HAVANA, December 9.-Moreno, sue
cessor of Roberts, has assumed the Go
vernorehip of Havana. Official tele-
81 grams from Madrid deny the report of
the removal of Yalmassds. The tele-
graph line between Los Timas and San
tiago de Cuba, 80 long interrupted by
the insurgents, will be working again in
few days. The line between Las
Timas and Gibara. uia Holquin, ia al
ready prepared. and working line from
Puerto Principe to Guaymara is nearly
finished fact. These lines have re-
mained umdisturbed after once in work
ing order, and this is considered positive
proof of the decline of the rebellion !.
Several prominent insurgents have sur
rendered, among them General Carnelio
Parro and Varane, and the two Ricas.
Others have issued manifestoes at Puerto
Principe and other places to their couu-
trymen. saying the revolution is finish
ed, and calling on all to lay down their
arms.
Manifestoes recently issued by insur-
gents have been extensively circulated,
and have good effect. It is reported
that Urquiza has also surrendered.
This is considered very important Ur-
quiza was the successor of the noted re-
bel leader Panoho Vego, who was inoa-
pacitated for service. 1t is reported that
Vego made his escape to Jamaica. The
only body OF rebels of importance re-
naming near Los Timas is commanded
by Vincent Garcia, who, it is represent
ed. has $50 men. Eight columns of
sroops are pursuing Garcia. The public
confidence Of the city is being restored,
and the people are pleased that Valma.
seda is to remain Captain General.
