ADVlCES FROM CUBA.
Spaniards Arrest British Subject-Prog-
rcss of the Revolution.

KEY WEST. Fla, Nov. 1.-THE Span
iards have arrested Ernest Brooks, Brit
ish subject and manager of the Soledad
sugar plantation, Messrs. Lacon and
Huget, French citizens, and several Amer
leans engaged in business in Guanatan-
amo. The British French and American
vice consuls demanded the release of the
prisoners, but the Spanards refused.
Spanish authorities assert that the men
arrested have paid tribute to the insur-
gent chief, Maceo, and have also snug
gled arms.
The Spaniards at the instance of Gener
al Campos, have also arrested about fifty
boys, members of the most prominent
Cuban families in Guantanamo, to be
held as hostages for the loyalty of their
parents. 1t is reported in Havana that
Campos will order under arrest the young
sons of leading Cubans in all the prov
inces, hoping thus TO prevent the spread
of the revolution.
Recently Martinez Campos offered
clemency to all insurgents who would sur
render. Believing Campos was sincere
fifty insurgents gave themselves up in
Santa Clara some dayr ago. These men
were brought TO Havana in chains, and

colony. Campos treachery has aroused
