COMING TO A CRISIS IN CUBA.

Rebels Are i'm Force in Santa Clara Pre-.
pared to Meet the spaniards.
HAVANA, Dec. I1.-Accorling to trust
worthy information just received here by
he correspondent of the Associated Press
the insurgents have been making rapid
progress through the province af Santa
Clara The forces COMMANDED by Gomez,
Maceo. Roloff, Sanchez, Carrillie, Guerra,
Diaz and other insurgent leade rs have
united and are now encamped at Ajaca,
about fifteen miles from Placeras.
From the fact that SO many of the in.
surgent leaders have concentrated their
forces it Is believed that Gomez and Maceo
have determined to risk a pitched battle
with the Spanish troops. This concentra-
ton of the insurgent forces, however, is
exactly what General Campos' is said to
have been praying for, and with the CON-
Ing OF the achievements Of troops from
Spain it now seems certain that he will be
able to strike q decisive blow.

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-THE Republican ad.
ministration which has been in control of
municipal affairs for the past eleven
months was ovcrthrown at the polls yes
terday after one of the most spirited and
holly contested campaigns in the history
of local politics, and Boston once moro
returns to its old position i'm the Demo-
cratic column. The Republican mayor
Hon. Edwin Upton Curtis. was defeated
by 1870 plurality, and all branches of tho
city government are Democratic, the Re-
publicans losing control of the board of
aldermen and school committee.
Annual municipal elections were held
in ten cities of the commonwealth. The
contests in Chelsea, Lynn, Lowell, and
Worcester were hard fought, and in each
case the A. P. A. figured largely. The Re-
publicans and A. p. A. carried Lynn and
Chelsea, while in Lowell the secret organ.

lican candidate for mayor of Worcester
was defeated by over 1000 plurality. The
