Advices Received Here.

All advices received by the State De-
partment today point to the early abdica-
tion of President Simon. The rebels have
captured La Coupe, situated high in the
mountains, overlooking Port au Prince
and only five miles distant from the CAPT.
tai. The rumor that AUX Cages, the
home town of President Simon, is in the
hands Of the revolutionists is now con-
firmed.
There is considerable foreign capital in.
vested in Haiti, the principal interests be-
ing those Of the United States and Ger
many. Great Britain and France also
have material interests which are af-
fected by the existing political crisis.
Full protection to these interests is as
sured by the presence of five American
warships and the expected arrival within
the next few days of the British cruiser
MelpoIhene from Kingston. the German
cruiser Bremen from Norfolk and the
French cruiser DEstrees from Cane
Breton.
A year ago the Haitian government
contracted with an American syndicate
to build a railroad from the interior TO
four of the seaports. The syndicate was
granted a strip of land twelve miles wide
on each side OF the line. amounting TO
1880 acres for each mile of road This
was considered a liberal grant, and is
one of the principal interests that the
United States Navy will undertake 70
protect during the existing crisis.

JACKSON, Miss, August 2.-Returns
received here up to noon today, in the
Mississippi primary election Of yester-
day in the race for United States sena-
tor, give former Gov. James X. Varda-
man a lead over both of his competitors.
Complete returns have been received
from 800 voting places. and the vote cast
was 47136, divided as follows: Varda-
man, 24,5sS; Percy. 1851; Alexander,
11.S77.
This gives Vardaman a lead of 2,O40
votes over both c. H. Alexander and
Senator Leroy Percy.
If this ratio is maintained Vardaman
should have a majority of all votes cast,
making a second primary unnecessary
and assuring the former governor a seat
in the United States Senate.

DO NOT REGARD UPRISING

Acevedo and His Party Thought to
Have Disbanded or Taken
to Woods.

HAVANA, August 2.-The government
had no trace this morning of Gen. Ace
vedo and his party, who, after starting an
uprising at Regla Monday night set out,
suppo sedly, for Pinar del Rio. 1t is be-
lieved that the men are hiding in the
woods or have disbanded
Reports from every township in the is
land fail to show the least suggestion OF
disorder, and all indications are that the
movement is Insignificant. Large forces
of rurales and regulars are securing Ha-
vana province. with the expectation that
the rebels will be captured soon.
Senior Rivero, the Cuban minister here
does not regard the Acevedo uprising as
of any mportance. He says Gen. Acevedo
was recently pardoned by President Co
mez for previous attack on the govern
ment. and has only q few men behind
him in the present movement.
1T is my belief says Minister Rivero
that this uprising is backed by outsiders
who wish for American intervention in
the affairs Of Cuba. Acevedo is in no DO
sition to cause serious uprising, and the
government has not the slightest fear of
him.

Sought Three-Day Truce.

The committee of foreign diplomats
who visited the revolutionary camps
yesterday for the purpose Of arranging
d truce have returned.
When the ministers decided that
President Simon's cause was hopeless,
and that if he continued to defy the
enemy the occupation of the capital
was almost certain to be followed by
lawlessness and pillage, in which for
eign interests might suffer, they urged
Simon to resign. This he said he would
do if a truce of three days. in which
the security of the city could be ar
ranged, was agreed upon.
The diplomats undertook to negotiate
this trice. While American Minister
Furniss remained here to help control
the disorderly element, the French and
British ministers went to Petionville

Buried Nearly 73 Hours.

Three workmen were digging In the
narrow shaft, when the bottom gave way
and they dropped into the drift. Clary
saw the ligh. of day and looked up on
fellow beings after a period in darkness
which, though reckoned by him TO be
something over four days. was really ex-
actly three days and forty-five minutes.
Clary though evidently in fair condi-
tor. was greatly weakened. The emo
ton he showed at the sight of his res
cuers and the deathlike pallor OF his face
brought tears to the eyes of tEe hardened
Worn-Out miners.

Hurried to His Home.

At a signal from the rescuers a physi-
clan was lowered. He administered
stimulants. Clary was hoisted to the sur
face and set foot on top of earth ten
minutes after he was found Curious spec
tators were kept from him. His father,
brothers and the physician hurried him
away to the Clary home nearby. where
his mother weakened by the strain Of her
long vigil lay i'll.
Clary is twenty-three years DID, the son
of Thomas Clary, pioneer mine oper-
ator who has directed the rescue work
constantly since his sons Imprisonment.
Relays Of men and boys began digging
the shaft Sunday, and have worked night
and day since. The first three attempts
to drill small hole to admit air and
nourishment failed, but the fourth was
successful yesterday. 1t was found that
Clary was in imminent danger of drown
ing from water rising In the drift. Dig
gers in the shaft redoubled their energy
with the result that the drift was reached
hours earlier than expected.

Phones His Story UP the Shaft.

Communication was obtained with the
imprisoned man last night by means OF
a telephone AS he told of his long vigil
in absolute darkness, he interrupted the
conversation now and then to receive
supplies of food lowered through the
five-inch shaft, which. after three holes
were bored in vain, finally reached the
drift where he was held a prisoner.
The suspense he suffered is indicated
in part of his story as told over the
telephone. He said: Il tried to count
the strokes of the drill and was able TO
gauge time little by the pounding of
the bit. Hours passed until I heard the
drill cutting into the hard ground. but l
could not locate the sound in the dark
ness.
Soon the drilling stopped. l knew
they had missed the drift. AS time
