Havana, Cuba, Sept. 11.—Later ad vices from the fighting about Consola- clon del Sur leave no doubt that the government has gained an Important victory over Pino Guerra, largely through the use of American machine guns. While the rebels still outnumber Avaloes's force, the better discipline and arms and the presence of the ma chine guns, more than make up for the differences In number. . The result of the fight undoubtedly has led President Paima to take the stand he has In practically proclaim ing martial law, withdrawing the offer of amnesty to tho rebels In the field who laid down their arms. This means the pursuit of an organized policy of repression and arrests already have begun. Former Mayor Arrested. Dr. O'Farrlll, former mayor of Ha vana, has been taken Into custody.

This reply to his overtures has provoked a similar attitude on the part of the government, and It appoarH that both sides are now lined up for a con flict even more bitter and desperate than those heretofore promised tq be.
