REBELS SHOOT
RuraIes Were Close on the Heels of the Bandits When Lalter
 Opened Fire on PursBers
GOV MAGOON IS STERN

Havana, Sept 30.-The smal band of rebels which has been tra versing the country about Mayari, ir Santiago province, has, according ta late dispatches, again exchanged shots with the pursuing rurales. The latter are close on the heels of the bandits. :S.,as.. While there are signs of unrest ir various parts of the island, the opin ion prevails here that no serious dis turbance is likely. In commenting on the situation the Diarid De La Marina says: t %s.=,
 "A combination of unpleasant cir. cumstances having no link one with the other appears to make the situa' tion at first sight more serious tha, it really is. Each one of the prob lens that at present confront the ad ministration-the yellow fever epi. demic, the conspiracy of Para Miret and Ducassi, the existence of bands of outlaws in the country and the railway strike--is of an alarm ing character, but except for the ten dency of the strike to become general and stop railway communication throughout the island, these events are of no great importance in them selves. .sT's.s'<
 ''The yellow fever has not spread and there appears no danger of q general epidemic, as cases are com paratively few up to the present time. The conspiracy was ridicu- lous one, and even if it had succeed ed in inducing some fools to take th= field it would have been nipped iii the bud. The Mayari band of out laws cannot be considered of moro importance than many other previ- ous bands of guerillas which have oc- casionally appeared in Cuba.
 There is no reason, therefore, for extraordinary alarm, or for believing Cuba is on the brink of an abyss.
 Even the strikers have not as yet committed any act of violence. If their disagreement with the rail. road companies is not settled other iliSH VIII DS lOullu SllOItly lO run lIl6 trains. In this case any attempts on the part of the strikers to resort to force will be punished according to law. The situation, for all these req sons, is not so grave and the govern ment has ample means to cope with it." ..- --~
 Cienfuegos may soon become 4 trouble zone The walters there aro on strike, and others plan to strik,, soon. It is reported also that polt!, cal trouble is coming in that vicir ity, where conspirators have been active. -" ....
 Most persons think that the rail- road and other strikes offer moro prospects of serious trouble than tho threatened revolution. The lighter men of Havana harbor will probably strike to-day, and the stevedores in a few days.
 Governor Magoon has determined to deal with outlaws and insurrec. tions with strong hand. The or. ders of the rurales, it is said, are to capture, kill, or drive them into the ocean.

The Great Assouan Dam.

Sir William Garston has recommend ed that the great dam at Assouan. Egypt. be raised nearly twenty-three feet, which would more than double the present water supply. The dam now supplies about quarter of the water which eventually will be needed in Egypt. With the proposed enlarge ment about 95o,OC0 acres of land would be brought under cultivation. The change would cost about ST.500.OO0. Since the establishment of the Assou. an reservoir the sale value of lands already provided with perennial irri- gation has increased by about S122.- 100000. and this figure. when canals now under construction are completed. will be increased to approximately S140.OC0.000. In addition to this the cotton crop. which last year amounteS to Sl40.O00.Ooo. has beeu assured.
