Revolution In Cuba.

New YORK, April 30.-The Herald's
Havana dispatches says Cuba is again in
the throes of a revolution. A general
uprising has taken place throughout the

movement, which was kept from the
public by the authorities, started near
Holguina, April "a, when two brothers
named Sartorlus raised the war cry, anc
with twenty followers marched out Of
the little town of Puernio. They were
reinforced the following day by SO men
from the town of Velasco. They con-
tinued in the direction of Milas, near
the north cost, where they were strongly
reinforced and where they expected to
meet expeditions from the United states.
Reports of uprisiugs throughout the
districts of Manzanitto, Holguina, GUM

ceived.
A council Of war was called by the
captain general on the night of the 9th
and yesterday he issued an order decIar
ing the province of Santiago de Cuba
ia a state of siege. Orders we're issued
detaching troops from every available
point. They are being sent eastward to
check the uprisinS, which is now beeom
ing general apparently in keeping
with a previous arrangement of the
leaders. Havana, Matanzas and neigh
boring cities regular troops are march
ing in the streets and drilling constant
ly. Troops which have been following
the bandits in this vicinity have been
ordered to Manzanil o.
The situation Is considered by the
authorities and public press as serious,
and all the available government forces
are being center in Yult Arriba.
The Tartorius brothers are vonng
men of good family born in Glbars.
Their father is "A retired captain Of the
