AMNESTY FOR REBS.
GEN. CAMPOS ISSUES A PROCLA-
NATION.
FOR ALL WHO SURRENDER
A Free Pardon Except to the
Leaders of the Insur-
gents.

HAVANA, April 1S.-Captain Gen
eral Martinez de Campos has issued
from Santiago de Cuba a proclama-
ton offering pardon to all inSur-
gents, with the exception of the lead
ers, who will lay down their arms
and surrender. He has made prep
arations to Immediately pursue the
members of the bands who refuse
to come in under the proclamation,
and the warfare against them will
be w,aged vigorously. 1t is stated
here that some of the insurgent
bands have taken to torturing help
less residents of the country dis
tricts who have incurred their dis
pleasure. At Blanquizal, near Man
Zanillo, a grocer named Miguel
'Laureda was surprised at night by
Maceo's band. He was cruelty tor
tured and horribly mutilated, after
which he was led to a tree, where
he was left for buzzards to eat
Manuel Iglesia, a grocer of Bueyic-
to, Manuel Rietos and an old man
named Vicalna, who fought against
the rebels in the last revolution
have been murdered by rowing in
surgents. The town of Palma Zori-
ana, province. of Santiago de Cuba,
was attacked by insurgents, who
were repealed and pursued by a
body of troops. The rebels found ref
uge in the mountains The troops
discovered the place where their
camp had been located and found a
dead. rebel in it. A number of
weapons We're captured. Evidence
confirming the report of the death of
the rebel chief Manofrita was
found. Three of the government
forces were wounded in consequence
of not carrying out the orders that
had been given them. The captain
general has sent a colonel to Spain.
.. Senior Dupuy de Lone, the newly
appointed minister to the United
States, arrived at o'clock this even
ing. 1t is expected that he will pro-
coed for New York on Saturday, after
investigating the Alliance affair." Pri-
Vate adv1ces from the province of
Santiago de Cuba show that forces of
the insurgents do not amount to nearly
the number claimed by the rebels
Among the leaders of the yarious
bands are: Emilio Giral, a white man
who commands 200 men; Alfonso Gou-
let, mulatto, 500; Bernardo Camaeho
white, 100; Vietoriana Garzon, wlljts
400; Louis Bonne, muIatto. 200: Eduar-
do Dominguez, white, 200; Victoriana
Hierrezuelo, mulatto, 200; Quintin Ban
dera. negro, 1000, and Perico Peri
white, 1,l00 a total of $500 men. OF
this number 1900 are said to be armed
with rifles, while. the others use shot
guns and machetes as weapons. The
rebels do not possess a single piece OF
artillery.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by the fact that the rebels are
again resorting to the incendiary tao
tics that caused such enormous losses
to the planters during the las. insur-
rection. The central plantation Dos
Amigos 1.-TWO friends), the property of
Senior Nicolas Castano, situated on the
coast near Manzanillo, has been burner
oy the rebels Two million arrobas of
sugar cane were DESTROYED. The adj
wees GO not show whether the machin-
cry of the plantation was DESTROYED
niioulu the rebels burn many of them
the loss would be enormous.
1t is stated on good authority that
the troops commanded by Col. santa
Glide have cooped up band of in
surgents IN the mountains in the prov.
nce of Santiago de Cuba and that
their capture is only q question of
time. The rebels are making a stont
defense and a very hot fire is being
exchanged.
