[} ' Mavana, Aug. 29.—The enlistment ot volunteers by the government has been suspended by the government until the effect of President Palma’s offer of amnesty to the insurgents can be determined. At the palace confi- dence is felt that the great body of rebels who have been carrled away with the idea that they were to have a conspicuous part in the overthrow of the Palma administration will seize the present opportunity to return to lawful pursuits rather than jeopardize their liberty by further supporting what the government characterizes as & hopeless cause. BATTLE AT CIENFUEGOS. Rural Guards and Volunteers Defeat Insurgents. Havana, Aug. 29.—The rebel force under General Guzman was defeated during the night near Cienfuegos with heavy loss. . For several days it had been stated that General Guzman’s force of insur- gents, which was variously estimated at from 200 upwards, contemplated an attack upon Clenfuegos. Colonel Valle, | with a detachment of rural guards and volunteers, was dispatched to Clen-l fuegos for the purpose of engaging Guzman and breaking up the band. The encounter of the two forces re- 1 Civil war will be regarded, unaer the Platt law, in the same light as pestilence or the unsanitary condi- tions which ‘might breed it. A high official of the state department said that one wonld be as offensive to the United States as the other. PLANS TO TAKE HAVANA. Celonel Guerra to Join Forces With General Guzman. Havana, Aug. 29.—Colonel Guerra plans, according to a messenger sent to interview him, to take all towns on the north coast of Cuba, for which purpose he has sent detachments. ‘When the work is completed he will begin an invasion of Havana province in conjunction with General Guzman's forces of Santa Clara province and Captain Asbert, who is now operating in Havana province. GERMANY ACTIVE IN PERSIA. British Government Closely Watching Developments There. London, Aug. 29.—The British gov- ernment is fully alive to the critical condition of affairs in Persia and to the alleged efforts of Germany to ob- tain a footing there and it is stated steps doubtless will be taken by the powers to protect their interests when a crisis arrives. Thus far the foreign office says nothing has occurred to justify outside interference. So far as Germany's action is concerned she has done nothing to which Great Brit- ain or any of the powers could take exception, her efforts being confined to the expansion of trade. The offi- cials here do not helieve that Germany is trylng to secure an island in the Persian gulf as a naval hase, as it would be at all times at the mercy of a hostile fleet. As for a commercial port the officials add there cannot be sny objection to her obtaining one. A—— ) HOPES TO WIN PEASANTS: Emperor lssues Ukase Transferring Milliens of Acres of Land. 8t.

ADDRESS TO THE EMPEROR. Monarchial Party lssues Appeal for a Dictatorship. Moscow, Aug. 29.—The Monarchiel party, in an address to the emperor, ! Just published, openly appeals for a dictatorship “which will put an end to the demoralization in the the army” and also urges the complete suppres- | sion of parliament and the restoration of the unlimited autocracy. Should his majesty, however, insist on retaining the parliament the Monarchists prom- ise loyal participation in the elections, upon the condition of a change in the election law providing for the exclu- | sion of the Jews from the suffrage. RIDDLE HOUSE WITH BULLETS. Police and Troops Kill All Inmates of the Place. Riga, Aug. 29.—Police and troops surrounded a lodging house on Sto- livia street, where bombs had been dis- covered. The revolutionists inside | fired with rifles from the windows on | the attacking party and also threw a bomb, whereupon the troops riddled the house with bullets, killing or wounding all the inmates. Two men and a woman were killed. LARGE IRRIGATION PROJECT. Soheme to Reclaim Million Acres of Colorado Land. Denver, Aug. 29.—Recently there has been filed with the state engineer of Colorado papers that have for their purpose the redemption of nearly 1,000,000 acres of arid land, the largest | irrigation proposition that has ever ! been undertaken by private capital. Frank J, MacArthy, a‘civil engineer of Denver, is now drafting plans to build a reservoir that will cover twen- ty-four square miles, with an average depth of thirty-five feet and will use the entire surplus water of the Platte river. Heretofore it has been estimated that 38,115,000,000 cubic feet of water was wasted yearly in the Platte river, water which if properly diverted and used on land adjoining would irrigate 1,000,000 acres of land and would sup- port 100,000. This proposition is being financed by a syndicate of New York and Lon- don bankers. Engineer MacArthy es- timates that the reservoir and dam will cost in the neighborhood of $4,- 000,000. The work will commence about Oct. 10 of this year. Egs and Bottle, Take a bolled egg, remove the shell, bave a bottle with a large neck, add & piece of paper to the neck and light it.
