SHOWS NO DIMINUTION RUSSIA’S DAILY CHRONICLE OF MURDER AND ROBBERY CON- TINUES UNABATED. POLICE SEEM UTTERLY POWERLESS PERPETRATORS OF THE CRIMES GO UNCAPTURED IN MA. JORITY OF CASES. St. Petersburg, Aug. 23.—In spite of the wholesale arrests and deportation of revolutionists the big ceunters’ daily chronicle of murder and robbery is not appreclably diminishing. The police seem utterly powerless to cap- ture the perpetrators of the crimes. They do not make an arrest in one case out of twenty-five. While the revolutionary opposition to the gov- ernment has thus degenerated into a campalgn of crime the three political parties, the Constitutional Democrats, Octoberists and Regenerationists, are drifting. The efforts to effect an amal- gamation have failed and all the lead- ers seem greatly at sea as to what tactics to pursue. It is announced that some ameliora- tion of the condition of the Jews will be made without awaiting the action of parliament. A commission is sit- ting at the ministry of the interior elaborating a general project of law, ‘whose provisions, however, will only include an extension of the limits of the pale of residence and an exten- sion of the rights of higher education.

Republican Senatorial Contest in the State Convention. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 23.—With every tndication of the most exciting Repub- Mcan convention ever held in the state of Nebraska the supporters of Norris Brown, the state’s attorney general, who is a candidate for the convention nomination for United States senator. declared that he would have more than 500 votes on the first ballot or more than enough to nominate. This prediction was denied with emphasis by the supporters of Bdward Rose water of Omaha, who declared- that Brown would fall far short of the re- quired number on the first ballot and that from that time Rosewater would gain until he had been made the nom. inee. George L. Sheldon of Nepawka, the young farmer candidate for governor, has led in the number of pledged votes from the first and his friends predict an easy victory for him. All of the other candidates for governor attempted to form a combination against Sheldon, but failed to agree upon a car-didate Train’s Remains on Board. Victoria, B.

REBELS GAPTURE TOWN CUBAN INSURGENTS NOW HAVE | | | i TURE OPERATIONS. Jo iIEVEMI. BANDS JOIN IN ATTACK SMALL FORCE DEFENDING CITY ! SURRENDERS AFTER BRIEF ENGAGEMENT. Havana, Aug. 23.—The insurgents in the province of Pinar del Rlo have captured their first city. At 9 a. m. the force led by Pino Guerra, an ex- congressman and an influential man and who was thought to be many miles eastward, and sundry other insurgent bands attacked San Luis, which is sit- [uated on the railroad about ten miles Iwest of Pinar del Rio city. A sharp and decisive engagement followed, during which a number of men were killed or wounded. The town was de- fended by less than 100 rural guards, fifty of whom surrendered to the in- [surgents and are held as prisoners. The insurgent forces are in posses- slon of the railroad station and of the town, which is resuming its normal condition. ; By the capture of San Luis, which 'has about 10,000 inhabitants, the in- isurgents have obtained an important lbase for future operationse Luis Perez, the last Liberal gov- ernor of the province of Pinar del Rio, has joined the insurgent forces ‘in that province. A new party of fifty insurgents has appeared at Santa Cruz del Norte, 'Havana province. American dealers have been com- missioned to buy hundreds of horses for the use of the rural guards now being recruited. GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGED, !Rapid Enlistments in Cuban Army Evidence of Loyalty. Havana, Aug. 23.—While the gov- ernment is surprised at the uprisings In Central Cuba, the disaffection of {prominent persons in Havana prov- lince and the unreliability of some of its ostensible friends it is neverthe- less encouraged by the evidences of loyalty, in the rapid enlistments and lalso by the fact that the insurgents in Pinar del Rio are not gaining any concessions and are not yet bold enough to attack any populous neigh- borhood. The passing of the last two nights without an attack on the city of Pinar del Rio has somewhat increased the feeling of confidence in govern- ment circles. The insurgent force commanded by Pino Guerra is only eight miles east of the city of Pinar del Rio, however, and other smaller bands apparently are waiting to join Guerra in an attack on the provincial capital. The enlistments of recruits for the rural guards in Havana are proceed- ing rapidly. The people in the towns continue asking for arms in order to defend the government, but the im- possibility of accurately gauging the dominant motives in the Cuban'char- acter adds another element to the un- certainty of the situation. The government has received a re- port that ex-Congressman Carlos Men- dieta, a leading citizen of Santa Clara, has taken up arms with a large force. ‘While the report is not confirmed the government officials are inclined to believe it, as Mendieta has been re- garded with suspicion. The mayor of Aguacato, in Havana province, and several other mayors apparently are uncertain whether to be loyal to the government or other- ‘wise. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. President Palma Says Insurrection ls Small Affair. Havana, Aug. 23.—President Palma, im an interview with the correspond- ent of the Associated Press, said: ' “Our situation, at first, was one of unpreparedness, as is usual in such cases. We are taking a little time to prepare to cope with it. But there is positively no cause for alarm. The movement in Santa Clara province is small, in Matanzas it is trifiing and the bands in Pinar del Rio are smaller than reported and are poorly led.” MAKING VENEZUELAN MONEY.

Springfield, 111, Aug. 23.—The presi- dential boom of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon for 1908, which was launched last weel: by his own congressional district, was given an enthusiastic endorsement by the Republican: state convention here.
