 Encounters between regulars anu rebels are reported to have taken place near Daiquiri and at other places without decisive results. The general forward movement of the Cuban troops apparently is still deferred, pending completion of the disposition of the troops ordered by General Monteagudo.
 Reports from the scene of hostilities say that the rebel leaders continue to exact contributions of arms and money from property owners who are mostly foreigners, under threat of applying the torch The government Is making strong efforts to supply plantation guards but seemingly lacks sufficient men without depicting the ranks of the troops In active service.
 General Monteagudo, in statement to the government says he has had no losses up. to thel present, which Is due to the tactics Of thetrebeIs who decline combat firing a few 1ong range shots on the approach of the troops and then rapidly retiring to the hills. General Monteagudo says that within a short time he expects to deliver crushing blow and adds that he does not need further endorsements.

that he now has nearly 100 members
pledged to support him and it viii re-
quiNe several less than 100 votes to

MILLIONS IN COLD
IN A SUNKEN SHIP
Divers Have Tried for Fifty
: Years to Recover Bullion
From Wrecked Frigate.

LONDON, Sept 20-One million pounds
in bullion, which has lain buried for more
than century in the watery safe deposit
of the Zuyder Zee, may be recovered from
the deep within the next few days Fine
weather alone is stated TO be the factor
upon which this record salvage is de-
pendent.
The British frigate Lutine sank al the
entrance OF the Zuyder Zee in October,
1893. She had on board $6.0S5, 900 in bull
lion and money. The Dutch government
claimed the wreck, and granted one third
of the salvage in 1901 to bullion fishers.
After much discussion and occasional
recoveries, the king of the Netherlands
ceded half the wreck to Great Britain.
About 80. 1913 pounds was recovered at va
rious times
Diver Feels Bullion.
For two summers Captain Gardiner, OF
the National Salvage association. at the
head of band of gold seekers, has
fought upon the salvage ship Lyons the
fierce currents that run between the is
lands of Vieland and Terschelling. One
diver who recently came up from the
wreck declared he had found the gold
He said that on the decks of the frigate
lie masses of cannon ball and shot but
along her ribs are holes and rents show
ing the broken, jagged ends of planks
and timber. 1t was by investigating in
one of these crevices that he found the
bullion. He had crawled on hands anG
knees along to the opening and tried
to get inside bodily, but the ragged rents
threatened his life lines and air tubes
While stretching as far as he colud
around the corners of gaping timber, his
hand touched something bard and square
He had handled bars of bullion before
and knew the feel" of them.
There was. however, no moving the
precious metal, so after a vain attempt
the diver signaled to the men above who
sent down a line, and with this he fas-
tened buoy to the hold in the side OF
the Lutine
The fall of the decks has imprisoned
the treasure in the strongest chest inn
