It Is understood that the Insurgent lead ers are willing to lay down their arms providing the Plnar d^J Rio chieftain does so under a promise of general amnesty and on election law which will assure a free vote and a fair count.

In the latter province General Guzman has been elected com mander In chief by the various bands of Insurgents operating in that pro vince, with Colonel Juan Bravo as his lieutenant. Guzman now has 700 fairly well armed men under his command. Guer ra has, it is safd, taken up his inarch toward Bahia Honda, where a revolu tionary band under Marchette Is In control.

It Is hinted that Avaloez was not over anxious to bring about a general en gagement. Guerra Is reported at Mantua, 15 miles northwest of Guancs.
