WASHINGTON, November 24.-The
latest reliable news from Cuba con-
corning the insurgents shows de-
cline in their cause, and that they are
not now in possession of single
town, having been obliged even to
abandon Guayamara, the seat of the
Cespedes government.
The is now no doubt that several
months ago Gen. Jordan proposed to
surrender to the Spanish authorities,
not on his own account, but on that
of his men from the United States,
who were, he said, forced to take the
front of battle in all cOmbats, and in
consequence of this, comparatively
few American soldiers survived. But
the Cubans prevented the consumma-
ton Of Jordan's object. Gen. Jordan
was therefore unable to leave the
country, and was transferred to the
staff of Cespedes.
