REBE[L|ONCRUSHED
CUBAN OFFICIALS SAY euRREN.
DER is OFFERED.
ONE OF LEADERS SLAIN
Government Statement Asserts the
Revoiutionists Are Willing to
Give Up II Their Lives
Are Saved.

Havana.-The revolution which be
gan in Santa Clara province Monda!
bids fair to be stamped out by tn
government at once. While ofiicia
reports say the rebellion is incipien
/ others take it more seriously.
After withholding news of the trou
BILE, the palace officials have an
nounced that the father Of two of the
members OF the band headed by Sergt
Cortes of. the rural guard had visited
Gen. Monteagudo, chief Of the guart
| at Camaiuani, and told him that the
! insurgents implored the clemency o.
the government and were anxious tc
surrender on the promise that their
lives would be spared.
Gen. Monteagudo, accompanied by a
strong escort, thereupon started fol
the insurgent camp. The general ex
pected to receive their surrender
Thursday.
The insurgents are now completely
surrounded by Gordon of more than
one thousand rurales, drawn from the
garrisons in various parts Of the
island, including Havana, but owing
to the rugged character of the country
/ 1t will be extremely difficult for the
troops to come to close quarters with
the rebels.
While the government still insists
that the band consists of only eight
men, 1t is alleged that the movement
is far-reaching and includes quite a
large number of those who have be-
come discontinued with the way af-
fairs have been conducted.
Lavastida. a former captain of the
rurale guards, was shot and killed by
the detachment of the guard sent out
to arrest him. It is alleged that he
resisted. Lavastida was reported Of
ficially as having been arrested at
Placetas on the charge of completely
in the insurlectionary movement. 1t
is rumored that the uprising is more
serious than the authorities are will
ing to admit.
Secretary of Government Alberdi
and Gen. Machado went to the palace
at nine o'clock yesterday to confer
with President Gomez. Later a cabi-
net meeting was called, and 1t was in
timated that an offiial statement
would be given out soon. President
Gomez is in receipt of many kilograms
from officials, veteran organizations
and private citizens pledging loyalty
and active support in the maintenance
Of the republic.
Reports received here from various
parts of the island show an extraor-
binary concentration of the rurale
guards in the directions of Vueltas,
Camaguey and Placetas, apparently
far in excess of the requirements to
pursue and capture the eight men who
started the movement and who are
still at large.
1t is declared that Gen. Pine Guerra,
commander Of the permanent army,
left Havana Wednesday for the scene.

WHAT 4 FORMER OREeol
FARMER THINKS Of WEST.
ERu CANADA.

Albert Nelson left Benton Co, orr
gon. in Sept. 1904. for the great
Canadian prairies. To quote from his
letter: II was greatly surprised to
find such an immense stretch Of rich
virgin prairie still almost unoccupied
In the very heart Of North America.
The splendid crops Of oats. wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay beheld In the
settlements made me very eager for q
piece Of this rich soil, and soon To-
Gated in the Goose Lake country. We
have here a great stretch, OF the rich,
deep clay loan Of the Saskatchewan
a soil heavy and hard to break, but
particularly well adapted for the re-
tention Of moisture and production Of
the bright No. / hard wheat, and
great crops Of oats, barley. flax and po-
tatoes. had 60 bushels OF oats,
weighing AL ID. to the bushel, per
acre. Some Of my neighbors had still
greater yields Wheat yielded from 20
to 30 bushels per acre. We have all
done well here, and / could name
many Americans who came here with
means to 60 ahead. who have done
big already. For homesteads one has
to go further west, but the best prai-
RE can be bought here for from 1890
to $1,000 per acre. The climate is
dry and healthy. This Is the regular
Saskatchewan fall weather - frosty
nights, and bright, sunny days ideal
for threshing and hauling out OF
wheat. The trails are dusty, as thou.
sands of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators. !
The sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what It will be In q few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally falls
in December and goes on in March.
It sometimes gets very cold. but the
Saskatchewan farmer does not fear
the cold. Winter is his season Of
rest. The first or second crop he
builds a comfortable house for him
self, and warm stables for his horses.
He need not, like some, be poking
about in the mud all winter attending
a few beasts for a livelihood"
