Nrarti Again Leads the Revolt.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Cuba has drawn the sword once more against Spain to bat tie for her independence. Cipher dispatches received hero yesterday by members of the Cuban revolutionary party, to whom the date set for the uprising has been known since Feb. 9, told that the revolution had been begun.
 Jose Marti, twice banished from Cuban soil because of his hatred of Spanish dom- ination, and General Maximo Gomez, who commanded the eastern wing of the Cuban rebels in the revolution of 1868, left New York two weeks ago for Vera Cruz, and the news received last night from Cuba | tells that they have landed, for their ar rival was to be the signal for the uprising. This movement will be kIrown as the Marti revolution, for it is Jose Marti, now on Cuban soil for the third time, who will be the head of the provisional government | If the rcvolutiOnists are successful. General Gomez, who accompanied him, | Is the comna lucr-in-chief of the revolu- | tionary forces.
 It was here in New York that the revo- | lution was planned ana it was from hero | that the order was sent which lighted the | fire of civil war in Cuba yesterday, or more probably on Sunday. since that was the date originally set. The Cuban lead CTS here in league with the revolutionistS of the island and with sympathizers in the United States, Mexico and the South American republics, have been long prepar- ing for the event the inception of which is announced in the cablegram above. Distribution of Cuban Forces. | The insurgent forces in Matanzas, near Ybarra, where one wing of the patriot party raised its standard, are under com mand of Major General Julio Sanguily. The point mentioned is about 66 miles | east of Havana, on the west end of the 1 island.
 The scene of the other uprising mention cd in the hcs-Guantanamo-is on the east end of the island. and the fact that these widely separated places are given prominence was accepted by Cubans in | New York last night to mean that the up | rising extended throughout the island, and that the spanish authorities were at tempting to helittlc its extent.
 The revolutionary forces in the eastern section of the islaEG, which includes Gu antanamo are commanded by BrigadieI General GuillcrmO MonCada. It is esti- mated that he can raise f. 900 men.
 The Spanish forces number about Is, 00C regulars, of which about 6, GOO are station. cd in Santiago de Cuba and are so within reach of the rebels at Guantanamo.
 The bulk of the remaining Spanish troops are stationed in Havana, and so arG near the scene of General Sanguily s start. ing point, Ybarra.
 Generals Gomez and Marti were expect ed to land on the south coast, but there i. some uncertainty about their exact destina tion, as they were forced to movc witt great caution and had gone to Vera Cru1 for the pHrpose of deceiving the Spanisf authorities, who were expecting trouble from another quarter, if at all.
 Martrs Chance Of Success.
 Men who arc high in the counsels of tn, Cuban party here and who were intrusteG with the date set for the uprising said las night that with the arms which have beer smuggled into Cuba in the last few weeks and which were landed near Matanzas ant other points, and those already in posses sion of the patriot forces. General Come would be able to arm 8, 1000 men at ono, and many more within q very short time
 Mcager advices received by mercantil, houses in New York yesterday confrmet the cipher dispatches which Cubans of tn revolutionary party here received abou noon.
 These dispatches, brief as they were mean beyond question thaS the five barreC patriot flag has been raised again, ant that the long exiled Cuban chiefs have TO turned to establish a free republic or per ish in the attempt. The leaders who wen from New York are marked men, witt prices on their heads. They have the Span ish forces before them and the sea behint the sea which has been the only refug for Cuban patriots for a century.
 Now, if ever, the Cubans will throw oi the Spanish yoke and establish the free re public for which they have been hghtin almost unceasingly for nearly 100 years.
 Arms have been landed on the island a several points, and tho revolutionists fo weeks past have only been awaiting tn landing of their exiled chiefs to throw oi conccalment and march against the Span iardS.
