Doubtless this report Is as near correct as CON-
handing officers are in the habit OF giving concern
ing operations in the field, but still the evidences
are plenty that it Is Iar from giving correct view
OF the situation. The insurgents In the Cinco Villas
are varousy estimated at from 1000 to 900 men.
L
this is for convenience In obtaining supplies and TO
enable them the better to carry the war in the
manner they have adopted, viz. to keep the Span
sn troops actively employed without sacrificing
themselves leaving to the climate and to disease the
task OF killing them or aud to ruin the Spanish ex-
chequer by putting an end to agricultural operations

find them IN any numbers, hut they are Kept IN

tinued destruction OF estates all through
the section, from Cienluegos up to the
line OF Puerto Principe show how powerless
these troops are. Another point as insignificant,
the Captain General makes out the insurgents to be
in the localities he has visited, constant additions
found necessary to the large government forces
there, aud one or more battalions OF volunteers
from this city are to be sent at once. IL Ii adj
mtted fact that the insurgents are struggling under
the greatest Disadvantages, bat reliable Information
confirms the idea Of their entire confidence In ult-
mate success. AS TO the idea advanced by his Excel!
ency that all ctLzenS, Islanders "a well as peninSu
lars, are ready 10 aid the government in putting
end to the insurrectlon 1t Is the sneerest nonsense
IN the world. There probably never was great
struggle In the world. where, upon the main ques
ton, there was greater unanimity OF sentiment
tnari in this war. The Cubans almost to q man. are
opposed to Spanish rule, though differing the
best means OF putting an end to it.. Sure. many OF
them are Ia the ranks OF the volunteers but 1t Is
SUFFICIENT to say that no one OF them would be
