The occu- pancy by the lusargents of the towns southwestward of Pinar del Rio is con- A serious question is whether the populations of the captured towns and that of the thickly settled and marvel ously rich Vuelta Abajo tobacco re glon surrounding them will join Guer r's forces. If they do, the losurgent leader will approach Pinar del Rio In overwhelming force. The outcome depends on the loyatty of the people. It Is undeniable that Guerra is gathering hundreds of vet. erans and others under his leadership, and It is Impossible to estimate the sincerity of the people in Pinar del Rio, who have been Jooked upon as likely to support the government. A detachment of 250 Cuban artillery- men from Havana have reached Pinar del Rio, where they will cooperate with the rural guards and volunteers. These artillerymen, however, can only Act as infantry, as they have not been trained to use ficld guns. A bospital corps and other details are following the artillerymen In readiness for what is expected to be a short and decisive campaign. Considerable sympathy Is developing in Havana for General Gomez, who Is commonly believed to be too broad minded a patriot to mix himself up In revolutionary schemes, Unconfirmed rumors are in circula- tion that several hundred insurrection- jsts have taken the field in the province of Santiago, and uprisings are reported from many points in Santa Clara and Matanzas provinces, The frst encounter in Santa Clam province occurred yesterday. A de tachment of rursl guards attacked an Insurgent band, commanded by Manuel Gonzales, between Banto Domingo and 1 Colon. The insurgents were scattered and some of their arms apd ammuni- ton were captured.

SEVEN OTHERS NARROWLY ESCAPE Five Men Capaise on Sloop and Arve Rescued by Swedish 'Hero—Gev- ernment Life Savers Hes ene Twe More, ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Aug. 25.— During a severe northeast storm which prevailed along the coast one person was drowned apd seven others had BAITOW escapes from death In the waves. The drowned man was Louls Simpkins, formerly of Philadelphia, He and two companions were on a fGshing trip in & launch. Off Brigantine City they were caught In a whirlpool caused by cross currents and the storm. Iu trying to avoid a big wave Stnpkins lost his balance and fell into the sea. Despite their danger Simpkins’ com- panions made a brave effort to pick him up, but before they were able to do this he sank and was drowned. As the wen were nbout to leave the scene bis body cawe to the surface, and they managed to drag him Into the lannch. Shortly after this accident five young men who came here in a sloop yacht Virginia from Island Helghts left the inlet for the return trip up the coast. Professional yachisinen tried to per- suade thew pot to attempt to go to sea, but they did not heed the warning and salled away. Io making a loug tack towards Brigantine beach the yacht was carried on the dangerous bar out side the Inlet. The mast snapped off, and the boat began pounding on the sand. The captain of a large. yacht saw the aceldent, but, having on board & number of passengers, he did nop care to endanger their lives by going too near the bar. While the five men were cligging to thelr craft, momeutar. lly expecting to be washed to thelr death, a hero in the person of John Johnson, a Swedish fisherman, went to the rescue In a frail gasoline launch. He did not falter in the face of the storm, And after a hard struggle Iu which his little boat was tossed about by the waves he manage! to get along- side the Virginia and took the five men off. The rescued men rewarded John- son bandeomely. Later Thowas and Howard Butler, sons of Congressman Butler of Penn- sylvanis, were rescued from drowning by the government life saving crew after their little boat bad been over turued in a heavy sea. Both swam to the capsized craft, but were belug car- ried out to sea In the strong current when thelr cries were heard by the life savers. They were exhausted when rescued. SMOKES AFTER BIG FALL.
