The Republicans of this city have
frequently charged that as colored
men could never agree among them
selves as to whom they wanted to repre-
sent them, they have not been given
recognition on account of the exist
ence of this discord in their own ranks.
What excuse will be made now in
view of the fact that Mr.. BATHS was
supported unitedly by the colored
men.

AGUERO IN CUBA.
His Army observation-disclosures in the
Island,
By Associated Pres

By Associated Press.
KEY WEST, Fla, April 10.-Advices
from Havana state that General Aguero,
in landing, met with no resistance. 1t
is reported that numerous factions
joined Aguero on the march to the
interior, swelling the party to many hun
dred followers. Several encounters with
the troops took place, the result of which
was that the troops were obliged to re.
treat. Great excitement exists in the
island, especially at Havana, owing to the
large force oftroOps that was concentrated
for several days at spot on the coast
where AguerO never would have landed.
1t is, therefore believed that the Govern
ment used the incident of Aguero' S
expected arrival for a display of
force with the object of intimidating the
Cubans Of Havana at the next election.
TheGovernment has telegraphed to Spain,
requesting that additional troops be sent.
The censorship of telegraphic dispatches
has been re-established.
