all communication from those ports are
cut off. The government troops have

In the towns and dare not sally out.
The arms from the United States for
the government troops, were captured
on a train by the insurgents on the

formed, and shoot all whom they
catch pillaging.
Later advices from Puerto Principe
state that the insurgent forces are re-
