Special Correspondence of the Associated Press.
!, HAVANA, April 3.-There Is keen an.
ticipation among the Cubans and will be
for some days to come. General Martinez
Campos, with s, ,000. .00o in cash. lot OF
troops and large personal influence, Is
bending sail here. Great will bo the day
and large the occasion when Campos
again sets his foot on Cuban soil, to put
down another rebellion. The people here
are expecting him and anticipate with
anxious interest his coming. To an on
locker, the interest among official people
seems to arise more from anticipation OF
the pageant and the clatter OF bright metal
than from any consciousness that Campos
is needed here.
Havana, always accustomed to the milf
tary, has not been vividly impressed by
the landing of tho troops from Spain.
The repression of the Havana papers re-
suits in ignorance of details, if not of facts
of the eastern districts, and so, while peo-
plo look on and are interested In the show
before them, they feel they have no per-
sonal part In the matter and are indeed
quite content to leave all the fatigue oil
activity to those who must act. Mean
while, during the week, there will be les-
ser diversions furnished by the arrival OF
about 1000 more Spanish troops AZ any
moment now the steamers San Ignacio de
Loyola, from Cadiz, with LAO men, and
the Ciudad de Santander, from Curana,
with S45 men, may enter the harbor. The
| Spanish cruiser Sanchez Barcaezetegui
entered the harbor here yesterday and
left to-day.
| The utmost vigilance is exercised by the
government to prevent the landing In
| Cuba of the rebel leaders who are in other
parts. The government especially def
nitely desires to intercept Maceo, whom
the officials profess to believe has not ef-
fected a landing. There is positive in
formation in this city, however, that Ma
Geo is now on the island and that the
other leaders will come later. All the
movements of the rebels make proof that
the plan announced In these dispatches
and the one laid by their leaders is being
consistently followed.
This is waiting campaign. They APP
pear and disappear. They make a sortie
against some village, and if troops appear
they hustle away out of sight, They -havf
alarmed the inhabitants and they have
barassed the troops, whose officer tele
graphs the governor general that his rrier
bravely met "a group" and routed the
enemy, who iran away. 1t is
fact that there are on this island
to-day between 5000 and 500
rebels who have rifles and cartridge
within their reach. The government ma.
scout this statement, but it holds. tn
leaders know better than to openly oppos
their 5000 or 5000 men against superio
forces, when climate and sickness ar
relied upon as allies later on.
"Let Spain get here all she intends O
send, and then we will play hide aud see
with them, aided by climatic conditions
We can combine all our forces and strik
a decisive blow at the sick and climate
worn forces of SPAIN" That is about tn
reply the insurgents would make I
criticisms of their lack of aggressiv
activity.
MADRID, April7.-The Cuban home rul
party have just issued manifesto col
demning the rebellion in Cuba, expressin
loyalty to Spain and profferring assistane
to crush the rising. The latest officis
dispatch received here declare that IN
rebellion is exaggerated by the local al
thorities in Cuba, inasmuch as 1t is col
fined to mulattoes and negroes who has
failed to extend their operations beyon
Tho aastern Drovince.
