Embarrassing Silence Follows
PaIma'S Appeal to RevOIu-
ton to Come in and Behave
Itself.
WAR PREPARATIONS
PROCEEDING RAPIDLY
Believed Guerra Is Getting
Strong Enough to Garry Out
Threat of Burning Bridges
and WreCking Trains.

Havana, Aug. 2S.--Tn the absence
of news of fighting between the gov
ernment and insurSent forces today
interest centers in the governments
offer of elemency to those of its enc
mics who will lay down their arms
ana return to their homes.
While the press and public regard
the offer as an important incident OF
the conflict, the result thus far has
not been what the government SEEM
ed to anticipate. Citizens generally
are slow to predict its results and it is
criticised especially in many quarters
because 1t does not fix time limit for
the laying down of arms, thus giving
the insurgents time to test their cause
a while longer and still reserve the
opportunity to quit their cause when
they are satisfied that there is no
chance of success.
Residents of the country districts of
Havana and Pinar Del Rio provinces
uniformly speak respectfully of the
size and conduct of the insurgent
band, and 1t is asserted that the peo-
pie OF the more remote districts are
unquestlonably with them.
The forces of the revolutionary sem
timent do not appear as yet to have
greatly diminished and there are no
signs of laying down of arms, but It
is too early to expect that response to
Secretary Montalvo's order.
Enlstments and other war prepar-
auonS proceeded more rapidly thaR
ever today Scores of horses have
been pressed into service, their abb
sence being one of the most serious
lacks. More volunteers have started
for Pindr Del Rio, and the force in
Pinar Del Rio now is about 400, Whlle
that at San Juan de Martinez is 500.
Extra precautions are being taken ta
guard the railroad between Pinar Del
Rio and San Juan de Martinez. in am,
ticipation of Guerra sending a forC6
against it. His strength Is augment
Ing so much that he may undertake
to carry out his threat of destroying
bridges and wrecking trains.
No special precautions have been
taken as to other railroads as they are
not threatened with molestation.
The forwarding of troops and am
munition to Batabano gives rise to
the belief that some insurgents have
landed on the south coast of western
Pinar Del Rio.
Captain Asbert's band was reported
today near Havana In considerably
larger numbers.

Las Vegas, N. NJ, Aug. 2S.-Claudio

Of age, was brough, TO Las Vegas
this afternoon from Trementna,
charged with having beaten g-year-

The crime is one of the strangest

ties are at loss to supply motive
for the deed. Aragon must have COM

as the body of his victim was man

man form.
The father of the boy came to this
city and told the story ana the off,
GERS went out and arrested Aragon
who came without resistance. The
murderer previously came to the
house of the dead child's mother and

and begged her forgiveness.
The mother refused, and rushing
to the spot described by. Aragon,
found the almost unrecogniZabla
corpse OF her son.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-Two hundred

darting from the thunder clouds. The
early Chaldeans symbolized it with a
trident, and the BabyIonians, learned
in mystic lore, employed a human hand
for the same purpose The bas-reliefs
Of the towers of Nimrud and Malthia.
which are the work OF the later and
more refined Assyrian artists, show the
trident doubled or transformed into
what is known as a sstrifid fascicle.n
This triumph OF the classic art secured
for the ancient Mesopotamian symbol
the advantage over all other represen-
tations of the thunderbolt. The Greeks
represented the storm fire. with the
feathers of bird Of prey. Later on.
when they had begun to incorporate
the Asiatic form Of the symbol with
their own, they put it ia the claws Of
an eagle and made it the scepter OF
Zeus- Gaul received the symbol from
Italy, but soon altered it to the famil-
lar two headed hammer so common on
Gallo-Roman monuments. The same
symbol Is seen on amuIets found in
Germany, Scandinavia, England and
France.
