0M Insurrection. This, however, is not con
ftrmed.
At Baa Antonio de los Banos. in Havana Prov
ince, situated twenty-one miles southwest of
Havana, a detachment of rural guards to-day
encountered a band of Insurgents. Of the latter
two were killed, their comrades dispersing.
The first encounter In Santa Clara Province
occurred this morning. A detachment of rural
guards attacked an insurgent band, commanded
by Manuel Gonxales. between Santo Domingo
and Colon. The Insurgents were scattered and
some of their arms and ammunition were capt
ured.
The government's extra expenses sinoa August
19 have been $270,000.
The critics of the government privately ridi
cule the plans of the government to bring rapid
fir* guns to the Island, asserting that the ex
periences of the Spaniards with these guns in
Cuba, proved their ueelessness In the field. They
admit however, their value for the protection of
cities and highways.
In an Interview to-day. Alfredo Zayae. vice
president of the Senate and leader of the Liberal
part}*, said:
The Liberals will take no action and make no
official statement with regard to the present re
volt unless the independence of Cuba should be
menaced by action* of the revolutionists, or
the government, which would be likely to bring
outside interference.
Senator Zayas admitted that It was true that
tbe majority of the insurgents were Liberals,
but said that there were also Moderates and
Nunestas among the Insurgents.
The Liberals, he eaid. always had been opposed
to a resort to arms, and did not countenance the
present method of protest against the manner of,
the holding of the last elections.
The government. It \n understood, has sent
to Tesas to buy 2.000 horses for the army. The
government already has bought 600 horses here.
The government has cabled to General Rlus
Rivera. Minister to Central and South American
countries, to return Immediately to Cuba.
The reported arrest of Orestes Ferrara is de
nied, but it is admitted that be Is under sur
veillance.
General Jose Miguel Gomez, at his formal ar
raignment to-day, denied the allegation that he
bad engaged in conspiracy against the govern
ment.
There Is no foundation In fact for the rumor
in circulation to-night that the government has
begun negotiations with Pino Guerra.
More troops will be forwarded to the western
districts to-morrow.
While the troops were being conveyed by rail
road train from'Plnar del Rio to San Juan y
Martinez ordinary traffic on the railroad was
suspended. There has been no Interruption of
railroad communication by insurgents.
There Is grave doubt whether the force of
government troops now at San Juan y Martinez
•would be able to withstand an attack by the
forces of Pino Guerra.
Aside from slight encounters in the provinces
of Havana and Santa Clara, nothing of Impor
tance has transpired to-day. The enlistment of
rural guards and volunteers is going on slowly
in the provinces, but in the city of Havana en
listments are somewhat better. The City Coun
cil appropriated $50,00) this afternoon for the
support of the city militia, of which there are
two divisions, the Interior and the exterior,
under command of General Sanchez Agramonte.
The government expects that the steamer
Mexico, which will sail from New York on Sat
urday, will bring: eighteen rapid fire guns, ten
million cartridges, and twelve thousand Lee
rifles.
Tomas Estrada Palma. jr.. joined the Havana
City Militia to-day.
The insurgents have been absent from San
L.U!* since early this morning, but no troops
have yet occupied the place.
The disturbed situation of the country is inter
. fering greatly with commerce. The transporta
tion of merchandise by railroad has practically
ceased, shippers fearing the seizure of their
. goods.
CUBANS FLOCKING HOME
Alarmed by Insurrection — Hasten to
Protect Interests.
Alarmed by the news from their country, th*
Cubans in this city are hurrying home that they
may be on tli* ground to look after their interests.
Th*> Ward Line steamer Mexico, which sails to
day for Havana, Barries a full passenger Met.

yesterday of the situation in Cuba:
; There Is but one way to deal with the rebellion,
»nd that is to stain]* it oiit at once. This the gov
ernment will d-> in a very short time, without re
rrr-rd to ex pen**. The suppression of the Insurgents
mill ;e so effectual that there will be no more
trouble on the island.
At «he Cuban Consulate, which for the last week
has presented scenes much like those that took
place at the Junta during the last revolution, no
official r.ews had been received frcm Havana.
Many young Cubans have presented themselves at
the" consulate and offered th*-ir services to the gov
ernment, but to nil these Befior Altamira. acting
consul general, explained that volunteers were not
needed. Sefior Altamira s.iid that he knew nothing
about an order beint? placed in this country by the
Cuhan government for four rapid tire guns, as was
reported yesterday fro:n Havana.
"They have not been ordered through the on

a leading tobacco Importer said yesterday that

MUf, at th« leaf has already been picked and
packed. He said. .-V
Z am sure that the Insurrection cannot last long.
I base my opinion on my knowledge of the coun
try, and my views are from a strictly business
standpoint. it is not surprising that the Insur
gents have selected Pinar del Rio Province to
start their movement. 1 doubt If any other of the
five provinces, with the possible exception of
Santiago, will respond to a call to arms. The
reason for it ia this: The tobacco crop in Pinar
del Rio suffered severely from the unusual heavy
rains, the crop was short, the planters lost much
money and there is much idleness In tha province.
There it was not difficult to enlist volunteers in
any kind of cause. In Havana Province it Is dif
ferent. The Havana tobacco growers hay* had a
good and profitable crop, and everybody is toe
well satisfied to engage in a revolt.
The same condition exists in Matansas and Santa
Clara, where there have been heavy sugar crops.
In Puerto Principe Province, where the cattle m
dustry has prospered as well ac the sugar grow
ing, the people are too well contented to risk their
prosperity for the political advancement of a group
of men.
Santiago in an unknown quantity, and no on*
can tell what might happen there. It is possible
that the insurrection will obtain support there.
But the disturbance will be confined to Pinar del
i.io. with just a possibility of an outbreak In San
tiago. The other four provinces. lam certain, will
not take part, and It should not tak* th* govern
ment long to restore peace In the island.
NEGROES FORM TO AID INSURRECTION.
Tampa. Fla., Aug. 24.— A secret organisation of
Cuban Negroes with about sixty members has been

PrBLISJfIXG SCHEME ALLEGED FRAUD
Historian of Indiana Counties Said to Have
Swindled by False Subscriptions.
[P.t Telegraph to Tt 1 * Trlbui.e. 1
Knightstown. Ind.. Aug. 24.— What is alleged
to have been an extensive fraud In Henry, Madi
son, Delaware and other counties resulted In
the arrest of George Hazzard at Newcastle to
day, charged with forgery. Hazzard came to
this county four years ago from Tacoma, Wash.,
where he was chairman of the Democratic State
Committee.
Shortly after coming here he announced his
intention to publish a history of Henry County,
and began soliciting indorsements for the work.
He visited leading business and professional
men throughout the county, and obtained hun
dreds of names to a paper which is said to have
merely indorsed his ability to write a work of
historic character.
The history was published recently In two
volumes, which were distributed to tho persons
whose names were on the indorsement. Haz
zard's agents made deliveries, and in many cases
the books were left at homes while the men
were at work. In hundreds of instances the
books were refused and payment denied, on the
ground that the books were not ordered. It Is
charged that Hazzard changed the Indorsement
over the names.

FIGHT IN OPEN NOW.
Active Campaign hi/ Mayor's Forces
Against Murphy,
The covert fight between Charles F. Murphy and
George B. McClel!an for the leadership and control
of Tammany Hall was made overt last night at a
rally In the interests of James Ryan's candidacy
for the Democratic control of the new lsth Assem
bly District. John H. O'Brien, th* Fire Commis
sioner. Is back of Ryan, and th* latter Is heralded
as the administration's candidate.
There are four candidates In th« field for the
Democratic leadership— James Ahearn. who Is run
ning independently; James F. Itellly. Alderman
Charles Hahn and James 8. Ryan. Rellly and
Hahn represent the respective choices of th* two
former leaders of the old district. Matthew Donohue
and ex-Deputy Police Commissioner McAvoy.
The speakers at last night's meeting denounced
the leadership of Charles F. Murphy and commend
ed the Mayor's administration. The rally, which
was an open-air affair, was held at the triangle
formed by 128 th and Manhattan streets.
It has been expected that Fire Commissioner
O'Brien would be present and deliver a speech, but
George G. Freer, who Is one of the chief lieuten
ants for Ryan, stated that the Fir* Commissioner
had been suddenly called to Saratoga owing to
the illness of his wife.
The meeting was presided over by Colonel James
E. Rogers. The first speaker was William Coner.
In the course of his. remarks he said: "We want to
let Mr. Murphy kriow that a Democrat Is a man
and not a Jumping Jack to be pulled by hie string.
"We are In this fight not only for the leadership of
th* district, but for the building up of th* party
in the city and state. As far as I am concerned
I will kick the entire old gang out."
The next speaker was Charles Rothskopt He
characterized Murphy as a so-called leader, with
knees doubly bent before both Jerome and Hearst.
Continuing, he said: "While the leader of Tam
many Hall cannot be trusted, the Mayor of the city
has given us an administration, of which we may
be proud. He has been an admirable man." ■-.•■• ■-■»
The next speaker was Martin J. O'Brien. His
speech was diplomatic and along general lines,
and principally in favor of Ryan. At the end of
his speech the candidate, James F. Ryan, was
Introduced. He thanked his auditors for their
presence, and told them that If elected leader, he
would try to represent them to the best of his
ability.
Mr. Ryan was born in the district, and lives at
present at No. £871 Broadway. He has always »>een a
Democrat and connected with Tammany Hall
since becoming; a voter. Ha has been election cap
tain in the district for fifteen years. His occu
pation Is that of a contractor, and since his an
nounced candidacy he has had the misfortune of
having his stables burned out, in which he lost
heavily.
MARCH HASXT RETIRED.
Republican Leader of Third Denies
Rumor by Rival's Supporters.
James E. March, Republican leader of the new
Sd District, last night denied a story circulated
by the supporters of his rival, J. B. G. Rine
hart, saying that Mr. March had retired from
tho contest for leadership of the district, and
that Louis J. Hoenlnger and Mr. Rinehart would
settle the contest between themselves. Mr.
March said:
There Is nothing in tho story. It Is a fact
that I do not care to continue longer as leader,
but that Is different from retiring while under
fire. I am not built that way.
I have been leader of the old 6th for a good
many years. Every primary fight costs me from
$1,500 to $2,000, and the regular election cam
paign as much more. I have always paid this
expenditure from my own funds, and sometimes
it has been a good deal of a burden. When I
told my friends I thought of retiring they at once
objected.
The reapportionment throws Mr. Hoeninger,
of the old 3d, into this district with me, and Mr.
Rinehart, a collegian with a desire to pick up
some information about East Side politics, has
Joined us here with the intention of becoming
the leader. If I decide to stay in the flght neither
Mr. Rinehart nor Mr. Hoeninger will be leader.
I take the position that either Hoeninger or my
self should retire. There is a very large Italian
population in the district, and I have grown up
with it. They know me and I know them. The
Bullivans would like it well enough if 1 would
quit, but I have not made up my mind about lt.
MAGISTRATE CORNELL'S IRE UP.
Th' j ? ht Man Was Trying -to Reach 11 Him
Through Political Full.
A large, well dressed German, about fifty years
old. strutted up to the magistrate's bench in the
Harlem court yesterday afternoon and asked Magis
trate Cornell to discharge Magda Carstonsen. the
young woman who was sent to the Island with her
consent when she was arraigned two weeks ago on
a charg» of vagrancy. Sho lived two weeks in
Mount Morris Park.
"I'm the husband of ray wife," said the German,
"and she has a woman friend who wrote you a let
ter, asking you to dlschargo Magda Carstensen
from the workhous*."
"But surely you don't expect that I for a moment
would think of discharging a woman from the
workhouse in the custody of a man?" said Magis
trate Cornell.
The German assured the magistrate that he was
honorable, and, as proof of the allegation, threw
out his chest, breathed deeply, and, drawing a card
from his breast pocket, threw It haughtily on the
bench.
Magistrate Cornell took up the/ card and read
aloud: "Membership card, Florence J. Sullivan
Association."
For a minute the magistrate was speechless. Sud
denly he fairly shouted: "By heaven! If you think
thut that card has the slightest effect on me, you
ure a well, you are mistaken."
Then, leanlns over the bench, his finger shaking
under the very nose of the German, the magistrate
cried:
"By all that's holy! If T knew you were trying
to reach me through a political pull, I'd leave my
seat to wring your neck. Get out of here! Get
out of here! Get out of here!''
The German grabbed his membership card and
fled.

TOO MAXY BRYAN COOKS.

r .-, t ( on headquarters in th- -Victoria. Kvory now
-•! then there In an outbreak among tt,« *V.ooks"
IjkttsjM some one la -owdlng." The Idea of
getting up a large show for Mr. Bryan's hem*
coming was conceived and patented by Harry ,V«".
Walker and William Hog*, of the Commercial
Travellers' Anil-Trust LiajUl. This league Is a
good deal of a. Joke, but It had a happy thought
when It proposed a Bryan celebration. When
things got under full swing, along came the politic
clans, like the bustling Mr. Mack, or Buffalo, and
Colonel Alexander Troup. a large man who, be
sides taking up two chairs In the counsels of the
Bryan men. has a good deal to say. Flesh and
blood can stand a lot at times, but things got to
the breaking point yesterday. Mr. Walker de
cided It was about time •>. uhow some people their
ji'ace?, ,'.-,,\ he gave out tha following:
Politician* headed by Colonel Alexander Troup.
of Connecticut; Norman B. Mack, th* national
commltteemah of New York, who were invited
into the home coming welcome to William Jen
nings Bryan by tbe Commercial Travellers* Anti-
Trust League, are now seemingly Intent on the
movement, and taking It away from th* commer
cial travellers. The Commercial Travellers Anti-
Trust League will Insist upon carrying out its
original arrangements, even If they have to tell
these politicians to retire. Mr. Bryan accepted
the invitation from the Commercial Travellers'
Anti-Trust League, and we think that he will
appear there as stated.
When Mr. Mack saw the-etatement he '.*-.*'
and said:
Ob. say, now, this Is too bad. X didn't mean te
but in. Trouo and I are called "these politicians."
Too bad! But, say. between us. If this Isn't some
thing of a political demonstration— tnls reception
for Mr. Bryan— what is lt? There is a popular im
pression that there is a good deal of politics In It.
and Mr. Bryan himself so regards It. so why
shouldn't politicians take part in It? I am not
making any trouble in the committee, and there is
no talk about Hearst in the arrangements. ! mbj
for Hearst for Governor, but this is a Bryan reosp
tlon, and Hearst does not figure In It.
When Mr. Troup read th* statement at New
Haven last night his only comment was: "I have
nothing to say."
Ex-Governor Benton McMillan, of Tennessee, ar
rived In this city yesterday morning with a delega
tion of citizens from that state to attend tbe Bryan
reception. The rat* of a single far* for the round
trip from Tennessee has enticed hundreds of peo
ple from that state on the excursion. It Is expected
that hundreds more will be on hand. Th* ex-Gov
ernor said that a great many people are coming
from his state to see New York and Bryan.
It was announced yesterday that a be* :■»•»«•<
dinner in honor of Mr. Bryan will be given on Sat
urday evening. September 1, at Healy's, in Colum
bus avenue. The dinner, too. will be for th* metro
politan and out-of-town newspaper men. Thomas

DECRIES HRfES'S NOMINATIONS.
Good Argument for Non-Partisan Justice
ships. Says Prominent Republican.
Th* Judiciary Nominators, of which Joseph H.
Choate .s chairman, yesterday Issued the following
statement:
A prominent Republican living In one of the up
town districts has written the following letter to a
member of the Judiciary Nominators' Committee
In regard to the action of the Republican organ
izations in the Ist, 4th and ftth districts this week:
"The action taken in these districts is of abso
lutely no importance, from whatever standpoint lt
is viewed. The Ist, 4th and 9th are among the
weakest Republican districts In New York, and the
spectacle of Mike Hines placing anybody In nomi
nation' for th* Supreme Court speaks for Itself. It
Is as good an argument as I have seen in favor of
your movement to secure, non-partisan candidates
of the highest character and ability for the vacant
Judgeshlps to be filled this fall.
"Their action may. as the newspapers report,
have been the outcome of a prearranged plan by
the leaders of the three districts, but it is abso
lutely unrepresentative of the feeling In the real
Republican districts of the county. I do not say
that all these districts are In favor of accepting tho
Judiciary Nominators' ticket, as a whole, but the
Ist. 4th and Bth have not spoken for anybody but
their leaders. This is the first time, so far as I
remember, that a district organization ever arro
gated to itself the power to nominate' candidates
for the bench."

Jeweller's Clerk, Charged with
Robbery, Brought from Denver.
Louis Mochorosky. seventeen years old, of No.
9 Goerck street, was locked up In Police Head
quarters last night charged with the larceny
of diamonds valued at $5,000, stolen several
months ago. He gave the police a chase through
many states and across the ocean. His arrest
was accomplished through his lovw for a girl In
Denver, whom he returned to see a few days ago.
Mochorosky was employed by Isaac Wolf, a
jeweller, at No. 118 Bowery. On May 1 last
Mochorosky failed to appear for work, and Wolf
discovered that valuable diamonds were missing;.
Central office detectives traced the boy to
Philadelphia, Chicago and Denver. In the last
named city he met a girl, with whom he fell In
love. All the remaining diamonds were pawned
In Denver, and Mochorosky then went to Russia,
where he visited his parents, From Russia he
went to Berlin, where he wrote to Mr. Wolf,
saying. "I took only my share of Jewelry."
Wolf had had circulars printed and sent all
over the country and wrote to the police in
Denver. About ten days ago Mochorosky re
turned to Denver and immediately went to the
house of the girl mentioned. Detectives had
been watching the house, and when he came
out he was arrested. The New York police were
Informed, and Detective Sergeant Barry arrived
In this city last night with the prisoner.
At Police Headquarters Wolf saw his former
clerk, who, according to the police, begged for
meroy. saying he had got only $2,000 for the
jewelry. Wolf, however, said that he would
prosecute the boy for the larceny.

Hill, of the 4th Connecticut District, has ulswit
from his trip to Europe to study the process*?,
conditions and government regulations surrounding
the manufacture of denatured alcohoL In a re
port of th* trip, written for "The Eraser:
Standard." Congressman Hill says in part:
Our party was received most cordially sad
treated wtth the greatest courtesy by the officials
of Groat Britain. Germany and France. We foes!
that they were not only familiar with the action
which the American Congress had taken la re
sara to the matter, but that the authorities In
England. France. Germany and Switzerland werw
already la possession of actual copies of our law.
which had passed but a short time before, and in
Germany we found that the full hearings before
th* Senate and House committee, had been trans
mitted to them. It was perfectly apparent that
they were keeping a very close watch on what we
war* doing this side of the water. A prominent
official in Great Britain said to me: **I wonder
how your country has got along tor forty years
without a denatured alcohol law. It will work a
revolution In your industries."
Mr. Hill, in his report of his trip, speaks of tfea
personal Investigations which he mad* In a Banker
of factories in England and on the Continent sai
of the favorable view he obtained cf the practical
working of denatured alcohol In Europe. He thlnto
that Americans could manufacture methylated al
cohol at a lower cost than any foreign country, sat
could even enter into competition with the fore!?*
trad*. H* says:
I am confident that the spirit can be prortgfj
ana furnished to our manufactories In th» u»ei*
States cheaper than in any foreign country, a*>
withstanding the large bounties which are b*»t
paid by the nations of Europe I have not tn:
slightest doubt that alcohol can he made muea
cheaper from corn m the Vnlted States, and tna.
th* same thing la true in th« Northwestern stat? 4
from potatoes. and probably In the Southern 5:2"*
from sweet potatoes. With the confidence wrocs
I have in th* skill and ability of the American peo
ple, and with the far cheeper cost of the product*!
of corn and potatoes and other alcohol producing
materials in th* United States. I am strongly c
th* opinion that we can not only meet the bounty
fed competition of the European countries, but w?
can undersell them in this product as well. O*
thing li certain, that the law which we now aajn
will tend very largely to the utilization of the wax
products of th* farms of the United States *«*£
from th* central points of distribution, and •*J«*
