THE ELKs BIG MINSTREL SHOW
Nearly Ready for Presentation
Change Of Programme Tuesday.

The demand for tickets for the Elks'
ninstrels has been very heavy and
there is now no doubt as to the finan-
cial success of the show. The artis-
tic part of it is giving the committee
no concern whatsoever, for they have
seen enough of the work of the direc-
tors, at the rehearsals so far to abso-
lutely assure them that one of the very
best home talent productions ever seen
on the local stage, will be the result.
Not only that, but the Elks' MINISTRIES
will probably be the most enjoyable
minstrel show professionally or other
wise ever seen here. Attention is
called to the reserved seat sale 1t
opens at Rowley's drug store Friday
morning and the tickets for both
nights will go on at the same time. In
dications are for an immense artistic
and social success and it would be
we'll to reserve seats early so as to
secure choice locations. No one will
be favored-frst come, first served.

lNsuRREcTIoN IN CUBA.

The Cuban insurgents in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio have captured
San Luis, which is situated on the
railroad about ten miles west of Pinar
del Rio city. The town was defended
by less than 100 rural guards, fifty OF
whom surrendered to the insurgents
and are held as prisoners. BY the
capture of San Luis, which has about
10000 Inhabitants, the insurgents have
obtained an important base for future
operations. .....
Colonel Vale, with detachment of
rural guards and volunteers, was dis
patched to Cienfuegos for the purpose
of engaging General Guzman and
breaking up the band. The encounter
Of the two forces resulted in the worst
disaster which the insurgents have
sustained up to this time. They lost
seventeen men killed and many wound
cd, while the loss to the government
force was one man killed.
Unoff1cial advices received from the
western part Of the province of Pinar
del Rio are to the effect that the in
surgent forces now concentrating west
of San Juan de Martinez are far more
formidable than had been supposed
and also are better supplied for cam.
paigning and long and aggressive
campaign is decidedly probable.
General Quentin Bandera, the ia
nous negro leader. Of Havana prov.
ince, who recently headed an insur-
gent band and began operating
against the government, has been
killed in an encounter with rural
guards fifteen miles from Havana.
The insurgent forces commanded by
Pine Guerra have occupied San Juan
de Martinez, the terminus Of the West
ern railroad. The small force of rural
guards which held the town fed at the
approach of the insurgents.
The Cuban government has been
positively informed that General Jose
Miguel Gomez, who recently was a
candidate for the presidency, is at the
head of the present revolution In that
country.

its right. to intervene and maintain

Civil war will be regarded, uader

lions which might breed It. A high
oficial Of the state department said
that one would be as offensive to the
United States as the other.

Developments There.
London, Aug. 29.-The British gov.
eminent is fully alive to the critical
condition of affairs in Persia and to
the alleged efforts Of Germany to OBJ
tain a footing there and 1t is stated
steps doubtless will be taken by the
powers to protect their interests when
q crisis arrives. Thus far the foreign
office says nothing has occurred to
justify outside interference. So far
as Germany's action is concerned she
has done nothing to which Great Brit.
ain or any of the powers could take
exception, her efforts being confined
to the expansion Of trade. The Off
Gals here do not believe that Germany
is trying to secure an island in the
Persian gulf as naval base, as 1t
would be at all times at the mercy of
hostile fleet. AS for commercial
port the officials add there cannot be
any objection to her obtaining one.
