Thinks Cuba Is Competent.

Havana, August 22.-General Rodriguez.
commander of the rural guard, tonight
after relating the incidents of the day,
said to the Associated Press:
you can tell the American people that
Cuba Is entirely competent to deal with
che insurrection. The rumors in all dlrec-
tons about the organization Of insurrec-
tionary bands I'm great numbers are not
borne out by our reports, or as far as
can be learned by the facts. The result or
the encounter at San Luis Is still not
known definitely but IT is known we In
ficted some losses on the enemy In that
vicinity. The much-talked-of movement in
Santa Clara province has not been en-
eountered and no insurrectionists have
been seen there by our forces.
1--WE have today equipped and sent out
in various directions 300 volunteers under
competent officers. We have plenty or
Reningtons and ammunition for all who
enlist, and more have been ordered from
the United States, besides we have thou
sands of old but serviceable guns We
believe the loyal people are taking up
arms for the government faster than the
insurgents are Increasing"
InsurrectlonIsts Increase.
While the foregoing is typical of the ut
terances of the government officials, there
Is evidence of threatening increases In
the numbers of the insurrectionists. In
fection Is widespread and In the province
Of Havana a great many people are In
sympathy with the insurgents
In some cases whole communities appear
to have been carried away by the re-
crudescence of insurrectionary times.
The extent to which this will lead to
open rebellion is still uncertain.
Attack on San Louis.
The principal event today was the fight
ing at San Luis. The reports of the COM
manders of the rural guard are to the
following effect:
Bands of Guerra, Poso and others. ag
gregating about 400 men, concentrated this
morning in the vicinity Of San Luis Sew
enty rural guards under command of Ma
jor Laurent were to attack the insur-
gents from the east and thirty men under
Lieutenant Azcuy were to attack from
the west.
Azcuy arrived first and got into an lily
timed engagement with far superior
detachment with the result that he was
forced to retreat hastily to San Luis. pur-
sued by a portion of the enemy. The
rural guards took refuge In their quarters
and Guerrars men remained In posses
sion of the town. This afternoon Major
Laurent had a hot fight with the insur
gents under Guerra and other insurgent
commanders, and reports that several
we're killed or wounded. He pursued
Guerra. but so far as is known did not
retake the town.
According to other fragmentary reports

Cuban Revolution is Beginning
TO Give Government More
Trouble Than Expected
ATTEMPT MADE ON LIFE
OF HAVANGS GOVERNOR
Discomfort Has Sprung Up All over
the Island-Isle of Pines Joins
Forces With the In
surrectionists.

Havana, August 22.-The insurgents in
the province of Pinar del Rio captured
their first city there today At nine
o'clock this morning the force led by
Pine Guerra, an ex-congressman and an
influential man. and who was thought to
be many miles eastward, and sundry 9TH
er insurgent bands, attacked San Luis.
which is situated on the railroad about
ten miles west of Pinar del Rio city.
A sharp and decisive engagement fol-
lowed, during which number of men
were killed or wounded. The town was
defended by less than 100 rural guards,
fifty of whom surrendered to the lnsur-
gents and are held as prisoners. The in
surgent forces are In possession Of the
railroad station and of the town, which
is resuming its normal condition BY the
capture of San Luis, which has about
5000 inhabitants. tie insurgents have OBJ
tanned an important base for future oper-
atoms.
Try to Minimize Matter.
At the palace here there was DISPOSE
ton late this afternoon to minimize the
Importance of the insurgents sunccess at
San Luis, the statement being made that
while the insurgents were in possession
of the town, the rural guards, in their
quarters, We're still holding out.
The agent OF the Western railway at
San Luis station. which is a mile and one
third from the town, reports that the
town has been taken by insurgents who
have surrounded the station The agent
did not know the number killed or wound
ed. but believed II was small The fight
ing was quickly over.
The garrison Of San Luis Is known to
number less than 50. The population or
the town Is 5000.
Recruits Start Westward.
One hundred recruits started westward
this afternoon on a special train, but 1t Is
not likely that they will be permitted to
reach San Luis. An attempt Is being
made with 200 mounted rural guards and
regulars to corner Quentin Bandera, who,
with 150 men, Is continuing his lodging
tactics in the western part of the prov
ince of Havana.
Three large bands of insurgents are out
in the province of Santa Clara. The In
surrection appears to be growing, but tho
loyalists of the towns claim THAI they
will be able to resist the movement.

Busy Bees.

Colorado produced more honey this
year than any other state in the Union,
forty-one car loads. At wholesale the
Colorado crop will bring about $50, 900
and the beeswax 50, 900 additional. The
Eastern Slope produced twenty cars
Of this honey, the Western Slope
eighteen, divided as follows: South
western Colorado, one car; Montezuma
county, one; Montrose county five;
Mesa and Garfield counties six.
By the above it will be seen that
Delta county is one of the top notchers
in the production of honey. George
Conklin says each car load is worth
about 5000 and that means the tireless
little workers have added to our home
wealth total of $4,000.

served in that an appreciative gift has

in a new section for an entire year.
Suppose 100 Delta people would send an
equal number, Of INDEPENDENTS to

better Christmas gift can you send back

Railroad Reaches Marble.

On November23 the railroad, building
to Marble, in Gunnison county, entered
that town. The citizens held a celebra
tion, hoisted flags, fired salutes and
everybody was jubilant. 1t is at this
place the immense deposit of white
marble is located referred to in the ad-
dress of Charles Austin Bates pub
lished in the INDEPENDENT recently.
We never heard Of marble or the new
railroad until we read Mr.. Bates ad-
dress. So many things are doing in
Colorado that it is hard to keep track
of all of them. The promotion of this
industry and many others thruout the
state makes market for our products.
All such things help. Bates is right.
Colorado is destined to be one of the
greatest states.

E. Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and

pounds, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, and so has published broad

entering inss-the composition OF his widely
celebrated hedicj1es. Thus he has taken
his numereGs patrons and patients into

moved his sMedicines from among secret

Oak and Mistietoa,

A7reviewer insthe Outlook rebukes
an American writer for Wondering
whether there is any natural con-
neetion0 between the oak and the
inistletoe, seeing how constantly
they are associated. sIn Great
Britain" says the reviewer. stthe
oak is one of the trees on which the
mistletoe notoriously does not
grow" And it is true that the Eng
lish child learns in an early lesson
of the honor in which the Dr,lids
held a mistletoe that by rare chance
did grow on an oak But the re-
viewed book. being American, is
amply justified. The hills that sur
round the Lick observatory in Cain
fornia and that bear its domes on
their highest summit are entirely
covered with oaks, and it is not too
much to say that every oak carries
bunch or punches of mistletoe.

Study of the Mild.

There is no more healthful and
instructive recreation for the intel
igent boy (or man, either, for that
matter) than that which is easily
obtainable by studying the ways Of
the wild things that inhabit the
swamps, woods and forests in the
vicinity Of the town in which he
lives. 1t is good for brain, nerves,
eyes and muscles. It is good for
the disposition, too, for the more
you know CT any living creatures
Except beasts of prey, rattlesnakes
and such) the less inclined to do
them an injury. Ignorance is the
parent of cruelty. One need not
seek the great forests of the north
and west to study wild things and
their ways. The habits of many IN
teresting birds and smaller wild ami
mails may be studied at the expense
of a not very lorg walk by the
dwellers in most country towns ali
over t;e United States and Canada.
