General Battle is Ex-
 pected. HAVANA LOYAL TO PALMA Business in Capital of Antilles
 Pearl at Standstfl. Colonel BacaIiao Leaves With Artillery to do Battle With Body of In-
 surgents on Which Re-
 publie's Fate Rests.

Havana, Aug. 25.-So far as actual developments go, the situation today is unchanged The eastern provinces are perfectly quiet and no encounters of any consequence have yet taken place in the province of Santa Clara.
 The insurectnoiary movement there is not growing. The loyalty of the people of Matanzas appears almost as well established as that of the inhab- itants of Puerto Principe, which so far has been the model province for peace fitness. There has been some sixirm- ishing in the vicinity of Havana and large bands of insurgents are still roaming about the southern part of Havana province. but there have been no disturbances in western Havana since the death of General Bandera-
 Governor Nunez of Havana province, informed the Associated Press today that this province win be free from insurgent bands within a fortnight. The center of interest continues to be in Pinar del Rio. in which province only is there a large and we'll organ ized movement against the Govern ment Considerable criticism has been aroused by the policy of the Govern ment in dividing its forces in Pinar del Rio. but the die In this regard is cast for Colonel Bacailao with a force of artillerymen and recruits. sallied out of San Juan de Martinez today in the expectation of encountering the fnsurg- ent forces commanded by Pfno Guerra.
 The fate of the revolution appears to rest largely on the result of the coming engagement between these two forces. The people of Cuba will bs relieved to hear some news of de- cislve nature either way, from Pinar del Rio. The sympathy Of the people of Havana Is with the government, but there is no general. overwhelming anxiety to see it's forces prevail.
 Meanwhile business enterprises are at standstill
 If these disorders continue for two or three months. Spanish business as well as American, British, German and Canadian. would welcome nn interyen- tion. The subject however, is SD deaF icate that 1t Is not much discusss ezs cept in private.
 Up to 80 this afternoon no news had been received of fighting between Colonel Bacacllao and Pima Guerras forces.

Havana. Aug. 25.--The Stars and Stripes are flying conspicuously from points of vantage on American owned property throughout the disturbed dis trict.
 scrupulously respected by both the government forces and the rowing bands of insurreetlonists, the emblem of the United States is perhaps exert ing a moral influence over sober mind ed Cubans. Senator Norma Campos Marqueti. Liberal, who has espoused the cause of the insurgents. has pub licly advocated the appointment by President Roosevelt of a commission to investigate the charges of fraud in connection with the last elections. Other prominent men endorse the idea.
 Today's early advices from Pinar del Rio and vicinity indicate that the outcome of the expected battle between the government troops and the fnsur- gents under Pino Guerra is more in doubt than the officials at the palace are willing to admit

 FOR RESPECT FROM ALL BANDS

Guerra is believed to have nearly or quite 2,o00 men who can be depended upon. They are reported to be well equipped with arms and ammunition.
 It is suspected that the insurgent leaders withdrawal from San Luis and San Juan was ruse to attract the government troops from their base at Pinar del Rio. A sudden descent on Pinar del Rio in the event that Pal mas troops do not take an carly offen- sive would not surprise those seem ingly we'll informed. The city has less than 1000 armed defenders and the strength of civilian loyalty is in doubt.
 So far there has been no serious dis affection in tho cities, but in the sur rounding districts where people gre less in touch with official life. the sit- uation so far as can be learned Is not reassuring.

sEMr-oFFrCIAL STATEMENT.
Suspected Soldiers VIII Not Be Allowed
 to Leave Texas.

Washington. Aug. 25.-Representa- tions have been made to the War De- pertinent by telegram and otherwise. that it vsls feared by the authorities of Texas that there was an intention to remove the negro soldiers charged with murder and riot at Brownsville from the Jurisdiction of that State.
 To a semi official representation of this kind. the following reply was made by the officials of the department to- day:
 The War Department has no inten- ton of removing from the Jurisdiction of the State of Texas any enlisted men who have been accused or suspected of complicity in the recent outbreaks at Brownsville Nor has the department any intention of withholding any of these men from delivery to the State authorities at the proper time. The War Department will not cease It's ef- forts to discover the guilty parties. and is equally as solicitious and deter mined to bring these parties to justice as are the authorities of the State of Texas"

SUGGESTIONS TOR PEACE.
May Ask Roosevelt To Appoint An Ar,.f.
 tration COmmffte~

Havana, Aug. 25--Among the s,,r- Gestions made with the view to bring ing about peaceful settlement of the iEsurrection is that of conceding to Inc Liberals the annulment of the December elections and holding new ones In which both political parties. the Moderatea and Liberals. shall participate fairly and freely.
 Another is that a commission be ap- pointed by President Roosevelt to in- vestigate the matters in dispute and ie iS also proposed that a commission composed of government supporters and insurgents, of which the American Min- ister shall be Chairman, be appointed to decide upon basis of settlement
 None of the plans appear practicable. The government is wholly unlikely to begin negotiations of any sort at this stage. but 1t Is suggested that promi- nent men from each province be sum- moned to Havana to consult jointly with the President Even this is un- likely. It Is so necessary to take active measures to suppress the instruction that 1t is impracticable to spend time in discussion.

for Governor to the New Exchange. where he had supper before the hour set for the speaking.
 Preceding the address of the Lieu | tenant Governor and after brass band concert Hon. Erie Pettus of Limestone County was called on for a speech. and for twenty minutes the | brilliant young lawyer from the north ern part of the State poured forth . stream of eloquence which held his audience spelibound. It was an ad- dress of solid shot and grape, and IL was all aimed att B. B. Conner. HIS record as Railroad Commissioner was shown up. His stand in regard to the legality of the law which creaI. ed the Commission was set forth in brilliant colors. His record in the matter of child labor was laid bare to the people. And the promises made 1 and unfulhlled by the President of the Railroad Commission were called to mind one by one.
 l Pettus Arraigns Conner. "Comer was placed in the office of President of the Railroad CommIs- sion," he said, "one of che highest po- sitlons in the State And now, when he has had 1t two years. he seeks to run away from his post of duty to seek higher office with a larger sal ary.
 MT. Conner complains of his asso- ciates. He says they prevent him from doing what he wishes to do. Conner knew two years ago what he was go- ing to do and what he was not going to do If Conner stays where he Is, I say to you tonight. the people of Ala l bama will give him two associate on Monday of whom he will have no req son to complain,
 MT. Conner complains of the law. | Was he not as good a lawyer two years ago a she is now? Two years ago he made his speeches and made hls prom ises of what he would accomplish if the people would put him in the Rail road Commission. And yet. with two years gone by. he has been too busy preparing for his campaign for Govern or to do any of the things he prom ised
 MT Conner complains about the un- constltutionality of the law which ere ated the Railroad Commission. We never heard about the unconstitution- ality of the law until he got into the ruee for Governor. It seems to me that when Mir. Conner wanted an opinion or the constitutionality of the law. hC would have gone to the Attorney Gen eral. the man elected by the people tc pass upon such matters. for an opinion instead of calling in q man from out side to furnish him an opinion fin the lmatter And 1t seems to me further

by electrocution about II o'clock yester-
day morning, in front of S0S West Elev-
