SHOOTING OUT OF SEASON
Massachusetts, Gunnsu Will Be Watched BY
Game Warden.

Game Warden Nichols OF Norsh
Adams is TO pay special attention from
now on TO hunters from Massachusetts
who are In the habit OF going into New
York state or Vermont to shoot birds
before the season opens there. II does
not appear to be generally known
among sportsmen that to shoot game
birds out OF the state and take them
irto Massachusetts Is violation OF the
game laws aud is punishable with q
fine.
No person In Massachusetts is sup.
posed TO have in MS possession q par.
fridge, quail or woodcock before the
season opens there, for In such cases
either the law against bringing them
across the state line has been violated
or they have been shot there during
the close season. Hereafter any hun
ter OF Massachusetts, known To have
birds In his possession will be appre.
hended II possible. The season In Yer.
mont has already opened while that In
New York. state will come the 18th.
The New York state and Vermont
game wardens will be asked to coop
crate with the Massachusetts deputies
in an effort to discourage the prac-
tlce.

was attended by President Palma, Vice
President Mendcz Capote and all the
members of the ministry. 1t had been
decided to declare all peace projects
Off.
1t was agreed at this meeting that
the government tonld not consider the
propositions of the Liberals, the main
features of which are that President
Palma shall resign and that the vice
president and members Of the cabinet
shan do likewise or that a new general
election shall be held. Immediately
after the close of the cabinet meeting
Vice President MendeZ CapOte declar-
ed that the government never would
consent To such terms, but that ii
would fight to the end.
Reports from the interior say that
Alfred Laborde and hundred men de
serted TO the insurgents; that Pine
Guerra. leader of the insurgents, sent
LabOrde back to the authorities, say
ing he did not want such men, but add
ing that he was grateful for the men
and munitions that came with the
leader.
Iaborde was charged recently with
murder and was placed in Jail near
Havana. He offered the government
that If he should be paroled he would
organize hundred men and fight foI
the government, agreeing to return for
trial after the conclusion of hostilities.
His offer was accepted, with the result
that he deserted with his command to
the rebels. Laborde was prominent as
Cuban flibuster previous to the
Spanish American war.
-Four more batteries Of machine guns
from Havana arrived safely in the re-
gion east of Consolation del Sur and
near the point where the rebels de-
stroyed bridges and disabled the first
armored rapid fire train sent out The
second train was fred upon several
times.
A sweeping victory over the rebels
is officially proclaimed. The govern
ment announces that the armored mill
tary train was rescued from the insur-
genus ulitl liSiii ny AOloAtl ANuiOS
between Herradura and Consolation,
the rebels having 300 killed and the
loyalists only one killed and six wound
ed. This result, il is said, was due to
the rapid fire guns. The official proc
lamation of the victory ends thus:
"Our forces repaired the railway line
and are proceeding in triumphal march
to Pinar del Rio"
Sixty more residents of Havana and
its immediate vicinity have been In
dicted for completely with the rebels.
They have been refused the privilege
of bail
Small bands of insurgents entered
Paso Real at IL o'clock a. III. They
created no trouble and later proceeded
in the direction OF the Santa Clara
river. The battalion under Major
Clews, to protect the men repairing
the railroad, also Is moving TO the

Colonel Avalos and give the detach-
ment under Captain Webster a fresh
