ARMS SHIPPED TO CUBA.
Three Batches Sent from PhfladeI.
Dhf0 via Savannah

WASHINGTON. March 2S, 1S95.-The
State Department has been recently adj
vtsed that three shipments of arms have
been made within the past few weeks
from the United States to the insurgents
in Cuba. In one case the arms were sent
from Philadelphia to Savannah. They
were transferred at that point to a small
fishing smack of ten or fifteen tons bur
den and carried to the east coast of Cuba
to the Province of Santiago de Cuba,
which is the hotbed of the rebellion.
These fishing vessels are so small that
they can hover about the shores until
the coast is clear and then make land
ing at any one of the score of safe points.
The Administration, it is said, is doing
all in its power to prevent the shipment
of these contrabands of war. but 1T is
claimed they. are being made constantly.
The appointment OF General Martinez
Campos as the comander-in-chief of the
Spanish Army in Cuba is regarded here
as meaning vigorous prosecution of the
rebellion from this time. Campos is q
stern old veteran of many wars and
will use the most repressiye measures in
order to check the growing tide of in
