BY Associated Press,
HAVANA, Aug. 21.-Indications to-
night are that the revolution In western
Cuba already has practically reached
its maximum, Tho government and
people generally believe the movement
has received about all the accessions 1t
will be likely to gain.
The promptness Of the government
in arresting the suspected leaders and
plotters In Havana and elsewhere and
in sending reinforcements to the dis
turbed districts has had an excellent
effect in strengthening public conf
dence and overawing sympathizers
with the movement.
On the other hand, Notwithstanding
the quietude in the Pinar del Rio region
throughout the day, peaceable inhabi-
tants of the cities of Pinar del Rio, Con-
solacion del Sur. San Juan de Martinez
and other western towns are in hourly
apprehension of the attack and occu-
patton Of those places.
Situation Grave
The fact that possibly 1000 insurgents
are tending to concentrate in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio upon towns in
adequately guareded by smGll detach-
ment of rural guards, mostly mex
perlenced IN warfare, makes the S1tua-
tion grave; but as the insurgents have
not assumed any strongly offensive at
titude or interfered with trains carry
ing troops horses and supplies it is in
ferred that they are not prepared or
lack the nerve to try for control of the
territory
There have been many rumors today
of fights at various points in the prov
ince Of Pinar del Rio, but they have
not yet been confirmed by government
or press dispatches.
However, night attacks on the city
of Pinar del Rio and other towns con-
tinue to be regarded as a probability.
The government wires are working
freely.
Send Reinforcements
Pinar del Rio, Consolation del Sur
and San Juan de Martinez were rein
forced today by 200 troops The loyal
citizens are well equipped to repel in
vasion.
There was some fighting today in
Havana province, and more is hourly
expected A detachment of rural guards
encountered a portion of banderos,
with which shots were exchanged One
sergeant was killed and the others
scattered Fifty rural guards are in
pursuit of the main band
A detachment of rural guards en-
countered a new party of insurgents
near the town of Guines, twenty miles
from Havana and charged them, TAX
ing three prisoners, including the lead
er of the band and capturing seven
horses.

FALSE ALARM scAREs MANY
Thought They Saw Black Flag Flying
From Observatory
BY Associated Press


SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug. 21-The
population of Santiago was thrown
into a condition Of extreme alarm last
night as the result of the circulation of
false news that the observatory had
announced a second horrible catas-
trophe to be imminent.
People would not sleep indoors and
large numbers spent the night in the
streets and squares
The alarm originated from some per-
sons declaring they had seen the black
flag, the sign of danger, flying from
the observatory, which is situated on
San Cristobal hill.
The shrieking Of steam whistles an
nouncing danger also added to the
alarm, and the police, instead of calm
ing the people, lost their heads and
added to the terror.
President Riesco wrote letter to the
director of the observatory, asking for
an explanation. The director stated
that the whole thing was a misappre-
hension on the part of the people.

BY Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug. H.-People
who have arrived here from Valparaiso
confirm the alarming reports OF
the extent of the catastrophe, but
they declare that the local authorities
have taken the most energetic measures
to maintain order and prevent pill
laging.
All persons caught committing rob-
berries are shot on the spot.
People arriving here estimate that
eighty-two per cent of the buildings in
the Terremote district have been de-
stroyed by fire.
All reports agree in saying that the
Almendral suffered the most severely.
According to some of the reports VAL
paraso may be said to have been total
ly destroyed, 1t being asserted that
nearly all the houses which remained
standing have been so shaken that
they must be pulled down.
One of the travellers who arrived
here today says that more than 300
persons were killed in that part of Val
paraiso known as the Port and that 500
persons were injured.
The majority of the Inhabitants of
Valparaiso are encamped on the hills
surrounding that city, the parks and
in the main thoroughfares. Many have
sought refuge on board the vessels at
anchor in the bay. Martial law con-
tinues there.
An ambulance train left here today
for Valparaiso with large supply of
medicines, etc, and a detachment of
medical students who have volunteered
to assist the earthquake sufferers. The
train also took a quantity of provisions.
Supplies of food and medicines have
been sent to other towns which have
suffered from the earthquake.
Preparations are being made to re-
sumo trading on the Santiago stock ex-
change, interrupted since the earth
quake, and the principal financial
houses are taking steps to guard
against panic.
In the midst of so much distress a
laughable incident occurred. A de-
tachment of carbineers, while on It's
way to Valparaiso. made halt for re-
freshments. While the cavalrymen
were dismounted their horses bolted
towards Valparaiso and the carbineers
were compelled to make their way to
that city on foot or in any vehicles
which they were able to requisition at
short notice.
AS the correspondent closes this dis
patch further slight earthquake shock
made the building in which he was
writing tremble to its foundations.

SPOKANE NOW HAS A BABY MYSTERY

SPOKANE, May 1e.-Wrapped in
a light cotton blanket and clad in

the cold after lying on the steps all

from the cruel exposure to which 1t
was subjected by someone who
should have protected and cared for
it.

The soldiers of Fort Wright to at
tend the eastern encampment and not

commandant at Fort Wright, received
a letter this morning from Vancouver.
asking for information relative to the
best place for the holding of Fl days
encampment for the troops stationed
at Fort Wright, Walla Walla and
Boise. The letter states that the idea
is to secure some place in Eastern
Washington for such encampment and
further asks what would be the most
convenient time for encampment.
It is understood here that this east
ern encampment means the soldiers Of
Fort Wright would not go to the en-
campment at American lake. but
would spend that time at some place
to be selected for the encampment for
the troops from the three above named
forts.
1t is thought the dates to be selected
will be during the latter part Of Sep
TENDER, running into the month of
October. This would be an advanta-
geous time for the encampment.
From what can be gathered from the
opinion of the officers at Fort Wright,
it looks as though Occur d'Alene lake
or some point between Spokane and
Walla Walla would be selected. There
are several convenient places in view
and the report will soon be made by
the commander here.
