF the imperial house
hold who will consult with the min
listers or the interior and finance and
the chief agricultural authorities.

Havana, Aug. 2S.-At tie moment
when the government was issuing a
proclamation Offering pardon to rebe.s
who would lay down their arms it's
forces were dealing tie most telling
blow that has yet Eeen struck against
insurgents in the field. For several
days it had been stated that General
Guzman's force of Insurgents, which
was varionsly estimated at from 200
upwards contemplated an attack ON
Cienfuegos. Colonel Vale, with a de-
tachment of rural guards and vOlun-
teers, was dispatched to CenfuegOS
for the purpose of engaging GuzmaA
and breaking up the band.
Bad Blow to the Rebels.
The encounter OF the two forces re-
suited in the worst disaster which the
Insurgents have sustained up to this
time. They lost seventeen men killed
and many wounded, while the loss to
the government force was one man
killed. The government is without
further particulars of the fight That
the insurrectiOn is in shaky condition

may not be as near as members of the
government profess to believe.
