Jacksonville, Fla, June "A telegram to the Finest Union from Key West, Fla, says:
 It is now known that the expedition of last Wednesday night landed on the north of Cuba in the province of Las Villas, near Sagua Lachico.
 The expedition was under the command of General Roloff. Immediately upon landing they were joined by 2ooo in- surgents, under command of Zayas, Cas- tilo and Reyes Among the filibusters was very prominent surgeon by the name of Valdes Dominguez, author of a book on the assassination of the medical students in 1871. They carried 300 pounds of dynamite It is rumored that four teen Americans accompanied the eXpe- diton, and also an expert telegraph op- orator, civil engineer and a powder maker. The vessel that carried the ex- petition, though not a warshlp, was pre- pared to show fight in case they were stopped by any Spanish gunboatS. It was undoubtedly the best equipped expe- dition that has left the states in the cause of Cuban liberty
 General Gomez, reported killed by the Spanish newspapers, has invaded Cana guey at the head of 250O of the best
 equipped men. At Camaguey Gomez was joined by 700 men, headed by a
 nephew of the Marquis of Santa Lucla; The inva sion of Camaguey is considered of great advantage to the insurgents. The province of Camaguey IS Buafaed
 by the best Spanish forces.
 Martinez Campos, who was Tn Cana
 guey at the time of the invasion by Go-
 meg, immediately left for Havana and
 called a meeting of the reformists and
 conservative parties with the idea of G
 fusion. The home rule party, being ig-
 nored has decided to disband, the ob-
 feet being to create bad blood or race war, Cubans against Spanlards. Many
 young men of the best families of Glen fuegos, Santa Clara and RemedloS are
 joining the insurgents.
 In official circles the death of Marti
 is denied. It is reported that the Cuban
 who deserted the insurgents stole Maru
 correspondence and delivered the same to General Salcedo This is the founda- tion for the report of Marti's death. General Sanguily, who was arrested by the Spanish government, charged with being an accessory of the noted bandit, Garcia, in kidnapping, has been tried. The government failed to convict him, and the probabilities are that he will be liberated shortly.
 It is rumored that another expedition has landed, consisting of three generals one American, a South African and a Cuban.
 Jero l6uuen, d prominent HleihpeI oL lhe home fhle party and a newspaper man, who left the island of Cuba at the com mencement of the revolution, has landed with an expedition of twenty-four men from Monte Cristo Santo Domingo. De sertions from the Spanish army are re- ported daily, and much trouble is antic- ipated from the troops on account of the
 soldiers refusing to obey orders. Woodward, reporter for the New York
 Recorder, reported killed by the Spanish
 papers, finding it impossible to get back from the insurgents lines, has joined the same and been given command of a com pany under MaceO. The man killed is said to be a newspaper man named Boyn- ton, who was trying to sell a dynamite machine to the insurgents, which he of- fered for $20,000. It is rumored in this city that Campos has liberated all polit- ical prisoners at Santiago. The Spanish papers fail to confirm the same.
