senate, and leader of the liberal party,
said:
THE liberals will take no action or
make any official statment with regard
to the present revolt unless the inde-
pendence of Cuba should be menaced by
actions of the revolutionists or the gov
ernment, which would be likely to bring
outside interference"
Senior Zayas admitted that 1t was true
that the majority of the insurgents are
liberals, but claimed that there are also
moderates and Nunestas among the insur-
gents. The liberals, he said, always had
been opposed to resorting to arms, and
did not countenance the present method
of protest against the manner of the hold
ing of the last elections.

Were Whipped Into Line.

"What rot! He knows that nearly ev-
cry one of his republican members of
the present House was opposed to his
schemes which he stole from the demo-
Gratis, and that II 1t had not been for
his power of patronage and his power to
whip them into line on those grounds
alone, they would have been defeated in
the House as they were in the Senate. He
says his policy that they carried out was
carefully thought out policy" and he
knows that Is not SO. 1t had been thought
out by the democrats, not by him or his
republican administration. And now he
says 1t would stop things and substitute
a purposeless confusion" He simply is a
badly scared man and he knows what a
democratic House means for him and his
rotten administration. That's why he Is
getting so busy In this fight for the House.
He would rather have a republican House
that would pass the same old resolutions
refusing to investigate the postoffice de-
partment and the other departments OF
the government than to tell the truth and
have a Congress that would investigate
and let the country have the truth. The
people of the country, democrats and re-
publicans alike, seem to have got it stuck
into their crops that Mr.. Roosevelt Is in
fallible and can do no wrong; that he
is working honestly and consistently In
that he is a fakir and four-husher and the
deepest scheming politician In all the
country. He never hesitates to deny any

Havana, August 24-Unoffcial advices
received from the western part of the
province of Pinar del Rio tonight are to
the effect that the insurgent forces now
concentrating west of oan Juan dc Mar
tinez are far more formidable than had
been supposed, and also are better sup
piled for camping and long and aggres-
sive campaign.
A prominent resident of Havana, whose
word is beyond question, and who re-
turned this afternoon from three-days'
tour in the vicinity of san Luis and san
Juan de Martinez informed the Associ-
ated Press that Pine Guerra's following
in Pinar del Rio now is from 1900 70
1000 men, He said that he is abundantly
supplied with every possible necessity.
The behavior of his followers is excel
lent.
All the tobacco plantations owned by
AnIericans and American properties are
being placed under the American flag and
are not being molested. He declared that
fully a hundred rural guards had de-
serted and Joined the insurrectionists, and
that practically all Cubans in western
Cuba were sympathlzers with the move
ment.
report has been received here from
Santiago that Gen. Jesus Rabi, with 2o0o
veterans, will come to the vuelta Abajo
10 help put down the insurrection.
The governments extra expense since
August 10 has been $270,OOO. The critics
of the government privately ridicule the
plans OF the government to bring rapid
fire guns to the island, asserting that the
experiences of the Spanish with these
guns in Cuba proved their uselessness in
the field They admit, however, their value
for the protection of cities and highways.
The government. 1t is understood, has
sent to Texas to buy 1000 horses for the
army. 1t has already bought 800 horses
here.
Government Under Big Expense.
The government has caoled to Gen. Rus
Rivera. minister to Central and South
American countries, to return Immediate
ly to Cuba.
The reported arrest of Orestes Ferrera
is denied, but it is admitted that he
is under surveillance.
More troops will be forwarded to the
western districts tomorrow.
There Is grave doubt II the force OF
government troops now at San Juan de
Martinez would be able to Withstand an
attack by the forces of Pine Guerra.

Why Truth Is Not Printed.

That's why the truth has not been
printed about this political fakir. who
could make more money selling soap at
the tail gate of a wagon than any fakir
/ ever heard of or saw in my life.
"I have no managing editor paying me
a salary, and / am not afraid to tell the
truth. The papers l write for are not
afraid to print the truth. and | want the
people to believe that / am telling the
truth. There Is no money In 1t for me
not to tell the truth. Mr.. Roosevelt has
done more "double-crossing" since he be-
came President than all of the other
Presidents put together. He has howled
louder as a champion of civil service re-
form than any of them, and he had de-
hberatey violated II oftener than any of
them. He has dined a niger at his table.
and then equivocated about that. He has
had one of his idotic minions have a
lady dragged out OF the White House by
the heels by nigger policeman, and
then has appointed that mlnion to the
highest place within his gift within the
District of Columbia. simply because the
people OF this district are powerless to
avenge the insult by their votes He drag
ged the railroad rate bill In the dirt, and
tried to drag the names of Tillman and
Joe Bailey after it. until Joe Bailey got
up in his place In the Senate and brand
ed him a liar, and he did not open his
chops. When will the people come to
their senses? It's about time"

he is not within the pale of right, justice
or decency, In the meaning of the Eng
lish language. If he had advised, as the
democrats suggested, that instead of fos-
tering the armor plate trust and building
ten million dollar battleshps-if he had
advised along the recommendations of the
war and navy departments, that they
build submarine boats as coast defenses
at one-tenth the cost of battleships, he
would have recommended things that the
people need without costing them money
and paying 1t into the Golfers of the steel
trust.
President Roosevelt already has got
the republican buck ague' concerning the
complexion of the next House of Repre-
sentatives He is plumb scared and that's
why he has just writ the letter to Jim
Watson of Indiana.

INSPECTING BAKESHOPS
Deputy Inspector Quinlan of Hartford
 in Town For a Few Days.

John H. Quinlan, deputy inspector of bake shops has been in town the past few days making a tour with Food and Milk Inspector pr Keeley, through those shops which were found to be in an unsanitary condi- ton when Dr Keeley and Sanitary Inspector Callahan made an investi- gatlon last month. Mir Quinlan, who halls from Hartford will visit all the bake shops in this city before he de parts, but first took in those places which needed attention. He warned the owners that unless they imrhedi- ately proceeded to clean up their places he would have them closed up. Although the majority of the bake shops in this city are what they should be, especially because of the cleanup caused by the investigation last month, there are few that are very bad. Qulnlan knows that string ent measures have to be adopted with the fellows running these shops, con sequently if they do not comply with his orders they will be hauled into court or forced out of business.
