Havana, Sept. 5.-As days and
weeks pass with no appreciate dimi-
hutton Of the revolution apprehension
increases. The most conservative re-
ports from the country districts Of the
provinces of Pinar del Rio, HAVANA,
and Santa Clara are to the effect that
two-thirds of the people in the coun-
try and small towns of these three
provinces are insurgents in senti-
ment, IL not in fact. It is generally
believed that the government ultimate
" will subdue the insurrection, but in
the meanwhile the crops cannot be
developed, and it is a grave question
whether the rebellious spirit even
then can be actually quelled to the ex-
t0nt Of restoring the country to
normal self-goyerning status. A
realization of this is the cause of the
renewal OF efforts for the restoration
Of peace. General Mario Menocal,
whom the people trust as one capable
OF bringing the warning factions to-
gether, IL such a thing is possible,
came to Havana Tuesday and held two
conferences with President Palma.

tute negotiations with the insurgent
leaders General Menocal and a few
merchants and planters, held con-
terence Tuesday night to discuss the
proposal to make an attempt to open
negotiations with the insurgents and
the two generals intend to call upon
the leaders of the Liberal and Mode
rate parties individually and see what

Press has reason to believe, Is in a

which gives the full programme of the
revo1utionists' policy.
The fitting out of troops to take the
field against the insurgents is being
rushed day and night. General Rod
riguez, commander of the rural guard,
said
1--WE have worked hard and have
accomplished already more than we
expected. We received Tuesday mill
ions of cartridges and we have all the
guns we can use. There will no
longer be shortage of horses, as we
have 1000 here and 1000 coming from
the United States. We are sending
out 100 recruits from Camaguey and
more are coming from the interior"
Army officers admit the seriousness
ef the rebellion and admit that its
Suppression will be matter Of a long
time.
General Rodriguez denies the rumor
Of a conflict near Cienfuegos.
The Associated Press is informed
from an authentic source that a big
uprising has been planned to take
place shortly in Santiago province.
Colonel Sima's detachment of rural
guards Tuesday encountered band of
forty insurgents near Canasi, in the
western part of Havana province. The
opposing forces exchanged shots for
an hour, when the rural guards
charged the insurgents and killed two,
including the leader, Antonio Con
gales, and captured six. The insur-
gents then scattered, leaving their
horses, some arms and equipments.
