The state civil service commission
has issued notice of a general Compel
tive examination to be held on Sep.
TENDER % for the following positions:
Stenographers and typewriters; en-.
gineers of stationary steam boilers;
tiremen of steam boilers; prison and

formatory; supervisors of dairy tests;
oil inspector at Prairie du Chen; ma
chinists at the university; attendants

feeble minded; assistant auditor at the
university; actuary in the insurance
department. The secretary of the
commission states that eligible lists
prepared early in the year for the
positions OF engineers, firemen, prison
guards and attendants have become
nearly exhausted. An insufficient
number applied for the position of
machinist; there are at present only
two names on the eligible list. There
have been frequent calls for good
stenographers and typewriters, and
the present list will be exhausted
within the next few months. The last
legislature enacted law providing
that legislative stenographers, and
clerks with typewriting ability shall
be chosen by the civil service COM

Some twenty-five positions in the leg
islature must be filled as a result of
this forthcoming examination. The
secretary Of the commission states
that the demand for good stenograph-
ers seems to exceed the supply The
commission has found difficulty in pro-
curing a sufficient number of satisfac-
tory applicants for positions as laun-
dresses, seamstresses, and cooks in

UPRISING IN CUBA.

The government has discovered that
the movements of Pine Guerre and
other important revolutionary COM
manders are directed by a commit
tee of revolutionary veterans in
Havana. This practice will be broken
up and several arrests are expected
Santa Clara is becoming thorough
insurrectionist stronghold and even
larger towns have taken up arms
against the government.
The presence of small parties of
insurrectionists are reported daily in
the four western provinces, principal
Iy in Havana and Santa Clara.
A band of 100 insurrectionists en-
tered Las Lajas, Santa Clara prov
ince, and got away with the contents
of the local treasury, $4,000, and all
the horses in town.
There are grave differences between
President Palma and Vice President
Mendez Capote. The latter is sus-
pected of having considered with
Senator Alfredo Zayas, president of
the Liberal party, the question of
whether peace could not be restored
by Palma's withdrawal from the presi-
dency, by permitting Mendez Capote
to succeed him.
The growth of the insurrection GER
tainly seems to keep pace with the
preparations for suffocating it.
Ex-Gov Perez, a liberal, visited
Guerra and found him well informed
as to what was going on. Guerra has
1000 well armed men.
While the government is optimistic
regarding the revolution in western
Cuba, believing the promptness in ar
resting suspected leaders and follow
ers has put a damper on the rebel
movement, peaceable inhabitants of
the city of Pinar del Rio, Consolation
del Sur, San Juan del Martinez and
other western towns are in hourly ap-
prehension of an attack and Ioccupa-
ton of those places. The situation is
regarded as perilous.
Heavy fighting occurred in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio between the
forces commanded by the rebel gen
eraI, Pine Guerra, and the govern
ment troops commanded by Colonel
Estrampes. The government claims
that Guerra was defeated, but the
revolutionists declare that Estrampes
is in full retreat.
Reports from the country districts
say the people generally have been
influenced by the liberal leaders and
are inclined to be distrustful of the
motives of President Palma's govern
ment Therefore, they readily SYM
pathize with the cause of the insur-
gents.
Insurgents advanced almost to the
environs of Havana and gave battle
to the rural guards at San Antonio
de los Banos, in Havana province,
only 21 miles southwest of the heart
of that city.
1t was decided to raise and equip
force of 10000 men to fight the reb-
els The men will be paid two dollars
a day in order to encourage enlist
ments.
In Pinar del Rio province 1000 in
surgents are under arms.
Gov Nunez severely reprimanded
several alcades of the province of Ha-
vana, for deserving their towns and
coming to the city.
