Rumor has it that the United Rail- roads will. give in to the carmen order to avoid the strike. A story was going the rounds yesterday that Mul- jally was in communication with Cal- houn and had received instructions to accede to the terms of the men and avold a strike. This rumor, however, nas not been officially confirmed. Mullaily says he is powerless to act the board of directors has met. He says it up to the board and to Calhoun. Whatever they say is law. _ut before the directors get together it is ..iely that the strike will be-on unless some powertul influence is brought to bear on the carmen to prevent them from assembling on Saturday night. President Cornelius refuses to do any more talking. He declares positively that there will be no further commu- nications sent to the .nited Raiiroads. It is his opinion that the company un- derstands the situation thoroughly and it is but a mere waste of time to en- gage in further exchange of letters Me says the men have made their de- mands and if the United Railroads does not see fit to meet them it must acccot the consequences. is werle: as ared to ation in | Every Billy Ba lighted to read the story of how to the Seal Rocks, on the Boys’ and Girls’ Page of the Sunday Call boy and girl will be de- ne drifted out Golden Gate SAN FRANCISCO, FRIDAY, AUGUST "PRICE FIVE CENTS. | SAN FRANCISCO CALL'S | __newstooav. ) NEWS TODAY.

Across the streets, in Neptune Park, a great, crowd, mostly negro friends of Bandera, are watching the morgue with silent interest. The arrival of Bandera’s body here was the first news of the fight in which he met his death. The conflict occurred at the Silveira farm, near Punta Brava, fifteen miles from Havana. A detachment of thirty- eight mounted rural guards were searching throughout the night for Ban- derd’s party. At 2 o’clock this morning the guards were breaking through a wire fence at the edge of the Silveira farm when they were suddenly fired upon by Bandera’s followers, twenty in number. The guards rushed upon the insurgents, but with the exception of their chief and his two leading comrades they all succeeded in getting away. The guards made the chief and his two companions a special object of attack and all three received several bullet wounds and were horribly mutilated by matchete cuts. Not one of the guards was wounded. Rebel General's Body Horribly Hacked The bodies of Bandera and his two companions were placed in a | wagon and taken to Havana. An examination of Bandera's body showed that his principal wound was a severe machete blow on the head which cut off his left ear and made an ugly incision in his face. He also had bullet wounds in his arms and breast. The condition of Bandera’s dead companions was even more shocking. It has been an open secret among the rural guards that Bandera would never live to be tried for treason, his death being the main object of the Government forces operating in Havana province. It is believed the insurrectionary movement in Western Havana has been broken up by his death. The insurgent forces commanded by Pino Guerrero have captured San Juan de Martinez, the terminits of the Western Raiitpad. There was ud blondshed ASESrdiiiy 16 réparts. The small force of rural guards which held the town fied at the approach of the insurgents. General Manager Livesy of the Western this afternoon received a message from Guerrero saying: “I am in possession 'of your station. If any more troops are sent over the Western Railroad I will blow up the bridge and destroy your property.” Mr. Livesy did not answer the dispatch, but immediately forwarded it to the palace. Later Guerrero wired Mr. Livesy, saying: “If you send any more troops over the Western Railroad will blow up vour bridges and burn your stations and property irrespective of any international complications or any other consideration.” Mr. Livesy carried the message directly to the Secretary of the Interior, with whom he held a consultation. Government to Make Stand at Pimar del Rio The capture of San Juan was not a great surprise, though it was not expected to occur so soon. The place was protected by a very small detachment of rural guards, while Guerrero’s strength was much greater. in that vicinity twice as many troops as Guerrero can muster. It is regarded as more than probable that the troops will take the offensive and if possible draw Guerrero into an open fight. While Government reinforcements are going forward Guerrero’s following is not believed to have been greatly augmented by his occupancy of the two Vuelta Abajo towns. Secretary of State and Justice O’Farrill, Acting Minister of the In- terior, resigned from the Cabinet today. General Freyre Andrade, Speaker of the House and formerly Secretary of the Interior, is slated for the interior portfolio temporarily. General Andrade is one of the most vigorous supporters of the Government. A correspondent found him today per- sonally 'superintending the arming and supplying of the recruits for the rural guards. The man who yesterday attempted to, assassinate General Emilio Nunez, Governor of Havana province, as the latter was entering his home, gives the name of Luis Morales and says he is a resident of Havana. He does not attempt to justify his act. He said he had ridden his horse for a distance near the Governor’s carriage and would have shot into the vehicle and escaped had the opportunity offered. Little Enthusiasm Manifested at Havana Public opinion appears to vary, according to locality, from enthusiastic adherence to the Government to open rebellion. In this city the general attitude is one of loyalty. The opposition and independent newspapers discuss with coldness the theory that if the Government is not able to squelch the insurrection within two months other forceful means must be employed for the restoration of peace.. There are no ringing calls to arms. The moderate newspapers print with approval the resolutions declaring adhesion to the Government by their party organizations, but there has been nothing which could be fairly described as a general rising pf the people in defense of the Government. Colonel Rojas and all three of the companies of artillery stationed in the Havana forts have been ordered to Pinar del Rio, the authorities considering that Havana is sufficiently guarded by rural guards and pdlice and the new city guards. President Palma will personally defray the expenses of General Ban- dera’s funeral. The members of the staff of General Maximo Gomez in the last war for independence met today and resolved to offer their services at the funeral. Pino Guerrero has sent threatening messages to members of the Agrarian League stating that he will pillage their plantations if they organize forces against the insurrection. In consequence of Guerrero’s threats on the Western Railway orders have been issued to guard permanently &very railway bridge between Pina del Rio and San Juan de Martinez and to erect breastworks opposite each bridge to be occupied by the troops. Washington Hears the Revolt Is Spreading . . WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—The following dispatch was received from Mr. Sleeper, the American Charge d’Affaires in Havana today: “Reports have been received that the outbreak has spread to Santa Clara and Matanzas provinces. Carlos Montveita witn 200 men is now in Santa Clara province. In Matanzas the movement is said to be of little importance and its leader unknown. General Jose Miguel Garcia is under arrest. The Government is enlisting volunteers. It asserts its ability to crush the uprising.” y The United States Government still declares that 5 i - i 1 of Perfe¢t Unity Desired SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.—Gen eral Greely, commanding the Pacific Division, with headquarters at San Francisco, in his annual report to the ‘War Department virtually says there was friction between himself and Gen- eral Funston over the manner in which the situation during the earthquake was handled. He does not use the name of General Funston, but dwells on the question of divided authority between the division and post commanders. On this subject he says: “An attempt has been made in the regulations to prescribe specifically the duties of each, and for ordinary routine work that appears to work fairly well, but in an emergency, especially where prompt action is necessary, the system caused unnecessary delay and there re- sults a'lack of co-operation altogether opposed to efficlent action. L “It 1s belleved to be an erroneous military principle to have the territory covered by two commanders. It has been recognized in all military history that the most successful results are attained under a single head and, with- out entering into details, {t is to be sald that the recent experience in San Francisco developed large numbers of instances to show that such a dual com- mand is not the most efficient., " “Bxpérisnces in San Francisco led to the conclusion that every department whose duty {t is to in any manner fur- nish supplies to' the troops of a com- mand should be locally under the im- mediate supervision of the territorial commander; no absolutely independent bureau or branch bureau should be permitted within the territorial limits of a military command, when the duties of such bureau or branch of bureau pertain to the supply of that command. “The relief operations in San Fran- cisco were marked by some of that spirit of divided interests which, while not going to the extent of embar- rassing the division commander, yet falled in several instances to insure that degree of perfect unity which should obtain in every military com- mand.” SPIRT OF REVOLT IN MONTREAL SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. MONTREAL, Aug. 23.—The Montreal Star, up to now most loyal to the Brit- ish empire, has a most sensational and threatening editorial in connection with the proposed settlement of points of difference between England and the United Statef. In this it says: “The cable report that the British Governmént is contemplating the set- tlement of all outstanding questions be- tween the British empire and the United States without regard, if neces- sary, to Canadian protests, will find no credence in this country. It is impos- sible to belleve that any British Min- istry would at this time be gullty of so mad a plece of folly. Canada accepted the Alverstone surrender in a spirit which should—if it did not—have com- manded the admiration and gratitude of the mother country. “We know our American neighbors here very much better than the pub- lic men of Britain can possibly know them, and, while we like them very greatly and exchange visits with them very pleasantly and are delighted to see the ‘entente’ between them and the empire, we have learned by much varied experience that the best way to secure their confidence and respect is not to let them frighten or fool us into the surrender to them of what is rightfully our own. A repetition of this experi- ence, however, might not be followed by a repetition of Canadian patience.” —_— COURT RENDERS SIXTY-ONE DIVORCE DECISIONS IN DAY Judge MacLean of New York Supreme " Court Breaks All Records in Han- ling Such Cases.

A dispatch received by the State ‘Department today from American Min- ister Hicks at Santiago announced that a donation of $10,000 had been received from San Francisco. ol During Quake, Victim SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. VALPARAISO, Aug. 23.—The public authorities are doing all they can to| relleve the sufferings of the earth- quake victims. Help Is coming from Peru and Argentina in the shape of transports loaded with provisions and medical supplies. The people made homeless have found shelter among the hills, In tent communities, on the ave- nues and some In the few ships remain- ing In the harbor. Though a week has elapsed since the disaster, no complete list of lives lost and no accurate estimate of property | destroyed can yet be made. Two-thirds of the city is In ruins, and its com- merce for the time being s wiped out. The dead, so far as can be ascertained, number at least 5000. Provisions are scarce, but supplies are on the way, and actual suffering from lack of food may be averted. It is reported here that the surrounding provinces were only slightly affected by tho earth- quake and that in Santiago only a few buildings fell or were burned.

Telegraphic and tele- phonic communication with Santiago has been re-established, but the lines are used almost exclusively by the Government officials. The city is still under martial law. Traffic ceases at § o'clock in the evening and everybody is compelled to take some part in the work of restoring normal conditions. MILLIONS FOR RELIEF. As a first installment the Govern- ment has appropriated $4,000,000 for the rellfef of tme destitute. The custom- house was reopened today and trafie by water and by rail has been resumed. The postal service also s in operation. One of the greatest difficulties en- countered by the authorities is the in- terment of the bodies recovered from the ruins, as all the cemeteries were destroyed. At the various temporary Morgues heaps of coffins have been ac- cumulated, awaiting the designation of their place of burial. The work of re- covering the bodles is being pushed to the utmest in order to avoid an epi- demiec, in fear of which mady families are leaving the city.
