MAY END REBELLION
sANDERA, CUBAN lNsuRcENT
CHIEF, SLAIN IN BATTLE
WAS TERRIBLY MUTILATED
Bandera's Death Believed to Mean
End Of the Revolt In Havana I
Province.

Havana-The body of the negro,
Gen. Quentin Bandera, the most
daring i%nsurgent in Havana province,
who was killed in a battle, lies IN the
morgue at Havana fianked by those OF
two mulatto comrades, all Irightfully
gashed by the long, heavy machetes
of the rural guards, who ended their
career. Across the street, in Neptune
park, a. great crowd, mostly negro
friends of Bandera, are watching the
morgue with silent interest.
1t is believed the insurrectionary
movement in western Havana has
been broken by Bandera's death.
The arrival of Bandera's body here
was the first news of the fight in
which he met his death. The conflict
occurred at the Silveira farm, near
Punta Bravo, Is miles from Havana.
A detachment of 38 mounted rural
guards, under Capt. Ignacio del Gado
and Lieut.. Martinez, searched through
out the night for Bandera's party.
At 8 o'clock in the morning the
guards were breaking through a wire
fence at the edge of the Silveira farm
when they were suddenly fired upon
by Bandera's followers, 20 in number.
The guards rushed upon the insur-
gents, but with the exception of their
chief and his two leading comrades
they all escaped.
The guards made the chief and his
two companions a special object OF at
tack, and all three received several
bullet wounds and were horribly mutt
lated by machete cuts. Not M OF the
guards was wounded.
Bodies Terribly MutiIated.
The bodies of Bandera and his COM
panions were placed in a wagon and
taken to Havana. An examination OF
Bandera's body showed that his prin-
cipal wound was a. severe machete
blow on the head, which cut of his
left ear and made an ugly incision
in his face. He also had bullet wounds
in his arms and breast.
The condition of Bandera's two dead
companions was ever more shocking.
Their faces and heads were terribly
gashed, and they also had machete
wounds in their breasts and On their
arms. The clothes of all three men
showed every evidence of the hard life
which they had been leading while
eluding their pursuers.
Gen. Gomez Enters Denial.
Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, at his for
nal arraignment, denied the allega-
ton that he had engaged in conspiracy
against the government.
The government expects that the
steamer Mexico, which will sail from
New York on Saturday, will bring Is
rapid-fire guns, 10, 900 cartridges
and $4,000 Lee rifles.

DUBIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food

'One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
I took it home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
"But / took coffee right off the
table, and we haven't used a cup of
it since. You should have cen the

1t is the general wish that he be returned
